Everyone wants to be a pop star. When I was a kid, I wanted to be a pop star.   71    You get to sing and dance and make voices. People are willing to pay you tons of money and, of course, many fans love you. It’s a perfect life; what could be the problems?

  72   And one of the biggest problems is “crazy” fans who live their idols (偶像) too much. Andy Lau, the Hong Kang superstar, experienced that last year. A fan was so crazy about Andy that she persuaded her parents to spend all their money and travel to Hong Kang to meet him. Andy is a nice man so he met the girl and talked with her for a few minutes.

That should have been the end of the story, but it wasn’t!   73   In despair (絕望), the father jumped into the sea and said it was because Andy Lau had made him poor and had made his daughter a “crazy” fan. It’s a very sad story and it shows what can happen when ordinary people become crazy pop fans.

We like famous persons, and we enjoy listening to them.   74   And some people think that, since they love the pop star, the pop star should love then back.. That’s crazy!   75   They have their own families and friends. Their job is to entertain us, not to love us. So, don’t be a “crazy” fan, be a good fan, and just appreciate the joy, the happiness and the excitement that your favorite pop star bring you.

A. Well, clearly, there are lots of problems.

B. Sometimes we think we know them as well as we know our closest friends.

C. It seems like the coolest job in the world.

D. The family had spent all their money to meet Andy and they had no money to return home.

E. They hated the superstar.

F. Pop stars have their own personal lives.

G. In fact, there is no difficulty in becoming a pop star.

根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容，從短文后的七個選項中選出能填入空白處的最佳選項。選項中有兩項為多余選項.

1.  A team gets better. A kid practices more and swims a personal best or learns a new move on the basketball court. In 2006, two things happened that got me thinking about change—in sports and in life.

2. Agassi was a terrific player who won 60 titles, including eight major championships. But his greatest accomplishment might have been how much he changed during his career.

When he was young, Agassi was a showoff who seemed to care only about himself. He didn’t train very hard, but he won matches because of his tremendous talent. 3.  He fell from No.1 in the world ranking to No.141.

So Agassi changed. He trained harder and become a world-class player again.  4.

He was nicer to fans and opponents. He stopped thinking just about himself and started thinking about others. Through his Andre Agassi Charitable Foundation, he raised more than $60 million to help disadvantaged kids around his hometown of Las Vegas, Nevada. He even started a school, the Andre Agassi College Preparatory Academy, for at-risk kids.

5. But they do happen. Just remember Andre Agassi. It wasn’t easy, but he changed, and changed for the better.

A. More important, he changed as a person.

B. Finally, everyone should remember that being an excellent player is a tough job.

C. Changes such as those can be difficult.

D. Sports are all about change.

E. Eventually, though, injuries and his bad attitude caught up with him.

F. One of them is tennis champion Andre Agassi, who retired in 2006

G. What Agassi needed to learn was that he should train harder and perform better.
