阅读下列短文,从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中选出最佳选项。
Celebrities(名人) have become a powerful influence on some people because of their social position and their economic situation.
First,some people admire and imitate stars because they allow themselves to be influenced by the media. Television,radio,and magazines invade(侵扰) the lives of audience with a variety of shows,information,and publications about stars and their lives. For instance,Britney Spears has become the target of paparazzi(狗仔队).In May,Britney appeared at the front page of the most popular magazines revealing that she married her best friend in Vegas,Nevada. Media also invade stars' lives because reporters know they get high profits from readers who buy and follow their favorite artists' news.
Second,some mad audience imitate their celebrities for their lack of confidence. Some people who are shy and lack personality may find that imitating others will cause a good impression. For instance,my cousin Jenny,who lacks a social life because of her introverted(内向的) personality,believes that acting and dressing like Jennifer Lopez will make her popular in high school.
Finally,several fans of stars imitate them because of peer(同龄人) pressure. Since my niece's girlfriends formed an Antonio Banderas' fan club,she had also joined the group. Although she wasn't a huge fan of his,now she collects most of Banderas' possessions. In fact,when I asked Arianna,my niece,why she was part of Banderas' fan club,she replied with a doubtful tone that she did not wish to be rejected by the other teens.
In conclusion,it is true that celebrities play spectacular roles in their performances in Hollywood,which entertains many people all over the world;however,modern celebrities influence the audience to the point where their fans admire and try to imitate their lives.
