31、ries 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

32、 they really are, seeing themselves the way their fans imagine them, not as the people they were before everyone knew their names. Over time J 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 Al

33、exander 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-sta

34、rs 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 alw

35、ays 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 escap

36、ing 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. T

Disapproving.CMillions of Americans began 2014 with the same resolution as they started 2013 with a goal of losing w

40、eight. However setting weight loss as a goal is a mistake.To reach our goal of losing weight- the output, we need to control what we eat- the input. That is we tend to care about the output but not to control the input. This is a bad way to construct goals. The alternative is to focus your resolutio

41、n on the input. Instead of resolving to lose weight try an actionable resolution: T 11 stop having desert for lunch ” or aV 11 walk every day for 20 minutes.Creating a goal that focuses on a well-specified input will likely be more effective than concentrating on the outcome.Recently a new science b

42、ehind incentives （激励）including in education has been discussed. For example researcher Roland Fryer wanted to see what works best in motivating children to do better in school. In some cases he gave students incentives based on input like reading certain books while in others the incentives were bas

43、ed on output like results on exams. His main finding was that incentives increased achievement when based on input but had no effect on output. Fryers conclusion was that the intensives for inputs might be more effective because students do not know how to do better on exam aside from general rules

44、like “study harder. Reading certain books on the other hand is a well-set task over which they have much more control.As long as you have direct control over your goal you have a much higher chance of success. And its easier to start again if you fail because you know exactly what you need to do.If

45、you want to cut down on your spending, a good goal would be making morning coffee at home instead of going to a cafe for example. This is a well-specified action-based goal for which you can measure your success easily. Spending less money isnt a goal because its too general. Similarly if you want t

46、o spend more time with your family dont stop with this general wish. Think bout an actionable habit that you could adopt and stick to like a family movie night every Wednesday. In the long run these new goals could become a habit.28.The writer thinks that setting weight loss as a goal is a mistake b
