问题    The entertainment profession, or" show business", attracts many young people. Unfortunately, only very few can hope to become famous and successful. Talent is not enough, because show business is as competitive as any other business. Without a good manager, the performer can never hope to succeed. Fashion is important in this business too. The best tailor in the world will never be a success if he makes old fashioned clothes. In exactly the same way, a performer must change his "act" in order to follow the taste of the moment. This is true for actors, dancers and comedians, but perhaps most of all for singers.
   "Pop" stands for "popular", and a pop singer has to work very hard to ’become popular. He must either give the public what they already want or he must find a new way of singing that will attract their attention. Even when he has succeeded ,his records are sold everywhere, he cannot relax. Then he must work harder than ever to stay popular, because there are always younger singers trying to become famous and to steal some of the popularity.
   The life of a successful pop singer is not all easy. He can only relax when he is alone, because every thing he does is watched and reported in the special newspaper written for the "fans". The fans are the most important people in the world for the singer. They buy his records, they go to his concerts, and they make him rich and famous. But they can be very annoying, too. Sometimes their enthusiasm goes out of control that they do anything to get something from you for memory. They steal handkerchiefs, they tear off buttons, and they even cut off piece of the unfortunate singer’s hair. Many singers have been stripped practically naked by their fans. A pop singer has to spend a lot of money on clothes, because he must always look smart, or, at any rate, different. He must have a luxurious car. And   most important -- he must always keep smiling for the benefit of his public.
It can be inferred that the fans’ over-enthusiastic behaviors sometimes ______.
选项 A、express their dislike for the singers
B、make the singers more popular
C、show their likes and respect to the singers
D、make practical jokes on the singers
答案C
解析 本题考查的是对歌迷们这种过分热情的内在动机的推理和判断，根据题干关键词 fans’over-enthusiastic可定位到最后一段的第六句话，这句话的后半部分they do anything to get something from you for memory，他们(指歌迷们)会不择手段地从你(指歌手)身上得到一点东西作为纪念物，而只有当歌迷们喜欢某人或者尊重某人时才会向他索取物品作为纪念，因此选 [C] 。[A] 与文意相反；歌迷疯狂的热情不一定能使歌手更受欢迎，两者并没有必然的联系，故排除[B] ；[D] 文中未提及。
