21、 Life began in Hawaii in 1985 for musical celebrity Bruno Mars. His dad, Pete, was a percussionist (打击乐手) and his mom, Bernadette, was a singer and dancer, so it seemed natural that Bruno would one day become a musician. At age 4, Bruno officially joined in a show, and audiences adored him. That early introduction to show business helped him develop confidence. He says, “Performing from such a young age just got me so comfortable on stage. Growing up performing — that was normal for me.”
After graduating from high school, Bruno decided to move to Los Angeles to pursue a music career. It wasn’t easy, though. He was used to performing regularly as a musician in Honolulu, Hawaii. But LA’s competitive atmosphere was nothing like that in Hawaii. “It’s not like in movies, where you walk into a record company and you’re given all these great songs. You have to write what the world is going to want to hear. I learned that the hard way here in LA,” Bruno said.
Though the enticement to give up was great, he never did. Bruno found that he could make money and become established by writing songs for famous singers. In 2010 Bruno caught a lucky break when he was asked to record one of his songs. It rocketed to the top of the charts. That same year he released his first original solo single, Just the Way You Are, which also hit number one. The song’s success brought Bruno instant fame and star status.
Since then Bruno Mars has received numerous music awards and honors. He has sold more than 130 million records, making him one of the best-selling artists ever. Many of his fans and peers consider him a musical genius and one of the world’s best performers.

22、Everyone has got two personalities(性格)--the one that is shown to the world and the other that is secret and real. You don’t show your secret personality when you’re awake because you control yourself, but when you’re sleeping, your sleeping position shows the real you. In a normal night, of course, you often change your sleeping positions. The important position that best shows your secret personality is the one that you go to sleep.
If you go to sleep on your back, you’re a very open person. You normally trust people and you are easily influenced by new ideas. You don’t like to make people unhappy, so you never express your real feelings. You’re quite shy and you aren’t very confident.
If you sleep on your stomach, you are a person who likes to keep secrets. You worry a lot and you’re always easily becoming sad. You never want to change your ideas, but you are satisfied with your life the way it is. You usually live for today not for tomorrow.
If you sleep on curled up, you are probably a very nervous person. You have a lot of opinion of yourself and often protect yourself from being hurt, so you are very defensive. You’re shy and you don’t usually like meeting people. You like to be on your own.
If you sleep on your side, you have usually got a well-balance personality. You know your strengths and weaknesses. You’re usually careful. You have a confident personality. You sometimes feel worried ,but you don’t often get unhappy. You always say what you think even if it makes people angry.

23、Americans won’t live without cars! Each year there is an increasing number of cars on roads and streets, as millions of new cars are produced.One of every six Americans work at putting together the parts of cars, driving trucks, building roads or filling cars with gas.
Most Americans find it hard to think what life would be without a car.However, some have realized the serious problem of air pollution by cars.The polluted air is poisonous and dangerous to health.
One way to get rid of the polluted air is to design a new car that does not pollute.That’s what several large car factories are trying to do.But to build the new car is easier said than done.Progress in this field has been slow.
Another way is to take place of the car engine by something else.Engineers are now working on some new cars.Many makers believe that it will take years to develop a practical model that pleases man.
To prevent the world from being polluted by cars, we’ll have to make some changes in the way many of us live.Americans, for example, have to cut down the number of their cars they are encouraged to travel and go to work by bike.Riding a bike is thought to help keep the air clean.
