People think what I do is so wonderful because I interview stars. And I have to admit that when I first started working at Sassy in 1987 I was excited about that part of my job for the first couple of months，anyway. Then I noticed how stars would fool me around for months. I could never get enough time with a star to find out anything interesting, and some acted just simply rudely. I started hating the way I was treated, and I was really disappointed to see that these people I had worshipped (崇拜）before were pretty ordinary. So I decided I would just tell the truth instead of keeping up their myths(神秘）.If the star was a bad guy, I would say so. If I thought anyone was stupid, I did not hold back that information.
I thought readers would appreciate that kind of honesty. Surprisingly, many of them hated me for it. I have gotten so many attacks on my character. In their eyes，being famous is everything, even more desirable than being truly creative and talented
Why do we need stars? In fact, the media created stars to satisfy our basic need for gossip (闲话）.Over time, talking about people we have never met and we are never likely to meet has bee what we are crazy about. Thus, some people are more interested in the personal lives of the stars than in the lives of their own family and their own friends. That is why it is so ridiculous when a star wants to discuss only his or her work in an interview -as we care. We want the dirt on their personal lives.
There is another reason we worship stars. As a whole, our society is not as religious as it once was. It seems that people need something to fulfill them the way religion once did. Star worship exists as an unfulfilling desire for true heroes.
We make them stars, but then their reputation makes us feel unimportant, and we truly feel better about ourselves when they die. I am part of this whole process. No wonder I feel soiled at the end of workday.

解析：文章介绍了作者在当娱乐记者时总是报道明星的真实生活和性情，却遭到了读者们的厌恶。作者分析了人们需要明星的原因有两个，一是媒体创造明星是为了满足人们的八卦需求，二是明星崇拜的存在是因为对真正英雄的空虚渴望，提醒人们不要盲目崇拜明星。
【小题1】细节题：根据第一段中“I was really disappointed to see that these people I had worshipped (崇拜）before were pretty ordinary”我真的很失望的看到那些以前我崇拜的人其实很普通。故选C。
【小题2】细节题：根据第三段最后一句“Star worship exists as an unfulfilling desire for true heroes.”明星崇拜的存在是因为对真正英雄的空虚渴望。故选A。
