    Unit 3
    Exam practice: Reading - m ultiple-choice questions
    Look at the passage below.
    For question 1, choose TWO letters A-E.
    For questions 2 and 3, choose ONE answer from the letters a-d.

    What reasons do scientists give to explain why some people may w ant to be famous?
    A Because they didn’t have many frie n ds when they were children.
    B They w ant to copy celebrities they see in the media.
    C They did not receive enough attention from th e ir parents in th e ir youth.
    D So that they can be rich in the future.
    E They had a desire to please th e ir parents.
    2 What did the scientists do in order to reach th e ir conclusions? 
    a They analysed the increase in celebrity news in the media, 

    They surveyed c u ltu ra lly diverse sections of population.
    c They investigated different universities

    They interviewed psychologists.

    In the study, how were the people who w ant to be rich d ifferent from those who w ant to be 
    famous?
    a T heir parents helped them to be successful, 

    People close to them had urged them to do w ell
    c They m e a sure d th e ir success by fo cu sing on th e fu tu re , 

    Their parents taught them about business.
    The Psychology of Fame
    U ntil the beginning of the 1990s w estern psychologists had not system atically studied the hum an 
    desire to be fam ous. However, in the few years up to th is tim e the am ount of celebrity news in 
    the media had been increasing dram atically. Scientists at various US universities then started to 
    investigate the reasons w hy some hum ans seem to be driven to become fam ous, w hile others 
    have no interest in attra ctin g the lim e lig h t. Extensive research with people from different cultures 
    led to the conclusion th a t people who desire fam e are not the sam e people w ho w an t to be rich. 
    The fo rm e r group may have som e desire fo r social acceptance based on previous experiences 
    in th e ir lives, it seems that many of these people used to find it d iffic u lt to make frie n ds when 
    they w ere younger o r they didn’t use to receive praise o r recognition fro m th e ir parents. The 
    psychologists believe th a t it is likely th a t these people w ould often demand attention fro m others 
    as teenagers and th is desire has rem ained in adulthood and is now expressed as a longing to be 
    fam ous. Conversely, those who w an t to be rich are m uch m ore focused on the fu tu re than the 
    past; in contrast to the fo rm e r group, the study found th a t many of th is group had learned from
    th e ir parents th a t success is generated by hard w o rk and th a t th e ir friends and fam ily had always 
    encouraged them to strive fo r the best in life. These conclusions suggest th a t there is a lin k 
    between o u r upbringing and how we m easure o u r success.
