At some point I noticed that people were staring at me. The box boys at the supermarket spoke to me with respect. People were mistaking me for somebody else. It had to be somebody who weighed close to 300 pounds and wore a full beard. I enjoyed the way people would suddenly turn to look at me as if I wore wings. Nobody mentioned my name， but naturally they assumed I knew who I was. I could hardly ask， “By the way， who am I？”
As a result of being in the public eye， I began to change myself. I kept my shoes shined. Also， I changed shirts every day. The more I changed， the more second looks I received. From enjoying the attention， I began to long for it. I’d always felt I was somebody special. Now others were finally realizing it.
But who did people think I was？ I must have been a movie star， or at least a television personality. Then one evening I was sitting at a bus stop in Westwood Village when two young men in an old car looked up at me with that expression I had come to recognize as a respect to my talent and success. One of them said， “Hello， Dom！” So that was who I was！ Once I imagined that well-known comedian， I realized I couldn’t have been anybody else. I gave my young fans a big celebrity grin and said， “Hello， boys！” I waved one hand with a welcome-to-Hollywood gesture they would be talking about for years.
I also realized that it was time to go on a diet. I ate more salads and vegetables. I laid off the carbohydrates. I walked a couple of miles every day. When I had lost about 40 pounds， I shaved off my beard. I didn’t realize that my barber had actually been trying to make me look like the fat Dom DeLuise. I waited for my clients to ask， “What did you do to yourself？” But nobody even noticed a change. I melted back into the general population.

解析

试题分析：文章介绍作者被别人误认为是别的人而受到关注，因此很注意日常生活中的细节，因此受到更多的关注，当他彻底改变自己后，大家都没有注意到。
小题1:细节题：从第一段的句子：People were mistaking me for somebody else. It had to be somebody who weighed close to 300 pounds and wore a full beard可知人们错把作者当成别人是因为他重达300磅，长着浓密的胡子，Because he weighed close 300 pounds and wore a full beard.
小题2:细节题：从第二段的句子：As a result of being in the public eye， I began to change myself. I kept my shoes shined. Also， I changed shirts every day 可知因为在公众的眼中，所以作者经常擦鞋子，经常换衬衫，He kept his shoes shined and changed his shirts every day.
小题3:细节题：从第三段的句子： One of them said， “Hello， Dom！” So that was who I was！ Once I imagined that well-known comedian， I realized I couldn’t have been anybody else.可知这些年轻人把作者当成著名的喜剧演员：Because he considered him to be a well-known comedian./Because they mistook him for Dom.
小题4:细节题：从最后一段的句子：I waited for my clients to ask， “What did you do to yourself？” 可知作者希望自己的客户问他对自己做了什么：He expected them to ask what he had done to himself.
