One dilemma that the super famous face is balancing the needs of privacy and recognition.
For some stars privacy is an overvalued thjye.aig.In 1919,Douglas Fairbanks and Mary Pickford went on their European honeymoon.The two international idols had divorced their previous spouses (配偶)and were concerned about how they would be greeted.They needn't have worried.In London their car was surrounded by admiring women who pulled Mary out of the car to shake her hand,still grateful after two years for her efforts selling war bonds.In Paris they couldn't get any sleep with crowds gathering below their hotel room to sing and play for them.In Amsterdam they attended a party and were mobbed(包圍)by other guests who wanted to get close to jye.aim.The athletic Fairbanks placed his wife on his shoulder and escaped through the window.Finally,they found privacy in Hamburg,where their movies were not shown because of World War I.For an hour the famous newly-married couple walked the streets unnoticed until the bored Mary turned to her husband and said, "Doug,I'm sick of this.Let's go back to one of those countries where they mob us."
Joan Crawford had similar feelings.Once in the 1930s she was staying in New York getting over her breakup with Clark Gable.Tired of staying around her hotel feeling so down she told her entourage(隨從)they should go out and get some fresh air.The entourage,who had trouble keeping up with the star's quick pace,were shocked when she walked away from their planned road. "Oh my God.She's going into Grand Central Station!" Someone shouted, "Look,it's Joan Crawford!And she was mobbed.It took them thirty minutes to escape the crowd and get back to their hotel suite.Her hair disheveled (凌亂),her dress tom and her face scratched,Crawford leaned against the door out of breath. "Oh,oh my.That was wonderful.Let's do it again!"

3.I remember my math teacher Mr.Young very well.He stood out because the kids made fun of him.He was missing one of his fingers,and always pointed at students with his middle finger.
I was not very good at English and math.No matter how hard I tried,I just could not figure out why I did not understand what all the other kids found so easy to learn.
One day,I was told that if I got one more E on my report card,I would be taken to the "big prison for kids".
I tried really hard for weeks.I just couldn't understand how to make different parts of members into whole things.
The day before report cards were to come out,I knew that Mr.Young would give me an E,just like he always did.
I went to Mr.Young and told him that the orphanage (孤兒院) was going to send me to the big prison if I got another E on my report card.He told me there was nothing he could do;it would be unfair to the other kids if he gave me a better grade than I had actually earned.
I smiled at him and said, "Mr.Young,do you know how the kids make fun of you because you're missing your finger?" He looked at me,moved his mouth to one side and said nothing.
"They shouldn't do that to you because you can't help not having a finger,Mr.Young.Just like I can't help not being able to learn numbers and stuff like that." I said.
The next day,when I got my report card,I tucked it into one of my books.While on the school bus,I opened it:Geography,B+;Mechanical Drawing,C-;English,D-;History,C-;Gym,B+;Art,C;Math,D-.
That math grade was the most favorite one I ever received.Because I knew that someone in the world finally understood what it was like for me to be missing a finger inside my head.
