Not Your Average TeenLots of teenage girls dream of becoming rich and famous. But it's not a fantasy for Michelle Wie.Just before her 16th birthday last fall, she became the highest-paid woman golfer in history simply by turning professional and lending her name to commercial endorsements that will pay her between $10 million and $12 million a year, most of which will go into a trust fund until she becomes an adult.Wie has been a celebrity since she was 13, when people began predicting she would become the Tiger Woods of women' sgolf. But, as correspondent Steve Kroft reports, that has never been enough for Wie. She wants to become the first woman ever to successfully compete with men in a professional sport. She has tried a couple of times on the PGA Tour without embarrassing herself.As you will see, she has changed a lot since we first talked to her way back in 2004, when she was 14.At the time, Wie told Kroft her ultimate goal was to play in the Masters."I think it'd be pretty neat walking down the Masters fairways," she said.It was a neat dream for a 14-year-old kid. Nothing has happened in the last two years to change Wie's mind or shake her confidence.She is stronger now, more mature and glamorous. She has already demonstrated that she can play herself into the middle of the pack against the best men on the PGA Tour and has come within a shot of winning her first two starts on the LPGA Tour this year as a part-time professional.The day before 60 Minutes interviewed her at the Fields Open in Honolulu, she shot a final round of 66, coming from six strokes off the lead to just miss a playoff."You won your first check yesterday," Kroft says."Uh-huh," Wie says. "It was, it was really cool. I mean, I was like looking at how much I won. I was like 'Oh my God.' "Wie says she won around $72,000.Asked whether she gets to keep that money, Wie said she didn't know."I'm trying to negotiate with my dad how much I can spend of that, and stuff like that. We're still working it out. But, you know, I'm definitely gonna go shopping today," she says, laughing.Half of her life is spent in the adult world, competing with men and women twice her age for paychecks they may need to make expenses and dealing with the media, sponsors and marketing executives. The rest of the time she is a junior at Punahou High School in Honolulu, where she isan A student and claims to lead the life of a typical 16-year-old."Well, I have a math test tomorrow that I haven't studied for at all. Which I'm kind of worried for," she says, laughing.What about boys?"Not yet," she says."And the boys, I'm sure, at your high school are probably a little intimidated," Kroft says."Well, I don't know, I mean, that's what everyone else says," she replies, laughing. "But I don't really care.I'm way too busy as it is."She has already been on the David Letterman Show, graced countless magazines and played golf with former President Clinton, who, she claims, can be rather vague when recording his score.ContinuedTo help manage all of this, her parents have surrounded her with the best people all that money can buy. Besides her caddy, Greg Johnston, and renowned golf coach David Leadbetter, her retinue includes agents, a sports psychologist, physical trainer and image consultant.Two years ago, it was just Wie and her parents. Now she has an entourage."Entourage. That's funny," says Wie. "But, you know, I'm very glad for all the new members of the team. It feels nice to have, you know, people that you can trust around you.""And making decisions for you," Kroft says."Yeah. I mean it's awesome," Wie says.Most of the shots are still being called by her parents, B.J. and Bo, with recommendations from the William Morris Agency, which was hired by the Wie family to manage the business aspects of her career and line up endorsements from sponsors who were already standing in line.They include a ubiquitous sporting goods and apparel company, a Japanese electronics giant and a Swiss watch manufacturer? --who collectively contribute an eight-figure sum to the Michelle Wie trust fund.William Morris president David Wirtschafter says Michelle is, and will remain, their only golf client in a talent stable mostly filled with Hollywood actors, directors and writers. He sees her as someone who can easily make the jump from sports to entertainment.Asked if he thinks there is a difference anymore between sports and entertainment, Wirtschaftersays: "We don't think so. We think that sports is a subset of entertainment. And we feel that somany people are interested in her because almost every demographic is anxious to watch her play and anxious to see what she does next, that she will be one of the few athletes who essentially transcendssports and becomes somebody that people pay attention to in popular culture."Why are so many people interested in her?"I think that men are fascinated by the way that she plays golf," says Wirtschafter. "She plays golf in a style that is much more like men. It's a power golf style. She hits the ball a long, long way. I think women find her attractive, particularly young women, because she, again, is playing against boys. And, yet, when she's off the course, she's very much like them."Wirtschafter acknowledges that Wie has also become very attractive and that it makes a huge difference. "Because she exudes femininity, she exudes youth and, on the other hand, just has a skill level that's off the charts. And I think that's a