In Hollywood, everybody wants to be rich, famous and beautiful. Nobody wants to be old, unknown and poor. For Hollywood kids, life can be difficult, because they grow up in such an unreal atmosphere. Their parents arc ambitious and the children are part of the parents’ ambitions.
Parents pay for wasteful grand parties, expensive cars and designer clothes. When every dream can come true, kids don’t learn the value of anything because they have everything. A 13-year-old boy, Trent Maguire, has a driver, credit cards and unlimited cash to do what he wants when he wants to. "One day, I’ll earn more than my dad." He boasts.
Parents buy care and attention for the children because they have no time to give it themselves. Amanda’s mother employs a personal trainer, a body guard, a singing coach and a counselor to look after all her 15-year-old daughter’s needs.
Often there is no parent at home most days, so children decide whether to make their own meals or go out to restaurants, when to watch television or do homework. They organize their own social lives. They play no childhood games. They become adults before they’re ready.
Hollywood has always been the city of dreams. The kids there live unreal lives where money, beauty and pleasure are the only gods. Will children around the world soon start to think the same? Or do they already?
Questions 16 to 19 are based on the passage you have just heard,
16. Why is life said to be difficult for Hollywood kids?
17. What does the speaker say about Trent Maguire, a thirteen-year-old boy?
18. Why does Amanda’s mother employ other people to look after her needs?
19. What will probably have negative effects on the lives of Hollywood kids?
选项
A、The lifestyle depicted in Hollywood movies.
B、The worship of money, beauty and pleasure.
C、The attention the media focuses on them.
D、The pursuing of perfection in performance.
答案
B
解析
推理题。文章最后,好莱坞一直以来都是梦工厂,那种环境下长大的孩子把金钱、美貌和享受当作神明崇拜(The kids there liveunreal lives where money,beauty and pleasure are the only gods.)。再结合作者在全文中透露的语气可知,作者是反对这种价值观的。故选B。
