It's been a long journey. From DJ to producer to singer, Mark Ronson is now a pop star in his own right.
On Feb 15, his hit song Uptown Funk won Record of the Year, one of the most important prizes, at the 2016 Grammy Awards.
While the world has gone crazy for the song, Ronson, 40, went through six difficult months to produce it. In fact, the UK musician made 17 versions (版本) of Uptown, Funk.
In an interview with the Daily Mail, Ronson told the UK newspaper that he worked so hard that his hair started to fall out. At one point, the stress of trying to come up with a suitable guitar part even caused him to f'aint (暈倒) in a restaurant.
The difficulties didn't stop there. Ronson also didn't have enough confidence in his singing, as he had been a producer for a long time. "I work with great singers," he told the New York Post, "so I've always heard what really good voices sound like. "
Still, things worked out great in the end.
His family plays an important part in his success. His stepfather guitarist Mick Jones was one of the first members of the rock band Foreigner and faometimes Jones would share ideas with Ronson.
"After school, Jones would play me the most recent mix of songs in the studio and ask what I thought, and l would tell him in my little English schoolboy voice, 'I remember the bass (貝司) was turned up a little more on the mix from last week''', Ronson told The Guardian, "I was kind of meant to live in the studio. "
All these influences led to his success. Ronson taught himself how to DJ when he was 16. "I practiced by copying my favorite DJs on the radio," he told US radio station NPR. "I would listen to them and try and copy in my best way what they were doing. "
With the goal of being a cool DJ, Ronson dropped out of New York University and played in clubs in downtown New York, where popular artists often visited.
"If you do a good job, there's the chance they might remember who you are," he told NPR.
And doing a good job is how Ronson got into show business.
" Never underestimate (低估) Ronson," UK DJ Zane Lowe told Esquire magazine, " he is fu]ly prepared for opportunities. "

When I began to move to Auckland to study the law, my mother was a little worried about the uncertainty of living in a place that was so different from India, where we lived. She worried about the shortage of jobs and the cultural differences that I would face.
I came to New Zealand in July 2013. I found the people were very nice and supportive. Soon after I arrived, I realized the importance of getting a part time job to make a living.
Deciding to do this on my own, I spent a whole day going from door to door for a job. However, I received a little or no reply. This became my daily activity after college for a few weeks.
One afternoon, I walked into a building to ask if there were any job chances. The people there were very surprised, and advised me not to continue my job search in that way. As I was about to leave, a secretary in the building came up to me and encouraged me to stay confident. He then offered to take me to the Royal Oak area to search for a job.
Along the way, I realized I had run out of copies of my resume (簡歷). The man stopped at his friend‟s office to make me 15 extra copies. He also gave me tips on dressing and speaking. I handed out my resume and went home. The following day, I received a call from a store in Royal Oak offering me a job.
It seemed that the world always gives back to you when you need it. And this time, it was a complete stranger who turned out to be a real blessing (祝福).

Soap is more popular in liquid form than in bars in the UK – but there are good reasons to stick with the old traditional way of keeping clean, says Gareth Rubin.
According to market research company Mintel, 87% of
Britons usually buy liquid soap, compared to only 13% who buy bars of it. And solid soap is losing the popularity. But why do some people still prefer traditional solid soap?
1.It’s what they’ve always known.
Some people are just traditionalists. According to Mark Constantine, he thinks it’s always lovely when we’re using something that’s been about for 3, 000 years. Solid soap has got a huge history and they’re very beautiful.
2.Solid soap is more pleasant.
Smelling a plastic bottle doesn’t feel very comfortable, while you can get bars of different textures and smells – some bars have sea salt, nuts, fruits or flowers in them for a bit of a surprise. Others come in beautiful or even funny shapes and sizes. You can tie attractive bars of soap up in silk ribbons (絲帶) and present them as a gift to a loved one – the effect isn’t quite the same when you do this with a liquid soap.
3.Less packaging (包裝) is better for the planet.
All those bottles has to come from somewhere and go somewhere. Recycling can only do so much, whereas typically a bar of soap comes in a little paper wrapper and that’s it. If you care about the environment, you can even buy bars of soap without paper around them. “And about 60% of the cost of a bottle of soap goes on the packaging and the pump (泵頭).” says Constantine.
4.The bottles are a little bit difficult.
You can hold a bar of soap in one hand and it works. With the bottles you first have to use both hands to unlock the pump, and shut your eyes to the liquid slowly dropping the sticky thing onto your bathroom floor. When the bar of soap runs down, you can still use it until it is no more, but with the liquid soap it is a difficult task to get the last drop out of the bottom.
1.According to market research company Mintel, ______.
A.solid soap is as popular as liquid soap
B.more people refuse to buy liquid soap
C.solid soap is becoming less popular
D.solid soap is better for the planet
2.Compared to solid soap, liquid soap ______.
A.has less packaging
B.has a much longer history
C.is more pleasant in smells
D.has less funny shapes and sizes
3.What can you infer from the passage?
A.Liquid soap is not worth the price according to Constantine.
B.A bottle of liquid soap cannot be a present for a friend.
C.More people will buy solid soap without silk ribbons.
D.It’s impossible to use up the liquid soap in a bottle.
4.What does the passage mainly talk about?
A.People’s preference to soap is changing.
B.Liquid soap is still liked by many Britons.
C.The advantages and disadvantages of solid soap.
D.The reasons why some people still prefer solid soap.
