I recently came in contact with celebrity magazines. My family isn’t one to give money for pictures of skinny, drunk celebrities with paragraphs about their relationships and shopping cart times. Thus, I was excited to finally get a chance to read about other people’s attractive yet troubled lives.

Right away I noticed how each magazine seemed to be a copy of the other. They had headlines and pictures that were almost the same. Still, the pictures of perfectly constructed faces with cute designers outfits going on with their daily lives made me read on..

Wait, celebrities taking their dogs for walk? Spending an afternoon at a park? All of these things seemed so ordinary---things my own family and I do together often. I suddenly realized how unextraordinary the people in these magazines were. They are simply normal people who happen to have a cool job and much money. For some reason, pictures of them doing things like buying milk at the store appeal to millions of readers. Then, when these regular people mess up, their mistakes is painted onto hundreds of newspapers and internet sites.

What if every time we made a mistake, it was made public? Have you ever failed a test? Imagine seeing pictures of you on the front of a newspaper with headlines like, “Regular Schooling Isn’t Enough”. You’d be embarrassed. Now, I’m not necessarily taking the celebrity’s side. I’m more realizing the fact that these people we were crazy about are just ordinary human beings with many photographs following them around. Role models? I’d think not. Personally, I’d rather look up to people in any community who have accomplished a lot instead of an ordinary person walking his dog in Berverly Hills.

1.What do we know about the author’s family?

A. They admire celebrities very much.

B. They often buy celebrity magazines.

C. They are not interested in celebrities.

D. They are curious about the life of celebrities.

2.What does the author think of celebrities?

A. They live happy life.

B. They seldom do usual things.

C. They deserve people’s admiration.

D. They are just ordinary people like us.

3.Who is most likely to be the author’s role model?

A. Celebrities who live ordinary live.

B. Common people who do great things.

C. Extraordinary people who accomplish a lot.

D. People who make great contributions to communities.

4.What is the author’s purpose in writing the text?

A. To describe the actual life of celebrities.

B. To ask us to be realistic about other’s mistakes.

C. To show people’s different attitudes towards celebrities.

There is an old saying----“The only good snake is a dead snake“  I disagree .I know some people like their smooth pets,but I hate them. I shake from head to foot even whenI see them on TV

One day I stepped over one in my front yard,, and I probably set a record for the fastest runner and the loudest screamer in my town. And I almost had a heart attack when I walked through my house that night after I saw the snake. For that my husband received a serious warning about leaving his belt on the floor. So you can imagine my response when I saw the news about the lost 8-foot long cobra of a zoo in the Orlando area where I had lived a few weeks ago and it still frightened me . After days of search, they gave up. Then a few days ago, I read about its return. A young lady went out to the car in her garage. There she heard hissing coming from under the car. She immediately called the officers at Animal Control. You guessed it. An 8--foot king cobra was hanging out under the car. It was frightening.

We might not have a king cobra hanging out around us, but maybe a snake is hiding around to see how it can damage us. We need to keep our guard up. I think if the young lady had kept her garage door shut, the king cobra might not have made it to the garage.

1.What almost caused the author to get a heart attack?
