Why would anyone want to push themselves into the public eye?
" Famous people have usually experienced a negative event during childhood—often it’s the loss of a parent, or rejection from a key figure in their life at a younger age," said Professor Cary Cooper. He suggested that"their motivator is therefore to achieve something they thought they couldn’t manage".
He added that their fame often takes them away from "ordinary people" , and they’re "thrown into a celebrity group of other people who are insecure".
Canadian psychologist Mark Schaller argued that exposure to fame inevitably produces psychological disturbance. The famous become more chronically self-conscious and self-aware because of all the attention.
Famous people constantly experience that "merely momentary discomfort" of heightened self-consciousness you feel when someone points a camera at you, said Dr Persaud. And Prof Cooper said celebrities often suffer from depression, and turning to drink or drugs could be a result of them often feeling "lonely when not on stage". Being away from home a lot, being under the scrutiny of the press, difficulty sustaining relationships—all of this "makes them vulnerable" and often has a "stress-related outcome".
And, of course, the public’s fascination with celebrities helps fuel their fame. But why do people find them so exciting? Prof Cooper said it is all about our need for " communality"—a feeling of belonging. We talk about people in the public eye and use people as metaphors in public life for our own lives. But he added that we do not actually care about them as individuals—unfortunately for the celebrities we are interested only in how their own lives might reflect our own.
Many people need to be famous because they want______.
选项
A、the money
B、to follow their parents’ steps
C、to be the best
D、to fight back the negative opinion from close ones
答案
D
解析
第二段。这是一篇有关人为什么想出名的文章。出名的人通常在儿童时代经历过沮丧的、悲观的事件——常常是父母的离去,或受到幼时生活中最关键人物的排斥。因此他们的激励因素是在认为不可能控制的事上成功。选项D是正确的。
