2081．Rich and Famous Twenty years ago the most common ambition of American children was to be a teacher，followed by working in banking and finance，and then medicine.But today's situation is quite different.（1）
Instead they most commonly say they want to be a sports star，a pop star，or an actor —in other words，they hope to become a celebrity.
According to experts，young people desire these jobs largely because of the wealth and the fame.（2）Let's take athletes and singers as an example.Their careers are short-lived.Many athletes，best time only lasts a few years and singers can have a very limited career.The field that was once the focus of their lives becomes something they have little or no involvement in.As a result，they'll have a feeling of worthlessness and a lack of control.（3）The truth is quite simple：they have been so far removed from it for so long.
In spite of these disadvantages，there is greater ambition than ever among young people to achieve that status.They are not satisfied just making a living— they want to be rich and famous.Globally，more and more TV shows provide talent competitions where winners can achieve their goals in just a few weeks or months.（4）They unrealistically believe that this lifestyle is easily obtained and leads to great satisfaction.
While many people argue that there is nothing wrong with having such ambitions，others feel that this trend will finally lead to dissatisfaction as more and more people are unable to reach their goals.（5）That means they ignore the simple fact that great effort is needed before success.As a result，many people won't realize their childhood dreams，which could have a negative effect on their happiness.
A.The younger generation don't favor these professions any more.
B.In many ways this has been brought about by the celebrity culture.
C.Unfortunately，they do not always have a positive effect on people's life.
D.Besides，it can be difficult for them to adapt back to a normal everyday life.
E.People no longer have a sense of satisfaction once their goals have been achieved.
F.This quick way of gaining wealth and fame creates a celebrity culture among people.
G.The reason is that they don't realize it takes talent and hard work to be rich and famous.發(fā)布：2024/6/27 10:35:59組卷：4引用：1難度：0.52082．

And we need plants for another reason---we need them because they are beautiful．
（2）Imagine no flowers with their sweet smells，their beautiful colors and their lovely shapes．Imagine，when the wind blows，we are not able to hear the leaves of the trees or watch the branches swing from side to side．
（3）That is why we have parks full of trees and flowers．That is why people always like houses with room for some grass and a garden．
Do you talk to your plants？（4）Peter Tompkins and Christopher Bird，writers of a book called The Street of Plants，tell of an experiment in which two seeds were planted in different places．While the plants were growing，one plant was given love and hopeful ideas．（5）Under the earth it had more and longer roots；above the earth，it had a thicker stem and more leaves．

（achieve）.One of the problems is that the trip would take a very long time.For example，using current technology，it would take over two years（2）（get）to the closest planet，Mars，and back.Although light is the fastest thing known in the universe，it could take more than four years to reach the nearest star system.Will scientists figure out a way（3）（store）sufficient food and water for the long journey？Is it possible to travel faster than light？No one knows the answers yet.However，space scientists never give up.They are experimenting with growing crops in space so as（4）（help） astronauts get enough food on longer journeys through space.發(fā)布：2024/6/27 10:35:59組卷：2引用：1難度：0.62087．

She continued "I want to thank each and every one of our fantastic nurses who are on the frontline in the battle against the greatest health emergency in NHS history.Their professionalism and skills are helping to save and rebuild （9）（count）lives.I know how much the public's support has cheered my （10）（colleague） during this testing time.It would mean a great deal if people once again showed their gratitude by shining a blight for nurses this Tuesday."發(fā)布：2024/6/27 10:35:59組卷：2引用：1難度：0.52089．When I first arrived in Australia at the age of 16 to go to high school for one year and live with a host family，I was completely over the moon about everything.I had been planning for many months.But，even though all exchange students participated in a one-day preparatory meeting，culture shock couldn't be avoided.
Those first weeks are so-called "honeymoon phase Ⅰ" where you are happy to be in that culture.However，this feeling didn't last forever.After about two months，differences became more evident.I started missing my friends and family more and more.Frustrating thoughts increasingly occupied my head-nobody really understands me，and my English is not good enough.I wish people would just he able to speak German for one day!I wish public transportation would work the same way as at home!And so on.I knew it was "honeymoon phase Ⅱ".
Over the next few months，though，I slowly and unknowingly entered the "adjustment phase".I developed my own little routine，learnt to adapt to stress through various techniques，and made many new friends.My English improved dramatically!
I understood Australian culture better and better.That was a major breakthrough for me personally.Every day I felt more and more comfortable with my new home.I adopted many new traits（特征） while also keeping earlier ones from my home country.I would often refer to myself as "having a second nationality".This process which happened over my last few months abroad is called the "mastery phase".My happiest moment was when my dear friend one day said during a conversation， "You are Australian now，Jude!You sound just like us!"
I want to point out that the effects of culture shock are different for everyone and can result in different behaviour and feelings.The timing of the different phases also varies a lot from person to person.One thing is for sure-though culture shock is unavoidable，acceptance is the first step towards adjusting better to a foreign culture.
