1. 帮忙创作一个英语短文,要朗读1分钟左右
In our physical world, money solves many problems. Many people think, wrongly, that money can buy happiness because there is a price tag on “almost” everything.
Some things are not for sale – like my dog, for instance (and my children). Although my doxy costs me about $1,000 a year in maintenance, food and vet bills, we love the little beast fiercely, and he could not be bought for a million dollars – on most days.
You can’t buy back good health, once it’s ruined, and you can’t buy Time. All humans have expiration dates, and few can pay for even a few extra, “good days” once the Grim Reaper comes to visit.
That leaves me defending Fame.
This is why I’d choose fame over fortune. Once we’re gone, what’s left behind is our reputation – the love, positive influence and good memories - that people remember us by. That is our personal legacy, our memorial for being on earth. Few remember us for our fortunes, unless we leave it to them.
Recall some famous people: George Washington and Abraham Lincoln, former U.S. presidents; Picasso and Van Gogh, artists; Christopher Columbus, Lewis and Clark, explorers; Shakespeare and Edgar Allen Poe, writers; Socrates and Confucius, philosophers; etc.
Probably not a single, mentioned soul became wealthy ring their lifetimes, and they probably all had differing degrees of “success” and earthly “happiness,” but they stand out in history; they affected many peoples’ lives; they changed the earth in some way.
Most of us admire these people; we envy them for their “immortality” because they live on in the history books and our memories; their names have become household words for many of us.
Many people will say things like “Confucius said,” and listeners pay attention, even though he was not of our culture or religion; he was not a movie star; and none of us ever actually met him - since he died a few hundred years ago.
We also quote Shakespeare, even in his many guises as his own created-characters like Macbeth, Hamlet, and Othello who “spoke to us” more than one hundred years after Shakespeare died.
From the time a child starts school, we ask, “What do you want to be when you grow up?” Many kids used to respond with things like “cowboys, firemen, and cops” (noticeably mostly boy-oriented roles) from early TV influence, but today’s television has greatly influenced – for better or worse - how children perceive the world.
Today, most young kids would probably say they want to be movie stars, sports stars, or famous athletes. Even girls have teen idols like Britney and Jamie Spears, Miley Cyrus, Jessica Simpson, etc. but those girls do not have “normal lives,” and many mature girls do not idolize them.
Boys might want to be a basketball or football star, but most realize those “careers” are short-lived and involve many risks of injury or even death. That is the unwanted side of “fame AND fortune.”
Because we appreciate those who “entertain” us, many successful “stars” today are rewarded with great wealth. But those positions are earned by only a few, and once you delve into those peoples’ private lives, most of us no longer envy them, but pity their short-lived fame and huge incomes that cannot buy privacy, happiness, long-term relationships, and untarnished legends.
Many superstars have their lives exposed for emptiness, plicity, questionable relationships (including multiple marriages), and non-real, Hollywood-projected-happiness. In fact, many of their lives include multiple divorces, isolation for self-protection, bankruptcy, and drug or alcohol addiction.
Many lives of the wealthiest and most famous end in suicide: Elvis Presley, John Belushi, Anna Nichole Smith, and Marilyn Monroe came to an early end. Their names live on in sadness and pity. Arguably, stars like Michael Jackson have few choices beyond an early death because of an unrealistic lifestyle; the need for publicity; the need for drugs to keep on going; and the huge push required to maintain their positions at the top of the world, where no regular human can live for long.
Of course, a few, like Oprah Winfrey (TV multi-millionaire), Bill Gates (Microsoft), Donald Trump (real estate multi-millionaire), Barbara Walters (famous interviewer), and others have earned big money along with fame, but they earned it doing something for the public that was an extension of themselves as real people. Oprah (think black and poverty in her childhood) registers with people for her compassion for others and trying to spread “helpfulness” and common wisdom. Gates was a boy-genius (not envied as a teenager) who made money from his “nerdy” efforts with computers.
Walters shows a compassionate side with her hard-hitting interviews, and she earned the respect of her interviewees so she gets the scoop over her peers. Trump is a genius with great timing; he is an executive who seems to make honest, brilliant deals in real estate, but he’s gone through three wives already and admits he was a lousy father.
Few of us can do it all or have it all.
I think it comes down to living genuine, good lives in our relationships with others. That is, ultimately, what it means to be human. Once we are gone, I think most of us would prefer to be remembered for our deeds, names, and reputations rather than for our money.
During my life, I was a child welfare caseworker, and I affected many children’s lives. I would love to be remembered, at least by those whose lives I touched, as one of THE greatest caseworkers ever.
I was the head of dog rescue for several years. I “saved” many dogs. I hope they, and their new owners, remember me for “rescuing” them.
