Unit1

desperate wake disappointing contest worshipping

object bankrupt cruelty fancy dignity

protects originally protests altitude similarly

Have you ever known anyone famous? If so, you may have found that they 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 when 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 eagle 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 happy to be back on the ground with the rest of us.

你知不知道一些著名的人？如果是这样，你可能已经发现他们和我们（普通人)没有什么区别。您甚至可能会听到他们反对人们说他们与众不同。“我真的只是一个普通的家伙”，一个最近飙升到聚光灯下的演员抗议道。当然，通常在一个短暂的时期，他们开始相信他们是伟大的，因为被他们崇拜的粉丝推崇。他们开始穿花哨的衣服，好像每个人都应该在听他们说话。然而，这样的期间，不会持续太长。他们很快回归到了现实，就在他们把这些（名利）看得太重的时候。那种感觉就好像是一直翱翔在高空的老鹰俯视其他所有的人？那种飞得高的感觉只是为了唤醒你的梦想从而认清你自己？他们从得到又失去中体会到了残酷。他们常常绝望的想得到他们失去的东西。这些努力往往导致更大的痛苦。有些人无论经济和情感上都破产了。只有真正的赢家是那些乐意回到地面与我们（普通人）在一起的人。
