Pop stars today enjoy what once only belonged to royalty. Wherever they go, people turn out in their thousands to greet them. The crowds go wild trying to catch a brief glimpse of their smiling, or colorfully dressed idols. The stars are transported by Rolls- Royces, private helicopters or executive aeroplanes. They are surrounded by managers,press agents and bodyguards. Photographs of them appear regularly in the press and all their comings and goings are reported. If they enjoy many of the privileges of royalty, they certainly share many of the inconveniences as well. They are no longer private individuals, but public property. The financial rewards they receive for this sacrifice cannot be calculated, for their rates of pay are great.

And why not? Society has always rewarded its top entertainers generously. The great days of Hollywood have become legendary:famous stars enjoy fame, wealth and adulation(奉承). According to today's standards, the excesses of Hollywood do not seem quite so surprising. A single record nowadays may earn much more in royalties(版税) than the films of the past ever did. The competition for the title"Top of the Pops"is fierce, and the rewards are truly huge.

It is only right that the stars should be paid in this way. Don't the top men in industry earn enormous salaries for the service they perform to their companies and their countries? Pop stars earn vast sums in foreign currency-often more than large industrial companies-and the taxman can only be grateful for their massive annual contributions to the exchequer(国库). So who would begrudge them their rewards?

It's all very well for people in boring jobs to complain about the successes and rewards of others. People who make envious remarks should remember that the most famous stars represent only the tip of the iceberg. For every famous star, there are hundreds of people struggling to earn a living. A man working in a steady job and looking forward to a pension at the end of it has no right to expect very high rewards. He has chosen security and peace of mind, so there will always be a limit to what he can earn. But a man who attempts to become a star is taking enormous risks. He knows at the very beginning that only a handful of competitors can get to the very top. He knows that years of concentrated effort may be rewarded with complete failure. But he knows, too, that the rewards for success are very high indeed: they are the payback for the huge risks involved and once he makes it, he will certainly earn them. That's the essence of private enterprise.

45. The underlined word "begrudge"in the third paragraph is closest in meaning to "________".

A．be jealous of	B．be satisfied with
C．be anxious about	D．be crazy about

46. According to the passage, which of the following can match the view of the author?

A．He who laughs last laughs best.

B．Nothing ventured, nothing gained.

C．He who makes no mistakes makes nothing.

D．Success belongs to the persevering.

47. The author holds a(n) ______ attitude towards the high income of pop stars.

A．critical	B．indifferent
C．optimistic	D．supportive

48. Which of the following is true according to the passage?

A．People are blind in idolizing stars.

B．There is fierce competition in becoming pop stars.

C．The government taxes pop stars very little.

D．Pop stars' life is more luxurious than that of royalty.

Dear Jack,

I'm sorry to hear that you feel lonely in the new school, because you find hard to make friends. Now, I'd like to offering you some advice.

Firstly, it's normal for you to feel lonely because you were living in a new environment. Secondly, you should greet your classmates when met them on campus. Thirdly, it will be a good idea if you take an actively part in class activities, what can help them learn more about you. I believe you will be able to make new friends soon unless you're friendly to the others.

I hope the suggestion above will be helpful to you and that everything will be fine with you for the future.

Yours,

Li Hua
