three people in Britain have a new kind of disease (病) —they love a famous person too much.
Some people love famous stars like Britney Spears, David Beckham or even Tony Blair. It is not just
the young; grown-ups have the same problem. One in four people are so interested in their hero that it
affects (影响) their life.
There are two ways of worshipping (崇拜) famous people. One way is just to follow them or talk
about them with friends for fun. The other is a more serious way. People have very strong feelings for them and think they are their friends. People who do so for fun are found to be happier. But those who have
strong feelings for a famous person are perhaps to feel more lonely and worried.
"Worshipping famous people is not certainly a bad thing," Dr. John, an expert (专家) said. "But like
many things, overdoing it may not always be good for you."
B. famous people can pay them a lot of money
C. they must go to the hospital
D. there is something wrong with their mind
B. About a quarter.
C. More than half.
D. Just two or three.
B. The second one is better.
C. Both of them are good.
D. Neither of them is good.
B. they think the famous person may be in trouble
C. they are afraid the famous person may not like them
D. they cannot get anything in return from the famous person
B. anything overdone may bring some trouble
C. famous people are not always friendly to us
D. we mustn"t worship anybody or anything

Since last week, six emperor penguins have been on show at the Beijing Pacific Underwater World (太平洋海底世界, BPUW). "I had only seen penguins in my geography textbook," said 13-year-old
Yu Yaxin, when she was watching the birds in the aquarium. "Emperor penguins are much bigger and
taller than I had thought. They"re up to my shoulders!"
One month ago these penguins came to China from the Antarctic.
At BPUW, emperor penguins have their own room with a swimming pool! A big air-conditioner helps to keep the room as cold as minus four degrees Celsius.
"They"re starting to enjoy their new life now," said Shi Xiaomin, head of the BPUW. "They no longer
hide in the corner when people try to get close to them."
Shi told TEENS that all six were quite lazy. They spend the whole day eating and sleeping. They sleep for more than ten hours a day!
They"re not always as nice as they seem. When they get angry, they make loud noises and move their bodies from side to side. They also hit very fast with their hard flippers (鳍状肢).
There are 17 kinds of penguin and the emperor penguin is the largest and also most beautiful of all. Its colourful feathers and lively spirit (气度) made people call it the "emperor" of penguins.
Emperor penguins can swim as fast as 30 kilometres per hour. That"s faster than large ships!
In the wild, emperor penguins spend half their time on the cold Antarctic (南极的) ice and the other
half in the water. They"re the only birds that give birth during the cold winters in Antarctica. There are now about 570,000 emperor penguins in the Antarctic.
B. The Antarctic.
C. Beijing zoo.
D. The Indian Ocean.
B. are just big birds
C. are taller and larger than expected
D. sleep and eat all day long
B. can swim faster than large ships
C. spend most of their time eating and sleeping
D. they are beautiful and lively
B. cry out and refuse to eat
C. play tricks on people who feed them
D. hide in a corner and cry
B. They spend half their time on the cold Antarctic (南极的) ice and the other half in the water.
C. They can swim in the cold water in Antarctica.
D. They fly up in the sky like other birds in Antarctica.
In the countries all over the world, people are leaving the countryside in large numbers to find jobs in
the cities. They leave because the countryside is much poorer than the city, and often there isn"t much work there. Services such as hospital and transport are usually much better in cities than they are in the country. They hope that their lives will improve when they move to the city.
But in the big cities of Europe and America-London, Paris, New York, people are moving out of
the city. These are usually families who have some money, and want to live a quieter life. They are tired of
the noise and the dirt of the city, tired of the crowded streets, crowded trains and buses. They don"t want
to sit in traffic any more. They want a house with a garden, and clean air that isn"t polluted.
So they move out. Some don"t go very far, just a little way out of the city, to the towns near the cities, other people move to the real countryside with sheep and cows and green fields!
There, they start new lives and try to make new friends.
Not all those who move from the city to the countryside are happy. After two or three years, many
people who have done this feel that it was a big mistake. They don"t make so much money and there isn"t much to do. Country people are very different and aren"t always very friendly.
As a result, quite a lot of people who have moved to the countryside move back to the city. "It"s
wonderful to see crowded in the streets and cinema lights," they say, "I"m so glad back in the city !"
