For this month's Young World magazine，I interviewed 19﹣year﹣old Asian pop star Candy Wang．Candy told me that she used to be really shy and took up singing to deal with her （66） （shy）．Now she's not shy anymore and enioys （67） （sing） in front of crowds．
I asked Candy how life was diffierent after she became famous．She explained that there are many good things，like being able （68） （travel） and meet new poople all the time，"I didn't use to be popular in school，but now I get tons of attention everywhere I go"（69） （however），too much attention can also be a bad thing，"I always have to worry about how I appear to others，and I never dare to be （70） （care）about what I say or do．And I have much （71） （little） private time now because there are always guards around me．"
What does Candy have to say to all （72） （that）young people who want to become famous？"Well，"she begins（73） （slow），"you have to be prepared to give up your normal life．You can never imagine how dificult the road to success is．Many times I （74） （think） about giving up，but I fought on．You really require a lot of talent and hard （75） （work） to succeed．Only a very small number of people make it to the top"．
I grew up in a small town in Italy． One morning my dad told me to drive him to a village，about 18 miles（1） ． Then he asked me to take the car to a nearby garage for a service（保养）． Thinking that I just had my driving license， and I hardly had the （2） _____ /tʃaːns / to use the car， I agreed happily． Then I drove to the garage and （3） _____ （drop） off the car． Because there were still a few hours left， I decided to watch movies at a theatre near the garage． But I was two hours late when the last movie finished．
Dad could never let me drive again （4） he knew what I did． So when I drove to the place where we had planned to meet and saw Dad waiting patiently on the corner． I told him that I came as （5） （quick） as I could． I was late because the car needed some （6） /'s peʃl/ repairs．
"I'm very sorry that you told me a lie， Jason．
"What do you mean， Dad？ I'm telling the （7）t ． "
"I called the garage to ask if there were any problems．I'm angry not with you but with（8）m ．I've failed as a father， so I'll walk home now and think it over．"
I begged all the way，telling him how sorry 1 was．But nothing helped． I had to drive （9） /b ɪ′haɪnd/ him for 18 miles．
It was one of the most（10） （pain） moments in my life． But it was the best lesson．