very, very rare combination.""So if she was 5-2 and weighed 160 pounds, there wouldn't be this interest?" Kroft asks."I don't think there'd be this level of interest. But if she was 5-2 and weighed 160 pounds and could play golf as she plays golf, she'd still be a great golfer," says Wirtschafter.Much of the interest in Michelle is in Asia. She is of Korean descent, already speaks Japanese and is now taking a stab at Mandarin. When she arrived at an airport in Japan last year before playing in a tournament there, she was styled and greeted like a major movie star, although she tries to pretend otherwise.Wie says she doesn ' t feel the level of celebrity she has already achieved. Referring to her movie star-like reception in Japan, Wie says, "Oh, I just figure that they were there at the airport because they had a plane to catch."Wie admits juggling high school life while playing on the LPGA Tour is hectic but says that's the way she likes it."I mean, I like being busy. When I have nothing to do, I'm just like, 'Find me something to do.' I'm just, like, walking around my house trying to find something, actually cleaning up my room," she says, laughing. "Which I never do."Asked if her parents still rule her life, Wie says: "Well, basically, in the household. I mean they're the head of the household. So I guess I have to listen. But I'm still stubborn. I won't give in easily, that ' s the thing."That stubbornness has helped propel her to stardom. She passed up junior events and amateur tournaments that she could win for the chance to lose and learn from the best professionals. She also ignored people like John Hawkins, a senior writer at "Golf World" and "Golf Digest," whoadvised her to stay away from the men ' s tour and go play with the girls."Michelle's an iconoclast. She is somebody who dares to separate herself from her so-called peers," says Hawkins.Hawkins says it's a huge part of Wie's appeal."She is unlike anybody else," he says. "Who has the guts? Can' rtefer to any other part of the anatomy here? Who has the guts to play against men when they're 16? I have a tremendous amount of respect for the satchel it takes to go out there and tee it up with the big boys. You gotta turn your TV on and watch that, don't you? I mean, you got to."And people watched. "People came out. It was all over the newspapers the next day. It's news. It's news when she tries," says Hawkins.ContinuedNo one is happier with the prospect than the TV networks and tournament sponsors. When Michelle plays against men or women, television ratings and ticket sales go up an average of 50 percent. But Hawkins points out that Michelle hasn't won anything since she was 13, and if she is going to justify her eight-figure endorsement deals over any length of time, she needs to win some tournaments."I think a lot of that money is predicated on her not only competing against men, Steve, but beating the women. She is a special talent. She is a transcendent figure," says Hawkins. "She's got it all. But you still gotta have W's in your pocket. I mean, that's the deal."Does Michelle feel the pressure to start winning tournaments?"Well, I mean, I've heard a lot of people say that, but you know, I, hopefully, a lot of my fans will recognize that I'm still a full-time student," she says. "I still have a lot of other things that I have to do. And, hopefully, they'll be patient with me because I believe that I can do it."Last weekend at the Kraft Nabisco Tournament, she just missed another opportunity to win a major championship on the women ' s tour. After making a birdie on the 16th hole, all sheo hdaod tto make the playoff was get it down in two from the edge of the 18th green. But her chip shot went 10 feet past the hole and she just missed the putt coming back."I think, when you're 16, you still come across situations that you've never encountered before," says Hawkins. "You still feel emotions that you've never felt. Your heart beats a little harder. You're not used to feeling the crunch of pressure. I think she's still learning."But if you ask Michelle what has been her most stressful experien ce this year, she ' ll likely giveyou the 16-year- old answer? Which was taking and barely passing her driver 's test?"I got 15 points wrong. So I made it on the number," she explains.While she just made the cut, she says she was really nervous and didn't know what to expect."More than a PGA event?" Kroft asks."Yeah, I think so. It was different, though," she replies.Michelle says she would rate her driving skills as OK. "But I kind of panic sometimes. It's notvery good. I have to get better on that."When her parents finally allow her to have her own car, she ' ll not only get exactly what she wants, some company will gladly pay her to drive it. But to her friends at Punahou High, she is just another junior."She lives her life just like us. We all go to the movies. We all go shopping," says Michelle's friend Raquel.And Meghan, another friend, says even when Michelle is halfway around the world, they text message each other a lot. "I just upped my minutes by the way," she says, laughing.Wie is not one of those prodigies who has been robbed of her childhood; in some ways she is still holding on to it? --the final stages, anyway, and enjoying every minute of it. At 16, the days and weeks still last a long time for her. An endless summer competing against some of the best golfers in the world still feels a long way off. Anything beyond