3a
1 For this month’s Young World magazine, I interviewed 19-year-old
Asian pop star Candy Wang. Candy told me that she used to be really
shy and took up singing to deal with her shyness. As she got better,
she dared to sing in front of her class, and then for the whole school.
Now she’s not shy anymore and loves singing in front of crowds.
From Shy Girl to Pop Star
2 I asked Candy how life was different after she became famous. She
explained that there are many good things, like being able to travel and
meet new people all the time. “I didn’t use to be popular in school, but
now I get tons of attention everywhere I go.” However, too much
attention can also be a bad thing. “I always have to worry about how I
appear to others, and I have to be very careful about what I say or do.
And I don’t have much private time anymore. Hanging out with
friends is almost impossible for me now because there are always
guards around me.”
3 What does Candy have to say to all those young
people who want to become famous “Well,”
she begins slowly, “you have to be prepared to
give up your normal life. You can never imagine
how difficult the road to success is. Many times I
thought about giving up, but I fought on. You really require a lot
of talent and hard work to succeed. Only a very small number of
people make it to the top.”

3. She didnt use to be ________ in school, but now she gets lots
of attention.

impossible now.

1. Candy told me that she used to be really shy and took up singing to deal
with her shyness. 坎迪告訴我她過去非常害羞，于是開始唱歌來對付她的
羞怯。（教材第27頁）
(1) take up 意為“開始做”，通常指開始某項工作、某個愛好等。尤其指做以
前從未做過的事或作為消遣的事。
take up doing sth. 意為“開始做某事”。
e.g. He is going to take up a hobby like painting. 他打算培養一個愛好，如繪畫。
My father took up learning English at the age of forty. 我的父親在40歲時開
始學英語。
Language Points
① deal with 與 do with 二者都可以用來表示“處理”，deal 側重于方
式、方法，do 側重于對象。在特殊疑問句中，deal with 與 how
連用，do with 則與 what 連用。
e.g. I don’t know how they deal with the problem. =I don’t know
what they do with the problem. 我不知道他們如何處理這個問題。
② deal with 還有一個需要注意的地方：在動詞不定式短語 to deal
with中，必須帶賓語。
e.g. I don’t know how to deal with it. 我不知道如何處理這件事。
(2)deal with 意為“對付；應付”。
e.g. He has learned to deal with all kinds of difficulties. 他已經學會了應 對各種困難。
辨析：deal with 與 do with
2. I always have to worry about how I appear to others, and I have to be very
careful about what I say or do. 我總是不得不為怎樣出現在別人面前而擔
憂，并且我必須注意我說的話和所做的事。（教材第27頁）
worry about 意為“為……擔心，為……擔憂，為……煩惱”。
e.g. She always worries about some little things. 她總是為一些小事而煩惱。
Don’t worry about your son and he is well. 不要為你的兒子擔心，他很好。
【拓展】worry 的過去分詞可轉化為形容詞使用，構成 be worried about，相
當于 worry about。
e.g. Mothers are always worried about their children.
=Mothers always worry about their children. 母親們總是為她們的孩子 擔心。
3. Hanging out with friends is almost impossible for me now because there
are always guards around me. 現在對于我來說和朋友們一起閑逛幾乎是不
可能的，因為在我的周圍總是有警衛。（教材第27頁）
(1) hang out 意為“閑逛；閑蕩”。
e.g. Where does he hang out these days 這些日子他都在什么地方閑逛？
(2) guard 此處用作可數名詞，意為“守衛，警衛”。
e.g. The camp guards changed every night. 營區的守衛每夜都更換。
【拓展】guard還可以用作動詞，意為“防衛；警衛；看守”。
e.g. The dog guarded the house. 狗看守著房子。
4. ...you have to be prepared to give up your normal life. ……你必須準備好放棄你的正常生活。（教材第27頁）
be prepared to do sth. 意為“準備好做某事，愿意做某事”。
e.g. I am prepared to take the exam.我為考試做好了準備。
【拓展】be prepared for 意為“為……做好準備”。
give up 意為“放棄”，其后可接名詞、代詞或動詞-ing形式作賓語。give up 是動副型短語，后接代詞作賓語時，應將代詞放在give 和 up之間。
e.g. We should never give up hope. 我們應該永不放棄希望。
English is very important. Don’t give it up. 英語很重要，不要放棄它。
I will never give up doing sports because I hope I will be healthier.
我永遠不會放棄運動，因為我希望我會更加健康。
