"Yes," she answered, still looking at the floor "And you?" "Yes I do," he replied "You see, in heaven at the birth of each boy, the Lord announces which girl he will marry When I was born, my future bride was pointed out to me Then the Lord added, 'But your wife will be humpbacked Right then and there I called out, 'Oh Lord, a humpbacked woman would be a tragedy Please, Lord, give me the hump and let her be beautiful.'" Then Frumtje looked up into his eyes and was stirred by some deep memory She reached out and gave Mendelssohn her hand and later became his devoted wife In love the paradox occurs that two beings become one and yet remain two V DEVELOPING YOUR VOCABULARY: Cohabitation (n): sống thử Sacrifice (v): hy sinh Interpersonal (adj): cá nhân với Associated (adj): kết hợp, kết giao Lust for (n): thèm khát, ham muốn Lust (v) :thèm khát, ham muốn Infatuation (n): làm mê đắm, mê tít Engaged (adj): đính ước, đính VI SUGGESTED IDEAS: Page of 65 In love, we never has room for failure If you not have the luck to be responded to love - that does not mean that you were lost When in love with one of his heart, I will never tasted Most people in over the world think that love is everything It‘s true All of them can‘t live without love We always need someone next to me, take care of you, encourage, and share all sadness or happiness And that person is my girlfriend or boyfriend even husband or wife Therefore, love is never end and it always a popular topic which many composers and writer use for their works Love is a strong feeling that you have when you like somebody so much Love is a feeling of a strong affection and attraction for somebody There are some feelings of love: sad, fun, missing, angry, jealous, happy, upset, and so on Love is something you can't really explain It's something that's just special and personal, and not the same as any other two people's For me, love is waking up in the morning, and sleeping at night with him on my mind It's feeling like he's the only person in the world worth looking at, it's melting at the sound of his voice or his laugh, and the little smile on his face when you something stupid It's always having him on your mind, and always missing him when you're not with him, and not wanting to be with anyone else It's like, feeling butterflies in your stomach every time you see them and feeling like the most special girl in the world knowing someone as perfect as him would look at you twice, and tell you he loves you It's so much more than that, but I can't explain how it feels But whatever it is, it's both the best and the worst thing in the world Love is when you feel like nothing else in the world matters but this person Love is when this person is always on your mind and pops up in your head at the most random times Love is when you don't think you could live without this person in your life Love is happiness Love is something that one does not have a form, but it makes us feel happy or miserable It can connect two strange people together LOVE is the most easiest and childish way to express deep feelings LOVE is interpersonal relationship with romantic overtones Interpersonal love is most closely associated with interpersonal relationships Such love might exist between family members, friends, and couples You can give without loving, but you can never love without giving Sacrificial love requires that we give what we value most: our hearts, minds, souls, and strength Real love does not always follow our natural inclinations; it is not an impulse from feelings Love is something we crave, something we want, and when we have it, we're full of joy, it seems like our life is perfect When that love is torn away from us, our mood goes down into the darkest pit, we feel miserable and it hurts as hell VII QUESTIONS TO DISCUSS: What is love?

That is a result of training themselves seriously In fact, they are who have their abilities and they devote those abilities to their society, community Next, why can they make a new fad and trend? We realize that we often imitate the habits, the styles of celebrities because we love them, we are their fans Maybe we want to like Page 60 of 65 them That is the reason why the well-known people become more and more famous Let's me discover their interesting things then! The golden age of celebrity rumors may be coming to an end As Britney Spears spreads her legs to the world and Nicole Richie gets arrested driving north in the southbound lane, truth may at last have outstripped semi-fiction Today's celebrities have so little left to hide But fear not, scandal-mongers! The past remains a bottomless well of salacity In tribute, we present our picks for the forty best celebrity rumors ever Dive in But be careful This stuff doesn't wash off Kiddie idols meet grisly end Did you hear that Mark-Paul Gosselaar and Mario Lopez (Zack and Slater from Saved by the Bell) died in a car accident? You may have around 1993, when rumors of the stars' demise spread like wildfire across the nation's middle schools (We won't implicate our middle school by name, but we did have an honest-toGod moment of silence in English class.) Of course, the stars of Saved by the Bell are all doing fine, and have gone on to lucrative careers in amateur porn (Dustin Diamond), amateur dancing (Mario Lopez), and amateur porn-dancing (Elizabeth Berkeley) But the public's thirst for grisly death rumors about beloved stars has not been sated; in 1999, Blue's Clues host Steve Burns suffered a "heroin overdose," and just a month ago Tom Hanks "fell off a cliff." — Gwynne Watkins 39 J Edgar Hoover cross-dressed FBI director J Edgar Hoover was such a mean sonof-a-bitch it's no surprise that people whispered about him Rumors that Hoover was gay or a crossdresser have circulated for decades; one claim comes from Anthony Summers' 1993 biography Official and Confidential: The Secret Life of J Edgar Hoover Susan Rosenstiel, the ex-wife of liquor-industry chair Lewis Rosenstiel, claimed she had seen Hoover in a dress, stockings, heels and wig at a party hosted by gadfly lawyer Roy Cohn This seems fairly unlikely; historian Athan Theoharis notes that anyone as secretive and power-obsessed as Hoover would never have been so blatant about a predilection