3. I suppose, that this phrase means that people who are very ambitious can't accept (admit)their mistakes and are deluded till the end.
4. Today advertising surrounds us wherever we (may)go, we're always influenced by it. It's almost impossible not to pay attention to it.
5. This quotation means that if you have a desire to be a successful actress, you have to be smart and good looking, but you also have to be prepared for the difficulties, you shouldn't loose your faith.
6. Many people say that we shouldn't judge the book by its cover, but we all have to admit that the way the person looks effects our opinion a lot, so it's quiet important to take care of ourselves.

3. Failure can't depend on ambition for refuge, because if you really want something you'll never give in. How would you translate it into Russian?
4. In my opinion this quatation draws our attention to  the fact that we pay for advertising and buy things that are advertised without considering whether we need them.(OR NOT)in this way people make money on us/
5.It is very hard to become an actress.If you want to get into the character you need to combine the best features.
You were to explain the incongruity between "those good features"and the hide of the rhinoceros!
6.Appearance gives us information about people.So almost everyone (Everyone needs -S)judge people by appearance.
10/This quOatation tells us that neither brevity nor plain speaking neccessarily reveals volumes of thought or produces deep thinking.(извините ,что в субботу.Я просто забыла...) I`d like you to elaboratr the idea!
You were in a hurry while doing this work! You could have done it better!

4.Now, the adds are everywhere. We see it everyday and you cant even notice how the advertising effects on(DO NOT USE THE PREPOSITION HERE) our minds. So,it arrest the human's brains and get money from it.(III person singular)
5. I think, this quotation means that no matter how beautiful and talanted you (are) MAY BE, you must have a strong character and a lot of forces(WILLPOWER) to achieve succes or to withstand all difficulties, that our life presents us. Even such people as actresses and celebrities.
6.This quatation means that Mother Nature gave is suchAwonder us(AS ?) our appearance. It is very stupid not to value it and not to pay attention on(TO) it. Our appearance can say a lot about us.
10. I think that people, who speak witty words and have nothing smart in their heads - are empty. We can believe in (no preposition here)what they say ,but it will be very disappointed(disappointing) to know that such people can only speak beautifully and notning more.

3. If you really want to achieve something , you will try hard not to fail . That's why a lot of ambitious people rare suffer from failure.
4. Doing business is impossible without advertising . We see it every day , but we don't pay attention (Vika! to pay attention to smth, but to notice smth)that a lot of companies make money on us . They arrest our intelligence such way. (in such a way, my dear! Do not forget it!)
5. To be an acress is very hard. You always must show everybody that you really can be an actress. So you always must correspond to your character. It means that for an actress it is important to get into her character , that's why she needs to combine the best qualities. Does the quotation refer only to an actress?
6. I think, it means that for the author beauty is the greatest wonder in the world. He considers that it is necessary to pay attention to the appearance as it can say a lot about the person. And what about you? Doesn`t the appearane speak volumes?  The style in dressing, behavior, speech, manners, gestures...?
7. The government has profits from business  , it is very lucrative , that's why it doesn't disturb it. And if the government treated people(IN)the same way , this would be some democracy.
10. Sometimes people can say a lot of beautiful speeches , so we believe them .  But their thoughts don't correspond to their words.

3. Ambition will never tolerate failure. If you are that ambitous, if you really want to accomplish what you wish, then you will never let anything put you down and fail. That's why Failure can never depend on Ambition for refuge, protection, or help because Ambition will only kill it. 
4. I agree with Nastya Yankina, with existing of such terms as marketing and others sciences how to sell, this  quotations becomes a real description of situatuion.
5. Well i'm not an acress so i  know nothong in this sphere. May be it is true because was written by famous writter Ella Wheeler Wilcox.

3.Only a person who failed everything tries to hide behind his ambitions, because it's the only thing he can do now.
4. Advertising goes everywhere with us, it takes our attention. We don't see it and just don't care, but  it works and  in the same time people make money on us. I totally agree with this quatation.
5. The world of cinema industry is very cruel, especially to young women who come there. They are supposed to meet a lot of difficulties, the level of rivalry is high. That's why they  should have all these qualities.
6. Oscar Wild meant to say that all things we do, all our thoughts stay on our face. This theme is greatly opened in his "Picture of Dorian Gray".
10.It can be said about politicians. They always talk a lot, they know what we want to hear, they speak with wonderfully written speech, speech written by  the professionals, but it doesn't mean that they believe in what they're saying.Their words  are empty, their minds are only  full  of selfishness and their own benefit.
Янкина А.