that is hard for her to grasp."I always fantasize with me being on my own, traveling by myself, you know, being independent," she says. "But then the reality sinks in that I never booked a hotel room by myself. I've never bought a plane ticket. I barely know how to do laundry. I can't cook. I can't even, I almost cannot microwave stuff. I mean it's pathetic. So basically the reality sets in and I can't do that.""That's why you have William Morris," Kroft remarks."Yeah," she replies."Isn't it?" Kroft asks."No, that's a good point, that's a really good point. I haven't thought about that before. I mean, I guess I just have to learn how to do laundry," she says.Asked whether she wants to get married and have kids, Michelle Wie said, laughing: "Yeah, most definitely. That's way down the road. I mean, I'm 16 right now. Might be illegal right now."。

among private companies and billionaire entrepreneurs to carry paying passengers into space and tokick-start a new industry, astro tourism.to astronauts, pilots, and aeronautical engineers –basically to anyone who knows anything about aircraft design –burt rutan is a legend, an aeronautical engineer whose latest aircraft is the worlds first private spaceship. as he told when he first met him a little over a year ago, if his idea flies, someday space travel may be cheap enough and safe enough for ordinarypeople to go where only astronauts have gone before. the white knight is a rather unusual looking aircraft, built just forthe purpose of carrying a rocket plane called spaceshipone,the first spacecraft built by private enterprise.white knight andspaceshipone are the latest creations of burt rutan.theyre part of his dream to develop a commercial travel business in space. there will be a new industry. and we are just now in a beginning. i will predict that in 12 or 15 years,there will be tens of thousands, maybe even hundreds ofthousands of people that fly, and see that black sky, says rutan.on june 21, 2004, white knight took off from an airstrip inmojave, calif., carrying rutans spaceship. it took 63 minutes to reach the launch altitude of 47,000 feet. once there, the white knight crew prepared to release the spaceship one. the fierce acceleration slammed mike melvill, the pilot, back in his seat.he put spaceshipone into a near vertical trajectory, until, as planned, the fuel ran out.still climbing like a spent bullet, melvillhoped to gain as much altitude as possible to reach spacebefore the ship began falling back to earth. by the time the spaceship one reached the end of its climb, it was 22 miles off course. but it had, just barely, reached an altitude of just over 62 miles --the internationally recognized boundary of space.it was the news rutan had been waiting for. falling back to earth from an altitude of 62 miles, spaceshipones tilting wing,a revolutionary innovation called the feather, caused the rocket plane to position itself for a relatively benign re-entry and turned the spaceship into a glider.spaceshipone glided to a flawless landing before a crowd of thousands.after that june flight, i felt like i was floating around and just once in a while touching the ground, remembers rutan. we had an operable space plane.rutans operable space plane was built by acompany with only 130 employees at a cost of just $25 million. he believes his success has ended the governments monopoly on space travel, and opened it up to the ordinary citizen.i concluded that for affordable travel to happen, the little guyhad to do it because he had the incentive for a business, says rutan. does rutan view this as a business venture or a technological challenge?its a technological challenge first. and its a dream i had when i was 12, he says. rutan started building model airplanes when he was seven years old, in dyenuba, calif., where he grew up.i was fascinated by putting balsa wood together and see how it would fly, he remembers. and when i started having the capability to do contests and actually win a trophy by making a better model, then i was hooked.hes been hooked ever since. he designed his first airplane in 1968 and flew it four years later.since then his airplanes have become known for their stunning looks, innovative design and technological sophistication.rutan began designing a spaceship nearly a decade ago, after setting up set up his own aeronautical research and design firm. by the year 2000, he had turned his designs into models and was testing them outside his office.when i got to the point that i knew that i could make a safe spaceship that would fly amanned space mission -- when i say, i, not the government,our little team -- i told paul allen, i think we can do this.and he immediately said, go with it. paul allen co-founded microsoft and is one of the richest men in the world. his decision to pump $25 million into rutans company, scaled composites, was the vote of confidence that his engineers needed to proceed. that was a heck of a challenge to put in front of some people like us, where were told, well,【篇三：英语高级视听说 下册 unit15】【篇三：英语高级视听说n new york on tuesday, nov. 1, to begin an eight-day visit, it will be his first official american tour in more than a decade. everyone knows what has happened in the interim. his troubled marriage to the late princess diana, his remarriage to camilla parker bowles, and the youthfulindiscretions of his two sons have been turned to a reality-based soap opera by the tabloid media. but most americans know