Singers, actors, painters and many other famous people all have to face the dangers of fame(名声). People came to greet them everywhere. Some fans even do crazy things just to see their faces, touch their clothes or see them smile. The stars are always surrounded by newspapermen, TV reporters and photographers. 

Fame brings them quite a lot of money, so they can have easier lives than other people. They live in beautiful houses with housekeepers, gardeners and cooks, but the money does not bring them happiness. The next thing is stress(压力). They get more money and feel more stressed. Being stressed for long makes many of them sick. In other words, fame can make a man happy, but it can also destroy him. There are also some famous people. They have quiet lives and have no problems.
