Even though she’s quite young, Drew Barrymore can be a Hollywood legend (传奇). She was born on February 22, 1975, in California. Being from a family that produced great actors, she quickly found her way into the spotlight (聚光灯). When she was 11 months old, she made her first advertisement on TV. She made her first movie at the age of 2. Five years later, she acted Gertie in Steven Spielberg’s famous film E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial(1982). However, it wasn’t all roses and sunshine when Barrymore was growing up. She was drinking wine by the time she was 9, smoking marijuana (大麻) at 10. Most kid stars in Hollywood fail to become stars as adults. And most of the time, once they’re out of the spotlight, they stay out. But Drew Barrymore doesn’t. As she was growing older, Barrymore started to realize that life is more meaningful than dangerous actions in the films. She started to build a career in 1997. She has made a series of successful films since then, including Charlie’s Angels (2000) and 50 First Dates (2004). “In my life, there is darkness and drama, and I have yet to explore some of that in my work life. I just want to challenge (挑战) myself and prove that I can do more.” Actually, anyone who’s not familiar with her disordered childhood might find it hard to believe she’s such a sweet person now. Like many of the characters she plays in her comedy, Drew is easy-going and laughs a lot. In 2007, she was on the cover of People magazine’s 100 Most Beautiful People issue. “Life is very interesting … in the end, some of your greatest pains, become your greatest strengths,” Drew said. 小题1:Drew Barrymore made her first movie in .小题2:Drew Barrymore can be a Hollywood legend mainly because .A.she was born form a family that produced great actors | B.she used to be a famous kid star in Hollywood | C.she always has roses and sunshine in her life | D.she didn’t give up even when she met difficulties | 小题3:Which is the correct order of Drew Barrymore’s life? ①She made the film Charlie’s Angels. ②She is on the cover of People magazine’s 100 Most Beautiful People issue. ③ She started to drink wine and smoke marifuana. ④ She acted Gertie in Steven Spielberg’s famous film E.T. the Extra- Terrestrial.小题4:Which of the following chart can best describe Drew Barrymore’s career (till 2007) ?
