Does Fame Drive You Crazy?

Although being famous might sound like a dream come true, today's star, feeling like zoo animals, face pressures that few of us can imagine. They are at the center of much of the world's attention. Paparazzi (狗仔隊(duì)) camp outside their homes, cameras ready. Tabloids (小報(bào)) publish thrilling stories about their personal lives. Just imagine not being able to do anything without being photographed or interrupted for a signature.

According to psychologist Christina Villareal, celebrities—famous people—worry constantly about their public appearance. Eventually, they start to lose track of who they really are, seeing themselves the way their fans imagine them, not as the people they were before everyone knew their names. "Over time," Villareal says, "they feel separated and alone."

The phenomenon of tracking celebrities has been around for ages. In the 4th century B.C., painters followed Alexander the Great into battle, hoping to picture his victories for his admirers. When Charles Dickens visited America in the 19th century, his sold-out readings attracted thousands of fans, leading him to complain about his lack of privacy. Tabloids of the 1920s and 1930s ran articles about film-stars in much the same way that modern tabloids and websites do.

Being a public figure today, however, is a lot more difficult than it used to be. Superstars cannot move about without worrying about photographers with modern cameras. When they say something silly or do something ridiculous, there is always the Internet to spread the news in minutes and keep their "story" alive forever.

If fame is so troublesome, why aren't all celebrities running away from it? The answer is there are still ways to deal with it. Some stars stay calm by surrounding themselves with trusted friends and family or by escaping to remote places away from big cities. They focus not on how famous they are but on what they love to do or whatever made them famous in the first place.

Sometimes a few celebrities can get a little justice. Still, even stars who enjoy full justice often complain about how hard their lives are. They are tired of being famous already.

1.It can be learned from the passage that stars today ________.

A.are often misunderstood by the public B.care little about how they have come into fame

C.spend too much on their public appearance D.can no longer have their privacy protected

2.What is the main idea of Paragraph 3?

A.Great heroes of the past were generally admired.

B.Well-known actors are usually targets of tabloids.

C.The problem faced by celebrities has a long history.

D.Works of popular writers often have a lot of readers.

3.What makes it much harder to be a celebrity today?

A.Lack of favorable chances. B.Not enough social recognition.

C.Availability of modern media. D.Huge population of fans.

4.What is the author's attitude toward modern celebrity?

C.Disapproving. D.Unbelieving.

I used to work in a lab for almost 10 years. It was a well-paid job, and a “ not exactly ” exciting but safe job. Then everything changed in 1998 when my best friend introduced me to a man who wanted to open up a computer training school.

What did he want me to do?

Teach!

Me? Teach? Is he mad?

They knew I had a speech problem. I stuttered.

For me a simple sentence was going to take longer than it should. “Hello, how are you doing?” can take you 3 seconds, where it would take me 10 seconds. And someone asked me if I wanted to stand in front of strangers and speak about computer technology.

Then the most amazing thing happened

I said yes!

To this day I’m still not sure why I said yes. Maybe I didn’t want to live a “safe” life where I did the same thing every day, year after year.

I have always felt I know a better way to describe difficult concepts to listeners than a lot of other people. I'm good at explaining things when I write about it. So I took the class syllabus (教學(xué)大綱)and rewrote it MY WAY! I did all I could to make it easier to understand.

In my first class I got the familiar funny looks from people when I started speaking. But after 15 minutes, people were asking intelligent questions that showed they understood. At the end of the class when people were leaving, they shook my hand and thanked me.

You won't get THAT from a “not exactly exciting but safe job”!

1.The writer thought his job in the lab was .

A.well-paid and safe B.safe and exciting

C.safe and challenging D.well-paid but challenging

2.The writer uses the example of “Hello, how are you doing?” to show .

A.what his speech problem was B.his speech problem was gone

C.his speech problem got better D.how he fought his speech problem

3.As for the class syllabus, the writer .

A.deleted the difficult concepts in it B.couldn’t fully understand it first

C.wrote it again in his own way D.explained it to his friend first

4.The writer knew the students understood his class from their .

A.smiles B.questions C.funny looks D.thank-you letters

5.What's the best title for the passage?

A.My best friend B.My fantastic class

C.My speech problem D.My challenging choice
