Star talks of better half

  The British film star Hugh Grant can't seem to work out what women want.

  “There's no girl who only wants bastards (伙计), and no girl who wants a nice guy (伙计). Women want both,” the British star tells the May issue of Talk magazine.

  “And, really, they'd like to alternate (交替) on a weekly basis. Can any man be both? I like to keep women guessing.”

  Since Grant's breakup last year with his longtime girlfriend Elizabeth Hurley, the thought of plunging into (投身于) another big relationship doesn't seem like it's in the cards.

  “How easy do you think it is to find someone you can share 14 years of personal jokes with? Not easy. And I don't know that I will,” he says.

  Still, the 40 - year- old star admits he can't help thinking that his clock is ticking.

  “In the end, I want to have kids (children). But in the back of my mind, I never wanted to have kids until I'd done something I'm proud ofwirtten a book, had my name on something really worthwhile,” he says.

  “I'm so determined not to be in front of the cameras anymore.”

  With all of these concerns (心思) inside, has Grant ever considered seeing a psychiatrist to sort things out?

  “I don't think I need therapy (治疗), thank you,” sniffs the star.

  “I'm frightened of those people. And more than that, I don't want to know what lies beneath.”

1.Judging from what Hugh Grant says, the film star may consider himself ________.

  One of the greatest stories of rags(贫穷)to riches success is that of Andrew Carnegie, who started life in poverty but became the richest man in the world.

  Carnegie was born in Scotland in 1837, the son of a weaver.In 1848, the family moved to the United States and at 13 Carnegie began work in a cotton mill, earning $1.5 per week.About three years later, he found a better job as a telegraph messenger boy.At work, his superiors(上级)were impressed by his abilities and willingness to work hard.In 1853, he gained an office job at the Pennsylvania Railroad Company.This was his first big break.He continued to impress and rose rapidly through the company, gaining more and more responsibility.At the same time, Carnegie loved reading very much and made use of every opportunity to visit the library.He read widely on all subjects, particularly literature.

  Carnegie now began to save a little money and, with the help of his employer, began to make some successful investments.He invested in the iron industry and eventually set up in business himself, owning several iron and steel plants.This was where he made his fortune.By the 1890s, the Carnegie Steel Company was the biggest and most profitable business in the world.

  Carnegie had always believed that the pursuit(追求)of wealth was never an end in itself.In his view, successful, wealthy people should re-distribute their wealth for the benefit of everyone in society.True to his word, in 1901, at the age of 66, he retired from business and devoted the rest of his life to charity work.(奉献于慈善工作).

  Carnegie's lack of formal education and his poor family background clearly didn't put barriers in the way of success.His rapid rise from poverty to wealth was due to his willingness to work hard, his intelligence and good business sense, and his talent for making things happen.He died in 1919 at the age of 83.
