Number the information [1–3]. 3 2 1 For this month’s Young World magazine, I interviewed 19 year-old Asian pop star Candy Wang. Candy told me that she used to be really shy and took up singing to deal with her shyness. As she got better, she dared to sing in front of her class, and then for the whole school. Now she’s not shy anymore and loves singing in front of crowds. From Shy Girl to Pop Star I asked Candy how life was different after she became famous. She explained that there are many good things, like being able to travel and meet new people all the time. “I didn’t use to be popular in school, but now I get tons of attention everywhere I go.” However, too much attention can also be a bad thing. “I always have to worry about how I appear to others and I have to be very careful about what I say or do. And I don’t have much private time anymore. Hanging out with riends is almost impossible for me now because there are always guards around me.” What does Candy have to say to all those young people who want to become famous? “Well,” she begins slowly, “you have to be prepared to give up your normal life. You can never imagine how difficult the road to success is. Many times I thought about giving up, but I fought on. You really require a lot of talent and hard work to succeed. Only a very small number of people make it to the top.” uCandy told me that she used to be really shy and took up singing to deal with her shyness. 坎迪告诉她过去真的很羞涩，开始唱歌是为了克服自 己的羞涩。 （1）take up 此处意为“开始从事” ► He dropped medicine and took up physics. 他放弃医学，开始学物理。 Language points take up的其他用法： “占用”The table takes up too much room. “继续”We took up our journey the next day. （2）deal with 相当于do with, 意为“对付；处理” ► How did you deal with the milk? 你是怎么处理那些牛奶的？ ► He has learnt to deal with all kinds of difficulties. 他学习如何处理各种困难。 deal with 相当于do with, 意为“对付；处理” deal with与do with的异同 ► I don’t know how they deal with the problem. = I don’t know what they do with the problem. 我不知道他们如何处理这个问题。 deal with 常与 how 连用, 强调处理问题的方式、方法 do with 常与 what 连用, 侧重于对某事物的利用 （3）shyness 名词，意为“害羞；腼腆”是形容词shy 加后缀-ness 构成的名词。 ► He can’t get over his shyness. 拓展：sad —— sadness happy —— happiness ill —— illness kind —— kindness u As she got better, she dared to sing in front of her class, and then for the whole school. 随着情况的好转，她敢在全班面前唱歌了，后来敢为 全校的人唱歌了。 ( l )dare 此处用作及物动词，意为“敢于；胆敢”。常构 成短语dare to do sth. 意为“敢于做某事”。 ► He didn't dare to look at her in the eye. 他不敢正眼看她。 ► She dared to walk at night. 她敢走夜路。 (2)in front of 意为 “在……的前面”。 ► There is a little child in front of the house. 房前有一个小孩。 辨析 in front of 与 in the front of in front of :“在……前面”，强调在某一物体外部的前面。 in the front of :“在……的前部”，强调在某一物体内部 的前面。 (3)whole 形容词，意为“整个的；全部的”，常用结构 为“the+whole+单数名词”。all也有此意，但语序不同： all用于冠词、所有格或其他限定词之前；whole用于冠 词、所有格及其他限定词之后。 all the time 总是; 一直 the whole time 全部的时间 all my life 我的一生 my whole life 我的一生 注意 1）如果没有冠词或其他限定词，whole不能与单 数名词连用。 ► The whole city was burning. 整个城市都在燃烧。 2）whole一般不与不可数名词及物质名词连用。 （误）the whole money/bread （正）all the the money/bread u Now she’s not shy anymore and loves singing in front of crowds. 现在她再也不羞涩了，并且喜欢当众唱歌。 (1) not ... anymore = no more，意为“不再”。 ► He doesn’t come late anymore.= He no more comes late. 他不再迟到了。 (2)crowd此处用作名词，意为“人群；观众；一帮人”。 ► He pushed his way through the croivd. 他在人群中往前挤。 ► There were crowds of people at the theater. 剧院里挤满了人。 ①用作及物动词，意为“挤；挤满；使挤满”。 ► Shoppers crowded the street. 街上挤满了购物的人。 ► They crowded the bus with passengers. 他们让乘客挤进公共汽车。 ② 用作不及物动词，意为“挤；挨；聚集”。 ► The young pigs crowed against one another for warmth. 小猪挤在一起取暖。 crowd的其他用法 u … like being able to travel and meet new people all the time. ……像总是能旅行和结识新朋友。 1)be able to 与 can 都可表示能力，意为“会；能（够）”。 be able to: 表示经过努力达到目的，可用于各种时态 can :表示有能力做某事，仅用于一般现在时和一般过去时 ► In the end, only 50 people were able to escape from the big fire. 最后，只有50人从大火中逃生。 ► They can sing the song in English. 他们能用英文唱这首歌。 (2)all the time 意为“一直；总是”，通常位于句末。 ► Look!
