1_．What kinds of people become famous these days?
If you want to become famous, I guess you need to be on TV, you know, like in the news at least. So I would say that talented athletes as well as artists are the people who get the most attention these days. Young people look up to some trendy role models like singers, actors and supermodels. In addition, because China has been developing so quickly, people enjoy hearing about the accomplishments of successful businessmen. They are also placed in the limelight（＝on stage) quite often on national television.

2. 
   Is this different from the kind of achievement that made people famous in the past?
   

Well, to some extent it has always been the same, but I guess that 40-50 years ago, people didn't have a TV so they didn't idolize（＝worship) celebrities as much as nowadays． My parents used to have tapes with the pictures of the famous singers on them．My grandparents were not crazy about pop stars, but they admired opera singers．In addition, I think that twenty years ago famous people were mostly politicians in my country. People heard about them on the radio, and they were considered to be wise leaders everyone should look up to．My mother always told me about famous army soldiers and generals who did good deeds for our society. Their accomplishments won them a lot of recognition．
