One of the most important things that has happened to me occurred long before I was aware of it. As the story goes, I was three days old and Mom was singing “The Name Game” song to me: “Christine Bo-Bean.” By day four, I was given a new name —Christine-Bo-Bean, or just Bo-Bee to my mother.

Now, I am Bo to her and close friends. Although I have been Bo to my mother all my life, I recently discovered that my true name is not on my birth certificate; it’s the name that is as unique and memorable as I am.

People usually know me as Christine. They still see me as a quiet, bookish child. They don’t know who I am now. My most recent hopes, fears, goals, dreams and opinions escape their notice; it is easier to think of me as I was. In their minds, they have a box labeled “Christine” in which I fit neatly, and as Christine, I was content with the perfect packaging.

Those who call me Bo or Bo-Bee really know me. They remember who I was and realize I have changed. The Bo I am is ever-changing, ever-growing and ever-learning.

When I was Christine, I was quiet, and easily scared. I feared groups, meeting new people and sharing my opinions. I was more comfortable with a book than my best friend. As Christine, I thought everyone was better than I was.

As Bo, I still love my books, but I want to discuss them. As Bo, my dream is to live where I can experience new things and meet new people. I dream about being alone on a stage lit by a single spotlight; I have that confidence now. I am equal to those I once saw as better than me.

I can’t always be Bo. Sometimes exposing myself is still scary and I feel too nervous; I want to hide in those old boxes. Mostly, however, I am ready for the world. So, just call me Bo.

Just like everyone, I have experienced ups and downs in my life. I am an aerospace engineer from India, I was told by my relatives, close friends and others that it was hard for a non-IT student to pursue a master's degree in IT and graduate from a US university.

I had never taken courses related to computers or programming. I was never interested in being a programmer, but things changed. I became so fascinated with the convenience IT has brought to our life that I made up my mind in chasing a master's degree in IT.

At first, I came across too many difficulties and setbacks. Coming from a middle-class family, the huge cost per credit was a big issue. My English accent was terrible. Most importantly, the course seemed impossible at first. Although I felt so discouraged and frustrated, I never thought of giving up.

Then I decided to choose my university because it promised its students to help them learn practically. During my first month, it was difficult to understand the Americans' accent and finish my assignments. But I never gave in. I walked two miles to the university every day so that I could use my travel money to buy a meal. I started looking for jobs and I got an offer to work as a student assistant, which meant lifting benches and chairs every day.

I took all these challenges as my chances, and I believed that hard work was my strength. Right now I am graduating with a GPA of 3.96/4 and a job offer from a multinational company that has asked me to start right after graduation.

When you have a dream to realize, there is nothing that can stop you. All you need is the diligence and persistence. Hard work always pays off. Having a determined will is also necessary.

The Iranian-American Maz Jobrani knew early in life that he wanted to become an actor or a comedian. Jobrani came to California with his parents from Iran when he was six and attended school there. His introduction to acting was an experience of trying out for a school play. “When I was 12, I tried out for the school play and fell in love with the stage...” said Jobrani, “I have friends who were funnier than I was!”
       Jobrani tried an ordinary career path, studying political science in college and even starting a Ph.D. Program at UCLA. But the comedy of Eddie Murphy was a more powerful influence. “I’m a comedian because I’m a fan of comedy. I love watching comedy and I believe I discovered Eddie Murphy probably by watching “Saturday Night Live” and just then I wanted to be like Eddie Murphy,” Jobrani said.
       Now as a full-time comedian, Maz Jobrani uses comedy to bridge the cultural divide. His performances both laugh at extremism and challenge American bias(偏见)of Muslims. And his recent movie does the same. He co-wrote and started in “Jimmy Vestvood: American Hero.”
       “The movie is about a man who loves America, who wins the green card coming to America from Iran. He wants to be a policeman. But once he comes to America, he realizes America doesn’t accept immigrants(移民)the way he thought they would and the only job he can find is working as a security guard(保安)and from there he has to go on to save the world.”
       “This comedy has a message of showing Iranians in a very different light, a fun light that most Americans aren’t used to seeing,” he said. For example, he feared when he first heard the phrase “axis of evil,” which is used to describe such countries as Iran. But he soon realized it could also make a great name for a series of shows. So, in 2005, the “Axis of Evil Comedy” Tour came. The shows featured Jobrani and three other comedians of Middle Eastern descent(血统).The group first appeared on the American television channel Comedy Central.
       It’s a good feeling when you realize it’s working. It’s the worst when you’re doing stand-up (单人说笑表演的)comedy and the audience doesn’t relate to you. But their laugh is like a drug keeping feeding you. It’s kind of like I were surfing. So whether it’s doing stand-up comedy or putting on a movie, your goal as a comedian is to make people laugh.
【小题1】By introducing his comedian career, Jobrani tends to tell us that ________.

A．he is actually a born comedian

B．Americans’ lifestyle makes him a comedian

C．Eddie Murphy has a great influence on him

D．Murphy’s plays made him first like comedy

A．It is all about his personal experiences.

B．It is about Iranians who are against Americans.

C．It mainly plays a joke on the US immigrant policy.

D．It makes fun of American bias of Muslims.

【小题3】What do you learn about the “Axis of Evil Comedy” Tour?

A．It turns what’s frightening into something funny.

B．It is performed by Jobrani and two Iranians.

C．It blames the US’ unfriendly attitude to Iran.

D．It didn’t work well at the very beginning.

【小题4】To comedians, ________.

A．stand-up comedy is difficult to perform.

B．the audience’s laughter is their power.

C．doing stand-up comedy is just like surfing.

D．they have a long journey to become famous

This 13-year-old just did the bravest thing ever. Or shall I say, two bravest things…Paris Harvey not only hit back at her bullies(欺凌)but she did so by facing her biggest fear-putting on her bathing suit in public.

The Kent-based teenager suffers from a metabolic (新陈代谢的)condition, which means she gains weight quickly and struggles to lose it. She was also born with dysplasia, so her left leg is 1. 5 cm shorter than her right and she has pins in her joint（关节）which cause her not to walk as other children. These two conditions lead to people calling her fat and mocking her for " walking like a penguin".

"I got bullied in the past and after a while, you start to believe what people say. I became really unsure about how 1 looked," said Paris. "I can be eating the same food as the next person but I gain weight. It's not like I'm sitting at home all day eating potato chips. But I felt like I shouldn't have to explain myself. "

So, over Bank Holiday Weekend, Paris decided Io finally face her biggest fear-putting on her bathing suit at the beach. And guess what? She not only faced her fear but she embraced （拥抱）it too by taking pictures and posting them on Twitter! The pictures went popular with over 337K likes on Twitter. Even though Paris did receive negative comments from people saying she was “promoting obesity" , she chose to "focus on the support because hate is nothing compared to love". "I feel like we should embrace who we are," Paris said. "I'm not making myself a model but 1 want to show people that it doesn't matter what size you are-you are born into that body.
