What could a woman do in such a (2) decidedly male-dominated world? They argued. But the (3) motive behind the choice of Simona as the new presenter soon became apparent. Rather than change to fit the programme – there is nothing (4) masculine about her – she created a new, more modern show, the (5) principal aim of which is to entertain the whole family.

In most cases, fame can also help them gain wealth. But, after all, very few people can really become famous while most people, including most artists, are unlikely to become famous. It is true that some failure for some people at certain times in their lives does motivate them to strive even harder so as to achieve final success. For example, Thomas Edison, the famous American inventor, had tried hundreds of materials before he finally found the suitable fuse for the electric bulb. However, unfortunately, for most people failure is the end of their struggle. Therefore, in my opinion, success is one thing and fame is another. As long as you have tried your best, you’re already successful whether you are famous or not.</font>作文范文- <center><B>Fame – Good or Evil</B></center>Fame has always been pursued by many people for the advantages it brings about. Fame can assure one of a high social status, high regard, great admiration, etc. Fame can also bring one wealth as a celebrity has more chances to earn big money. Besides, the applauses and flowers from the fans may boost one's self-confidence and increase one's sense of fulfillment. However, fame can ruin one's life, too. It deprives one of his privacy. As a public figure, he is often chased by fans and journalists, and his private life never escapes the media's attention or public curiosity. Fame also places one under great pressure. He has to work in line with public expectations and thus becomes the slave of his own success. So fame is a double-edged sword. I don't seek fame and I don't envy those who are famous. I highly appreciate what the American poet Henry Wadsworth Longfellow says about fame: "The talent of success is nothing more than doing well whatever you do without a thought of fame".。
新标准大学英语综合教程4教师用书unit5课文翻译Unit5Translation of the passagesActive reading (1)英国人说闲话规则的性别差异与普遍的看法相反，研究人员发现：男人和女人一样爱说闲话。
英国的一项研究发现：两个性别的人对诸如人际关系这类的社会话题所花的时间一样多，大约是65%；另一项研究则表明：两性差异很小，男人谈话时有55% 的时间在说闲话，女人说闲话的时间是67%。
由于体育和休闲大约占10% 的说话时间，所以很可能是谈论足球的时间导致了这种性别的差异。
男人谈论政治、职业、艺术及文化事务等‚重要‛或‚高雅‛话题的可能性并不比女人高，除非女人在场（这就形成了强烈的对比）。
女人不在场的时候，男人也说闲话，他们谈论职业和政治等社会问题的时间不会超过5%。
男女都在场时，为了引起女人的注意，男人谈论‚高雅‛话题的时间会大大增加，达到15% 至20%。
事实上，最近的研究表明，男性和女性说闲话在内容上只存在一个重要的差别：男人会花更多的时间谈论自己。
在谈论社会关系的总时间中，男人用了三分之二的时间来谈论自己的关系，而女人谈论自己的时间则只占三分之一。
即便如此，那个关于男人讨论‚解决世界上问题‛而女人只是躲在厨房里闲言碎语的神话仍然大行其道，尤其是在男人堆里。
在我所调查的人群及面谈中，大多数英国男性刚开始时都声称他们不说闲话，而大多数女性都坦承自己说闲话。
在接下来的提问中，我发现两者的差别只在于语义层面而非实践层面：女性通常称为‚说闲话‛的活动在男性那里被定义为‚信息交流‛。
显然，在英国男性眼里说闲话是一件可耻的事情，这条不成文的规则已经深入人心，因此就算一个人真的在说闲话，他也会把它说成是另一回事。
更重要的是，它必须听起来像是在说别的事。
在研究中我发现男女说闲话的主要区别在于女人说闲话听起来更像闲言碎语。
这涉及到三个主要因素——音调规则、细节规则和反馈规则。
语调规则我面谈过的英国女人都认为只有某种特别的语调适合于说闲话。
四、练习答案Listen and RespondFour Steps to Successful Goal-settingSuccessful people always have clear goals.Great musicians,great athletes, successful salespeople and inspiring leaders know what they want in life,and they go after it.No one becomes successful by accident!And yet,a lot of young people that I know just live their lives with no goals at all,or with only vague dreams,hopes and wishes.No wonder they have achieved so much less than they could!For those who have not yet experienced the joy of setting and achieving magnificent goals,here is a powerful set of principles that have worked for thousands of my clients.They will work for you,too.I call them"Four Steps to Successful Goal-setting":1.Decide what you want.Choose the life you prefer!You can't have everything in life.But you can have anything you choose if you will focus,pay the price,and pursue it with all your heart.2.Make clear your values.Too often,people choose goals that are inconsistent with their priorities and daily behavior.Do you value health,or comfort?Is financial independence a priority,or merely a wish?Make sure that your goals are