1：Have you ever known anyone famous? If so, you may have found that they are remarkably similar to the rest of us. You may have even heard them object to people saying there is anything different about them. “I’m really just a normal guy,” protests an actor who has recently rocketed into the spotlight. There is, of course, usually a brief period when they actually start to believe they are as great as their worshipping fans suggest. They start to wear fancy clothes and talk as if everyone should hear what they have to say. This period, however, does not often last long. They fall back to reality as fast as they had originally risen above it all. What will it feel like to soar to such altitude and look down like an eagle from up high on everyone else? And what will it feel like to have flown so high only to wake from your dream and realize you; are only human? Some only see the cruelty in losing something they had gained. They often make desperate attempts to regain what they lost. Often these efforts result in even greater pain. Some become bankrupt financially and emotionally. The only real winners are those who are happy to be back on the ground with the rest of us.

你知道有著名的吗?如果是这样,您可能会发现它们非常相似,其余的人。甚至,你可能已经听到他们反对的人说对他们有什么不同。“我只是一个普通人,”抗议一个演员,他最近已经飙升到了聚光灯下。当然,通常是一个短暂的时期,他们真正开始相信他们是伟大如他们崇拜球迷建议。他们开始穿漂亮的衣服和交谈着,就好像每个人都应该听到他说话。这一时期,然而,不经常持续很长时间。他们回到现实原来一样快超过一切。什么会感觉高涨到这样的高度和向下看像一只鹰从高处其他人吗?和什么会感觉飞这么高只有从你的梦中醒来,意识到你;只是人类吗? 一些人只看到残忍的失去的东西,他们得到了。他们往往使人绝望试图夺回他们所失去的。通常这些努力导致了更大的疼痛。一些在经济上和情感上倾家荡产。唯一的真正的赢家是快乐的人,回到陆地上与其余的人。

His pessimistic view of the politics and government induces laughter ,thought and even anger . he has a clever wit that often runs into collision with some government policies. His whole show is devoted to making fun of the nonsense that occurs in politics. But ,that makes his show so successful is his ability to tell his jokes with intelligence.

最近斯图尔特是一个新闻节目的嘉宾对政治。主机记者引发了一场激烈的辩论,当他询问斯图尔特向美国公众的责任。斯图尔特说,当脚本的内容为他的节目可能的政治本性,他的主要义务是娱乐。主机记者,然而,强调他的政治影响性能。争论最终来自两党的振奋人心的愤怒。这一事件突显出敏感的一些人可能别人觉得好笑。它还演示了如何重要的喜剧演员已经成为政治。

3: What happens in America when someone becomes disabled and cannot do the kind of work they did in the past? If someone has been injured on the job ,they are supposed to notify the medical worker ,who would certify that there was a problem. Then, they may receive compensation from the company. If the company provides a pension, the person may receive money monthly to make up for lost wages. The person who has been disabled may also take the company to court if safety was neglected at the workplace. This usually results in receipt of a payment to settle the dispute. In addition, all workplaces are required to pay money to the government for a program to take care of people disabled on the job. One provision in this program requires workplaces where more injuries occur to pay more money. For this reason companies that require heavy physical labor take safety very seriously. Most people misunderstand disability insurance. They think it is ridiculous that a person should get paid without working. In fact, this benefit is usually not enough to cover the rent and other bills of those who receive it. Most of the disabled still want to work, but recovery from the injury and training for other types of employment takes time.

在美国发生的事情当某人成为残疾和不能做的那种工作他们做过?如果有人在工作中受伤,他们本应该通知医务工作者,谁能保证有一个问题。然后,他们可以从该公司获得赔偿。如果公司提供了养老金,人可能每月收到的钱以弥补损失的工资。已经被禁用的人也可以采取公司告上法庭,如果在工作场所的安全被忽视了。这通常会导致收到付款来解决争议。此外,所有工作场所需要支付钱给政府一个程序来照顾残疾人的人在工作。一项条款,在这个程序中需要较多的伤害发生作业场所支付更多的钱。因为这个原因,繁重的体力劳动的公司需要采取非常重视安全。多数人误解了残障保险。他们认为这是荒谬的,一个人应该获得报酬不工作。事实上,这个好处通常是不足以覆盖房租和其他账单的接受它的人。大多数的残疾人仍然想工作,但恢复伤病的困扰和培训对其他类型的就业需要时间。

4: Mr. Li runs a small trade company in Sichuan province. He used to be worried about the sales of his goods, but now he simply logs on the Internet and transmits the information about his company to almost anywhere. He now has so many resources at his disposal than before. He has even started to invest in foreign and make money almost anywhere.

