27、As we know, many teen celebrities(名人) feel and think that having a slimmer figure can do great good to them. But, does size really matter? Are teenage fans trying hard to become like their celebrity idols(偶像)? Do celebrities really have the power to influence people, especially teenagers?
For the longest time, many parents blame teen idols for influencing the way their kids act. Have you noticed how teens idolize the celebrities these days? Even, their personal affairs are being followed by kids these days. Take for example the case of Lindsay Lohan of Mary Kate Ashley. They are definitely famous teen stars. But, since they are trying to project an image to satisfy a lot of people in show business, their health and body suffer. Many kids are aware of this problem. But they are easily influenced by these celebrities to exercise and eat less.
It is a fact that the media, and especially famous teen celebrities, can influence people powerfully. But teenagers are easily influenced because teenage years are the period when our personality and identity developments take place. Teens watching TV shows and reading magazines are easily pulled into the dieting and harmful eating habits because the media have some ways to pull these acts. They use thin models and celebrities to endorse(做广告宣传) products or to star in an up-and –coming shows or movies. With fierce competition, celebrities are forced to eat less and do extreme exercise routines to get the roles or offers that come their way.
Living in today’s time and generation is a bit disturbing to a lot of parents. Media, especially as well as the celebrities, have a very powerful influence to drive teenagers to good or bad. It’s good that we can control ourselves to avoid bad things from happening. If not, parents should really be aware and guide their teens to determine what’s in ad what’s out.

29、A parent posted on Reddit last week that her son’s school is now “zero waste”. In order to save money on the trash(垃圾) service, school leaders have taken away the trash cans. She wrote, “They are not taking any other method to reduce waste; they are just preventing the children from using the trash can. All their lunch waste must go home with them in their lunch box.”
Reactions were quick and fierce, with 333 people commenting on the thread that is now closed. Some supported the original(最初的) poster, saying they’d tell their kids to throw the trash on the floor if trash cans weren’t provided. Most, however, challenged the parent's perspective, telling her that this isn't a bad thing and sharing their own experiences of schools and day camps that have been zero waste for years.
One advised, “Get a lunch bag and then pack small bread sticks, cut fruits, pasta salads etc and then use a reusable bag for sandwiches.”
Another said, “My kid's school is zero waste. Always has been. They bring their lunch waste home. It's never been a thing. If anything, it makes me a bit more mindful of how school lunches are packed.”
My children's school has always told us to pack waste—free lunches, but trash cans are still being used. I do think, though, that their presence is a crutch(拐杖) of sorts. Until we are truly forced to fight with the waste produced by our habits, we won't be active to change them.
By forcing kids to take their trash home, the school is not creating a real problem for kids and parents, just an inconvenience, because they all have trash cans at home. But the movement does need to start from the bottom, perhaps within individual classrooms at first, before being put upon tired, overworked parents.
【1】How did the parent feel when writing the post?
A．Confused.
B．Angry.
C．Satisfied.
D．Hopeful.
【2】What does the underlined word “perspective” in paragraph 2 probably mean?
A．Patience.
B．Behavior.
C．Opinion.
D．Intelligence
【3】What advice is mentioned in the passage?
A．Taking the right amount of food.
B．Sharing the lunch with other students.
C．Thinking of good ways to pack the lunch.
D．Encouraging children to eat up the lunch.
【4】Why does the author think of the trash cans as a crutch?
A．People can't live without trash cans.
B．They are of great use in our daily life.
C．They help people develop a zero—waste lifestyle.
D．Their presence allows the possibility of wasting.
