新视野大学英语4选词填空答案及翻译

一

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 ther e 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, usual ly 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 hea r 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 ea gle 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 somethi ng they had gained. They often make desperate attempts to r egain what they lost. Often these efforts result in even greater pain. Some become bankrupt financially and emoti onally. The only real winners are those who are happy to b e back on the ground with the rest of us.