very little about who the prince of wales is and what he does as heir to the british throne.members of the royal family hardly ever grant interviews, the queen has never given one, and you rarely see them talk. but last month, as his trip to the united states was being planned, prince charles granted 60 minutes correspondent steve kroftan audience, allowing us to follow him around and chat, not about his family, but about being prince of wales, a job and a life like no other.most of us in our lives have to fill out applications listing our profession and occupation. you dont have to do that, kroft said. no. not always, but sometimes, prince charles replied.if you did, what would you put down? kroft asked.i would list it as worrying about this country and its inhabitants. thats my particular duty. and i find myself borninto this particular position. im determined to make the most of it. and to do whatever i can to help. and i hope i leave things behind a little bit better than i found them, the prince said. its hard to say, but i think it is a profession, actually; doing what im doing. because if you tried it for a bit, you might find out how difficult it is, he added, laughing.he is somewhere between a brand and a public institution, a future head of state in waiting —and waiting. he is a symbol of continuity with no real power but tremendous influence that is tied to his position and wealth.the money comes from a 14th century real estate empire called the duchy of cornwall, which was established to provide an income for the heir to the british throne.today it includes 135,000 acres of farmland, forests, waterfront property, london real estate, and even a cricket stadium. it produces $25 million a year in rents and other income that supports the prince, his wife and children and a staff of 130. there are perks such as travel on the royal train. and $7 million from the government to help with official expenses.on a recent trip to the yorkshire countryside to mark the 850th anniversary of the village of richmond, the whole town turned out to greet charles and camilla, his new wife, longtime friend and former mistress, now the duchess of cornwall. they were recently voted the most popular couple in britain, nosing out the queen and prince philip and they seemed comfortable with each other and the crowds.there was clearly a bond between you and the people there. explain that to me, asked kroft.no idea, the prince replied with laugh.you have no idea? kroft asked.no, but i always enjoyed seeing all sorts of people all around the country. i do this over and over again, have done for 30-something years, the prince said.he could pass the time playing polo or do nothing at all if he wanted, a path chosen by most of his predecessors, many of whom were lay-abouts and playboys. but charles chose to invent a job where none existed. he made 29 major speecheslast year, visited 14 countries, and runs the largest group of non-profit organizations in the country called princes charities. he raises more than $200 million a year for those 16organizations, 14 of which he founded.the largest charity is the princes trust which, over 29 years, has helped to provide job training for more than a half a million young people.do you think if you werent doing this stuff, that it would getdone? kroft asked.if i wasnt doing it? no, the prince replied.asked if he felt as if he was making a difference, princecharles said, i dont know. i try. i only hope that when im dead and gone, they might appreciate it a little bit more. do youknow what i mean? sometimes that happens.as he approaches his 57th birthday, he sometimes feels misunderstood and undervalued. he was educated at cambridge, can fly jet planes and helicopters, is extremely knowledgeable about the arts, and has tried to carve out for himself a number of different careers— environmentalist, urban planner, real estate developer, and social critic — deeply committed to a vision of what great britain was and should be. his vision is laid out in bricks and mortar in poundbury, avillage of 2,500 people, which he created on his land near dorchester in the south ofengland. all his ideas on architectural design, class structure, aesthetics and ecology are here. and what he sees as the future looks very much like the past: an 18th century villageadapted for the 21st. prince charles gave kroft a tour of the village. and thats aconvenience store, which im very proud of, which everybody said wouldnt work. thats the pub, which again nobody wanted to touch. but now of course, the values are going up, and upand up.kroft remarked that the buildings looked as if they were builtto last, lacking flimsy materials.well, thats what ive been trying to encourage people to think about. … to break the conventional mold in the way weve been building and designing for the last, well, during the lastcentury really, has all been part of a throw-away society, princecharles said.everything in the village is constructed of native or recycled materials, sustainable development, he calls it, that conservesthe earths resources.single-family homes are mixed with small apartments so there are people of all income levels here living side by side in a community with shops and light industry. the narrow twisty roads discourage automobile traffic, and cars are parked out ofsight in landscaped lots.the whole of the 20th century has always put the car at the center, the prince explained. so by putting