新视野大学英语（第二版）听说教程第四册录音文本UnitlWarming upM: You're telling me that you'd rather be famous than be respected as a good person?W: Well, I don't know.

Believe me, it isn't fun.W: Vbu talk as if you know something about celebrity. Were you ever famous?M: Vbu know the old saying, "Everyone has his 15 minutes of fame"?
