For more than two decades, Oprah Winfrey has been the change-your-life champion who ruled over daytime television much like Johnny Caron once ruled late night.
However, now she’s ready to say goodbye, Wimfrey told viewers Friday that The Oprah Winfrey Show would close in September 2011 after 25 years on the air.
“I love this show. This show has been my life. And I love it enough to know when it’s time to say goodbye,” Winfrey said, holding back tears.
Winfrey’s show “is one of daytime television’s very foundations,” said Larry Gerbrandt an analyst for the firm Media Valuation Partners in Los Angeles. “Stations build their schedules around her. They gave it the best time period and used it to promote other shows.”
Winfrey offered no specific plans for the future, except to say that she intended to produce the best possible shows during the final two years.
“I just wanted to say whether you’ve been here with me from the beginning or you joined me last week, I want you all to know that my relationship with you is one that I hold very dear,” she said. “Your trust in me and the sharing of your precious time every day with me have brought me the greatest joy I have ever known.”
The Oprah Winfrey Show’s open atmosphere and frank conversation determined the talk show style and made Winfrey one of the most influential women in the US as well as the wealthiest black woman in the world.
“She has had great effects on today’s society. She’s just part of every one’s life,” said Yasmeen Elhaj, a 19-year-old student from Chicago.

A. Winfrey’s Contributions to TV Show

B. Winfrey will have some other specific plan for the future.
C. Winfred does promote some other shows after her retirement.
D. Winfrey appreciates every moment she has with her viewers.

When you need a job very much, you may end up taking one for which you are over qualified. Although you were initially grateful just to have the work, you now feel bored and depressed. Is there any way to change that?
Start by changing your opinion, says Caitlin Kelly, the author of Malled, a book based on her experience as a sales clerk after losing her job in journalism. “Don’t focus on what you’re not getting but what you are getting,” she says. “Be patient and work attentively with a wide range of people. It doesn’t matter what the job is –there are always things you can learn and skills you can develop.”
Hilary Pearl, the founder of a coaching firm, says, “Tell yourself the current situation isn’t the end of your career. Don’t overdramatize（過分夸大）the negative aspects but try to view the situation more philosophically: life has a series of stages, and this is one of them. Don’t forget to study even in the worst stage.”
Consider that because you’re overqualified, you may be able to learn or do things on the job that might not have been possible in a more demanding position, says Sarah Hathorn, the chief executive of Illustra Consulting. “You could spend your extra time in learning different aspects of the business and teaching others in the organization,” she says.
Is it possible to make your work more challenging, even if your job responsibilities aren’t likely to change?
Of course, you may seek tasks and responsibilities that force you to learn something new or to work harder. “You may be operating on autopilot（習(xí)慣性地）right now, but chances are that people above you are stressed,” Sarah Hathorn says. “Take things off your boss’s plate and let him know which projects or tasks you want to learn more about.”
Always express your request positively, saying that you love new challenges, rather than complaining that you’re bored and underused, says Ethun, the president of the Park Avenue Group. In your down time, educate yourself about the company and its industry. “Read corporate information, analyst reports and related news articles,” she says. “If your boss accepts your suggestions, it will make you a more valuable employee.”
【小題1】According to Caitlin Kelly, ______.

A．one should be willing to do some small things
B．being a salesman is not as important as being a journalist
C．performing your regular duties well is important
D．doing a simple job well will bring you a sense of success
【小題2】What Hilary Pearl intends to express is that ______.
A．work is just a stage of our whole life
B．the present job doesn’t matter to us in a long run
C．one should be satisfied with his present situation
D．one should look forward instead of complaining about the present situation
【小題3】The underlined words “take things off your boss’s plate” mean______.
A．draw your boss’s attentionB．share your boss’s burdens
C．give your boss useful adviceD．a(chǎn)sk your boss for a better position
【小題4】 What is the common view about careers of the people mentioned in this passage?
A．One should start his career from doing a simple job.
B．One should improve himself and help others as well.
C．One should keep learning new things to improve himself.
D．One should pay much attention to the relationship with the boss.

On the day Apple debuted the often-delayed white-colored iPhone 4, the company's marketing department gave a nod to the product's troubled history．

"Finally．" read the big headline Thursday above a picture of the white phone on the homepage of Apple．com．

The white model was supposed to ship alongside the black one at the iPhone 4's launch（推出） last June．But design and manufacturing complications delayed the process by 10 months, catching Apple off guard, executives say．

As CNN reported last month, earlier test models of the white iPhone 4 produced unclear photos, especially when the flash（閃光燈） was used．Its whiteness confused the proximity sensor （距離傳感器） , which detects when the phone is held next to someone's head and turns off the touch screen to save battery life．

These problems weren't present in older iPhones that came in white because they didn't have flash photography; the proximity sensor was unaffected because the front side of previous models was black．

"We thought we were there a year ago, or less than that, when we launched the iPhone 4, and we weren't," Philip Schiller, Apple's chief marketing executive, said in an interview．"It's not as simple as making something white．There's a lot more that goes into both the material science of it —how it holds up over time…but also in how it all works with the sensors．"

Ticonderoga Securities analyst Brian White predicts that the white model could help drive sales of Apple's phones．He says Apple could sell 1 million to 1．5 million every three months until the next iPhone model is unveiled, which is expected to be this fall．

Forty-five people were lined up at Apple's flagship New York store Thursday morning to buy white iPhones, according to a CNN Money report．

1.The reason why white-colored iPhone 4 was delayed by 10 months is that _______．

    A．it's always sold out due to its popularity

    B．it met some problems concerning design and manufacture

    C．it lacked white manufacturing materials

    D．its proximity sensor can't save battery life

2.According to the passage, which of the following statements is TRUE?

    A．There are multi-colored models of iPhone 4．

    B．The same design problems were also found in older white iPhones．

    C．IPhone4 will be launched this fall．

    D．Originally designers thought they could solve the problems before iPhone 4 was launched．

3.What would be the best title for this passage?

    A．Why the White iPhone 4 Took So Long

    B．The History of iPhone 4

    C．The Attraction of White iPhone 4

    D．The Design and Manufacture of iPhone 4
