25、tars are transported in their chauffeur driven Rolls-Royces,private helicopters or executive aeroplanes.Photographs of them appear regularly in the press and all their comings and goings are reported,for,like royalty,pop stars are news.If they enjoy many of the privileges of royalty,they certainly s
26、hare many of the inconveniences as well.It is dangerous for them to make unscheduled appearances in public.They must be constantly shielded from the adoring crowds which idolize them.They are no longer private individuals,but public property.The financial rewards they receive for this sacrifice cann

28、its top entertainers lavishly.The great days of Hollywood have become legendary:famous stars enjoyed fame,wealth and adulation on an unprecedented scale.By todays standards,the excesses of Hollywood do not seem quite so spectacular.A single gramophone record nowadays may earn much more in royalties
29、than the films of the past ever did.The competition for the title Top of the Pops is fierce,but the rewards are truly colossal.It is only right that the stars should be paid in this way.Dont the top men in industry earn enormous salaries for the services they perform to their companies and their cou
30、ntries?Pop stars earn vast sums in foreign currencyoften more than large industrial concernsand the taxman can only be grateful for their massive annual contributions to the exchequer.So who would begrudge them their rewards?3.There are 2 passages in this part.Each passage is followed by some questi

32、 iceberg.For every famous star,there are hundreds of others struggling to earn a living.A man working in a steady job and looking forward to a pension at the end of it has no right to expect very high rewards.He has chosen security and peace of mind,so there will always be a limit to what he can ear
33、n.But a man who attempts to become a star is taking enormous risks.He knows at the outset that only a handful of competitors ever get to the very top.He knows that years of concentrated effort may be rewarded with complete failure.But he knows,too,that the rewards for success are very high indeed:th

40、e in Britain have mostly been people who won property or land,who are involved in certain industries or business,or who have inherited money.But the list of thousand richest people in Britain,published every year since 1989 by the Sunday Times newspaper,shows that this has started to change.In 1949
41、the ten richest people in Britain were either involved in brewing of whisky,land and property,tobacco,or banking.In 1999 the ten richest were in food packaging,retailing,finance and banking,land and property,and travel and entertainment.Banking and finance as well as ownership of land and property a
42、re obviously still good sources of wealth.A problem facing many people who own large houses is that they have to spend a lot of money keeping them in the good condition.Also,even though the value of property has increased over the years,the value of land has not,so some landowners are not as well of
43、f as they were.3.There are 2 passages in this part.Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements.For each of them there are four choices marked A),B),C)and D).You should decide on the best choice.The fact that travel and entertainment were the source of wealth of one of 1999s t
44、op ten is due to Richard Branson,founder of Virgin empire.In 1969,when he was 19,he started a mail-order record business.He now has an extremely successful and popular airline and many other businesses.By 1992 he was wealthy enough to come 9th in the Rich List,though he has not appeared in the top t
45、en every year since then.Many of the people who feature in the top thousand nowadays are self-made millionaires who have made their money from computers and the Internet,technology,and entertainment.In fact,in 1999,709 of the richest thousand were self-made millionaires like Richard Branson;the rest
46、 291 had inherited their wealth.3.There are 2 passages in this part.Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements.For each of them there are four choices marked A),B),C)and D).You should decide on the best choice.But there is also another source of new wealth in Britain.The win
47、ners of the National Lottery experience instant wealth for very little effort.The National Lottery started in November 1994;since then several people have become millionaires and a few have won over 15 million pounds.This is a lot of money,though it is likely to be some years before and the Lottery
