She is also, according to some assessments, the most influential woman in the world. It39。 s no surprise that her endorsement(认可 )can bring overnight sales fortune that defeats most, if not all, marketing campaigns. The star features about 20 products each year on her “Favorite Things” show. There’s even a term for it: the Oprah Effect. Her television career began unexpectedly. When she was 16 year old, she had the idea of being a journalist to tell other people’s stories in a way that made a difference in their lives and the world.

As interviewers go, she is no match for Phil Donahue. What she lacks in journalistic toughness, she makes up for in plainspoken curiosity, rich humor and, above all understanding.

It doesn39。 t matter how far you might rise. At some point you are bound to fall if you’re constantly doing what we do, raising the bar. If you39。 re constantly pushing yourself higher, higher the law of averages, you will at some point fall. And when you do, I want you to know this, remember this: there is no such thing as failure. Failure is just life trying to move us in another direction” as Oprah addressed graduates at Harvard on May 30, 2020. 32. The Oprah Effect refers to _______. A. the effect on a business B. the power of Oprah’s opinions C. the impact on talk shows D. the assessment of Oprah’s talk show 33. What can be inferred about Oprah’s television career? A. She once gave up on her choice B. Her swift success has been expected. C. It lives up to her parents’ expectation. D. She must have been challenged by white males. 34.
