选词填空答案及翻译
一
Have
you ever known anyone famous? If so, you may have
found that the
y are remarkably similar
to the rest of us. You may have even heard them
object
to people
saying there is anything different about them.
“
I
’
m
really just a normal guy,
”
protests
an actor who has
recently
rocketed into the spotlight.
There is, of course, usually a brief period
whe
n they actually start to believe
they are as great as their
worshipping
fans
suggest. They start to
wear
fancy
clothes and talk
as if everyone should
hear what they
have to say. This period, however, does not often
last long
. They fall back to reality as
fast as they had
originally
risen above it all.
What will it feel
like to
soar
to such
altitude and look down like an eagl
e
from up high on everyone else? And what will it
feel like to have flown
so
high only to
wake
from your
dream and realize you
are only human?
Some only see the
cruelty
in
losing something they had
gained. They
often make
desperate
attempts to regain what they lost.
Often these
efforts result in even greater pain. Some
become
bankrupt
financially
and emotionally. The only real winners are those
who are happ
y to be back on the ground
with the rest of us.

Have you ever heard of Jon Stewart ? he
is currently one of the most
popular comics on
television. His pessimistic view of the politics
and
government
induces
laughter ,thought
and even anger . he has a clever wit
that often runs into
collision
with some
government policies. His whole
show is
devoted to making fun of the nonsense that occurs
in politics. But
,what makes his show
so
successful
is his ability
to tell his jokes with
intelligence.
“
I
t’s
not just comedy ,
”
said one
media expert .
”
his comments
have a
lot of
influence
over a very large
audience in American. He has a lot of
p
olitical
power.
”
Recently
Stewart was a guest on a news show about politics.
The host
journalist
sparked
a heated debate when he
inquired
about Stewart
responsibility to the
American public. Stewart argued that while the
content of the script for his show may
be political in nature, his primary
obligation
is to entertain.
The host journalist, however ,emphasized the
political influence of his
performance. The argument ended up
rousing
anger from both parties. The incident
underlined
how sensitive
some
people
can be to what others find funny. It also showed
how important
comedians have become to politics.
