垫乐:
The End of the World- Skeeter Davis
Love Me
“每个忙乱的表相下或许还藏着另一个自我。他们安安静静地活在生活的另一面，为停不下来的我们努力保留着发光的片刻。等我们某天终于厌倦追逐，才能相逢。练习一个人，不执着对未来的控制，不依赖别人的照顾，孤独就不再是威胁，不再是心痛，也不再是惩罚了。”练习爱自己，不违背自己的本心，不把自己的愿望强加于人，不再牺牲自己的自由时间，无须再害怕自己和他人的分歧，矛盾和问题。当你开始爱自己，你就开始享受生命的每个瞬间。

关于卓别林资料
1、Brief Introduction of Charles Chaplin C harlie Chaplin (1889-1977) Charlie Chaplin was a British comedy actor, becoming the most famous actor in the early to mid Hollywood cinema era, and also a notable director. His principal character was ―the Tramp‖:a vagrant with the refined manners and dignity of a gentleman who wears a tight coat, oversized trousers and shoes, a bowler hat, a bamboo cane, and his signature toothbrush moustache. Chaplin was one of the most creative and influential personalities in the silent film era: He acted in, directed, scripted, produced, and eventually even scored his own films. His working life in entertainment spanned over 70 years, from the British Victorian stage and Music Hall in England as a child performer, almost until his death at the age of 88. He led one of the most remarkable and colorful lives of the 20th century, from a Dickens-like London childhood to the pinnacle of world fame in the film industry and as a cultural icon. His high-profile public and private life encompassed highs and lows of both adulation and controversy. Charles Spencer Chaplin was born in London, England, on April 16th 1889. He wore his mother’s old red stockings cut down for ankle socks. His father was a versatile vocalist and actor; and his mother, known under the stage name of Lily Harley, was an attractive actress and singer, who gained a reputation for her work in the light opera field. But his mother was temporarily declared mad. Charlie was thrown on his own resources before he reached the age of ten as the early death of his father and the subsequent illness of his mother made it necessary for Charlie and his brother, Sydney, to fend for themselves. Having inherited natural talents from their parents, the youngsters took to the stage as the best opportunity for a career. Charlie made his professional debut as a member of a juvenile group called ―The Eight Lancashire Lads‖ and rapidly won popular favour as an outstanding tap dancer. 查尔斯斯宾塞卓别林出生于英国伦敦，4月16日1889年。他的父亲是一个多才多艺的歌手和演员，他的母亲，是一个迷人的女演员和歌手，获得了她在轻歌剧领域的工作的声誉。查理父亲早逝，接下来几年他母亲又患病，卓别林和他的弟弟不得不开始自力更生。 从他们的父母有继承的天赋，青少年走上舞台，作为一个职业生涯最好的机会。

