分析 當(dāng)1944年 伊麗莎白泰勒主演《玉女神駒》時(shí),人們就愛上了這位小影星.這部電影講述一個(gè)名叫Velvet Brown的女孩的故事,她第一次參加賽馬就贏得了第一名.一開始,影片制作人告訴Taylor 說(shuō)她太矮了所以還不能擔(dān)任Velvet這個(gè)角色.然而,他們還是等了Taylor 幾個(gè)月來(lái)讓她練習(xí)和鍛煉,在這短短的4個(gè)月里,Taylor 竟然長(zhǎng)高了3英寸!直到現(xiàn)在,她在《玉女神駒》的演繹仍被認(rèn)為是童星所能達(dá)到的最高境界.
伊麗莎白泰勒1932年生于倫敦.她的父母是美國(guó)人,因工作原因移居倫敦.當(dāng)二戰(zhàn)爆發(fā)時(shí),Taylor 搬到了加利福尼亞,在那里Taylor 開始了她的演藝生涯.在她成功地成為一名童星之后,她又毫不費(fèi)力的開始扮演成人角色并兩次榮獲最佳女主角的殊榮.分別是在:《巴特菲爾德八號(hào)》(1960)和《靈欲春宵》(1966).
伊麗莎白泰勒是我們這個(gè)時(shí)代的一位傳奇人物.就像《玉女神駒》里的Velvet Brown一樣,她非常幸運(yùn):她擁有美麗,名望和財(cái)富.但她也是一個(gè)很努力的人,Taylor 后期沒再怎么演過(guò)電影.相反的,她把時(shí)間和精力都投入到她的生意和幫助他人中-幾年之前,她建立了一個(gè)組織并為研究和教育籌集了4000多萬(wàn)美元.2011年3月伊麗莎白泰勒去世,享年79歲.

11.When Abraham Lincoln was young,he worked in a store.One day a woman came into the store and bought some things.They added up to two dollars and six and a quarter cents.
The bill was paid,and the woman was satisfied.But the young storekeeper,not feeling quite sure about his calculations (計(jì)算),added up the things again.To his surprise he found that it should have been but two dollars.
"I've made her pay six and a quarter cents more,"said young Abe,upset.
It was an unimportant thing,and many salespersons would forget it,but Abe was too careful for that.
"The money must be paid back,"he decided.
At night,he closed the store and walked to the home of his customer.He explained the matter,paid over the six and a quarter cents,and returned satisfied.
Here is another story of young Lincoln's strict honesty.A woman entered the store and asked for half a pound of tea.The young man weighed it out.This was the last sale of the day.
The next morning,when beginning his duties,Abe discovered a four-ounce weight on the scales (磅秤).It flashed upon him at once that he had used this in the sale last night,and so,of course,given his customer short weight.Many people would not have been much worried by this discovery.But Abe weighed out the balance of the half pound,shut up the store,and carried it to the customer.I think that the name,so often given in late times to President Lincoln,of"Honest Old Abe",was well deserved (應(yīng)得的).

A.tried to forget it
B.paid over the money
