                                          B

         Every country has its heroes. The heroes are the people the country and especially the young people admire. If you get a list of the heroes of a country ? it will tell you the potential (潛力) of that country. Today in America,if you ask the high school students to list their heroes,their choices would probably fall into three groups. The first group of heroes would be the rock (搖滾樂) stars—the people connected with rock music. There is no doubt that such people do have talent but one wonders if one should hold up rock stars as a model. The rock stars too often are involved with drugs (毒品) and their personal life is not all that good. The rock stars are rich and wear the latest fashion styles. However ? one should look for more in a hero than such things as money and good clothes. The second type of heroes for the American young people is the sports stars. Again you have a person who has a great ability in one area—sports. However,too often the personal life of the sports stars is a bit of a mess. Drugs and drinking are usually a part of life of the sports stars. The third type of heroes is the TV or movie stars. These persons may have lots of acting talent and be quite handsome. However,the personal life of too many actors is quite sad,and they should not be held up as a model for young people. Today? the rock stars,the sports stars,and the actors all have become the models of the young people in America. Really,do you hear a young person say that his hero is a doctor,a teacher,or a scientist? These people are not rich and do not wear fashionable clothes. However ? they are talented people who work hard to make the world a better place for everyone. What is really sad is that the young try to learn from their heroes. They like to wear the same clothes and follow their styles. If the heroes of today for the American young people are limited ( P艮定) only to the rock stars,the sports stars and the actors,the future does not look too bright.

() 1. From the passage ? we know that the American young people will not admire

   A. a college researcher   B. a popular singer

   C. a football player   D. a film actor

() 2. According to the writer,people should admire those .

   A. who are rich and wear the latest fashionable clothes

   B. who can express people ’ s  feelings

   C. whose personal life is good

   D. who work in the interests of the people

() 3. How does the writer feel about the American young people ’ s admiration?

   A. He understands it. B. He is worried about it.

   C. He is angry about it. D. He is uninterested in it.
