Passage Three
In Hollywood. everybody wants to be rich, famous and beautiful. Nobody wants to be old, unknown and poor. (32)For Hollywood kids, life can be difficult because they grow up in such an unreal atmosphere. Their parents are ambitious and the children are part of the parents' ambitions. Parents pay for wasteful grand parties, expensive cars and designer clothes. (33)When every dream can come true, kids don't learn the value of anything because they have everything. A thirteen-year-old boy, Trent Maguire, has a driver, credit cards and unlimited cash to do what he wants when he wants to. "One day. I'll earn more than my dad!" he boasts. (34)Parents buy care and attention for their children because they
have no time to give it themselves. Amender's mother employs a personal trainer, a bodyguard, a singing coach and a councilor to look after all her fifteen-year-old daughter's needs. Often, there is no parent at home most days, so children decide whether to make their own meals or go out to restaurants, when to watch television or do homework. They organize their own social lives. They play no childhood games. They become adults before they're ready. Hollywood has always been the city of dreams. (35) The kids there live unreal lives where money, beauty and pleasure are the only gods. Will children around the world soon start to think the same? Or do they already?

34.D)
Why does Amender's mother employ other people to look after her needs?
[听前猜测] 选项均为she的目的与企图,所以重点把握问题中she指代的是准。
[精解] 细节判断题。文中提到Amender的母亲花重金雇佣别人来照顾自己的孩子,其原因不是对孩子特别照顾,而是她无暇顾及,作者还是通过例子来证明自己的观点:Parents buy care and attention for their children because they have no time to give it themselves.。
35.B)
What will probably have negative effects on the lives of Hollywood kids?
[听前猜测] 选项均为名词短语,并且出现了Hollywood, worship等词,注意把握问题。
[精解] 该题考查对好莱坞儿童的生活产生负面影响的因素,联系以上几个题目,尽管他们的生活非常奢华,无所不有,但是文章最后提到:The kids there live unreal fives where money, beauty and pleasure are the only gods.,这种环境自然导致孩子产生了拜金主义思想,B)与此相符。
