1．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.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.Besides，it can be difficult for them to adapt back to a normal everyday life.
（3）They are not satisfied with 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.This quick way of gaining wealth and fame creates a celebrity culture among people. （4）
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.They don't value talents anymore.
B.Nowadays the younger generation prefer excitement.
C.The younger generation don't favor these professions any more.
D.Unfortunately，they do not always have a positive effect on people's life.
E.The reason is that they don't realize it takes talent and hard work to be rich and famous.
F.Even so，there is greater ambition than ever among young people to achieve that status.
G.They unrealistically believe that this lifestyle is easily obtained and leads to great satisfaction.發(fā)布：2024/8/17 0:0:1組卷：26引用：3難度：0.6 -
2．What is a Food Critic A food critic is a writer who specializes in writing criticisms of food.Like theater and movie critics，food critics are supposed to provide thoughtful，well-informed，and objective information to the public so that members of the public can make decisions about where to spend their money. （1）
However some may also engage in more general food writing.
Becoming a food critic takes time.Many food critics pursue professional experiences in the world of food，attending culinary schools，working in restaurants，participating in farming，and so forth. （2）A good food critic is extremely knowledgeable about food，from how certain foods are harvested to the history of various dishes.Food critics also have very well-developed palates，and they may specialize in a particular area.
（3）Food critics may move between publishers over the course of their careers，or start working for the food section of a paper and working up to a position as a food critic.A handful of critics become well known and well respected，with most primarily being known only in the area they serve.
Professional integrity is very important for food critics.Many make reservations and visit restaurants anonymously，so that they get an idea of how a restaurant serves ordinary customers.They also make repeat visits so that they can make fair and balanced assessments of a restaurant and its offerings. （4）Implications of favoritism or bribery can ruin the reputation of a food critic.
This is what food critics are like.They describe and evaluate the food，providing opinions on its quality. （5）These can be used as a reference for readers to make decisions.
A.Food critics have the right to score the restaurant.
B.It's important for them to be familiar with varieties of food.
C.Avoidance of gifts from restaurateurs is also very important.
D.Therefore，they can learn about every aspect of the food industry.
E.After considering all aspects of the dining experience，they generate ratings.
F.Food critics primarily write about restaurants from fast food establishments to fancy restaurants.
