It may be the holiday season, but the spirit of peace and good will has not infected the streets
of Los Angeles. More drivers seem to be rolling through stop signs and running red lights than
ever before. Everyone seems to be in a terrible hurry.
Why is everyone in such a hurry? Where are they rushing to?
I think perhaps the answer lies in answering this question: What does the round of parties and
meetings and mad rushing from place to place allow all of us to avoid confronting? I think the
answer is clear—ourselves.
There is an experiment where subjects had to choose between being alone with themselves
and their thoughts for approximately 15 minutes and receiving electric shocks. The majority chose
the shocks—a reflection of pain, fear, threat, confusion, boredom, you name it.
Our desire not to be with our innermost thoughts is so great that we create and find
distractions. In the car, we will make phone calls or listen to music. We live in a world of endless
opportunities for distraction.
I understand the desire. Life is hard. Growing is a painful and slow process. To keep moving
requires determination and strength—and giving up seems so much easier. We may win some
battles, but the war is never over. Sometimes we are just too tired to fight and just need music or
books to relax. I just instinctively (本能地) turn on the radio when I get in the car; I don't even
give the quiet a moment to sink in.
But it's time for a reality check; otherwise we will slip into avoidance mode. It's challenging,but let's make a change. Instead of rushing from the house to the car, to meetings, or to groceries,
let's take a moment to stop and think before each activity. What do I want to achieve now? And
what is the best way to do that? Maybe I could think of ways to grow.

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.
According to psychologist Christina Villareal, celebrities—famous people—worry constantly
about their public appearance. Eventually, they star t 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，” Villareal 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 soldout readings attracted
thousands of fans, leading him to complain 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 aren't all celebrities running away from it? The answer is that
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.
5．It can be learned from the passage that stars today ________．
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
6．What is the main idea of Paragraph 3?
A．Great heroes of the past were generally admired.
B．The problem faced by celebrities has a long history.
C．Wellknown actors are usually targets of tabloids.
D．Works of popular writers often have a lot of readers.
7．What makes it much harder to be a celebrity today?
A．Availability of modern media.
B．Inadequate social recognition.
C．Lack of favorable chances.
D．Huge population of fans.
8．What is the author's attitude toward modern celebrity?
A．Sincere. B．Skeptical.
C．Disapproving. D．Sympathetic.
