Unit 4 Sharing一、閱讀理解。As is known to us all, many teen celebrities(名人) feel and think that having a slimmer figure can do great good to them. But, does size really matter? Are teenage fans trying hard to bee like their celebrity idols(偶像)? Do celebrities really have the power to influence people, especially teenagers? For the longest time, many parents blame teen idols for influencing the way their kids act. Have you noticed how teens idolize the celebrities these days? Even, their personal affairs are being followed by kids these days. Take for example the case of Lindsay Lohan and Mary Kate Ashley. They are definitely famous teen stars. But, since they are trying to project an image to satisfy a lot of people in show business, their health and body suffer. Many kids are aware of this problem. But they are easily influenced by these celebrities to exercise and eat less. It is a fact that the media, and especially famous teen celebrities, can influence people powerfully. But teenagers are easily influenced because teenage years are the period when our personality and identity developments take place. Teens watching TV shows and reading magazines are easily pulled into the dieting and harmful eating habits because the media have some ways to pull these acts. They use thin models and celebrities to endorse(做廣告宣傳) products or to star in an up-and-ing shows or movies. With fierce petition, celebrities are forced to eat less and do extreme exercise routines to get the roles or offers that e their way. Living in todays time and generation is a bit disturbing to a lot of parents. Media, especially as well as the celebrities, have a very powerful influence to drive teenagers to good or bad. Its good that we can control ourselves to avoid bad things from happening. If not, parents should really be aware and guide their teens to determine whats in and whats out. 【文章大意】本文主要講述青少年如何受偶像的影響以及偶像們也受青少年的影響這種社會(huì)現(xiàn)象, 以此警示家長們正確利用偶像對(duì)孩子們的影響。1.
