视野·新知你还想对其他有成就的妇女做进一步的了解吗?你想知道美国最有名的女脱口秀主持人吗?
那就仔细读下面这篇文章吧!
Oprah Winfrey revolutionized the talk show market with her unique and natural style and rose to become
the host of the most watched daytime show on television, which boasts 22 million viewers daily (three-fourths
of whom are women).She is the first African American to own her own TV studio. The multitalented Winfrey
is also a millionaire businesswoman, a talented actress, owner of a movie production company, and committed
philanthropist(慈善家).
"I was taught to read at an early age. By the time I was three, I was reciting speeches in the church.
They'd put me up on the program, and say, 'Little Mistress Winfrey will render a recitation,' and I would do
'Jesus rose on Easter Day, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, all the angels did proclaim.'"
Oprah Winfrey's public speaking career began in 1957.At three, she was speaking in church, by her teens
she was touring the churches of Nashville, reciting the sermons of James Weldon Johnson. Other children
sang, Oprah talked. And she's still talking -but to much larger audiences. The path that led from her
grandmother's farm in Kosciusko, Mississippi to becoming the first African-American woman billionaire is a
story of unwavering (不动摇的) focus and unrelenting (不屈不挠的) determination.
Taught to read by her grandmother at an age when most children are only learning to talk, Oprah became a
voracious (如饥似渴的) reader-a habit she retains to this day. Books became her outlet to the world and the
basis of her passionate belief in education. An actress of nomination. Some call her lucky, but Oprah Winfrey
doesn't believe in luck. She believes"luck is preparation meeting opportunity." Her rise from reading the news on a small radio station to being the first woman in history to own and produce her own television talk show proves her point.
A seeker of truth in herself and in others, her empathy (执著), honesty, and love of people have made her
one of the most beloved women in America; a teacher who educates a devoted audience about subjects as
varied as sexual abuse, divorce, children's issues, and countless other important subjects; a close friend who
visits over 20 million homes a day.

Mona Lisa’s Missing Necklace
蒙娜·丽莎失去的项链
蒙娜·丽莎是意大利著名画家达·芬奇的代表作，几百年来人们对蒙娜·丽莎那迷人的微笑争论不休。而美国人利用现代技术对该画进行扫描得出的结果更令人困惑，为这一名画增添了又一种神秘色彩。你知道这是什么吗?
A camera and a computer can “see” something that perhaps millions of pairs of eyes failed to see for 480 years：the Mona Lisa's lost necklace．The discovery about the famous painting was made by an American physicist in 1986．
The Mona Lisa，painted by the Italian，Leonardo da Vinci，has been on show for many years in Paris．Now，a row of white spots on the neck have been “seen”．They are said to be the remains of a necklace which the artist later painted over．
The painting will be examined further by using infrared scanning techniques．Laser technology can be used to show what lies directly under the surface of the finished work，too．This will help us to understand how the artist drew the picture．Did he begin with a quick-made drawing or have second thoughts as he painted the picture?
This kind of knowledge will show us the famous artist at work．It may also help to explain Mona Lisa's smile，which has puzzled art lovers for centuries．
