From Shy Girl to Pop Star
For this month’s Young World magazine, I interviewed 1 Asian pop star Candy Wang. Candy told me that she 2 really shy and took up singing to deal with her shyness. As she got better, she dared 3 in front of her class, and then for the whole school. Now she’s not shy anymore and loves singing in front of crowds.
I asked Candy how life was different after she 4 famous. She explained that there are many good things, like being able to travel and meet new people all the time. “ I 5 use to be popular in school, but now I get tons of attention everywhere I go.” However, 6 attention can also be a bad thing. “I always have to worry about how I appear to 7 , and I have to be very careful about what I say or do. And I don’t have 8 private time anymore. Hanging out with friends 9 almost impossible for me now because there are always guards around me.”
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 10 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.”

从害羞女孩到流行歌星
为本月的《青年世界》杂志,我采访了19岁的亚裔歌星( )王坎迪。坎迪告诉我她一直害羞,于是想通过唱歌来挑战羞涩( )。随着她的情况逐步好转,她开始敢于( )在班级同学面前放声歌唱。现在她不再那么腼腆了,而且热爱在众人面前( )演唱。
我问坎迪她成名后的生活有什么不同。她解释说有许多好事,比如可以旅行,随时会结识新面孔。“我以前在学校并不引人注目,但是现在,无论我走到哪里,都会被人关注( )。”然而,太多的关注( )也可以成为坏事。“我总是会担心自己在别人眼中的样子还有,我必须注意自己的言行。我不再拥有很多私人时间( )。现在与朋友外出( )几乎不可能,因为老有保镖守在我周围。
对于所有那些想要成名的年轻人,坎迪有什么话可说呢?“这个嘛”她慢慢道来,“你必须准备好舍弃一个普通人的生活,你永远无法想象,通往成功的路途( )是多么艰难。许多次我都想到放弃,但我奋力坚持下去了。我想成功,你确实需要不少才华和辛勤工作,只有极少数人( )可以攀上成功之巅。”