查理卓别林翻译
查理·卓别林 第一段：他出生在伦敦南部的一个贫穷地区。他穿着从他妈妈的旧的红袜子上裁剪下来做的短袜。他的妈妈患了精神病。狄更斯可能创造了查理·卓别林的童年。但是只有查理卓别林，那个使其创作者声名永驻的带来衣衫褴褛的矮个男人才有可能创造出伟大的喜剧人物“流浪汉”。 第二段：其他国家—法国，意大利，西班牙，甚至日本和韩国，给卓别林的掌声和利益比他的出生地更多。1913年，为了更好的生活，卓别林离开英国，跟着一群表演者来到美国，被人才挖掘者雇佣去好莱坞喜剧之王麦克塞纳特的舞台上从事他的喜剧表演。 第三段a：遗憾的说，1920年到1930年间的很多英国人觉得卓别林的流浪者形象有一点，怎么说呢，粗鲁。中产阶级的观众就是这样认为的。工人阶级的观众更有可能为用他坏的拐杖来绊倒权威或者是用靴子的后跟来踢他的后跟的反抗权威的角色鼓掌。尽管如此，卓别林的喜剧乞丐形象并不那么像英国人,甚至不像工人阶级。 第三段b：英国的流浪汉不留小撮胡子，不穿大的裤子或者燕尾服：而欧洲的领导人和意大利的服务生穿着类似这样的衣服。而且，流浪汉对美丽女孩的犀利的眼神被认为是一种粗俗的行为。噢，对于英国的观众来说不是那么好—这就是外国人的行为举止，不是吗？但是,超过一半的他的电影事业,没有屏幕的声音可以用来确认卓别林的英国国籍。 第四段：事实上，令卓别林头痛的是当他无法再抵抗有声电影和必需为他的流浪汉形象找到合适的声音。他尽可能地把那天延迟：在1936年的摩登时代，第一部听到他作为服务员,唱歌，他胡言乱语，听起来不像已知的国籍。后来他说他想象流浪汉是一个接受过大学教育的落魄的男人。但是，假如他在早期那些短小喜剧电影中能操一口受过教育的人的口音，则他是否会闻名世界就值得怀疑了，而英国人也肯定会觉得这很“古怪”。没有人能确定卓别林是否故意这样做，但是这帮助他取得了巨大的成功。 第五段：他是一个极其有天才的人，即使在好莱坞明星中也决定了一个不寻常的高度。他巨大的名声给了他自己---更重要的，钱---使他成为自己的主人。随着事业的发展，他有一种要去发掘并扩展自己身上所显露的才能的冲动。“这不可能是我。这可能吗？真奇怪啊，”这是当他第一次在屏幕上看到他自己的流浪汉形象时说的。 第六段：但是那个场面刺激了他的想象力。卓别林并没有事先把他的笑料写成脚本；他一直就是那种依靠灵感来创造艺术的喜剧演员。尤其是无生命的物体帮助卓别林发挥了自己成为一名艺术家。他会将这些物体发挥成其他东西。因此，在《当铺老板》中，一个坏了的闹钟变成了一个正在接受手术的“病人”。在《淘金记》中，靴子被煮熟，靴底蘸着盐和胡椒被吃掉，就像上好的鱼片（鞋钉就像鱼骨那样被剔除）。这种对具体事物的发挥转化，以及他一次又一次做出这种转换的技巧，正是卓别林伟大喜剧的秘密所在。 第七段：他也深切的渴望被爱，也害怕遭到背叛。这两者很难结合，有时候这种冲突甚至---像他早期的婚姻一样---导致灾难。然而这种以沉重代价换来的自知也在他的喜剧作品中得到了表现。流浪汉从来没有对等着他和他一起步入夕阳中的卖花女失去过信心；而另一方面卓别林使他的《凡尔杜先生》，一个杀了妻子的法国人，成为仇恨女人的象征。 第八段a：令人宽慰的是，生活最终把卓别林之前没得到的安稳的幸福给了他。在欧娜·奥尼尔·卓别林身上，他发现一个合作伙伴，她的稳定性和感情跨越了威胁他们的37岁的差异,在1942年,欧娜奥尼尔变成了美丽的十七岁的姑娘，当官方通知他们结婚的日期还有问：“年轻的新郎在哪里”---卓别林，已经54岁了，在外面小心翼翼的等待着。 第八段b：因为欧娜本人出生在一个被各种麻烦困扰的大家庭，她对卓别林生活中将面临的问题也做好了充分的准备，因为当时有毫无根据地流言说他们两个都是马克思主义的同情者。而且，在他们自己的有着很多天才孩子的大家庭中，卓别林有时候会引发争吵，而她则成了安宁的中心。
u校园新视野大学英语(第三版)读写教程2quiz4答案
长篇阅读10题，总分值：20分 Directions： You are going to read a passage with 10 statements attached to it. Each statement contains information given in one of the paragraphs. Identify the paragraph from which the information is derived. You may choose a paragraph more than once. Each paragraph is marked with a letter. Proactive Strategies to Build a Social Life A) A lot of people believe that developing a social life is something that should just happen and develop naturally, without you needing to do anything. I disagree. I think that while this can happen for some folks, in certain stages of their life, it’s not always the case, which is why many of us today lack a fulfilling social life. If you’re in college where you get to hang around lots of other people and you’re naturally a social person, your social circle will develop on its own. But if you’re an accountant working in cubicle all day and you’re kind of shy and don’t go out much, your social life may be seriously deficient. B) In my view, building a social life requires the same active and strategic approach that making money or building a career requires. The approach is based on setting goals and acting on them. Coming from this angle, I want to show you some proactive (积极主动的) strategies to build a social life. C) A fulfilling social life looks differently for different people. Some of us need lots of friends and a large social circle. Some of us are more fond of having just a few friends, but who are very close to us. And some prefer a mix of the two. What is your preference Do you know Take some time to think about this and visualize what your ideal social circle would look like. D) Another aspect to think about is what kind of people you want in your social circle. Do you prefer people who are artistic, or people who are tech-oriented People who are outdoorsy or prefer to be indoors Usually, you will get along best with individuals who are similar to you. So I advise you to consider your dominant traits and consciously decide which of these traits are important for you to

Charlie Chaplin 查理--卓别林(中英互译)
Charlie Chaplin 查理--卓别林 He was born in a poor area of South London. He wore his mother's old red stockings cut down for ankle socks. His mother was temporarily declared mad.Dickens might have created Charlie Chaplin's childhood. But only Charlie Chaplin could have created the great comic character of "the Tramp", the little man in rags who gave his creator permanent fame. 他出生在伦敦南部的一个贫困地区。他穿的短袜是从妈妈的红色长袜上剪下来的。他的妈妈一度被诊断为精神失常。狄更斯或许能创作出查理·卓别林的童年故事，但只有查理·卓别林才能塑造出了不起的喜剧角色“流浪汉”，这个使其创作者声名永驻的衣衫褴褛的小人物。 Other countries—France, Italy, Spain, even Japan—have provided more applause (and profit) where Chaplin is concerned than the land of his birth.Chaplin quit Britain for good in 1913 when he journeyed to America with a group of performers to do his comedy act on the stage, where talent scouts recruited him to work for Mack Sennett, the king of Hollywood comedy films. 就卓别林而言，其他国家，如法国、意大利、西班牙，甚至日本，都比他的出生地给予了他更多的掌声（和更多的收益）。在1913年，卓别林永久地离开了英国，与一些演员一起启程到美国进行舞台喜剧表演。在那里，他被星探招募到好莱坞喜剧片之王麦克·塞纳特的旗下工作。 Sad to say, many English people in the 1920s and 1930s thought Chaplin's Tramp a bit, well, "crude". Certainly middle-class audiences did; the working-class audiences were more likely to clap for a character who revolted against authority, using his wicked little cane to trip it up, or aiming the heel of his boot for a well-placed kick at its broad rear. All the same, Chaplin's comic beggar didn't seem all that English or even working-class. English tramps didn't sport tiny moustaches, huge pants or tail coats: European leaders and Italian waiters wore things like that. Then again, the Tramp's quick eye for a pretty girl had a coarse way about it that was considered, well, not quite nice by English

