雅思阅读短语400句

最近，在TED上听到了杨澜的一段演讲，分享给各位同学。接下来，请大家和Crystal一起阅读这篇演讲稿,看看有没有我们阅读中熟悉的词。

The night before I was heading for Scotland, I was invited to host the final of “China’s Got Talent” show in Shanghai with the 80,000 live audience in the stadium. Guess who was the performing guest? Susan Boyle. And I told her, “I’m going to Scotland the next day.” She sang beautifully, and she even managed to say a few words in Chinese. [Chinese] So it’s not like “hello” or “thank you,” that ordinary stuff. It means “green onion for free.” Why did she say that? Because it was a line from our Chinese parallel Susan Boyle — a 50-some year-old woman, a vegetable vendor in Shanghai, who loves singing Western opera, but she didn’t understand any English or French or Italian, so she managed to fill in the lyrics with vegetable names in Chinese. (Laughter) And the last sentence of Nessun Dorma that she was singing in the stadium was “green onion for free.” So [as] Susan Boyle was saying that, 80,000 live audience sang together. That was hilarious（[hɪ'leəriəs] adj. 欢闹的，愉快的--He does a hilarious imitation of Tony Blair. 他模仿托尼布莱尔的滑稽表演令观众捧腹大笑。）

So I guess both Susan Boyle and this vegetable vendor in Shanghai belonged to otherness. They were the least expected to be successful in the business called entertainment, yet their courage and talent brought them through. And a show and a platform gave them the stage to realize their dreams. Well, being different is not that difficult. We are all different from different perspectives([pə'spektɪv] n.看法；透视--剑桥真题阅读词汇：C4TEST1P3-Visual Symbols and the Blind--From a number of recent studies, it has become clear that blind people can appreciate the use of outlines andperspectivesto describe the arrangement of objects and other surfaces in space.最近一些研究已经清楚表明，盲人能够理解用来描述物体排列和空间中其他表面所使用的轮廓图和透视图。)) But I think being different is good, because you present a different point of view. You may have the chance to make a difference.

My generation has been very fortunate to witness and participate in the historic transformation of China that has made so many changes in the past 20, 30 years. I remember that in the year of 1990, when I was graduating from college, I was applying for a job in the sales department of the first five-star hotel in Beijing, Great Wall Sheraton — it’s still there. So after being interrogated([ɪn'terəɡeɪt] v.质问；审问--The judge may interrogate the defendant. 法官可以询问被告。)by this Japanese manager for a half an hour, he finally said, “So, Miss Yang, do you have any questions to ask me?” I summoned (['sʌmən] v.召唤；召集--They had to summon a second conference and change the previous decision. 他们不得不召集第二次会议来更改之前的决定。) my courage and poise and said, “Yes, but could you let me know, what actually do you sell?” I didn’t have a clue what a sales department was about in a five-star hotel. That was the first day I set my foot in a five-star hotel.

Around the same time, I was going through an audition ([ɔː'dɪʃn] n.试镜；试听；听力—auditory adj.听觉的—剑桥真题阅读词汇：C9T2P1—Hearing impairment or otherauditory function deficit in young children can have a major impact on their development of speech and communication, resulting in a detrimental effect on their ability to learn at school. 儿童的听力障碍或其他听觉功能缺陷会对他们的语言发展和交流产生严重影响，从而导致他们在学校的学习能力也受到不利影响。)— the first ever open audition by national television in China — with another thousand college girls. The producer told us they were looking for some sweet, innocent and beautiful fresh face. So when it was my turn, I stood up and said, “Why [do] women’s personalities on television always have to be beautiful, sweet, innocent and, you know, supportive? Why can’t they have their own ideas and their own voice?” I thought I kind of offended them. But actually, they were impressed by my words. And so I was in the second round of competition, and then the third and the fourth. After seven rounds of competition, I was the last one to survive it. So I was on a national television prime-time show. And believe it or not, that was the first show on Chinese television that allowed its hosts to speak out of their own minds without reading an approved script. And my weekly audience at that time was between 200 to 300 million people.

