17、, 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 withou

18、t 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 peopl

19、e 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.

20、 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 figu

21、re 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 fore

22、ver.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 ar

23、e 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.24. It can be learned from the passage th

26、. D. Huge population of fans.27. What is the authors attitude toward modern celebrity?A. Sincere. B. Sceptical. C. Disapproving. D. Sympathetic.CTwo-thirds of the worlds major rivers have now been disrupted (中断) with more than 50,000 dams in an attempt to store water and provide power. In the US，the

27、re are more than 85, 000 dams, disrupting large and small rivers and in most cases transforming natural flow. The most famous of these, the Hoover Dam constructed in the l930s, is mainly responsible for the fact that the Colorado River no longer reaches the ocean.Dams besides all their attractive be

28、nefits also have negative impacts. Creating a reservoir (水库) means a large area must be flooded. Communities may lose their land，houses and culturally important sites. Downstream of a dam, the flow may be reduced so that farmers cannot irrigate their fields.Environmentally the new reservoir can be a

29、 paradise for wildlife especially birds. However it can cause greenhouse gas emissions and poison the water for fish. Also the dramatic rise and fall of water levels during dam releases is too extreme for plains and animals to cope with resulting in dead zones around the shores of reservoirs. Fish t

30、hat lay their eggs in the shallows for example may find a few hours later that those sites are high and dry.Dams dont just block water flow. The flow may be reduced so that farmers will have great trouble getting water for their fields. They also prevent fish migrations and are a barrier to sediment

31、 (沉淀物) flows. Instead of rushing downriver sediments get backed up against the dam wall which cause the reservoir level to increase over timeHowever, sediments which are rich in nutrients have become a problem. The fertility of the entire system can be influenced with soils lost during seasonal rains not being replaced.Perhaps the biggest problem can be seen in deltas (三角洲) often host to large cities，which are sinking into the oceans. Groundwater is being extracted to feed the city causing the urban weight to sink and sediments washed away by the ocean