the pedestrian first, you create these livable places, i think, with more attraction,and interest and character. livability.he believes that the modern world with its cars and computers is slowly eroding our humanity, that we are losingtouch with the world around us.the british tabloids have made an industry out of his travails and love to portray him as an out-of-touch eccentric trying to stop progress, an edwardian hippie with no real-life experience, whos never had to draw his own bath or take out the garbage. hes been constantly ridiculed for what have been called his undergraduate ramblings, including his innocent admissionthat he talks to his plants.are you familiar with any of the plants here? talking to any ofthem? kroft asked.yeah, i know some of them. no, no, no, the prince said, laughing. no, i do all the time. not here. youve gotten more mileage out of that, i think, than almostanything thats … kroftsaid.j ust just shows you cant make a joke. … without them taking it seriously. so, its the same old story, the prince replied. his image is carefully managed by a communications staff ofnine that also handles his umbrella. they made it clear the prince would not answer questions about his wives, past andpresent, his sons or the queen. he mistrusts the media for past abuses, and worries that no one takes him seriously.what is the most difficult part of your job? i mean except fortalking with people like me? kroft asked.yes, exactly, the prince said, laughing. oh, dear. i think, that the most important thing is to be relevant. i mean, it isnt easy,as you can imagine. because if you say anything, people willsay, its all right for you to say that. its very easy to just dismiss anything i say. i mean, its difficult. but what ive tried to do is toput my money where my mouth is as much as i can, byactually creating like here, models on the ground. i mean, if people dont like it, ill go away and do it.you are in many ways a public advocate for the traditional. what are the great parts of great britain that are worth preserving, besides the monarchy? kroft asked.well, theres an awful lot of things that are worth preserving,the prince said with a laugh. the trouble, i think, in todaysworld is we abandon so many things unnecessarily, so often in the name of efficiency. if you make everything over-efficient,you suck out, it seems to me, every last drop of what, up to now, has been known as culture. we are not the technology. it should be our —you know, our slave, the technology. but its rapidly becoming our master in many areas, i think.prince charles says he is not trying to stop progress. im just trying to say that we ought to redefine the way in which progress is seen. is it progress to rush headlong into upsetting the whole balance of nature, which is what, i think, were beginning to do?you know, if you look at the latest figures on climate change and global warming, theyre terrifying, terrifying.as a member of the royal family, he is expected to avoid politically contentious issues. yet he has openly opposed a number of government policies, including the development of genetically-modified crops. hes raised questions about stemcell research and is a strong advocate of alternative medicine.he has expressed those views in speeches, letters andmeetings with government officials, some of whom considerhim to be a royal nuisance.how do you deal with that? how do you walk that line? kroft asked.well, years of practice, perhaps, the prince said.does it get you in a spot of trouble from time to time fromcertain people? kroft asked.oh, inevitably. but it seems to be part and parcel of the thing. imean, if i wasnt, i think, doing these things, id be accused bypeople like you, doing nothing with my life, the prince replied, laughing.asked if anybody ever asks him to tone it down a bit, the prince said, oh yes, of course. but i think the proof is in the pudding. and i think, you know, all the things they try to tell me to tone down over the years, if you look now, though, youll find theyre fairly mainstream.twenty years ago when he announced that he was going to begin farming organically on his estate at highgrove, no one knew what he was talking about and assumed it was another crackpot idea.today its big business in great britain, and prince charles has a line of high-end organic products produced on his estate called duchy originals that includes everything from biscuitsand jams to mineral water, sausage and turkeys.prince charles says the business has been quite successful. and that has grown and now turns over ?40 million ($71 million) a year. and im able to give away over a million pounds each year to my charitable ventures.when he arrives in new york on nov. 1 as great britains most popular ambassador, he will be selling a political, commercial and diplomatic agenda prepared by the foreign office.he will also be introducing the american public to his new wife, who will be making her first official overseas trip and donned a diamond tiara for the first time last week. she is not giving interviews right now, and may never.she is said to be interested in supporting, not overshadowing, her husband, and has no interest in establishing her ownpublic identity.why has it been 20 years since his last official visit to the united states?you dont want to see me all the time. you get bored, the prince said, laughing.is there anything youre looking forward to doing there, anything youre looking。