that could be embarrassing We may never know the truth — Peter Smith Page 61 of 65 38 Milton Berle had the biggest penis in Hollywood You can die satisfied when your enormous penis has been mentioned, even tangentially, in the New Yorker Milton Berle got just that honor, though he'd already kicked off; a 2002 story about the Friars Club memorial roast of Berle features Freddie Roman remarking, "We are here to honor Milton Berle, who passed away on March 27th On May 1st and May 2nd, his penis will be buried." The New Yorker story is a fitting homage to Berle's colossal member, which for many years was, indeed, the talk of the town Berle and the big penis shared many adventures; most famously, writer Alan Zweibel alleged that Berle had shown him his penis during rehearsals for his infamous Saturday Night Live appearance Zweibel confirmed the penis's large size 37 Stevie Nicks' alternate cocaine-delivery method Supposedly, Fleetwood Mac's gypsy songstress, hoping to spare her vocal cords from her severe blow habit, got a little help from a coke-strawbearing groupie Nicks tends to be pretty forthright about her history of cocaine abuse, and she denies this story But that doesn't mean that it didn't happen We all know "Gold Dust Woman" was autobiographical, but maybe the phrase "roadie blowing coke up my ass" didn't fit the rhyme scheme — PS 36 Marisa Tomei won an Oscar by mistake Many critics have their complaints about Marisa Tomei's Best Supporting Actress win for My Cousin Vinny in 1992 — so many, in fact, that a rumor materialized to explain it According to lore, the presenter of the award, Jack Palance, couldn't read Vanessa Redgrave's name on the envelope and blurted out the name of the last nominee he had announced: Tomei Other versions claim Palance uttered the wrong name because he was too stoned to know better, or because he had a crush on Tomei Journalist Steve Pond, who covers the Oscars for Premiere, addresses the story directly in his book, Page 62 of 65 The Big Show: High Times and Dirty Dealings Backstage at the Academy Awards He writes that PricewaterhouseCoopers representatives "have very clear instructions that if a presenter opens the envelope and says the wrong name, they are to walk on stage, stop the show and announce the correct winner." Tomei quieted the chatter (somewhat) by receiving another nomination for In the Bedroom in 2001 — Kristin Gangwer 35 Walt Disney is cryogenically frozen beneath the Pirates of the Caribbean According to rumors, Uncle Walt was many things besides the father of Mickey Mouse: a Nazi, an antiSemite, a communist The most persistent tale, though, is that Disney was so obsessed with immortality that he made arrangements to have himself cryogenically frozen after death Ever since Disney shuffled off this mortal coil in 1966, popular myth has found him frozen beneath the Pirates of the Caribbean ride in California's Disneyland Two biographies, Marc Eliot's Walt Disney: Hollywood's Dark Prince and Leonard Mosley's Disney's World, have kept this rumor alive and kicking But though cryogenic freezing was a popular topic in the late '50s and early '60s, there's no evidence whatsoever that Disney had any specific interest or even knowledge of cryogenics, outside of dodgy anecdotal evidence Who knows? Maybe one day Disney will be re-animated and will go on to rule the world with his legions of cartoon anthropomorphs enforcing his terrible will We've seen Epcot Center It's possible — John Constantine Page 63 of 65 34 Prince Harry's father is not Prince Charles It was clear — and tacitly accepted — that after only a few years of marriage, Prince Charles and Princess Diana were cheating on each other Prince Harry was born in September 1984, and after the public glimpsed his puglike features and red hair, rumors began to circulate that he was the product of Diana's affair with army officer Major James Hewitt Diana publicly admitted her liaison in 1995, but insisted that she met Hewitt too late for him to be Harry's father Hewitt too claims that he first met Diana in May of 1986, when Harry was twenty months old Simone Simmons, a former close friend of the Princess, wrote Diana: The Last Word, a book serialized in The Sun In it, she clamed that Diana was forced to carry out paternity tests on both Harry and his brother, Prince William The tests reportedly showed that both boys were fathered by Prince Charles — Catrinel Bartolomeu 33 Napoleon's Bonaparte is a collector's item A number of famous penises are said to be floating about the world, having various adventures long after their owners went toes-up John Dillinger's is said to be in the Smithsonian, and the Russian Museum of Erotica proudly boasts Rasputin's But the Holy Grail of infamous dongs is that of Napoleon Bonaparte Bonaparte's autopsy was performed in 1821 by his personal doctor, in the presence of seventeen witnesses, including seven British doctors and a priest Organs removed from Napoleon included his heart, which he requested be delivered to his wife, and his stomach, which the assembled experts agreed was ridden with cancer and the cause of Napoleon's demise Accounts of the autopsy claim the penis was small (guy couldn't catch a break), but there's no mention of its removal In 1916, the priest's descendants sold off a collection of Naploeonic relics that included "the mummified tendon taken from Napoleon's body Page 64 of 65 during the post-mortem." The memento has since changed hands a number of times; the latest story is that American urologist John Lattimer bought it at auction in 1977 Lattimer defends its authenticity today, but it's hard to disagree with Sir Arthur Keith's 1913 argument that, given the number of witnesses at the autopsy, someone probably would have noticed if his penis went missing — JC QUESTION: 1.Who is a celebrity?

CONCLUSION: In short, each person has an idol yourself Sometimes, the works bring us the entertainment, the relaxation and sometimes it has some bad factors which influence on us We should have the selection intelligently for ourselves If you are a person who has a lot of the ambitions, celebrity is what you want On the contrary, if you satisfy with your life, being a normal person is the happiest thing for you Trust me!
