26、 It’s a common belief that the roles actors play might somehow reflect their true personalities. It’s usually not true, but British actress Phoebe Waller-Bridge, 34, is an exception.
In September, 2019 Waller-Bridge took home three Emmy awards for her work on Fleabag–--- best writing in a comedy series, best lead actress, and best comedy series.
Her success is partly because of her family. Descended (遗传) from British nobility, Waller-Bridge was brought up in a free environment. Her mother always told her, “You can be whatever you want if you imagine it.” So Waller-Bridge broke all the rules about what a “good” girl should do. “Our laws and moral codes don’t apply – she lives ... without fear of consequence,” The Sun noted.
That fearlessness extends to being real in her writing and acting. Unlike the can-do heroines and strong, successful women in many TV dramas, Waller-Bridge shows an imperfect but real character. Just like the character Fleabag, who always found a way to say or do the wrong thing, Waller-Bridge feels her life is a mess. “It resonated (共鸣) with the lives of stressed-out women everywhere in reality – doing their best to find balance in their lives,” a viewer wrote on US movie website IMDb. Variety magazine even calls her an “all-around icon”.
Villanelle in Killing Eve, another hit TV series developed by Waller-Bridge, was a little bit violent but showed no interest for the rules others created, which made many people see themselves in her.
“People have been scared to write characters like these. But I think, now, women are so relieved to have this new model. And, aren’t we all a bit of everything?” Waller-Bridge said in an interview with Indian Express.
With such courage and sincerity, Waller-Bridge is, without a doubt, a “golden girl” in Hollywood, Australian news website The New Daily commented.
【1】What is Waller-Bridge good at ?
A.Directing films. B.Designing. C.Performing. D.Writing reports.
【2】From Paragraph 3 we can know ______________.
A.Waller-Bridge grew up in a rich home.
B.Waller-Bridge is a bad girl in nature.
C.Waller-Bridge family results in her achievements.
D.Waller-Bridge’s mother gave her encouragement.
【3】Who definitely interviewed Waller-Bridge according to the passage?
A.Variety magazine. B.The Sun. C.The New Daily. D.Indian Express .
【4】Which is the most impressive characteristic of Waller-Bridge according to the media?
A.Staying true. B.Being hardworking. C.Being talented. D.Being brave.

28、 ""May I speak with Jeanne Kerr?" I said, crossing my fingers
"Who's asking?" the voice rose.
“It's Regina Louise, I think we may've met "I don't believe so," the stranger said, hanging up the phone.
I crossed out another Jeanne from my long list. The first time I met Jeanne was May 1, 1975 at Edgar Children's Shelter where I was disliked by all the social workers except Jeanne.
The last time I saw Jeanne was in 1977. I was 15 years old, standing in a courtroom (法 庭),asking the court to allow Jeanne Kerr to adopt (收养)me. However, Jeanne's request to adopt me was refused because she was white and I was black. Then 1 was placed in a treatment center for disturbed girls .

One evening, I checked my email and came across the words: "I am so proud of you, sweetheart!" My heart stopped. I opened the email, and it was from Jeanne . An old co-worker of hers had read my book and called Jeanne to tell her "Your Regina is looking for you.”
I dialed the number given in the email immediately. We chatted a lot excitedly. At last, she told me, “I want to make you my daughter.
Three weeks later, I stood in the same courtroom where Jeanne's first request to adopt me had been refused. After the judge told us to live with and love one another as mother and daughter for the rest of our lives, I turned to Jeanne and whispered, "Thank you 一 Mommy 一 for loving me, when no one else could."

29、 A lot of people say math is not their strong suit. One New Jersey parent wants to help change that. Laura Overdeck grew up with numbers. She always helped measure ingredients(食材)when her mother baked,and she learned about angles from her father. She went on to major in astrophysics(天体物理学)in college. Overdeck wanted her own children to be good at math,too.“And when our first child was about two,we just started giving her a math problem every night,”Overdeck said. The problem was usually a story,involving animals,cars or candies that let the kid count.“Our third child started,at age two,yelling that he wanted his own math problem because he saw his brother and sister doing it. And we thought,‘Wow,we have a household where math is the popular thing at bedtime,’”Overdeck said.
In February,Overdeck set up Bedtime Math,an Internet website where she posts daily puzzles for children. Overdeck is particularly keen to hook(吸引)children on numbers before they go to school. So why introduce little ones to math so early?
Sian Beilock,an expert on performance anxiety,says the more fun and familiar math is early on,the less likely children will feel nervous when they start to learn math in school.“My lab has shown recently that kids as early as first grade report feeling anxious about doing math,”Beilock said.
“You can hear totally educated adults say,‘You know I’m just not that good at math.’or‘I’m kind of afraid of math.’And that’s a totally acceptable thing for a well-educated person to say,but you never hear them say,‘Well,you know,I’m just not that good at reading.’,”Overdeck said. She wants children and their parents to become as fluent in numbers as they are in Harry Potter.

The Safe (保险箱)
----- A Rich Man Finds the Best Way to be Truly Rich
Once upon a time, a rich man hired a great mathematician (数学家) to find him a way to make him more money. The rich man was so g【1】 that he even built a giant safe and his dream was to fill it with gold and jewels.
The mathematician worked on the problem for months. One night he said to the rich man “I’ve done it! My idea is perfect! You’ll be wealthy b【2】 your wildest dreams.” The rich man was d【3】 to hear this. Before he left on a long journey, he promised the mathematician double pay to run his business for him.
When the rich man returned, he found that all of his wealth was gone. Very angry, he asked the mathematician to explain. The mathematician told him he’d g【4】 everything away to people in the neighborhood.
The mathematician said “There is a limit to how much wealth one can get by himself. Then I realized that many people could help us a【5】 our goal. By helping o【6】, you could gain the most!”
Disappointed, the rich man went away. As he was walking, every neighbor he met was so thankful to him that they o【7】 him anything he needed.
