“Today my dream comes true. I have always wanted to be a Grand Slam (全胜) champion.”
These are the words of Chinese tennis player Li Na after she became the first Asian woman to win a Grand Slam final in the French Open on June 4. Li Na’s birthday was February 26, 1982. She is 172cm tall and weighs 65kg. She’s from Wuhan, Hubei.
“Some people say I’m getting old. So this is a great success for such an old woman,” she joked.
This is the way that Li usually says — by being funny. She is a girl who never gives up.
Li started to play tennis at the age of 6. She once said, “As a child, I felt sad because every day I had to get up early to practise. After school, I had to practise. I didn’t have time to play.”
Luckily, the tough girl didn’t give up. Today she makes history for Chinese tennis time after time.
“When you have one title, naturally you will think about another,” she said, not hiding her ambition (雄心).
“Chinese people are so lacking (缺乏) in confidence on the tennis court. If there is a person like me who can show that we can do it, the other young players in China will feel the same,” she said.

Does Fame Drive You Crazy?
Although being famous might sound like a dream come true, today's star, feeling like zoo animals, face 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 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 Villareal, celebrities—famous people—worry 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," Villareal 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 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 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 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. Still, even stars who enjoy full justice often complain about how hard their lives are. They are tired of being famous already.
1.It can be learned from the passage that stars today ________.
A.are often misunderstood by the public B.care little about how they have come into fame
C.spend too much on their public appearance D.can no longer have their privacy protected
2.What is the main idea of Paragraph 3?
A.Great heroes of the past were generally admired.
B.Well-known actors are usually targets of tabloids.
C.The problem faced by celebrities has a long history.
D.Works of popular writers often have a lot of readers.
3.What makes it much harder to be a celebrity today?
A.Lack of favorable chances. B.Not enough social recognition.
C.Availability of modern media. D.Huge population of fans.
4.What is the author's attitude toward modern celebrity?
