英语口语教学：希拉里成世界最令人羡慕的女人
The most admired woman in the world is Hillary Rodham Clinton, according to the annual USA Today-Gallup poll. America’s Secretary of State scooped the award for the ninth year in a row. US President Barack Obama was the most admired man for the third straight year. Sarah Palin came in second place and Oprah Winfrey in third. Ms Clinton has been in the most admired woman top ten 15 times since 1992. She first appeared after husband Bill Clinton became president. President Barack Obama’s wife Michelle came fourth in the recent poll. Unsurprisingly, only three non-American women made the top ten. These were Britain’s Queen Elizabeth and former prime minister Margaret Thatcher, and Myanmar’s pro-democracy leader Aung San Suu Kyi.The yearly survey asked people what man and woman, living anywhere in the world, they most admired. It is always dominated by Americans. It is surprising that President Obama still came top, considering his slump in his approval ratings and the poor state of the US economy. His lead has slipped compared to previous years. In 2008 he led the list with 32 per cent, in 2009 30 per cent and this year 22 per cent. The other top three places for men were taken by former US presidents George W. Bush and Bill Clinton. The only non-American males in the poll were former South African president Nelson Mandela and Pope Benedict XVI. It would be interesting to see how the poll might change if it was given to citizens from all over the world. 先顶贴，慢慢看哈 呵呵谢谢静儿，希望口语提升部分能做的更好，一起努力:qq50] :handshake:lol The most admired woman!
