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.
From the last paragraph we know that a pop singer ______.
选项 A、can relax only after he is successful
B、must pay much attention to his clothes
C、can enjoy his life at will
D、is often annoyed by his fans
答案B
解析 从题干关键词a pop singer可定位到最后一段倒数第三句话，“一个流行歌手要花。许多钱买衣服，使自己显得别出心裁，与众不同”，因此选[B] 。一个歌手并不是成功后就能放松，只有一人独处时才能感到彻底轻松，因此排除[A] ；他也不能随心所欲地享受生活，因为处处有歌迷和记者的监视，因此排除[C] ；歌迷的行为有时会让歌手生气，但并不是经常如此，因此排除 [D] 。
