B

When I was 13，my bedroom walls were covered with posters of the Monkees and the Beatles.I wrote fan letters and daydreamed about meeting the objects of my affections.I begged my parents to attend every rock concert and watch every TV show featuring my favorite celebrities(名人)；my friends and I discussed for hours all the things we would say and do when we met our favorite movie stars and pop singers.I drove my mother crazy！But after a few years，my obsession(迷恋) with stars faded as I matured and gained the confidence to socialize with “real” boys.

In the 35 years since I was a teenager，celebrity worship(崇拜) has increased among teens due to the explosion of television celebrity gossip shows，and instant access to celebrity news on the Internet.It's no wonder that many teens are obsessed with stars when news programs often are filled with entertainment stories and the lives of celebrities.

Celebrity worship syndrome(综合征) is now considered a personality disorder.While it is normal for teenagers to follow the lives of their favorite stars，parents should try to monitor everything their child finds interesting.Parents should take action if they suspect a teen is too obsessed with celebrities and showing little interest in school or withdrawing from the family.When teens talk a lot about celebrities and view them as just means of entertainment，this is considered normal celebrity worship.However，when a teenager is obsessed with a star and often expresses a desire to have a close personal relationship with a celebrity or feels they have a special connection to a star，this may be the time for concern.Recent studies have shown that teens who develop an unhealthy obsession with celebrities often suffer from low selfconfidence and depression.Teens who are overly obsessed with stars often have damaged relationships with their parents.

【解析】 青少年崇拜名人无可厚非，可是过度地迷恋明星就是名人崇拜综合征，是一种病态人格，其负面作用不可不引起父母的关注。

【1】推理判断题。由第一段内容可知，作者在青少年时期曾经十分迷恋名人，几年过后，随着自己逐渐变得成熟和自信心的增强，他对明星的迷恋渐渐消失，由此可推知作者在第一段通过自己的经历想告诉我们对青少年而言，名人崇拜是正常的事情。

【2】推理判断题。本段提到青少年之所以对名人越来越崇拜是因为受电视节目和因特网的影响，由此可推断媒体是造成当今名人崇拜的重要原因之一。

【3】细节理解题。根据最后一段中的“However，when a teenager...this may be the time for concern.”可知，当孩子渴望与他们最喜欢的明星有密切的私人关系时，父母就应该关注了。

【4】推理判断题。最后一段的第一句提到名人崇拜综合征现在被认为是病态人格；最后两句提到不健康的名人迷恋会导致自信心降低和心理压抑，甚至破坏孩子与父母之间的关系，由此可推断如果忽视名人崇拜综合征可能引发严重的问题。

【5】文章结构题。文章最后阐述的是名人崇拜综合征的种种危害，所以接下来最可能叙述的是如何应对这种病症。
