3. In the early 1950s, Qian, a scientist working in the United States, suffered serious persecution by the US government just because he sympathized with New China. However, he remained firm and overcame lots of difficulties and returned to his motherland in the end. Following that, he devoted himself whole-heartedly to the development of China’s nuclear weapons program. As to Jobs, he also had to overcome a lot of obstacles on his way to success. Once he was forced out of Apple, the company he had co-founded. But years later he came back and became its CEO, and led the world in tablet computing and smartphones.

Reporter: It’s New York Fashion Week and DJ Robbie Wilde is busy working the exclusive Project
Runway designer reunion Party. Wilde lives in a world of rhythm and bass, he just can’t hear it. Ear infections as a child left Wilde completely deaf in his right ear and with only 20-percent hearing in his left.
Woman: Did you ever feel sorry for yourself?
Wilde: Never, no. Sometimes I’d even forget it sometimes myself.
Reporter: Although hearing is the most important sense in a DJ’s life, Wilde was determined t o make it. He got his first shot to perform at his father’s restaurant nearly a decade ago and hasn’t looked back since.
Wilde: You know I still consider it as a hobby. I really do love it. Like I don’t see it as a job, you know. And that’s the best part, if you love something, you know, you don’t consider it as a job, you know, you’re happy to go to work.
Reporter: Wilde went to DJ school to learn the art of turntablism. And also relies on his computer to see the music and feels the vibration, literally.

Wilde: You know, I don’t want you to see me as a deaf DJ or a deaf kid trying to DJ. I want you, I want you to see me as a great DJ that happens to be deaf, you know, because, you know, I don’t want sympathy, I don’t want, “Oh, let’s give him a gig, because, you know, his hearing is impaired.”
Reporter: His skills got noticed by HP and earned him a spot in a commercial, thrusting him onto the world stage.
Wilde: It doesn’t matter that I can’t hear the music.
Another Woman: That he’s doing it through touch without being able to hear the music is a wonderful story.
Reporter: Besides, some things are better left unheard, he says.
Wilde: You know, there’s a lot of sounds out in the world you don’t want to hear. I like it muffled, you know. It’s, it’s…you know, I like who I am. I’m proud of who I am.
Reporter: When he’s not DJing, Wilde is in the studio producing music.
Woman: What’s your message for those who are trying to chase a dream, just like you?
Wilde: Just, honestly, never, never give up.

Oxford University Oxford University is the oldest university in Britain and one of the world's most famous institutions of higher learning. Oxford University was established during the 1100's. It is located in Oxford, England, about 80 kilometers northwest of London. 牛津大学是英国最古 老的大学，也是世界最著名的高等学府。牛津大学始建于12世纪。它位于英格兰的牛津，在伦敦西北约 80公里处。 The university has over 16,300 students (1999-2000), almost a quarter of these students are from overseas and more than 130 nationalities are represented. It consists of 35 colleges, plus five private halls established by various religious groups. Three of the five private halls are for men only. Of the colleges, St. Hilda's and Somerville are for women, and the rest are for men and women. 牛津大学有16,300多名学生（1999－2000），其中留学生占将近四分之一。他们来自130多个国家。牛津大学有35个学院，还有5个由不同宗教团体建立的私人学院。5个私人学院中，有3个只招男生。学院中，圣希尔达和萨默维尔学院只收女生，其他均为男女兼收。 At Oxford, each college is a corporate body distinct from the university and is governed by its own head and fellows. Most fellows are college instructors called tutors, and the rest are university professors and lecturers. Each college manages its own buildings and property, elects its own fellows, and selects and admits its own undergraduate students. The university provides some libraries, laboratories, and other facilities, but the colleges take primary responsibility for the teaching and well-being of their students. 牛津的每个学院都是独立于大学的实体，由该学院的院长和管委会成员负责管理。部分管委会成员都称为导师的学院教师，其余的是大学教授和讲师。每个学院管理自己的房产和资产，遴选自己的管委会，选择和招收自己的本科生。大学提供某些图书馆、实验室和其他设施，但教学和学生生活主要由各学院负责。 Each student at Oxford is assigned to a tutor, who supervises the student's program of study, primarily through tutorials. Tutorials are weekly meetings of one or two students with their tutor. Students may see other tutors for specialized instruction. They may also attend lectures given by university teachers. Students choose which lectures to attend on the basis of their own special interests and on the advice of their tutors. 牛津大学给每个学生指定一个导师，他主要通过辅导课监督学生的学习。导师每周和1 到2名学生见面一次，学生如需专业指导，还可以去约见其他的导师，也可选听大学老师讲授的课程。学生选听什么课程是根据自己的兴趣和导师的建议而定的。 The university, not the individual colleges, grants degrees. The first degree in the arts or sciences is the Bachelor of Arts with honors. Oxford also grants higher degrees, diplomas, and certificates in a wide variety of subjects. 学位由大学授予，而不是各个学院。最低文科或理 科学位是优等文学学士。牛津还在其他众多学科领域授予最高的学位，颁发文凭和证书。
