In an American zoo, the visitor can walk through a huge special cage that is filled with trees, some small animals and many birds, and large enough for the birds to live naturally. In a zoo in New York, with the use of special night light, people can observe certain animals that are active only at night, when most zoos arc closed. Some zoos have special places for visitors to watch animals that live in the desert or under water.

(2013·高考北京卷,C)Although being famous might sound like a dream come truetoday’s starsfeeling like zoo animalsface 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 homescameras 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 Villarrealcelebritiesfamous peopleworry constantly about their public appearance.Eventuallythey start to lose track of who they really areseeing themselves the way their fans imagine themnot 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 battlehoping to picture his victories for his admirers.When Charles Dickens visited America in the 19th centuryhis sold?out readings attracted thousands of fansleading 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 todayhoweveris 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 ridiculousthere is always the Internet to spread the news in minutes and keep their “story” alive forever.

If fame is so troublesomewhy 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.Stilleven stars who enjoy full justice often complain about how hard their lives are.They are tired of being famous already.

Aare often misunderstood by the public

BThe problem faced by celebrities has a long history.

DWorks of popular writers often have a lot of readers.

3.What makes it much harder to be a celebrity today?

AAvailability of modern media.

BInadequate social recognition.
