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.
A pop singer must work hard when he has become famous to ______.
选项
A、attract the public
B、remain popular
C、sell more records
D、earn more money
答案
B
解析
根据题干work hard when he has become famous可定位到第二段第一句和最后一句话,re main popular是原文stay popular同义转述,因此选[B] 。find a new way of singing that will attract their attention指歌手找到一种新的唱法来吸引听众的注意力,并非说歌手勤奋就能吸引听众,卖更多的唱片,或是挣更多钱,故排除[A] 、[C] 、[D] 。
