Unit 1 The Tail of Fame.Fame, just as property, has attracted the attention of so many individuals, and they are so absorbed in it, that they aren't aware of the physical tiredness. Following fame provides people with faith as well as destruction. On the one hand, the desire to fame gives people the courage to make a full use of time, helps them live better. For instance, without the target for fame, Michael Jackson couldn't grow into a superstar. The desire to fame will always lead people to achieve their dreams. On the other hand, people can also be misled during following the fame. Many artists lose themselves in order to entertain the public. In the end, these tails will come to destruction even though they may manage to gain fame. On my perspective, it's not wrong to follow the fame, if only we can follow our heart. Only by doing in this way, can we not only get fame, but live better and happier.名誉，就像财产一样，吸引了许多人的注意，他们如此全神贯注于它，以至于他们没有意识到身体的疲劳。

以下的名声为人们提供了信仰和毁灭。

一方面，名利的欲望给人以时间的充分利用的勇气，帮助他们更好地生活。

例如，没有目标的名声，迈克尔·杰克逊不能成长为一个超级巨星。

名利的欲望将永远引领人们实现他们的梦想。

另一方面，人们也可以在成名后被误导。

许多艺术家为了娱乐大众失去了自己。

最后，这些尾巴会来破坏，即使他们可能会设法获得名声。

在我看来，只要我们能跟随我们的心，就没有错。

只有这样做，我们才能获得名声，但生活得更好，更快乐Unit 2 Charlie Chaplin.Chaplin is a great comic not only for his own mother country but more for the world. Chaplin’s Tramp was co nsidered a little crude and thought that he had too much of an eye for the ladies and that his clothes gave him an appearance more like an Italian waiter than anything else. He resisted making a talking movie until 1936 when he made up a nonsense language which sounded like no known nationality. Chaplin achieved great success because he was an immensely talented man and the kind of comic who used his physical senses to invent his art as he went along. However, the collision between the need to be loved and the fear of being betrayed resulted in disaster in his emotional life which was shown in his movies. Eventually, life gave Chaplin the stable happiness, that is, his marriage with Oona O’Neil. Chaplin died on Christmas Day 1977.卓别林是一个伟大的漫画，不仅为他自己的祖国，但更多的世界。

卓别林的流浪汉被认为是一个小的原油，并认为他有太多的眼睛的女士们，他的衣服给了他一个外观更像一个意大利服务员比任何其他。

他拒绝拍一部会说话的电影，直到1936岁时，他组成了一个无意义的语言，听起来像没有已知的国籍。

卓别林取得了巨大的成功，因为他是一个非常有才华的人和漫画谁用他的身体感官来发明他的艺术，他一起去。

然而，需要被爱的需要和被背叛的恐惧之间的碰撞导致了在他的电影中所显示的情感生活的灾难。

最终，生活给了卓别林稳定的幸福，那就是，他与乌娜奥尼尔婚姻。

卓别林在圣诞节1977日去世。

Unit 5 Choose to be alone on purpose.While loneliness is very common in the U.S., few people care to admit to it because it is perceived as some sort of social disease. It is seen as admirable for American heroes to bravely go alone into the wilderness and for poets and philosophers to seek out solitude. Some poets and philosophers, like William Wordsworth and John Milton and Henry David Thoreau, enjoy inspiration from solitude. When an individual is not solitary out of choice, the experience is both less enjoyable and productive. It is our basic need to talk to someone not only about the big things but also about the little daily things.As a consequence, lonely people will talk about the little things to themselves, the cat, the dog and, most embarrassingly, to total strangers. Therefore, it’s important for ordinary people to stay rational, make themselves comfortable at least temporarily, and find some grace and pleasure in their home.虽然孤独在美国很普遍，但很少有人愿意承认这一点，因为它被认为是某种社会疾病。

它被视为令人钦佩的美国英雄勇敢地独自一人进入荒野，为诗人和哲学家寻求孤独。

一些诗人和哲学家，像威廉华兹华斯和约翰密尔顿和戴维梭罗，享受灵感来自孤独。

当一个人不是孤立的选择，经验是既不太愉快和富有成效。

这是我们的基本需要，与人交谈，不仅是关于大的事情，但也关于小日常的事情。

因此，孤独的人会谈论自己的小东西，猫，狗，最令人尴尬的是，陌生人。

因此，重要的是让普通人保持理性，使自己至少暂时感到舒适，并在他们的家中找到一些优雅和快乐。

Unit 6 Bribery and business ethics.Bribery in various forms is on the increase in many countries, and even a way of life for centuries. If an official clearly tells that if you offer him a substantia bribe, you’lleasily get an import license and avoid “procedure delays”, do you pay up or stand by your principles? Bribery and other questionable payments indeed have become a fact of commercial life. We divide these payments into three broad categories. The first category consists of substantial payments made for political purposes or to secure major contracts. The second category covers payments made to obtain quicker official approval of some project, to speed up the wheel of government. The third category involves payments made into countries where it is traditional to pay people to help with the passage of a business deal. But how to prohibit bribery in all its forms? ICC favors a code of conduct that would ban the giving and seeking of bribes. Unfortunately, opinions differ among the members of ICC concerning how to enforce the code. Anyway, today’s businessman will frequently meet situations where it is difficult to square his business interests with his moral conscience.在许多国家，各种形式的贿赂都在增加，甚至是几个世纪以来的生活方式。
