Unit 1
"So
you
want
to
be
a
rock
and
roll
star?"
asked
the
musician,
Bib
Dylan.
You
have
decided to seek fame's
spotlight. And you will not be
persuaded otherwise. What is it that
lures you? Is it the worshiping fans? Or is it simply to be recognized for being truly fantastic
at something? This is all quite understandable. I should warn you, though. It is difficult to
sustain the public's favor. These people will grow bored so easily. Even if you should succeed,
you might not be happy, once you win in your conquest of fame, complaints will follow. For
example, people will say that your work fails to show a lack of continuity in its appeal. You
see,
their
enthusiasm
will
soon
dissolve.
I
should
also
tell
you
that
there
will
be
plenty
of
people who will want to exploit you during your brief stay at the top. Friends? Sure, as long
as you have money you'll have friends who will suck everything you have out of you. And
don't forget to watch your agent closely. You might need a good lawyer and an accountant,
but they too will want their piece of the pie
鈥?/p>
making money out of you.
I see you understand the cruelty of the situation. However, your chase for fame can't be
discouraged by my pessimistic outlook. Go ahead then. Don't ket me stop you. But when you
fail of fall right back where you started and you're miserable, don't accuse me of not having
warned you. I've done all that I can for you.

Unit 2
It is doubtful that there was a more successful comedy team in the 20
th
century than the
Three Stooges. Larry, Moe, and Curly became famous for their many short movies featuring
extraordinary comedy. In their movies, they found many ways of showing off funny actions.
They
attracted
large
audience
and
received
a
lot
of
applause.
However,
their
movies
also
sparked
criticism.
Some
people
who
didn't
like
the
Three
Stooges
claimed
they
were
too
violent.
In a TV interview
Moe and Larry
were roused to defend themselves. Their coarse
brand, they said, shouldn't be taken seriously. It was just "cartoon violence".
The stooges got their name and their start in an act called Ted Healy and His Stooges.
This act began paving the way for their exceedingly successful career. Originally
the team
was composed of Larry, Moe and Shemp. However, Shemp left for a career in more serious
movies. When Shemp left Curly took his place. Shemp's clumsy character returned in 1964