The telecommunications revolution has certainly changed the way we look at the world. And ,most importantly, it allows people to get equal access to the information. People in less developed areas of the world are taking advantage of the benefits as well. One person says, I used to have a small farm, but now I am doing international business. This is just one of the many benefits of the information superhighway. There are ,however, some potential challenges we will have to face. For example, there is a great deal of concern over privacy in the information age. Mr. Li highlights this point. Hopefully, we can solve this problem in the near future.

5 :How do you spend your time when you're alone? Do you turn up your music as loud as you can and listen to your own entertainment? Do you buy yourself the biggest steak you could find and sit down to a good meal? It has been my observation that these activities can be the best type of therapy for a troubled mind. It is crucial for humans to find some solitude in life. They must find some time to let the universe go spinning on without other's interruption. The portion of this world that belongs to one person is increasingly becoming smaller. And whatever we have we must share with others. Therefore, our ability to maintain a healthy balance between social interaction and personal pursuits is being challenged. Inspiration in solitude is a major commodity not only for poets and philosophers but for ordinary people as well. A healthy adult needs "alone-time"--time to reflect on what is truly important to them. When you are alone, you can stretch out your soul until it fills up the whole room, and use your freedom, moving at your own pace. However, it's important to stay rational. Don't forget that in order to be a healthy part of other' lives, you must yourself be healthy.

你如何消磨你的时间当你孤独吗?你把音乐的声音那样大,你可以听听自己的娱乐吗?你给自己买你能找到的最大的牛排和坐下来一顿好餐吗?这一直是我的观察,这些活动可以是最好的类型的治疗伤脑筋。这是至关重要的人类发现一些孤独的生活。他们必须找到一些时间让宇宙去旋转的,没有其他的中断。这个世界的一部分,属于一个人是越来越小。22并且我们不论我们必须与他人分享。因此,我们能够保持一个健康的平衡社会互动和个人追求中受到挑战。灵感在孤独中商品主要不仅为诗人和哲学家但是对于普通人一样。一个健康的成年人需要“alone-time”——时间反思对他们真正重要的东西。当你独自一人时,你可以伸出你的灵魂,直到它填满整个房间,并使用你的自由,你自己的步伐移动。然而,重要的是保持理性。别忘了,为了成为一个健康的一部分其他“生活,你必须自己是健康的。

6: In the past several years, many new stories about corporate greed have come to surface. The illegal practices of some executives have negatively impacted our economy. What makes this worse is that these executives seem to have the consent of some political leaders. Some of the executives even bribe lawmakers. Recently a member of congress from California was caught demanding gifts from interest group in exchange for supporting new laws. A few top leaders in the government are under investigation for illegal activities. This doesn’t even scratch the surface of the problem. A few years back a company made many purposeful accounting errors to fool investors. Many believe that one reason the problem became so big was that our nation’s top leaders shielded the company. By the time the truth was unveiled ,many innocent people had lost their entire savings. There seems to be more and more companies that exploited the public’s trust for their own interests. This calls for laws and strict regulations to put the illegal practice to an end.

在过去的几年中,许多新企业贪婪的故事来表面。一些高管的违法行为的负面影响我们的经济。是什么让这个更糟糕的是,这些高管似乎有一些政治领导人的同意。一些高管甚至贿赂议员。最近,一个来自加州的国会成员被要求从利益集团的礼物,以换取支持新法律。一些高级领导人在政府为illeg正在接受调查而这甚至还没有触碰到问题的表面。而这甚至还没有触碰到问题的表面。几年前,一家公司做了许多有目的的会计差错欺骗投资者。许多人认为,其中一个原因,这个问题变得如此巨大,我们国家的最高领导人保护公司。真理的时候公布后,许多无辜的人们失去了他们的所有积蓄。似乎有越来越多的公司利用公众的信任自己的利益。这需要严格的法律和法规将结束的非法行为。