Well after a few years, I decided to go to the U.S. and Columbia University to pursue my postgraduate studies, and then started my own media company, which was unthought of during the years that I started my career. So we do a lot of things. I’ve interviewed more than a thousand people in the past. And sometimes I have young people approaching me say, “Lan, you changed my life,” and I feel proud of that. But then we are also so fortunate to witness the transformation([ˌtrænsfə'meɪʃn] n,转型；转化--联想到雅思阅读中的同义替换—change; alter; shift; modify; revision) of the whole country. I was in Beijing’s bidding for the Olympic Games. I was representing the Shanghai Expo. I saw China embracing the world and vice versa. But then sometimes I’m thinking, what are today’s young generation up to? How are they different, and what are the differences they are going to make to shape the future of China, or at large, the world?

So today I want to talk about young people through the platform of social media. First of all, who are they? [What] do they look like? Well this is a girl called Guo Meimei — 20 years old, beautiful. She showed off her expensive bags, clothes and car on her microblog, which is the Chinese version of Twitter. And she claimed to be the general manager of Red Cross at the Chamber of Commerce. She didn’t realize that she stepped on a sensitive nerve and aroused national questioning, almost a turmoil, against the credibility of Red Cross. The controversy(['kɒntrəvɜːsɪ] n.争议；争论—剑桥真题阅读词汇：C8T1P3-TELEPATHY—For more than a century the issue of telepathy has divided the scientific community, and even today it still sparks bittercontroversy among top academics.一个多世纪以来，心灵感应问题一直使科学界出现意见分歧，直到今天，它依旧在学界精英中引发着激烈的争论。)was so heated that the Red Cross had to open a press conference to clarify it, and the investigation([ɪnˌvestɪ'ɡeɪʃn] n.调查—联想到雅思阅读中的同义替换—study; survey; research; questionnaire)is going on.

So far, as of today, we know that she herself made up that title — probably because she feels proud to be associated with charity. All those expensive items were given to her as gifts by her boyfriend, who used to be a board member in a subdivision of Red Cross at Chamber of Commerce. It’s very complicated(['kɒmplɪkeɪtɪd] adj.复杂的—联想到阅读中同义替换—complex; intricate ['ɪntrɪkət]; perplexing[pə'pleksɪŋ])to explain. But anyway, the public still doesn’t buy it. It is still boiling. It shows us a general mistrust of government or government-backed institutions, which lacked transparency([træns'pærənsi] n.透明度；幻灯片--transparent adj.透明的—剑桥真题阅读词汇：C6T3P2-Motivating Employees under Adverse Conditions—The way rewards are distributed should betransparent so that employees perceive that rewards or outcomes are equitable and equal to the inputs given.奖励的分配方式必须透明，使员工意识到奖励或成果是公平的而且与投入是对等的。) in the past. And also it showed us the power and the impact of social media as microblog.

Microblog boomed in the year of 2010, with visitors doubled and time spent on it tripled. Sina.com, a major news portal, alone has more than 140 million microbloggers. On Tencent, 200 million. The most popular blogger — it’s not me — it’s a movie star, and she has more than 9.5 million followers, or fans. About 80 percent of those microbloggers are young people, under 30 years old. And because, as you know, the traditional media is still heavily controlled by the government, social media offers an opening to let the steam out a little bit. But because you don’t have many other openings, the heat coming out of this opening is sometimes very strong, active and even violent.

So through microblogging, we are able to understand Chinese youth even better. So how are they different? First of all, most of them were born in the 80s and 90s, under the one-child policy. And because of selected abortion by families who favored boys to girls, now we have ended up with 30 million more young men than women. That could pose a potential danger to the society, but who knows; we’re in a globalized world, so they can look for girlfriends from other countries. Most of them have fairly good education. The illiteracy rate in China among this generation is under one percent. In cities, 80 percent of kids go to college. But they are facing an aging China with a population above 65 years old coming up with seven-point-some percent this year, and about to be 15 percent by the year of 2030. And you know we have the tradition that younger generations support the elders financially, and taking care of them when they’re sick. So it means young couples will have to support four parents who have a life expectancy（[laɪf ɪk'spektənsiː]预期寿命—联想到雅思阅读中的同义替换—lifetime; human life; life span; longevity） of 73 years old.

So making a living is not that easy for young people. College graduates are not in short supply. In urban areas, college graduates find the starting salary is about 400 U.S. dollars a month, while the average rent is above $500. So what do they do? They have to share space — squeezed in very limited space to save money — and they call themselves “tribe of ants.” And for those who are ready to get married and buy their apartment, they figured out they have to work for 30 to 40 years to afford their first apartment. That ratio in America would only cost a couple five years to earn, but in China it’s 30 to 40 years with the skyrocketing real estate price…...
