　 Every country has its heroes. The heroes are the people the nation and especially the young people admire. If you get a list of the heroes of a nation, it will tell you the poten?tial (潜力) of that nation.

　 Today in America, if you ask the high school students to list their heroes, their choice would probably fall into three groups. The first group of heroes would be the rock stars ?the people connected with rock music. There is no doubt that such people do have talent (天才) but one wonders if one should hold up rock stars as a model. The rock stars too of?ten are mixed with drugs and their personal life is not all that good. The rock stars are rich and wear the latest fashion styles. However, one should seek (寻觅)more in a hero than such things as money and good clothes.

　 A second type of hero for the American youth is the sports star. Again you have a person who has a great ability in one area---sports. However, too often the personal life of the sports star is a bit of a disorder (混乱). Too frequently (频繁)drugs and drinking are a part of life of the sports star.

　 A third type of hero is the TV or movie star. This person may have lots of acting tal?ent and is quite handsome. However, the personal life of too many actors is quite sad and they should not be held up as a model of young people. Today, the rock star, the athlete, and the actor all have become the models of the youth in America. Really, do you hear a young person say that his hero is a doctor, a teacher, or a scientist? These people are not rich and do not wear fashionable clothes. However, they are talented people who work hard to make the world a better place for everyone.

　　　 What is really sad is that the young try to imitate their heroes. They like to wear the same clothes and follow their styles. If the heroes of today for the American young people are limited only to rock stars, athletes and actors, the future does not look too bright.　　 ?

（）42. From the passage, we know that the heroes the American youth admire are those _________.

A. who are not bright but are good -looking.

B. who are rich but are strict with themselves.

C. who are talented in some area but lead an improper life.

D. who are perfect in all areas

（）43. It can be inferred (推断) that the American young people will not admire 　

A. a university professor　　　　　　　　　　　　 B. a poplar singer

C. a football player D. a film actress

（）44. According to the writer, people should admire those _________.

A. who are rich and wear the latest fashion clothes

B. who can express people’s feelings

C. whose personal life is good

D. who work in the interests of the people

（）45. What does the underlined word “imitate” mean in Chinese in the passage?

A. 喜爱　　　　　　　 B. 模仿　　　　　　 C.崇拜　　　　　　 D. 迷恋
