WHAT PRICE FOR FAME
A. In 1968, the pop artist, Andy Warhol, proclaimed that "in the future, everyone will be world-famous for 15 minutes". If people didn't believe him then, they surely do now. The pursuit of fame has never been more prevalent in popular culture than it is today. It has been suggested that the 21st century has brought a serious shift in moral values. Where fame was once reserved for the most gifted artists in the entertainment industry, these days it seems that anyone from a reality TV contestant to an online video blogger can become famous. But, should we all be pursuing it? Is fame all it is made out to be or is it, in fact, a lifestyle that's better off left to the stars in Hollywood?
B. The Internet offers people an enticing fast track to fame. Video sharing websites invite you to 'broadcast yourself' by sharing any part of your life or your interests. Video bloggers can build up a virtual audience in no time, and they can even keep track of the number of viewers they receive. When a video is viewed by a large audience in a short space of time, it is said to have gone viral. That means that the video uploader's work has spread like a highly infectious disease! Few people go on to find more than their fifteen minutes, but a minority of stars have been born from the Internet. British pop star Little Boots achieved mainstream success after posting her musical performances on YouTube and Myspace. Another hopeful, American teenager Rebecca Black, achieved instant fame after her music video Friday went viral, receiving almost 170 million views, on the same social media sites.
C. Similarly, the TV talent contest The X Factor, which is broadcast in countries worldwide, continues to have millions of viewers hooked, as rival contestants battle it out for The X Factor crown. However, these contests have their fair share of critics who say the judging panels are cruel to contestants and that such highly competitive shows bring out the worst instincts of viewers as well as contestants. Reality television promotes a culture of bullying, they say, in which humiliation is regarded as entertainment.
D. What is more, most talent show contestants are young people with little or no idea about how to handle fame.They can struggle to cope with the sudden glare of the spotlight. Then, as their fifteen minutes of fame ends and the public's attention turns elsewhere, these fading stars often struggle to readjust to normality. However, hanging on to fame has its own pitfalls. Fame brings a loss of privacy as a star's life becomes the subject of media attention and, sometimes, malicious rumour. This can have a devastating effect on their friendships. People who desire fame have to be prepared to live their life under a microscope. Fame may build confidence, but any negative attention can destroy this confidence, bringing insecurity, depression and loneliness, too.
E. On the other hand, the makers of Glee, a popular US TV show, wanted to show how a shared passion for performing pop music could actually bring people together rather than push competitiveness and rivalry. In the series, a group of shy, self-conscious students are brought together to perform their idols' hits. The programme is all about having the courage to be oneself without being concerned about perfection and success. Unlike other reality shows, Glee explores friendship and communication, presenting a positive example for teenagers.
F. It is important to put human emotions and relationships before fame because, after all, fame does not bring happiness. The bright lights of fame have blinded many wannabes who, later, end up feeling lonely and confused. Fame is fleeting for most people, but the real world is lasting for everyone.

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions from 21 to 28.
 Until recently, most American entrepreneurs were men. Discrimination against women in business, the demands of caring for families, and lack of business training had kept the number of women entrepreneurs small. Now, however, businesses owned by women account tor more than $40 billion in annual revenues, and this figure is likely to continue rising throughout the 1990s. As Carolyn Doppelt Gray, an official of the Small Business Administration, has noted, "The 1970s was the decade of women entering management, and the 1980s turned out to be die decade of the woman entrepreneur."
 What are some of the factors behind this trend? For one thing, as more women earn advanced degrees in business and enter the corporate world, they are finding obstacles. Women are still excluded from most executive suites. Charlotte Taylor, a management consultant, had noted, ‘In the 1970s women believed if they got an MBA and worked hard they could become chairman of the board. Now they’ve found out that isn’t going to happen, so they go out on their own.’
 In the past, most women entrepreneurs worked in ‘women’s’ fields - cosmetics and clothing, for example. But this is changing. Consider ASK Computer Systems, a $22-miIlion-a-year computer software business. It was founded in 1973 by Sandra Kurtzig, who was then a housewife with degrees in maths and engineering. When Kurtzig founded the business, her first product was software that let weekly newspapers keep tabs on their newspaper carriers - and her office was a bedroom at home, with a shoebox under the bed to hold the company’s cash. After she succeeded with the newspaper software system, she hired several bright computer science graduates to develop additional programs. When these were marketed and sold, ASK began to grow. It now has 200 employees, and Sandra Kurtzig owns $66.9 million of stock.
 Of course, many women who start their own businesses fail, just as men often do. They still face hurdles in the business world, especially problems in raising money; the banking and finance world is still dominated by men, and old attitudes die hard. Most businesses owned by women are still quite small.
 But the situation is changing; there are likely to be many more Sandra Kurtzigs in the years ahead.

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions from 37 to 42.
WHAT PRICE FOR FAME
A. In 1968, the pop artist, Andy Warhol, proclaimed that "in the future, everyone will be world-famous for 15 minutes". If people didn't believe him then, they surely do now. The pursuit of fame has never been more prevalent in popular culture than it is today. It has been suggested that the 21st century has brought a serious shift in moral values. Where fame was once reserved for the most gifted artists in the entertainment industry, these days it seems that anyone from a reality TV contestant to an online video blogger can become famous. But, should we all be pursuing it? Is fame all it is made out to be or is it, in fact, a lifestyle that's better off left to the stars in Hollywood?
B. The Internet offers people an enticing fast track to fame. Video sharing websites invite you to 'broadcast yourself' by sharing any part of your life or your interests. Video bloggers can build up a virtual audience in no time, and they can even keep track of the number of viewers they receive. When a video is viewed by a large audience in a short space of time, it is said to have gone viral. That means that the video uploader's work has spread like a highly
