new study．
In case
anyone needed proof, a new study supports the
widely held perception

，according to a
：Famous
people are more
narcissistic(自我陶醉的)，which means they are more in

is．That is the conclusion drawn by Drew Pinsky and
S．Mark Young of the
University of Southern
California，whose study of 200 celebrities will
appear in the Journal Of

It is not the entertainment
industry that turns stars into narcissists，the

were a11 celebrities
from Pinsky‘Loveline’ｓ’radio show, found that
reality TV stars were the most
narcissistic of
all celebrities．Female stars were also more likely
than the male stars to exhibit
narcissistic
characteristics．
It’s “common sense” that
celebrities are narcissists，said Jeremy Ritzlin，a
longtime Hollywood
psychologist who has not
seen the study．“Everyone knows famous people are
really in love with
themselves，”he said．“So it
would be natural for narcissists to be attracted
toward the stage and
spotlight，where other
people will also think highly of them．”
Pinsky,
an assistant clinical professor of psychiatry at
USC’S Keck School of Medicine，said
narcissists
desire attention，are overconfident，behave
strangely and lack sympathy．“However,
they are
easily-liked，especially on first meeting，are
outgoing and perform well in public
Pinsky, who
has hosted the radio show“Loveline”for 20
years．
Celebrity guests appearing on the
program were randomly chosen to participate in the
study．They anonymously(匿名地)took the
Narcissistic Personality Inventory test．which
rates
self-love levels based on seven

authority,
exploitativeness，and self-sufficiency．

2014高考训练题
One of the greatest sources of
unhappiness，in my experience，is the difficulty we
have in
accepting things as they are．
When
we see something we don’t like，we wish it could be
different．We cry out for
something better．That
may be human nature，or perhaps it’s something
ingrained(根深蒂固的
in our culture．The root of the
unhappiness isn’t necessarily that we want things
to be
)
different．However,
it
rather than saying,
’s that we decided
we didn
“It's not bad or good，and it just is
it．”
’t like it in the first place．We’ve judged
it as bad，
In one of my books，I said“You should
expect people to mess up and expect things to go
differently than you planned”．Some readers
said it's too sorrowful to expect things to go
wrong．However, it’s only negative if you see
it as negative and judge it as bad．Instead，you
could
．accept it as the way the world works
and try to understand why that is
This can be
applied to whatever you do：how other people act at
work，how politics works
and how depressing the
news media can be．Accept these things as they
are，and try to
understand why they’re that
way．It will save you a lot of sadness，because
you’ll no longer say,
“Oh．1 wish bad things
didn’t happen!’’
Does it mean you can never
change things? Not at a11．But change things not
because you
can’t accept things as they
are，but because you enjoy the process of
changing，learning and
growing．
Can we make
this world a better place? You can say that you’11
continue to try to do things
to help others，to
grow as a person，to make a difference in this
world．That’s the correct path
you choose to
take，because you enjoy that path．Therefore，when
you find yourself judging and
wishing for
difference，try a different approach：accept，and
understand．It might lead to some
interesting
results．

unhappy maybe because ___________.
A．it is our
natural emotion in the life
B．culture asks us

C．everyone has
their own opinions on things

B
With the development of
society, the choice of food and drinks for
children is more diversified than
ever before.
However, every coin has two sides. Many facts
suggest that children are overweight
and the
situation is getting worse, according to the
statistics. I feel there are a number of reasons
for this.
Some people blame the fact that
we are surrounded by shops selling unhealthy,
fatty foods, such as
fried chicken and ice
cream, at low prices. This has turned out a whole
generation of grown-ups
who seldom cook a meal
for themselves. If there were fewer of these
restaurants then probably
children would buy
less take-away food.
There is another argument
that blames parents for allowing their children to
become overweight. I
agree to this, because
good eating habits begin early in life, long
before children start to visit fast
food
shops. If children are given fried chicken and
chocolate rather than healthy food, or are always
allowed to choose what they eat, they will go
for sweet and salty foods every time, and this
will
carry on throughout their lives.
There is a third reason for this situation.
Children these days take very little exercise.
They do not
walk to school. When they get
home, they sit in front of the television or their
computers. Not only
is this an
unhealthy pastime（消遣）, it also gives them time to
eat more unhealthy food. What they
need is to
go outside and play active games or sports.
The above are the main reasons for this
problem, and therefore we have to encourage young
people to be more active, as well as guiding
them away from fast food shops and bad eating
habits.
50. What is suggested by the author to
deal with
A. Blaming the shops selling
unhealthy and fatty foods.
B. Asking young
children to walk to school every day.
C.
Living an active life and removing bad eating
habits.
D. Not watching TV or playing computer
games after school.
51. Which of the following
shows the structure of the whole text?
“overweight”？
52. The author writes the
passage to ______________
A. show people a
social problem
C. advise solutions to a
problem
53. The underlined word
A. various
B. provide facts for government
D. compare
opinions with people
“diversifiedn the first
paragraph most probably means ________. ” i

BEIJING—Family planning officers will handle
the illegal birth case of film director Zhang
Yimou by
following legal procedures, a
government spokesman said on Tuesday, December 10,
2013.
When asked to comment on Zhang’s case at
a press conference, Yao Hongwen, spokesman for the
National Health and Family Planning
Commission(NHFPC), said “Every citizen is equal
before the law
and nobody is allowed to have
privileges（特权）to give birth to more children than
allowed.
Yao’comment came after media stories
claimed that Zhang had remarried and fathered a
total of s
seven children: one with his former
wife, three with his present wife, Chen Ting, and
another three
from two lovers.
“The
NHFPC’ｓattitude towards citizensbirth

Chinese citizen should obey and safeguard the
seriousness of laws and
”
”
spokesman Yao Hongwen said.
China’famis ly planning policy, introduced in
the late 1970s to slow down the country’growing s
population, limits most urban couples to one
child and most rural couples to two. The policy
was
recently relaxed, allowing couples to have
two children if one of them is an only child.
Those who break the policy face severe fines.
The amount of the fine is generally several times
the
yearly annual income of the two
spouses（配偶）. Some media calculations put the fine
that Zhang
may face at as much as 160 million
yuan(over $$26 million).
Zhang’s birth case has
caused criticism online about famous people who
have more children than
the policy allows.
In an open letter on December 1, Zhang
admitted that the couple has two sons and daughter
and
they are willing to accept investigation
and punishment according to China
He apologized
to the public.
However, the letter denied that
Zhang had lovers and was father to as many as
seven children from
various mothers.
Zhang, one of the “fifth generation” of
Chinese filmmakers, made his first directorial
work in 1987
’s laws and regulations
with
“Red Sorghum” and has won a number of award
worldwide. He was chief director of the
opening and closing ceremonies of the Beijing
Olympic Games.
54. The purpose of the news
report is to ______________
A. claim that
Zhang Yimou remarried and fathered a total of
seven children
B. inform us that Zhang’s
illegal birth case will be dealt with by the
government
C. convince us that Zhang is a
famous director and his case will be pardoned
D. confirm that Zhang’s illegal birth case has
resulted in lots of criticism online

statements is true?
A. Every Chinese citizen
should obey and safeguard laws and regulations.
B. Few people have the privileges to give
birth to more children than allowed.
C.
China’s family planning policy has never been
relaxed since introduced.

fined as much as 160 million yuan for his
violations.