3雅思口语话题之人物篇
雅思口语话题常见问题一：你要描述的人是谁?Who this friendis?/Who he or she is?/Who thisperson is?/Who the character was?/Who these two people are? 这个问题是几乎所有人物类话题的第一问，属于必答题。回答这一问题的时候，我们不但需要告诉考官这个人是谁(这是最基本的)，而且要对所描述的他/她进行一些修饰，要让考官在没有见过这个人的情况下能够闭上眼仿佛看到这个人就正站在身旁一样。评书中所说的“此人眉分八彩，目若朗星，准头端正，齿白唇红”起的就是这一作用。比如我们来一起看看下面这段对人的描述： He is well oversix feet tall，has this long straggly brown hair. He has a perpetual look ofbemusement on his face，full-sleeve tattoos on both arms，and always wears some variation of a sleeveless leather vest，holey blue jeans tucked into his beat-up cowboy boots，and a cigarette between his lips at all times。 他身高六尺有余，头上散着棕色的头发。他的眼神既忧郁又总带有困惑。双臂从上到下布满了纹身。他总是身着各种无袖皮坎肩，把满是破洞的蓝色牛仔裤裤腿扎进那几双破旧的牛仔靴里，而且嘴里无时无刻的不叼着根烟。 如果我们作答的时候可以说出以上的描述，考官想不给你高分都不可能。因为在他们脑海中可以清晰的浮现出这个人的形象，他好像正在向考官们走来，嘴里吐着烟圈，马上要说“How are you doing，man?”了。所以，如果我们想让自己的作答能够使考官眼前一亮、记忆深刻，我们就要抓住细节来充分描述，比如说这个人身上比较有特点的地方：发型、体态、眼神、穿着等等。这些细节的描述远比那种范范的诸如“He‘s quite tall and strong with long hair on his head。”要生动的多，所得的分数自然也就相距甚远了。 建议：我们在练习时不妨把人物类话题归为老人、孩子、同龄人、公众人物这么几类，然后再分别用细节描述这几类人，使得在回答Who he or she is?时给考官一种活灵活现的感觉。 雅思口语话题常见问题二：你是怎么遇到这个人的?How you firstmet this person?/How you know this person?/How you know him/her?/How you know aboutthis person? 如果各位烤鸭对人物类的机经很熟悉的话，就不难发现这是另外一道在该类话题中出现的高频题。回答该题时，要让考官有一种是 “当事人”感觉。所以我们要把当时第一次见到所描述对象的场景详细的讲述给考官，细节的描述不但可以增加故事的真实性，而且还能

Describe an old person who you admire (描述一个老人) You should say: Who this person is What does he or she look like What kind of person he or she is Explain why you admire this person ANS: Speaking of the old person I admire, the first one springing to my mind is my grandpa. My grandpa is over 70 years old, but looks much younger than he actually is. He is of medium weight and medium height. He looks very energetic and charismatic My grandpa used to work in a large and state-owned company. After retirement he liked practicing Tai Chi, walk the birds, play chess and so on. He is a very warm-hearted, humorous and experienced man. The reason why I admire my grandpa is that he taught me a lot in left. First, he taught me to respect people around me and be an honest person. He is popular in our neighborhood because he is friendly to everyone. Also, he has taught me that how to face the life positively. Anyway, I believe my grandpa has an important influence on me. Describe a school friend who you remember well (描述一个同龄人：邻居或朋友) You should say: What does he or she look like What kind of person he or she is How you became friends Explain why you remember him or she so well ANS: Speaking of a school friend I remember, the first one springing to my mind is Amy. She was 16 years old at that time with an oval face. I remember her sparkling eyes and small red mouse very well. There is always a big smile on her face. She was the most warm-hearted an d sweetest person I’ve ever met. She was a sound person, who has perfect natural temperament. We began to talk with each other after class. Little by little, we became best friends and we like peas and carrots. I think the main reason I can remember her so well is because we have many things are similar. We always help each other and support each other. She always gives me a listening ear, a helping hand and the most sincere words. She knew the things that I wouldn’t tell anyone else. I definitely missed her a lot after I graduated from secondary school.
