1. dissolve本义是溶解的意思，这里意为消失
2. flavor of the month短暂的时髦(可以指人、无、想法等) Many youngsters tend to admire the glory of being a flavor of the month and that is really innocent!
公众的热情消磨之后，就会去追捧下一个走红的人.
Para. 3 成名者之所以成名，大多是因为发挥了自己在歌唱、舞 蹈、绘画或写作等方面的特长，并能形成自己的风格。为 了能迅速走红，经纪人会极力吹捧他们的这种风格。他们 青云直上的过程让人看不清楚。他们究竟是怎么成功的， 大多数人也都说不上来。尽管如此，艺术家仍然不能闲下 来。若表演者、画家或作家感到厌烦，他们的作品就难以 继续保持以前的吸引力，也就难以保持公众的注意力。公 众的热情消磨以后，就会去追捧下一个走红的人。有些艺 术家为了不落伍，会对他们的写作、跳舞或唱歌的风格稍 加变动，但这将冒极大的失宠的危险。公众对于他们藉以 成名的艺术风格以外的任何形式都将不屑一顾

1. What do you think is the relationship between money and happiness?
In my opinion, money doesn’t necessarily bring happiness. There are lots of rich people in the world who live unhappy lives. Happiness is just a state of mind, and it mainly depends on how you look at people and things. However, having money sometimes does make us feel a little happier because it can help us to gain what we want more easily.

4. What is described as being "tragic" in the passage?
1. The speaker believes that being famous has three benefits. 2. Being famous is good for three reasons.
Take a Dictation
People often say that being famous is a hassle. I don't see why. From what I've seen, from people on TV and in movies, having fame is a never-ending joy. Right here, I'd like to introduce the reasons behind my thought. Firstly, famous people enjoy a status that other people simply don't have. With this higher status, famous people can enjoy such pleasures as getting a table at a crowded restaurant whenever they want one. People look up to and respect those with fame. Secondly, famous people receive attention from others. How often do you feel ignored and unheard by others? Famous people don't have this problem. When they speak, people listen. Thirdly, famous people can often use their fame to make money. They can bring attention to products and receive money for doing so, or they can act in movies. I, for one, would like to be famous. And I suspect that even people who are against fame would secretly like to be famous too.

A welfare client is supposed to cheat. Everybody expects it. Faced with sharing a dinner of raw pet food with the cat, many people in wheelchairs I know bleed the system for a few extra dollars.

Байду номын сангаас
Para3
As a welfare client I'm expected to bow before the caseworker. Deep down, caseworkers know that they are being made fools of by many of their clients, and they feel they are entitled to have clients bow to them as compensation. I'm not being bitter. Most caseworkers begin as college-educated liberals with high ideals. But after a few years in a system that practically requires people to lie, they become like the one I shall call "Suzanne", a detective in shorts.

They were unable to drum up enthusiasm for the new policies. 他们未能激起人们对新政策的热情。
5. under the table: in a secret way (Para. 2)
Some athletes sometimes cheated, sometimes lied, or took money under the table. 有些运动员有时作弊，有时说谎，有时私下拿钱。
He was bleeding from a gash on his The West is bleeding poorer countries head. dry. 他头上的刀口正在流血。 西方正在榨干贫穷国家的财富。
Para2
I have opted to live a life of complete honesty. So instead, I go out and drum up some business and draw cartoons. I even tell welfare how much I make! Oh, I'm tempted to get paid under the table. But even if I yielded to that temptation, big magazines are not going to get involved in some sticky situation. They keep my records, and that information goes right into the government's computer. Very high- profile.
2. be supposed to: (Para. 1)
1)be generally believed or expected to be or do

As a welfare client I'm expected to bow before the caseworker. Deep down, caseworkers know that they are being made fools of by many of their clients, and they feel they are entitled to have clients bow to them as compensation. I'm not being bitter. Most caseworkers begin as college-educated liberals with high ideals. But after a few years in a system that practically requires people to lie, they become like the one I shall call "Suzanne", a detective in shorts.
