Fame Drive You Crazy?(2013北京卷C)Although being famous might sound like a dream come true，todays stars，feeling like zoo animals，face pressures that few of us can imagine.They are at the center of much of the worlds 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!According to psychologist Christina Villarreal，celebritiesfamous peopleworry 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 BC.，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 soldout 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 filmstars 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 arent 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.【解题导语】尽管成名听起来就像梦想实现了一样，然而当今的明星面临我们难以想像的压力1It can be learned
