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 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 Villarreal, 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,” Villarreal 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.

A. are often misunderstood by the public

B. can no longer have their privacy protected

C. spend too much on their public appearance

D. care little about how they have come into fame

2.

A. Great heroes of the past were generally admired.

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

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

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

3.

A. Availability of modern media.

B. Inadequate social recognition.

C. Lack of favorable chances.

D. Huge population of fans.

4.

A. Sincere. B. Skeptical. C. Disapproving. D. Sympathetic.

I felt like I had clicked my heels three times and come to a country away from home every morning as I walked through the doors at the Embassy of Australia in Washington. Musical Aussie accents, and Aboriginal art exhibits made me wonder if I had entered without a visa. In fact I was a temporary employee, a public affairs unpaid intern(實(shí)習(xí)) for three months during the summer in order to engage myself in the culture of the country where I planned to study the next spring.

During the summer I read the Australian news every day. Working at the embassy allowed me to escape the U.S. for six hours per day and learn about what was going on across the planet. After reading the daily Australian and U.S. news I usually helped prepare a PowerPoint presentation for school kids who visited the embassy as part of a school activity. Depending on whether an embassy event was going on, I would attend weekly meetings to listen in on planning and see what I could do to help. Usually there were smaller tasks to be done such as creating visitors' guides.

The most fantastic event in which I participated was the visit of the Australian prime minister. As the only American among countless Australian media and staff, I felt comfortable and was kept busy taking pictures and recording door-stop interviews at famous sites such as the Capitol. But as an intern, you will not be inside, exposed to top-secret information, when it comes to special events.

Government work is a useful addition to one's experience. As an embassy employee you will gain invaluable knowledge while spending your summer in a culturally diverse workplace.

1.What is the author talking about?

A. Her embassy internship. B. Her trouble in finding a job.

C. Her foreign culture experience. D. Her preparation for future employment.

2.Why was the author in the Embassy of Australia for three months?

A. To apply for a visa. B. To prepare to study in Australia.

C. To record musical Aussie accents. D. To appreciate Aboriginal art exhibits.

3.What was the author forbidden to do when the Australian prime minister visited America?

A. Record door-stop interviews. B. Know top-secret information.

C. Take pictures of special events. D. Stand among the Australian staff.

4.What can we infer about her daily routine at the Embassy?

A. It is tiring. B. It is boring.

C. It is exciting. D. It is relaxing.

Thirteen years ago, my brother died. I was in sever sorrow. I remember putting one foot in front of the other—things needed to get done, tasks, completed—but feeling terribly empty inside. Four years later, I has still not gotten a job. My savings had run out.

In 2010, I began to think about rebuilding my life. When I was out walking my dog, Macarena, whom I had bought a year after my brother’s death, I had the feeling that if I could get control over my hair, I could get control over life.

My hair has annoyed me for most of my life. It’s huge, curly and has a life all its own. I have countless hair stories that could easily become horror stories! For example, once my mother took me to get my hair done at a beauty salon and the stylist gave me a cut that looked like a monster!

Now, you see why mastering my hair was so important to me. I watched countless YouTube videos from a community of women who shared hairstyles, which was a do-it-yourself community I was inspired by. As I started to develop a more loving relationship with my hair, I realized my curly hair was teaching me a lot about patience. That shedding (脫落) is an important part of the “l(fā)etting go” process to make way for the new. Our hair is the only part we can cut off, grow back, color, curl and straighten. The only thing we can change at will is to tell the world who we are.

Now I’m the captain of my ship. But for my hair, I would never have known that.

1.After the author’s brother died, she ________.

A. lost her job and was bathed in tears

B. was very sad and unable to do anything

C. couldn’t recover from the loss of her brother

D. filled her daily life with work to lift up her spirits

2.What did the author think was the key to rebuilding her life?

A. Saving on a tight budget.

B. Getting a dog for company.

C. Acquiring a well-paid job.

D. Fixing the problem of her hair.

3.What can we learn from the author’s experience?

A. Everyone should learn to love himself and care for others.

B. Changing oneself takes patience and is a way to control his life.

C. It is necessary to forget one’s past and live in harmony with nature.

D. Hair shows one’s unique qualities and is a symbol of difficulties in life.

4.What may be the best title for the text?

A. Start from the Head B. Clear up the Mess

C. Make up for the Loss D. Just Do It Yourself
