What Do You Feel Like Watching Today?

While some people stick to only     1     kind of movie, I like to watch different kinds depending     2     how I feel that day.

When I’m down or tired, I prefer movies     3     can cheer me up. Comedies like Men in Black or cartoons like Kung Fu Panda have funny dialog and usually have a happy     4     (end). The characters may not be perfect, but they try their best     5     (solve) their problems. After I watch them , my problems suddenly seem less serious and I feel much better again.     6     (laugh) for two hours is a good way to relax!

I don’t watch dramas or     7     (documentary) when I’m sad or tired. Dramas like Titanic make me feel even     8     (sad). Documentaries like March of the Penguins which provide plenty of information about a certain subject can be interesting, but when I’m tired I don’t want to think too much. I don’t mind action movies like Spider-Man when I’m too tired to think. I can just shut off my brain, sit back and enjoy     9     (watch) an exciting superhero who always saves the world just in time.

Once in a while, I like to watch movies that are     10     (scare). They can be fun, but I’m too scared to watch them alone. I always bring a friend who isn’t afraid of these kinds of movies, and it doesn’t feel so scary anymore.

6 . Many people dream of being a film star. Successful Hollywood stars often earn (赚) millions of dollars, and they can buy almost anything they want. They live in fantastic houses and they wear expensive clothes. They drive the best cars in the world and their work often takes them to wonderful places. They can have amazing holidays, stay in luxury hotels, go to Hollywood parties, and enjoy seeing their photos on the cover of magazines, and their faces on the big screen. To us it seems that they have everything. But are they really happy?

I don’t think the lives of Hollywood film stars are as easy as we think. For many of them, life is like living in a goldfish bowl, and everyone can see everything they do. They are followed by paparazzi (狗仔队) wherever they go and we can read all about their private lives in newspapers and magazines. All this means that many film stars have found it difficult to lead a normal life. Macaulay Culkin became famous after the film Home Alone when he was only ten years old. He didn’t always have an easy life at home and stopped acting for a time. Marilyn Monroe — a big Hollywood star in the 1950s — died in 1962, only 36 and very unhappy. The young 1980s star River Phoenix died when he was only 23.

Not all film stars die young, of course, but they often have other problems. They have to look young and beautiful, and some of them spend thousands of dollars on cosmetic surgery (整容手术). Many Hollywood marriages don’t last very long. For example, Richard Gere and Cindy Crawford divorced (离婚) in 1995 after four years of marriage.

1. The underlined word “luxury” in Paragraph 1 probably means “something ________”.

A．noisy

B．quiet

C．expensive

2. How does the passage show us “many film stars have found it difficult to lead a normal life”?

A．By using film stars’ words.

B．By giving facts and examples.

C．By describing people’s opinions.

3. The writer mentions Richard Gere and Cindy Crawford because they   ________.

A．had a failed marriage

B．said no to cosmetic surgery

C．often appeared on the big screen

4. Which is the best title for the passage?

A．Do you have the acting dream?

B．Why would I like to be a film star?

C．Are film stars’ lives as perfect as we think?
