Does Being Famous 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 (狗仔队) camp outside their homes, cameras ready. Tabloids (小报) publish thrilling stories about their privacy. Just imagine not being able to do anything without being photographed or interrupted for a signature!
According to psychologist Christina Villarreal, celebrities — famous people — worry constantly about their public appearance. In the end, 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,” Villarreal says, “they feel separated and alone.”
The phenomenon of following 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(正义). Still, even stars who enjoy full justice often complain about how hard their lives are. They are tired of being famous already.

(答案→)C 解析:文章大意:文章讲述的是成名给名人们的生活带来的影响,以及处理这些问题的方法,并依此引发读者思考。【小题1】推理题:根据第一段的“They are at the center of much of the world’s attention. Paparazzi (狗仔队) camp outside their homes, cameras ready. Tabloids (小报) publish thrilling stories about their personal lives”他们是全世界关注的焦点,狗仔队在他们家外面扎营,小报上到处都是关于他们私人生活的惊悚故事。可知,他们的生活完全被媒体多报道,生活中的隐私已经处于了没有任何保护的状态了。故选择C.【小题2】段落大意题:根据第三段的中心句,即第一句“The phenomenon of tracking celebrities has been around for ages”可知,该段落主要讲的是追踪名人已经有了很久的历史了。即A选项【小题3】细节题:根据第四段的“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”可知,他们做任何事情都会被现代照相机、英特网等当代媒体捕捉到,因此,这些现代媒体让今天的人成为名人不容易。选D【小题4】作者态度题:通读全文可知,作者介绍了很多名人受成名所累,失去了生活的隐私,失去了自我,变得孤独、变得被世界隔离,因此可以推断出作者对他们抱有支持的态度。即选择C
