With autumn on the horizon, the season’s first Oscar competitors are here. Already, the Hollywood Reporter has predicted that the often-snubbed(冷落的) Leonardo DiCaprio could win. Although before we get swept up in predictions, it’s nice to remember that little gold men are not the reason we love the movies. They shouldn’t be the primary reason for acting in them either.
Bill Murray knows this first hand. Murray was positioned to win his first-ever Oscar Academy Award for 2004’s “Lost in Translation”, but he lost it to Sean Penn. Years later, Murray explained how he took the defeat in stride(从容应对), and his words should act as a blueprint for anyone who has failed:
“I went through it once before and it’s nice to get nominated and win some prizes. You get to go to dinners and tell little stories and so forth. Then you get to get dressed up. And then you get to be on TV, which is sweet. And you can either win or lose. Well you’re not supposed to say ‘lose’ when you talk about the Oscar. You are supposed to say ‘not chosen’. But I later realized that I had gotten a little caught up in the possibility of winning. So, shame on myself for getting caught in it. But I won a lot of the prizes for Lost in Translation. So I thought it didn’t seem unnatural to expect that I would be rewarded just one more time. So when it didn’t happen, I thought, ‘Well, that’s kind of funny.’ But to get prizes is not why you work.”
Murray isn’t alone in those feelings. No mention of actors without Oscars would be complete without recognition of Leonardo DiCaprio, who said, “I don’t think I ever expected anything like an Oscar ever, to tell you the truth. That is not my motivation when I do these roles. I really am motivated by being able to work with great people and create a body of work that I can look back and be proud of.”
Perhaps neither Murray nor DiCaprio will ever be introduced as an Academy

I felt like I had clicked my heels three times and come to a country away from home every morning as I walked through the doors at the Embassy of Australia in Washington.Musical Aussie accents and Aboriginal art exhibits made me wonder if I had entered without a visa. In fact I was a temporary employee,a public affairs unpaid intern(实习生) for three months during the summer in order to engage myself in the culture of the country where I planned to study the next spring.
During the summer I read the Australian news every day. Working at the embassy allowed me to escape the U.S.for six hours per day and learn about what was going on across the planet.After reading the daily Australian and U.S.news I usually helped prepare a PowerPoint presentation for school kids who visited the embassy as part of a school activity. Depending on whether an embassy event was going on,I would attend weekly meetings to listen to planning and see what I could do to help.Usually there were smaller tasks to be done such as creating visitors’ guides.
The most fantastic event in which I participated was the visit of the Australian Prime Minister. As the only American among countless Australian media and staff, I felt comfortable and was kept busy taking pictures and recording doorstop interviews at famous sites such as the Capitol. As an intern, you will not be exposed to topsecret information, but you are on the inside when it comes to special events.
Government work is a useful addition to one’s experience. As an embassy employee you will gain invaluable knowledge while spending your summer in a culturally diverse workplace.

The book A Big Fat Crisis: The Hidden Forces Behind Obesity and How We Can End It by Deborah Cohen, a senior natural scientist, is very popular now. 1 But according to this book, the following are some misunderstandings of obesity or being overweight.
1. If you’re obese, blame your genes.
2 Yet, between 1980 and 2000, the number of Americans who are obese has doubled — too quickly for genetic factors to be responsible. At restaurants, a dollar puts more calories on our plates than ever before, because restaurant meals usually have more calories than what we prepare at home, so people who eat out more frequently have higher rates of obesity than those who eat out less.
2. If you’re obese, you lack self-control.
Research shows that if we are faced with too much information, we have a tendency to make poor choices on diet. 3 Even the most vigilant(警觉的) people may not be good controllers of themselves.
3. 4
Although the US Department of Agriculture estimates that fewer than 5 percent of Americans live in the "food deserts", about 65 percent of the nation’s population is obese. For most of us, obesity is not related to access to more fresh fruits and vegetables, but to the choices we make in supermarkets.
4. The problem is not that we eat too much, but that we don’t exercise.
Michelle Obama’s "Let’s Move" campaign is based on the idea that if kids exercise more, childhood obesity rates will decrease. 5 In fact, although a drop in work-related physical activity may explain up to 100 fewer calories burned, leisure physical activity appears to have increased.
A. Lack of access to fresh fruits and vegetables is a cause of obesity.
B. Obesity rates have increased.
C. Fresh fruits and vegetables we choose in a supermarket are related to obesity.
D. But there was no obvious decrease in physical activity levels as obesity rates climbed in the 1980s and 1990s.
9
E. People hold different views on obesity.
F. People benefit a lot from physical activities.
G. Our world has become so rich in food that we can be led to consume too much in ways we can’t understand.
【语篇解读】肥胖是现代社会的主要问题之一。Deborah Cohen 的A Big Fat Crisis: The Hidden Forces Behind Obesity and How We Can End It一书中,作者介绍了人们对肥胖问题的几种误解。
1.E 【解析】根据下句由转折意义的内容"But according to this book, the following are some misunderstandings of obesity or being overweight."(但该书认为下面几点是关于肥胖的几点误解)可知,人们对肥胖问题观点不一,故E项正确。
2.B 【解析】根据下句内容"Yet, between 1980 and 2000, the number of Americans who are obese has doubled — too quickly for genetic factors to be responsible."(然而,在1980年到2000年,美国肥胖的人数就翻了一番。该速度太快,可见肥胖并非遗传因素所致)可知,此处表示"肥胖比例有所增加,故B项正确。
3.G 【解析】根据上句"Research shows that if we are faced with too much information, we have a tendency to make poor choices on diet."(研究表明,如果我们面临太多信息,我们很可能会就节食作出糟糕的选择)可知,该句应表示"我们现在的食物如此丰富以致于我们会被引导以自己难以想象的方式去消耗食物",故选G项。
5.D 【解析】根据下句"although a drop in work-related physical activity may explain up to 100 fewer calories burned, leisure physical activity appears to have increased."(尽管跟工作相关的体力活动减少导致人们少燃烧多达100卡路里,但休闲体力活动似乎有所增加)可知,在二十世纪八十年代和九十年代,人们的体力活动并未明显减少,故选D项。
