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 (签名)!According to psychologist Christina Villarreal, celebritiesfamous peopleworry constantly (不断地) 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 (现象) 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 works attracted thousands of fans, leading him to complain about his lack of privacy. Tabloids of the 1920s ran articles about film-stars in much the same way that modern websites do.Being famous people 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 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.31 . It can be learned from the passage that stars today _.Aare often misunderstood by the publicBcan no longer have their privacy protectedCspend too much on their public appearanceDcare little about how they have come into fame32 . What is the main idea of Paragraph 3?AGreat heroes of the past were generally admired.BWell-known actors are usually targets of tabloids.CThe problem faced by celebrities has a long history.DWorks of popular writers often have a lot of readers.33 . What makes it much harder to be a celebrity today?AAvailability of modern media.BHuge population of fans.CNot enough social recognition.DLack of favorable chances.34 . What is authors attitude toward modem celebrity?ASincere.BDoubtful.CSympathetic.DDisapproving.The year 2022 will be big year for sports in China.
