1. Read the text, choose the right answer according to the content of the text : Many people dream of being a film star.
Successful Hollywood stars often earn millions of dollars, and they can buy almost everything they want. They live in fantastic houses in places like Beverley Hills, and they wear expensive designer clothes. They drive the best cars in the world. They can have amazing holidays. They go to Hollywood parties and see their photos on the cover of magazines. To us it seems that they have everything. But are they really happy? The lives of Hollywood film stars aren’t as easy as we think. They are followed by the paparazzi wherever they go and we can read all about their private lives in newspapers .All this means that many film stars have found it difficult to lead a normal life. Marilyn Monroe- a famous film star in the 1950s- died in1962, only 36 and very unhappy. Not all film stars die young, of course, but they often have other problems. They have to look young and beautiful, and some of them spend thousands of dollars on cosmetic surgery. Many Hollywood marriages have failed –for example, Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman. But of course, we really don’t know if they are happy or not, do we?
