题型:不详难度:来源:
Gao Xiaosong was born with a silver spoon in his mouth. His grandfather was headmaster of the famous Tsinghua University. His wife’s father graduated from the Imperial College London and founded Shenzhen University. He basically grew up on Tsinghua"s campus, and studied in the top schools in China, before he, unsurprisingly, entered Tsinghua"s electronic engineering department, one of the school"s best majors.
He wrote On the Same Page as You are at age 24. Almost overnight, every young person knew the song by heart. That tune and his later works made him a household name in the country. He later became a judge on the hot variety show (综艺节目) China"s Got Talent.
Everything has gone right for him aside from one major bump in the road—he was arrested for drunken driving in 2011, after he left the first press conference for his film, My Kingdom.
"For me, the six months was not only a result of the trial but also an atonement,(赎罪)" he says. "Six months is like a leaf falling from the tree of life—no big deal. I was a spoiled person in many ways before 40. So, maybe it was an opportunity to pay for my wildness and arrogance(傲慢) in my youth." The hardest thing for him in prison wasn"t sleeping between a thief and a bad man but missing his daughter"s development from ages 3.5–4.
Gao has become even busier after getting out of prison for drunken driving. A tour concert of his songs is going around the country, while Morning Talk airs weekly. He is searching for new vocal talent for a music company, and his next film is in progress. But he knows clearly what he wants from life—he plans to focus on music until he turns 60, after which he"ll focus on writing and film directing. "You can never write pop music at 60," he says. "I don"t complain about that. But you can always write a good book or direct a good film, no matter how old you are."

核心考点
试题【Gao Xiaosong was born with a silver spoon in his mouth. His grandfather was head】;主要考察你对数词等知识点的理解。[详细]
举一反三
[1]Five years ago, David Smith wore an expensive suit to work every day. “I was a clothes addict”. He jokes. “I used to carry a fresh suit to work with me so I could change if my clothes got wrinkled”. Today David wears casual clothes—khaki pants and sports shirt to the office. He hardly ever wears a necktie. “I’m working harder than ever”. David says, “And I need to feel comfortable”.[ 2 ]More and more companies are allowing their office workers to in the United States. The change from formal to casual office wear has been gradual. In the early 1990s, many companies allowed their employees to wear casual clothes on Friday. This became known as “dress-down Friday” or “casual Friday”. “What started out as an extra one-day-a-week benefit for employees has really become an everyday thing.” said business consultant Maisly Jones.
[ 3 ]Why have so many companies started allowing their employees to wear casual clothes? One reason is that it’s easier for a company to attract new employees if it has a casual dress code. “Many young people don’t want to dress up for work”, says the owner of a software company, “So it’s hard to hire people if you have a conservative dress code”. Another reason is that people seem happier and more productive when they are wearing comfortable clothes. In a study 85 percent of employers said that they believe that casual dress improves employees’ motivation. Only 4 percent of employers said that casual dress has a negative influence on productivity. Supporters of casual office wear also argue that a casual dress code helps them save money. “Suits are expensive, if you have to wear one every day”, one person said, “For the same amount of money, you can buy a lot more casual clothes”.

Researchers found that women are overcome by a burning desire to share gossip(流言蜚语)as soon as they hear it. They will typically tell the secret to at least one other person in 47 hours. Depending on who the gossip is about, their boyfriend, husband, best friend or mother is most likely to be the recipients(接受者)of the information.The study of 3,000 women aged between 18 and 65 also found that. four out of ten admitted they were unable to keep a secret—no matter how personal or secret the news was. It was also found that alcohol usually gives us a helping hand to let out secrets—with more than half admitting a glass or two of wine could get them to dish the dirt.
Michael Cox, UK Director of Wines of Chile, said, “It’s official that women can’t keep secrets. We are really eager to find out with this survey how many secrets people are told. What we don’t count on(指望)is how quickly these are passed on by those we trust. No matter how precious the piece of information is, it often comes out within 48 hours.”
Three quarters say they are able to keep quiet about a secret, and 83 percent consider themselves 100 percent reliable within each group of friends. Yet, four in ten admit to gossiping to a close friend from another friendship group. Nearly half(45 percent)disclose secrets just for the weight to be lifted from their shoulders. More than four in ten think it is acceptable to share a friend’s secret with someone who doesn’t know him or her.
Private issues, true cost of purchases and affairs emerged top of the secret-keeping list, with girls most likely to share a secret chatting face-to-face, on the phone or via a text message. Fortunately, over a quarter(27 percent)said they forgot what they were told the following day.