consistent with your most important values.3.Write them down.Have the courage to put your intentions on paper and inyour own words.Be specific and describe your goals in detail.When will you achieve them?What will success look like?Write down the details and read your goals every day4.Take action.To run a marathon,you must jog every day.A loving marriage or happy kids require your time,your attention and your love,every day.Your daily actions need not be profound or extraordinary,but they must be consistent and persistent.Success does not“just happen”.Just as an artist will make preliminary sketches and work out the details in his mind,so your success requires written goals, careful choices,clear commitments and daily persistence.You can do this Make something great of your life!Task One1)It’s mainly about how to set goals.2)Because they have clear goals.They know what they want in life and they go after it.3)The first step is to decide what you want;the second step is to make clear your values;the third step is to write them down;and last one is to take action.4)A person’s success requires written goals,careful choices,clear commitments and daily persistence.Task Two1)athletes2)inspiring3)accident4)priorities5)independence6)intentions7)specific8)marriage9)extraordinary10)persistent11)sketches12)commitmentsText ATask One1.1)The main idea is that fame can it can bring people celebrity and high regard, as a result,people chase fame endlessly,but fame can also enslave people.In a word,chasing fame desperately is not good for people.2)The author holds a negative attitude towards fame.He believes that seeking fame will bring some bad influence on people,such as,deprivation of true self, depression in failure,destruction of one's life,etc.3)The artist has to continue performing in the same style that gains some popularity since it is what the public seems to want and to enjoy.If the artist attempts to change his or her style,the audience may turn away and look to give the momentary fame to other artists.4)People find excuses and explanations for failures’inability to succeed and become famous:they are too sensitive,they are not interested in money,they are not interested in the power that fame brings and they are not interested in the loss of privacy it demands,etc.—all excuses,but comforting to those who fail and those who pretend not to notice the failure.5)People chase fame because they want to demonstrate excellence in somefield;to gain the admiration and love of many others;to be the one everyone talks about;to show family and friends you are more than they thought you were.6)Probably not.The author argues that fame turns all the lights on and while it gives power and reputation,it takes the you out of you:you must be what the public thinks you are,not what you really are or could be.2.Paras.1-2Fame enslaves the person who pursues it.He becomes the slave of his own success.Because he has to work to live up to public expectations.Paras.3-4Failure is not necessarily a bad thing,especially for those who fail to perform well enough to become famous,because people tend to be more tolerant and sympathetic with them.Para.5Though fame may bring harm to those who chase it,people still seek fame for many different reasons.Para.6It is necessary to take a critical attitude towards fame.Task Two1.When a person becomes famous,he or she will not only attract the public attention,but also work and live in line with the public expectations.Thus,to some extent,fame and the public attention may put an end to the famous person’s talent.2.In order to meet the needs of the public,the artists can’t control their lives any more.3.It is easy for performers to believe that they are as perfect as what the mediapublicize and what the newspaper say about them.4.Once you become famous,your opponents will pay special attention to you, they might envy what you have achieved,and they will take advantage of whatever faults you may make to challenge or even attack you.And also you will also be exposed to the media.They always keep an eye on whatever you are doing.Text BChecking Your
