Marilyn Monroe was certainly one of the most famous actresses of the twentieth century.She was known as the “Blonde Bombshell” and the “Sex Goddess of the Silver Screen”.However,surprisingly,this famous actress never won any major acting awards throughout her 15?year career in the movies.Critics(評論家) may not have thought highly of her acting ability,but the huge number of her fans flocking to see her movies ?propelled?(推進(jìn)) her to fame and fortune.?

Being a teenager,she found a job in a parachute packing factory during World War Ⅱ.A picture of young Ms Mortenson in a magazine led her into modelling.Hoping to move from modelling into acting,the young woman began trying out for acting jobs with several movie studios in Hollywood.She finally got a one?year contract(合同)with Twentieth Century-Fox.However,Ms Monroe’s career as an actress did not start well.She was given small parts in several films which did not do very well at the box office,and the studio decided to drop her contract.With no money and no work,the actress agreed to let a photographer take pictures without any clothes on for a calendar,for which she was paid $50.?

In 1951,with the help of a friend,Ms Monroe got a seven?year contract with the same studio again.The studio began putting the actress in movies playing a “dumb blonde”and Ms Monroe became a hit.After playing “dumb blonde” in six more movies,she got her first lead role in the movie Niagara in 1953,which did well in box office.She proved that she could sing and dance in her own sexy way in movies like Gentlemen Prefer Blondes and How to Marry a Millionaire.She also showed that she could perform as a comic actress.

While her movie career went on well,her private life was not quite a successful.She had got married for three times,but all her marriage didn’t last long.Probably due to her addiction to alcohol and sleeping pills,she was difficult to work with and was fired.Two months later,she was found dead from an overdose.

A man once said how useless it was to put advertisements in the newspaper. “Last week,” he said, “my umbrella was stolen from a London church. As it was a present, I spent twice its worth in advertising, but didn’t get it back.”

 “How did you write your advertisement?” asked one of the listeners, a merchant.

 “Here it is,” said the man, taking out of his pocket a slip cut from a newspaper. The other man took it and read, “Lost from the City Church last Sunday evening, a black silk umbrella. The gentleman who finds it will receive ten shillings on leaving it at No. 10 Broad Street.”

 “Now,” said the merchant, “I often advertise, and find that it pays me well. But the way in which an advertisement is expressed is of extreme importance. Let us try for your umbrella again, and if it fails, I'll buy you a new one.”

The merchant then took a slip of paper out of his pocket and wrote: “If the man who was seen to take an umbrella from the City Church last Sunday evening doesn’t wish to get into trouble, he will return the umbrella to No.10 Broad Street. He is well known.”

This appeared in the newspaper, and on the following morning, the man was astonished when he opened the front door. In the doorway lay at least twelve umbrellas of all sizes and colors, and his own was among them. Many of them had notes fastened to them saying that they had been taken by mistake, and begging the loser not to say anything about the matter.

My neighbor Jennifer is blind, but you’d never know it. She makes such good use of her other  36  , including her "sixth sense", that she hardly gives the impression that she has   37  anything. Jennifer looks after her children much like the rest of us,  38  that she doesn’t push too hard on them,  39  really benefit a lot from her relaxed attitude. She knows when to clean the house, and she moves around so fast that   40  often don't realize she's blind.

I  41  this the first time after my six-year-old daughter, Kayla, went to play there. When Kayla came home, she was very   42  about her day. She told me they had baked cookies, played games and done art projects. But she was   43  excited about her finger-painting project.

“Mom, guess what?” said Kayla, all smiles. “I learned how to   44  colors today! Blue and red make purple, and yellow and blue make green! And Jennifer  45   with us”. To my great  46  , my child had learnt about color from a blind friend! Then Kayla continued, “Jennifer told me my   47  showed joy, pride and a sense of accomplishment（成就感）. She really _48   what I was doing!” Kayla said she had never known how good finger paints felt   49  Jennifer showed her how to paint without looking at her paper.

At first, she didn't believe me. “But Mommy, Jennifer knew exactly what was in my picture!” Kayla  52  . And I knew my child was  53   because Jennifer had listened to Kayla describe her art work. Jennifer had also heard Kayla's  54  in her work.

We were silent for a minute. Then Kayla said slowly, “You know, Mommy, Jennifer really did ‘see’ my picture. She just used my   55  .”

Indeed, she uses a special type of “vision” that all mothers have.
