M: Not really. I want to get him something he will be able to use instead of something he'lI just put into the closet.

听力原文：Torn: Hi, Mary. Do you like music？

Mary: Yes, very much, especially classical music.

Tom: Yes, I do. You know rock stars play exciting music and they always wear unusual clothes. I often go to their concerts.

Mary: Oh, do you？ I don't understand why rock stars are so famous？

Tom: Oh, it's because of their fans that rock stars are famous and earn a lot of money. You know their fans go to their concerts, buy their records and wear the same kind of clothes.

Mary: I see. Did you watch TV last night？

Tom: No, I didn't. I went to a concert last night and got back home very late. What was on？

Mary: Zed Hawks was interviewed on TV last night.

Tom: Really, he is one of my favorite stars. He is world famous and he is also very rich. At least I suppose so. He has given concerts in twelve countries and sold over twenty million records.

Mary: Yes, you are right. He owns three magnificent houses, five cars and a private plane too.

Tom: What did he say on the TV interview？

Mary: He didn't say anything. During the TV interview Anita Lyons suggested that Zed should behave better because his fans imitate him.

Tom: Yes, go on.

Mary: He reacted very angrily, and walked out. The interview lasted less than two minutes. I was disappointed when I heard this. He really behaved badly. You know like politicians and film stars, rock stars need the public. They earn their money from the public. So why shouldn't the public criticize them？ I'm not saying that famous people should always behave well. What I'm saying is that they shouldn't complain when they are criticized. If they do, they will lose their fans. I'm not a fan of Zed Hawks any more.

How do fans imitate rock stars？

A．They play music.

B．They behave badly.

C．They wear the same kind of clothes.

D．They go to their concerts.

M: I haven't tried those. What are they？

W: (22)They're groups of people who are also looking for work. They help each other discover new opportunities

M: That sounds great! I'll definitely try some of those.

W: I'm glad to hear that. So, what are you doing here？
