Does Fame Drive You Crazy?
Although being famous might sound like a dream come true,today’s stars,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 personal lives.Just imagine not being able to do anything without being photographed or interrupted for a signature.

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 tracking celebrities has been around for ages.In the 4 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 19 century,his sold-out readings attracted thousands of fans,leading him to complain(抱怨) 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.

语篇解读:本文为一篇议论文,谈论了作为名人的窘境:头上罩着耀眼的光环,心底却埋藏着难言的苦衷,这就是公众人物的生活。
答案及剖析:1.B 推理判断题。第一段的后半部分提到狗仔队驻扎在明星家附近伺机拍摄,小报散布有关他们私生活的耸人听闻的消息,还有无处不在的拍录和签名,由此可推测如今的明星毫无隐私可言。故B项正确。
2.B 段落大意题。本段的第一句是主题句,根据本句的内容可知,名人所面临的问题由来已久。故B项正确。
3.A 推理判断题。第四段的开头部分提到如今做一名公众人物比以往更加困难,再结合本段中的“modern cameras”和“the Internet”可知,之所以这样是因为现代化媒体在推波助澜。故选A项。
4.D 作者态度题。结合第一段中的“today’s stars,feeling like zoo animals,face pressures that few of us can imagine”以及最后一段后两句中的内容可知,作者对现代名人满怀“同情”。 【长难句子分析】
