2、Lavigne, who married in July 2006, set foot in film with Fast Food Nation and The Flock, before releasing her chart-topping third album（专辑）The Best Damn Thing. Despite her punk rock pose and her occasionally impolite public behavior, singer Avril Lavigne is sure sensitive about one thing—her reputation .
In an open letter on her official web site, Lavigne responds to public views that her hit single”
“Girlfriend,” from her 1atest album The Best Damn Thing, was copied from a 1979 song called “I Wanna Be Your Boyfriend” by a new wave group called the Rubinoos. The group’s songwriters, Tommy Dunbar and James Gangwer, have gone to 1aw against the singer. “I had never heard this song in my life and their claim is based on 5 words,” Lavigne blogs. “All songs share similar song words and emotions. As humans we speak one language.” In fact, Lavigne 1ists several songs, which are similar in words. “Simply, I have been falsely accused of copying their song. I have done nothing wrong and there is no sense of their claim,” she writes.
The Rubinoos’ accusation is not the first time that Lavigne’s song－writing practices have been called into question. In a recent interview with Performing Song-writing Magazine, Canadian singer—songwriter Chantal Kreviazuk discusses cooperating with Lavigne. And she tells the magazine that she gave Lavigne the song “Contagious”, which. she claims，appears on The Best Damn Thing. On the album，however, the song is owned only by Lavigne and the song－writing partner Evan Taubenfeld.
“I was going to be a bigger person and not reply when I read Chantal Kreviazuk’s article,” Lavigne writes. “Our songs have no similarities or opposite meanings, i. e. different words, different tunes, different styles. There are hundreds of songs out there with the title ‘Contagious’.” Lavigne adds: “I am not going to sit here and defend my writing skil1s. I don’t have to prove anything to anyone. I know who I am and what I have done and succeeded in and no one can take that away from me.”

38、Alfred Korzybski believes that all human beings lead a kind of double life. First, people live in an internal (内在的) world of ideas, feelings, etc. The happenings in this world are patterns of events in the human nervous system . Secondly , people live in a world outside their skins, the external(外在的)world of “reality”. The happenings in this world are patterns of events best known to science.
The first world, the patterns of events inside our skins, Korzybski called the INTEN- SIONAL areA．The second, the patterns of events outside our skins, he called the EXTEN- SIONAL area . Think for a moment about the two worlds in which you live. Look , for example, at the following diagram:
INTENSIONAL PATTERNS EXTENSIONAL PATTERNS

The word "cat ". A pattern of physical and
The image of this cat. chemical events best
Ideas about cats. known to science.
Feelings about cats.
Physical tensions aroused
by the cat: the urge to
pick it up, to kick it, etc.

He believed that too many people mistake the events in their own nervous systems for events in the outside world . When they get lost in a strange city , more often than not they are angry at the map they use. In fact, it’s the maps of words in their heads that are to blame.