I am a writer. I have been freelancing for over 50 years. It would be nice to be remembered as that “great” writer who affected others’ lives with something she wrote.
But, ultimately, if I am remembered “only” for being a good wife, mother, daughter, and as a basically “good person,” I will feel that I lived a good life; and my memory will live on through those who outlive me.
I won’t regret that I never had a fortune, but I passed on the “wealth” I had to those I loved and those who loved me. Who I was and what I did will become “famous” to those who knew me.
No one should need to ask for more than that.
BUT
Fame, fortune, fame, fortune. Well if you juggle those words they both sound good don't they? But in my humble opinion I'm going have to go with fortune. I've always been a material girl, not necessarily designer items, but I do like to relish in beautiful clothes and pamper myself here and there. And honestly, if you have fame you have the money to go with it but would you truly be happy?
Fame and fortune all in one sounds like a great two for one deal doesn't it? In my view, that is wrong. Sure, fame may be amazing when you get your first taste of it. But imagine everything that comes with it, you have a management, publicist, stylish, make up artists even, following you mostly everywhere. Since gossip magazines are such a huge hit especially today, you'll be on the cover of one at least once a month given or take how much fame you have.

3. 一分钟英语小故事,急!!!
一篇英语寓言,下面是全文的中英对照,可以看看:)~~ Belling the cat(系铃于猫) Long ago, there was a big cat in the house. He caught many mice while they were stealing food. One day the mice had a meeting to talk about the way to deal with their common enemy. Some said this, and some said that. At last a young mouse got up, and said that he had a good idea. "We could tie a bell around the neck of the cat. Then when he comes near, we can hear the sound of the bell, and run away." Everyone approved of this proposal, but an old wise mouse got up and said, "That is all very well, but who will tie the bell to the cat?" The mice looked at each other, but nobody spoke. 从前,一所房子里面有一只大猫,他抓住了很多偷东西的老鼠。 一天,老鼠在一起开会商量如何对付他们共同的敌人。会上大家各有各的主张,最后,一只小老鼠站出来说他有一个好主意。 “我们可以在猫的脖子上绑一个铃铛,那么如果他来到附近,我们听到铃声就可以马上逃跑。” 大家都赞同这个建议,这时一只聪明的老耗子站出来说:“这的确是个绝妙的主意,但是谁来给猫的脖子上绑铃铛呢?”老鼠们面面相觑,谁也没有说话。 寓意: 有些事情说起来容易,做起来却很难。

5. 求英语故事(1分钟左右能读完的)
It was said that long long ago there lived a family in an unknown place of an unknown country , the father , the son and a dog .And the dog was still an infant at that time. They lived happily until one day a terrible thing came into their life.
An old wolf came into their house when the father was out one day. Of course , the wolf saw the son and he wouldn't let any food escape before his eyes . Just when the wolf was about to enjoy his big meal. The dog noticed that his little master was in deadly danger and rushed out . He hid his little master under the bed away from the wolf. And then, a fierce fight began between the wolf and the dog.
Luckily enough, the dog killed the wolf through great effort . But the dog was also badly injured. When the father came back home and saw the ground covered with blood, he noticed that something bad had happened when he was out. He couldn't find his son.
Just then, he noticed the dog beside him and the dog's mouse was also covered with blood. We can imagine that he certainly flew into a temper and killed the dog full of anger with a knife. Just at that moment, he heard the cry of the baby and nearly at the same time , he saw the dead wolf behind the door. Then he noticed how impulsive he was . He killed not only a dog but also a loyal friend who saved his son's life.
We can draw lessons from the tragedy. Whenever we come across problems, mind yourself it's unclear yet and you needn't put up struggle immediately ,make it clear what is going on or we'll pay the prize because of our impulsory.
6. 英语一分钟短文
What is important for a manager in managing a project ? This question has been argued many times ,and there are so many books about it .Yet,from my perspective ,it is necessary to master the three key points to manage a project well .as follows : keeping to schele ,training staff ,and cooperation .
The first ,keeping to schele is the base of our work .As everyone knows that each project must have a schele which definitely fix the work content and workload ,so ,if the manager doesn't fellow the schele ,everything about the project will be into a mess .
The second ,the manager must take out enough money and time to train their staff ,which is called an intelligence investment .Supposing that your staff are not of necessary work expericence and knowledge ,your project would be delayed .If your staff know how to improve the work effciency and how to work better ,your project must be completed with the prescribed time .
The last , cooperation is equivalent to lubricating oil .every one cooperates sincerely ,your team will be a strong team .and can overcome difficulties confronted in work and accelarates the project schele .
So ,from my point ,the above three factors is key .If you want to be a successful manager , please do it as mentioned above .
