问题     Think today’s kids want to be doctors or lawyers? No. YouTube stardom (明星) is the number one dream career for young people today, at least according to a widely publicized survey by a British newspaper.
    The appeal is obvious: Some 20-somethings are making millions by playing video games or sharing beauty tips online. But the pressure of having to endlessly produce original content that makes them look accessible, transparent, and authentic has proven too much for some people, including Essena O’Neill. The former social media figure went public in her posts about experiencing symptoms of depression and anxiety from living an overexposed life.
    Living professionally online has also been a challenge for 24-year-old Lauren Riihimaki. Six million people follow her YouTube channel, LaurDIY, which covers topics ranging from home decorating to her adoption of a lovely little dog.
    Most of these stars are between the ages of 20 and 26. Unlike movie stars or rock stars, these videostars do most of their work themselves. They’re responsible for everything from developing an idea, to physically producing it, to starring in it, to directing it, to editing it, to programming it, to promoting and marketing. And to keep their hungry audiences satisfied, they should be doing all that at least twice a week.
    That’s why Lauren Riihimaki came close not just to burning out, but breaking down. She has overcome and pushed the boundaries of her anxiety so insanely since she started YouTube. She sees a psychologist and she’s on medication (药物治疗). And that’s been working for her.
    Dana Julian, a Los Angeles psychologist, says one of the hardest things about managing life as a YouTube star is making a career out of something that can be an addiction. Anyone with a Facebook, Twitter or Instagram account is familiar with the rush to show off. But now, imagine it magnified (放大) by millions of clicks, likes and followers.
    For YouTube stars, when they’re clearly overwhelmed, they should be told to get offline for a while. Stop being a brand. Take some time, just to be a person again.
What can we conclude about Lauren Riihimaki?
选项 A、She has adopted more than one little dog.
B、She is on the edge of chaos and confusion.
C、She has become sensitive and insane.
D、She is making progress with the help of an expert.
答案D
解析 事实细节题。文中第三段提到，网络职业生活对24岁的劳伦．里希迈基来说也已成为一个挑战。第五段继续对她的情况进行说明：她不仅疲惫，而且接近崩溃。最后定位部分指出，她在看心理学专家，也在服用药物，这对她有效果。由此可知，她在专家的帮助下，症状有所缓解，故答案为D)。A)“她领养了不止一只小狗”，文中并没有具体说她一共领养了几只小狗，故排除；B)“她处在困惑、混乱的边缘”，文中只提到她不仅疲惫，而且接近崩溃，并未提及困惑、混乱等信息，故排除；C)“她变得敏感和疯狂”，文中提到自从她开始YouTube直播以来，她已经几近疯狂地克服并突破了焦虑的界限，并非指她本人疯狂，故排除。
