20、ny hours, I watched from across the path people advancing the stoop, some leaving with Mom1S dress.

32、t I do is so wonderful because I interview stars. And I have to admit that when I first started working at Sassy in 1987 I was excited about that part of my job for the first couple of months，anyway. Then I noticed how stars would fool me around for months. I could never get enough time with a star

33、to find out anything interesting, and some acted just simply rudely. I started hating the way I was treated, and I was really disappointed to see that these people I had worshipped (崇拜）before were pretty ordinary. So I decided I would just tell the truth instead of keeping up their myths(神秘）.If the

34、star was a bad guy, I would say so. If I thought anyone was stupid, I did not hold back that information.I thought readers would appreciate that kind of honesty. Surprisingly, many of them hated me for it. I have gotten so many attacks on my character. In their eyes，being famous is everything, even

35、more desirable than being truly creative and talentedWhy do we need stars? In fact, the media created stars to satisfy our basic need for gossip (闲话）.Over time, talking about people we have never met and we are never likely to meet has become what we are crazy about. Thus, some people are more inter

36、ested in the personal lives of the stars than in the lives of their own family and their own friends. That is why it is so ridiculous when a star wants to discuss only his or her work in an interview -as we care. We want the dirt on their personal lives.There is another reason we worship stars. As a

37、 whole, our society is not as religious as it once was. It seems that people need something to fulfill them the way religion once did. Star worship exists as an unfulfilling desire for true heroes.We make them stars, but then their reputation makes us feel unimportant, and we truly feel better about

38、 ourselves when they die. I am part of this whole process. No wonder I feel soiled at the end of workday.39.What are the stars like according to the author?A.They always treat others rudely.B.They always talk about something dull.C They are acutually ordinary people.D.They are usually honest and pol

41、Cambodians are learning a new sport skateboarding. The countrys first skateboard park is located on the grounds of a local charity group at the edge of Phnom Penh, the capital.Sports like Khmer boxing and soccer are wildly popular in Cambodia. But Chea ，who has been skating for 6 months ，says skatin

42、g has already become his favorite sport.The skaters are learning tricks like launching off a jump or half-pipe and flying through the air on their narrow wooden boards.A non-governmental organization called Skateistan Cambodia organizes weekly programs at the park. Skateistan started its work in Afg

43、hanistan years ago. Rory Burke is working with the group which expanded to Cambodia last year.Rory Burke points out, “Yeah, its definitely not a typical Cambodian pastime (消遣）.And I think the idea of why skateboardingis that its not been done before here. We want to use skateboarding as something sa

44、ying, Hey，this is new ，this is something different.，And that kind of itself becomes a little bit of hook. People see it and they think and they say, Wow, what is that?，and they want to get involved. ”Skateistan partners with local groups that work with young people. The park is on the grounds of the

45、 group known as PSE, where children attend school and learn a trade. There are almost one hundred twenty participants. They all come from troubled lives.Seventeen-year-old Sang Rotha is a student at PSE. “Sometimes I dont do well on subjects like math,”he says, “I feel bad when I find it hard to kee

46、p up with my lessons. So that is why I skateboard -to improve my bad feelings. ，He says he began skateboarding more than a year ago. Before he started training, it seemed very easy.

50、 skillsEYawning sends out certain messages -either “Oh ，this movie is so boring” or “I probably need to get some sleep”. But did you know that a yawn can also help your brain to cool down when it is overheated?A new study, led by a research team at Princeton University, has indicated that yawning co

51、uld be the brains natural way of regulating temperature. People yawn more often when the temperature outdoors is lower than their body temperature but are less likely to yawn when it is hotter outdoors, according to Sciencedaily. com.The research team did an experiment on 160 people, 80 in summer an

52、d 80 in winter, to examine how often they yawned at different air temperatures. The study found that people yawned more often in winter than in summer. Scientists say that when the air temperature is lower outside the body, there is heat exchange between the overheated brain and the cool air. But wh

53、en the air temperature is higher than or equal to the body, people are less likely to yawn because the hot air they breathe in will make the brain even hotter.When people yawn, their jaw is also stretched ，which increases blood flow and may also help cool the brainThe study showed that the amount so

54、meone yawned could be related to the amount of time they spent outside. The longer they spent outside in summer, the less they yawned. Nearly 40 percent of participants yawned within their first five minutes outside, but after that the percentage was reduced to less than 10 percent.However, the resu

55、lt was the opposite in winter. The number of people who yawned increased when they spent more than five minutes outdoors. But the change was only slight compared to summertime.According to Gallup, this is the first report to show that yawning frequencies change depending on season. This could help u

56、s to understand better the way our brains work. It may also help us understand the reason why frequent yawning can sometimes be a sign of brain disease.47.The purpose of the experiment is _.A.to prove people yawn in winter and in summer equallyB.to indicate brain can regulate temperature naturallyC.to find the frequency of peoples yawningD.to show the real reason why people yawn48.The information we get from Paragraphs 5 and 6 is that _.A.longer outdoor summertime results in more yawnsB.yawning frequency changes with outdoor timeC.yawning f
