It all began with…Orlando Bloom was not a“good”student in school.Because of dyslexia, a reading and writing disorder(障碍), he struggled in many courses.
But Bloom says the dyslexia gave him the encouragement to overcome(克服)his difficulties.
In an interview with the Telegraph, the 32-year-old said the condition turned him into an ambitious person.“Because of the dyslexia, I always thought I had to work twice as hard as everyone else just to go the same distance,”he said.“That gave me a real kick as a kid and a lot of encouragement later on.In one sense, I guess that I'm grateful(感激的).”
Bloom is always preparing it thoroughly(充分地)when it comes to an audition(试镜)for a part.Perhaps this is what won him his role in the Lord of the Rings, a highly successful film trilogy(三部曲).“I really prepared it thoroughly for the audition and it's paid off,”he said.
It was the beginning of a fame that led to even greater success as a movie actor.But unlike some young people who aim for fame and fortune, Bloom believed an acting career“has been fulfilling(实现)his childhood fantasies”.
“Aged 9, I had this girlfriend and we used to have running races in the park to see who would be her boyfriend for the day.I wanted to be like Superman and fly in and rescue her.Once I realized Superman was an actor, I thought,‘That's for me’.”
Bloom has always played special characters, like a knight(骑士)and a prince.It's difficult to picture him in everyman roles.
In October, Bloom was named Goodwill Ambassador(亲善大使)for the United Nations Children's Fund(UNICEF).His first task will be to film a documentary about the importance of clean water supplies.
In fact, Bloom started work for the UNICEF in 2007.On his first visit to Nepal, he was asked by students to take a small part in a play they were performing on local radio.

(Reuters) - A U.N. climate deal due to be agreed in Copenhagen at talks from December 7-18 may fall short of a legally binding(有约束力的) agreement. If Copenhagen fails to live up to hopes of a strong agreement to slow global warming, what are the reasons and who risks blame? The following are some of the candidates:
● Decline in economy distracted(分散) focus from climate change after the world agreed in Bali, Indonesia, in 2007 to work out a new U.N. agreement by December 2009. Rich nations have put billions of dollars into green growth as part of recovery packages but, when unemployment at home is high, find it hard to promise extra money for developing countries. The slowdown in industrial output means a brief fix -- greenhouse gas emissions(排放) are likely to fall by as much as 3 percent this year.
● Many delegates at U.N. talks have given up hope that the United States, the number two emitter after China, will agree legislation(立法, 法律) to limit carbon emissions before Copenhagen. The US is the only industrialized nation outside the Kyoto Protocol(京都协议书) for cutting greenhouse emissions until 2012. Many countries welcomed President Barack Obama's promises of doing more to fight climate change when he took office in January but hoped for swifter action.
● Developing nations accuse the rich of repeatedly failing to keep promises of more aid. Few developed countries live up to a target agreed by the U.N. General Assembly in 1970 to give 0.7 percent of their gross domestic product in development aid. Other plans, such as the Agenda 21 environmental development plan agreed in 1992, have fallen short.
● Most rich nations are promising cuts in greenhouse gas emissions well short of the 25-40 percent below 1990 levels by 2020, which are needed to avoid the worst of climate change. Overall cuts promised by developed nations total between 11 and 15 percent. Best offers by countries including Japan, the European Union, Australia and Norway would reach the range.
● More than 90 percent of the growth in emissions between now and 2030 is set to come from developing nations -- with almost 50 percent from China alone, U.S. climate envoy Todd Stern said this week. "No country holds the fate of the earth more in its hands than China. Not one," he said. China and India say they are slowing the growth of emissions but raising living standards is more important. So burning more energy is unavoidable -- as industrialized nations have done for 200 years.
● 2008 was the 10th warmest year since records began in the mid-19th century. The warmest was 1998, when a strong El Nino event in the eastern Pacific disrupted(使混乱) weather worldwide. That has led some to argue that global warming is slowing even though the U.N.'s WMO(世界气象组织) says a long-term warming trend is unchanged.
● People have been slow in changing lifestyles to use less carbon. Simple choices like taking more public transport, using less heating or air conditioning, even changing light bulbs can help if millions of people act.(508)
Who's to blame if U.N. climate deal falls short?
Possible candidates | Supporting Details |
___71___downturn | ● Faced with the______72____ rising unemployment, rich countries fail to give more aid to developing ones. ●____73_____industrial output brings about a temporary relief from the pressure of greenhouse gas emissions. |
United States | ● It’s the only industrialized country outside the Kyoto Protocol. ● Immediate____74____ was expected to be taken by President Obama to fight climate change. |
Rich-Poor divide | ● Developed nations are____75____ by the poor for repeatedly breaking promises of aid. |
Developed nations | ● There is a huge ____76____between the overall cuts promised by developed nations and those required to avoid climate catastrophe. |
Developing nations | ● The increase in emissions from developing nations ____77____for 90% between now and 2030. ● Developing nations need to give ___78____to raising living standards by burning more energy. |
The weather | ● The worldwide disorder caused by El Nino has ____79____some people into believing that global warming is slowing. |
The public | ● People should be ____80____ to change lifestyles to use less carbon. |
