8、I have always wondered at the passion many people have to meet the celebrated(名人).The “advantage” you acquire by being able to tell your friends that you know famous men proves only that your are yourself of small account.The celebrated develop a technique(技艺,技能)to deal with the persons they come across.They show the world a mask, often an impressive one, but take care to conceal(隐藏)their real selves.They play the part that is expected from them, and with practice learn to play it very well, but you are stupid if you think that this public performance of theirs corresponds(符合)with the man within.

38. Questions 36 to 40 are based on the following passage.Most of us in the entrepreneurial community are blessed — or cursed — with higher-than-average ambition.Ambitious people strongly desire accomplishments and are willing to take more risks and spend more effort to get them.Overall, this is a positive quality, especially for people trying to build their own businesses.Apparently, if you’re more naturally driven to set goals, you are more likely to succeed.Actually, this isn’t always the case.In fact, in some cases, extreme ambition may end up doing more harm than good.One major side effect of excessive ambition is the tendency to focus too determinedly on one particular vision or end goal.This is problematic because it hinders your ability to adapt to new circumstances, which is vital if you want to be a successful entrepreneur.If a new competitor emerges to threaten your business, you may need to change direction, even if that means straying from your original vision.If you have too much ambition, you’ll find this hard, if not impossible.Few people are successful when they try to build their first brand.Unfortunately, for the most ambitious entrepreneurs, a failure is seen as disastrous, and impossible to recover from.It’s a clear departure from the intended plan toward the intended goal.For people with limited ambition, however, failure is viewed as something closer to reality.Remember, failure is inevitable, and every failure you survive is a learning experience.Ambitious people tend to be more materialistically successful than their non-ambitious counterparts.However, they’re only slightly happier than their less-ambitious counterparts, and tend to live significantly shorter lives.This implies that even though ambitious people are more likely to achieve conventional “success,” such success means nothing for their health and happiness—and if you don’t have health and happiness, what else could possibly matter?Clearly, some amount of ambition is good for your motivation.Without any ambition, you wouldn't start your own business, set or achieve goals and get far in life.But an excess of ambition can also be dangerous, putting you at risk of burnout, stubbornness and even a shorter life.What does the author say is of extreme importance for one to become a successful entrepreneur?
A. Holding on to one’s original vision.
B. Being able to adapt to new situations.
C. Focusing determinedly on one particular goal.
D. Avoiding radical change in one's career direction.

4. Passage Twenty-OneWhat will man be like in the future—in 5,000 or even 50,000 years from now? We can only make guesses, of course, but we can be sure that he will be different from what he is today.For man is slowly changing all the time.Let us take an obvious example.Man, even five hundred years ago, was shorter than he is today.Now, on average, men are about three inches taller.Five hundred years is relatively short period of time, so we may assume that man will continue to grow taller.Again, in the modern world we use our brains a great deal.Even so, we still make use of only about 20% of the brain’s capacity.As time goes on, however, we shall have to use our brains more and more, and eventually we shall need larger ones.This is likely to bring about a physical change to the head, in particular the forehead will grow larger.Nowadays our eyes are in constant use.In fact, we use them so much that very often they become weaker and we have to wear glasses.But over very long period of time it is likely that man’s eyes will grow stronger.On the other hand, we tend to make less use of our arms and legs.These, as a result, are likely to grow weaker.At the same time, however, our fingers will grow more sensitive because they are used a great deal in modern life.But what about hair? It will probably disappear from the body altogether in course of time because it does not serve a useful purpose any longer.In the future, then, both sexes are likely to be bald.Perhaps all this gives the impression that future man will not be a very attractive creature to look at.This may well be true.All the same, in spite of all these changes, future man will still have a lot in common with us.He will still be a human being, with thoughts and emotions similar to our own.Future man will probably ().
