问题    The entertainment profession, or" show business", attracts many young people. Unfortunately, only very few can hope to become famous and successful. Talent is not enough, because show business is as competitive as any other business. Without a good manager, the performer can never hope to succeed. Fashion is important in this business too. The best tailor in the world will never be a success if he makes old fashioned clothes. In exactly the same way, a performer must change his "act" in order to follow the taste of the moment. This is true for actors, dancers and comedians, but perhaps most of all for singers.
   "Pop" stands for "popular", and a pop singer has to work very hard to ’become popular. He must either give the public what they already want or he must find a new way of singing that will attract their attention. Even when he has succeeded ,his records are sold everywhere, he cannot relax. Then he must work harder than ever to stay popular, because there are always younger singers trying to become famous and to steal some of the popularity.
   The life of a successful pop singer is not all easy. He can only relax when he is alone, because every thing he does is watched and reported in the special newspaper written for the "fans". The fans are the most important people in the world for the singer. They buy his records, they go to his concerts, and they make him rich and famous. But they can be very annoying, too. Sometimes their enthusiasm goes out of control that they do anything to get something from you for memory. They steal handkerchiefs, they tear off buttons, and they even cut off piece of the unfortunate singer’s hair. Many singers have been stripped practically naked by their fans. A pop singer has to spend a lot of money on clothes, because he must always look smart, or, at any rate, different. He must have a luxurious car. And   most important -- he must always keep smiling for the benefit of his public.
The example of "the tailor" is cited here to explain that ______.
选项 A、clothes that the tailor made is vital for performers’ success
B、performers have to change their performances to be popular
C、performers should do the same thing as a tailor does
D、performers can never succeed without the tailor
答案B
解析 根据题干tailor可定位到第一段的第六、七句话。裁缝的成功之道在于变化服装的风格与式样，以保持时尚；同理，演员要成功就要像裁缝那样以表演的变化来吸引观众。performance是act的同义转述，be popular是follow the taste of the moment的同义转述，因此选[B] 。此处引用裁缝的例子来说明演员要成功，应该采取与裁缝同样的策略和方式，那就是要赋予变化，迎合时尚，并非指演员没有裁缝做衣服，或是没有裁缝就无法成功，因此排除[A] 和[D] ；也不是指两者应干同样的活，因此排除[C] 。
