Now, they want to be sports star, pop star and actor, according to survey by the Guardian newspaper.e5TfZQIUB5Rachel, a character in the popular TV show Glee, may be said to speak for British teenagers. “Nowadays being nobody is worse than being poor.” He said.s1SovAcVQMEmma Brockes,a reporter with the Guardian, believes it is “the bad influence of celebrity(名人 culture” that is to blame. “When children wanted to be doctor, it wasnt because they were really more interested in the functions of human organs than they are now。 you go where the respect is.” She wrote.GXRw1kFW5sIt could explain why there has been such an increase in levels of anxiety and depression. Dr Carlo Stranger, of Tel Aviv University, studied the sense of self for his new book The Fear of Insignificance: Searching for Meaning in the 21st Century. He told the Daily Mail that young people now are “affected by the close connection to the global entertainment network, which has turned ranking and rating people according to wealth and celebrity into an obsession(痴迷.”UTREx49Xj9“As humans, we naturally measure ourselves to those around us, but now we live in a global village. We are comparing ourselves with the most important people in the world and finding ourselves wanting,” he said. Today, even high achievers constantly fear that they are insignificant when they compare themselves to success stories in the media.8PQN3NDYyPThe way out? Simply stop measuring your achievement through a fantasy of wealth and celebrity. Dr Strenger said that it is a process called “active self-acceptance through a constant search for self-knowledge through life.”mLPVzx7ZNw“The fear of insignificance can only be overcome through strong individual and cultural identity over and above measurable achievement,” he said.AHP35hB02d56.

But going too far is absolutely undesirable. A little exaggeration, however, does no harm when it shows the persons unique qualities to their advantages. To show personal attractiveness in a casual and natural way, it is important for one to have a clear knowledge of oneself. A skilled packager knows how to add art to nature without any signs of embellishment装饰）, so that the person so packaged is not a commodity but a human being, lively and lovely.gUHFg9mdSsA young person, especially a female, shining with beauty and full of life, has all the favor granted by God. Any attempt to make up would be self - defeating. Youth, however, comes and goes in a flash. Packaging for the middle - aged is primarily to hide the marks made by years. If you still enjoy life enough to keep self - confidence and work at pioneering work you are unique in your natural qualities；and your attractiveness and grace will remain. Elderly people are beautiful if their river of life has been through plains mountains and jungles, running its course as it should. You have really lived your life, which now arrives at a self - satisfied stage of quietness and calmness with no interest in fame or wealth . There is no need to make use of hair dyeing. The snow - capped mountain is itself a beautiful scene of fairyland. Let your looks change from young to old in step with the natural ageing process so as to keep in harmony 和谐）with nature, for harmony itself is beauty, while the other way round will only end in unpleasantness. To be in the elders company is like reading a thick book of deluxe better quality）edition that attracts one so much as to be unwilling to part with.uQHOMTQe79As long as one finds where one stands, one knows how to package oneself, just as a commodity sets up its brand by the right packaging.IMGWiDkflP61It can be concluded from the text that_.A. people should be packed at all agesB. people should be packed in a special wayC. elderly people also care about packingD. proper packing makes people attractive62For the middle - aged, attractiveness_ .A. hardly existsB. is the strongestC. comes from the insideD. comes from the appearanceWHF4OmOgAw63The underlined sentence means that elderly people _.aDFdk6hhPdA. are usually packed like a finely - made bookB. experience a lot and have rich knowledge of lifeozElQQLi4TC. do a lot of traveling and can give you much informationCvDtmAfjiAD. enjoy reading thick books of beautiful nature and fairylandsQrDCRkJkxh C It is a hot summer day，and you feel thirsty. A friend gives you a glass of cold lemonadeHow do you feel when you see the glass? Will you describe your feeling as happiness or as pleasure? I believe you will say it is a feeling of pleasureThere is a connection between these two kinds of feelings，and sometimes one causes the other，but they are not the samePleasure is more dependent on the five senses while happiness is independent of them4nCKn3dlMX When you are happy，little unpleasant events usually do not disturb youWhen you are unhappy，you feel as if everything is against youYou may compensate for it by eating chocolate and sweets because this gives you pleasure；yet you stay unhappyA person may smoke cigarettesbecause it gives him pleasure，yet，this does not make him happier，especially if he knows the fact that it is not good for his health.ijCSTNGm0E The physical world is always in a changing stateAt each moment a new thing is being created，changed，transformed and then destroyed.
