They are at the center of much of the worlds attention. Paparazzi 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 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 sold-out readings attracted thousands of fans, leading him to plain 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 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 plain about how hard their lives are. They are tired of being famous already.59. It can be learned from the passage that stars today_.A. are often misunderstood by the publicB. can no longer have their privacy protectedC. spend too much on their public appearanceD. care little about how they have e into fame60. 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. Well-known actors are usually targets of tabloids.D. Works of popular writers often have a lot of readers.61. 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.62. What is the authors attitude toward modern celebrity?A. Sincere. B. Skeptical. C. Disapproving. D. Sympathetic.CThree years ago I listened to a lecture on cognition that changed the way I think about intelligence. There are two types of cognition, and the first is normal cognition the ability to regain knowledge from memory. The second type of cognition is metacognition(元认知) the ability to know whether or not you know.Does this affect intelligence? In traditional education, intelligence is measured by cognitive ability. Some people can easily produce everything they know on a test. But others are awarded with poor grades and considered inferior (not as good as). But does this inability make them any less intelligent? If the question came up on a task, they could refer to a book or a quick Google search. In reality theyre just as effective as the people that ace a test. They just cant prove it as easily.Metacognition is more important to success than cognition. A person with poor cognitive ability, but great metacognitive ability might do poorly in school, but when faced with a challenge, they understand their abilities and take the best course of action. For example, when faced with a question, a person with strong metacognitive ability will deal with it like this. If he knows the answer, but cant e up with it, he can always do a bit of research. If he knows for sure that he doesnt know, then he can start educating himself. Because hes aware of his ignorance, he doesnt act with foolish confidence. These people might not seem intelligent at first glance, but because they know what they know, they make better decisions and learn the most important things. However, people with great cognitive ability but poor metacognitive ability may be considered excellent at a young age for acing every test and getting great SAT scores. Unfortunately, theyve been ruined by poor metacognition they think they know everything but they really dont. They are arrogant (overconfident), fail to learn from mistakes, and dont understand the slight differences of personal relationships, showing disregard for persons with lower cognitive ability. They may make the worst decisions.The most important mental power is the ability to know what you dont know .The recognition of a fault is the first step to improvement. Dont try to hide a lack of knowledge. For intelligent people this is the toughest lesson to learn.63. People with great cognitive ability tend to _. A. do well in tests B. be considered inferiorC. be more effective than others D. do research when faced with a task64. The underlined phrase “take the best course of action,” probably means_. A. starting educating himself B. taking action during the courseC. making the right decision D. ing up with many ideas65. People with poor metacognition may not succeed because they _.A. lack basic moral values B. have improper self evaluationC. fail to municate with others D. show little respect for others66. The author probably supports the idea that _.A. intelligence is measured by cognitive abilityB. cognition is the most important mental powerC. the toughest lesson is to distinguish the two types of cognitionD. the awareness of ones ignorance contributes to ones improvementDThe regular use of text messages and e-mails can lower the IQ more than twice as much as smoking marijuana (大麻). That is the statement of researchers who have found that tapping away on a mobile phone or puter keyboard or checking for electronic messages temporarily knocks up to 10 points off the users IQ. This rate of decline in intelligence pared unfavorably with the four-point drop in IQ associated with smoking marijuana, according to British researchers, who have described the phenomenon of improved stupidity as “infomania”. The research conducted by Hewlett Packard, the technology pany, has concluded that it is mainly a problem for adult workers, especially men.It is concluded that too much use of modern technology can damage a persons mind. It can cause a constant distraction of “always on” technology when employees should be concentrating on what they are paid to do. Infomania means that they lose concentration as their minds remain fixed in an almost permanent state of readiness to react to technology instead of focusing on the task in hand. The report also added that, in a long term, the brain will be considerably shaped by what we do to it and by the experience of daily life. At a microcellular(微蜂窝，微孔的) level, the plex networks of nerve cells that make up parts of the brain actually change in response to certain experiences.Too much use of modern technology can be damaging not only to a persons mind, but to th
