A generation ago young people longed to become lawyers and doctors.Now they desire to be the next Oscar winner or famous pop star.But one university psychologist has pointed out that this is playing havoc with our self­image and sense of self­worth.
Over recent years people around the world have been suffering from an increasing fear of their own “insignificance”， according to Dr Carlo Strenger of Tel Aviv University.
He began a project on the phenomenon 10 years ago，after noticing an increase of fear in his own patients.His findings，presented in a new book，notes hundreds of research projects that have recorded an unprecedented(前所未有的) increase in levels of anxiety and depression.
By using a wide­ranging framework Dr Strenger thinks he has given the accurate cause.“The impact of the global entertainment network on the individual is to blame，” he said.“A new species—global man—is born and we are defined by our close connection to the global entertainment network，which has turned ranking and evaluating people according to wealth and fame into an obsession(狂热).”
As humans we naturally measure ourselves by those around us，but now we live in a “global village” where we are comparing ourselves with the most “significant” people in the world—and finding ourselves not good enough.
He added that in the past being a lawyer or doctor was a very reputable profession.Today，even high achievers constantly fear that they are insignificant when they compare themselves to success stories in the media.“This creates highly unstable personality and an unstable society，” Dr Strenger said.
In his book，The Fear of Insignificance: Searching for Meaning in the Twenty­first Century，Dr Strenger attracts new pop­spiritualism that promises instant change and instant relief.Instead of solving an existential unease，such resources just create ever growing disappointment.
Instead，Dr Strenger says people should stop measuring their achievement through the cultural fantasies of rich and famous people.
The remedy(治疗方法) is a process that he calls “active self­acceptance” through a continuing search for self­knowledge through life.The fear of insignificance can only be overcome through strong individual and cultural identity over and above measurable achievement.“People should invest time and thought in their worldviews in the same way they invest in medical studies and law school，” Dr Strenger advises.

Ⅲ.概要写作
阅读下面短文，根据其内容写一篇60词左右的内容概要。
There are many benefits of public transportation.For example，public transportation makes it easier for people to get where they want and need to go.It also helps people save money，as the cost of maintaining(维修保养) a working vehicle is often much more than the cost associated with public transportation.The frequency of traffic jams and accidents may also be reduced when a person uses public transportation.
One of the main benefits of public transportation is the fact that it makes it easier for people to get around.Without public transportation，many people—especially those without cars—would be limited in where they could go and what they could do.With public transportation，however，people can get to school and work，get to the grocery store and to doctors’ offices，and visit relatives，even if they do not own vehicles.Public transportation serves people of all ages and from all walks of life，ranging from families，including their children，to business people on their way to the office，to the elderly.
Often，people complain about the cost of public transportation when the rates are raised.When compared with the cost of buying a car，many people find that choosing to ride public transportation is a much cheaper option.
When public transportation is available，many people choose to use it instead of driving to work and school.This is true even of many people who own cars，as they may prefer to ride to work on a bus or train rather than deal with traffic jams and parking frustrations each day.When people make this choice，the result is less traffic on the roadways，which means fewer traffic jams and less pollution.In fact，the choice many people make to ride public transportation may even translate into fewer car accidents and vehicle­related deaths and injuries.Additionally，the use of public transportation also means less gas is consumed each year.
