Amy: a Considerate Woman 参考答案1-4 BCDA Celebrity(名人) has become one of the most important representatives of popular culture. Fans used to be crazy about a specific film, but now the public tends to base its consumption(消费) on the interest of celebrity attached to any given product. Besides, fashion magazines have almost abandoned the practice of putting models on the cover because they dont sell nearly as well as famous faces. As a result, celebrities have realized their unbelievably powerful market potential, moving from advertising for others products to developing their own. Celebrity clothing lines arent a completely new phenomenon, but in the past they were typically aimed at the ordinary consumers, and limited to a few TV actresses. Today theyre started by first-class stars whose products enjoy equal fame with some world top brands. The most successful start-ups have been those by celebrities with specific personal style. As celebrities become more and more experienced at the market, they expand their production scale rapidly, covering almost all the products of daily life. However, for every success story, theres a related warning tale of a celebrity who overvalued his consumer appeal. No matter how famous the products origin is, if it fails to impress consumers with its own qualities it begins to resemble an exercise in self-promotional marketing. And once the initial(最初的) attention dies down, consumer interest might fade, loyalty(忠诚) returning to tried-and-true labels. Today, celebrities face even more severe embarrassment. The pop-cultural circle might be bigger than ever, but its rate of turnover has speeded up as well. Each misstep threatens to reduce a celebritys shelf life, and the same newspaper or magazine that once brought him fame has no problem picking him to pieces when the opportunity appears. Still, the egos (自我的) potential for expansion is limitless. Having already achieved great wealth and public recognition, many celebrities see fashion as the next frontier to the conquered. As the saying goes, success and failure always go hand in hand. Their success as designers might last only a short time, but fashionlike celebrityhas always been temporary. 1. Fashion magazines today.A. seldom put models on the coverB. no longer put models on the coverC. need not worry about celebrities market potentialD. judge the market potential of every celebrity correctly2.

What can we do?Here are some steps you can take.Cooling puts the greatest stress on your summer energy bill and the power grid (电网). Just as a tune-up for your car can improve your gas mileage,a yearly tune-up of your heating and cooling system can improve efficiency and comfort. Clean or replace filter monthly or as needed.For central air conditioning systems and room air conditioners,look for the ENERGY STAR,the federal governments symbol for energy efficiency. For central air,purchase the system with the highest possible Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratia(SEER).Use energy-efficient ceiling fans either alone or with air conditioning. Ceiling fans do a great job of circulating air. When used with air conditioning,fans allow you to raise the thermostat (恒温器)and cut costs. Ceiling fans cool people,not rooms,so before you leave,turn off the ceiling fan.Let a programmable thermostat “remember for you” to automatically adjust the indoor climate with your daily and weekend patterns to reduce cooling bills by up to 10 percent. You can come home to a comfortable house without wasting energy and creating pollution all day while you are at work.Try to make your home airtight enough to increase your comfort,make your home quieter and cleaner and reduce your cooling costs up to 20 percent.Cut your air conditioning load,and reduce pollution by planting leafy trees around your home and fixing reflective bricks on your roof.Close blinds or shades on south-and west-facing windows during the day,or fix shading equipment to avoid heat build-up.Turn off everything not in use:lights,TVs,computers. And use fluorescent bulbs (荧光灯),which provide bright,warm light while using at least two-thirds less energy,producing 70 percent less beat and lasting up to 10 times longer than incandescent bulbs (白炽灯).Drive the car that gets better gas mileage whenever possible if you own more than one vehicle. If you drive 12,500 miles a year,switching 10 percent of your trips from a car that gets 20 miles per gallon to one that gets 30 mpg will save you more than $65 per year.Carpool. The average U. S. commuter (乘车上班族) could save about $260 a year by sharing cars twice a week with two other people in a car that gets 20. 1 mpgassuming the three passengers share the cost of gas.1.
