I was very nervous as I waited to interview one of the most successful women of our times: Kathy
Howe. I was just a young reporter and she was not only a popular singer but also a famous actress,
staring in many movies.
As soon as the door opened, however, and her slim figure appeared, I immediately relaxed. She
looked great, with her kind brown eyes, her excellent black hair, and her beautiful smile. I looked for
bags under her eyes, but there were none. "How do you manage to look so good and live life in the fast
lane at the same time?" I asked her.
She laughed, and her whole face shone. "It"s tiring to be famous. You have to work hard, be on time,
and take care of yourself. Also, you have to go to Hollywood parties, be taken photos for magazines,
and give interviews!"
As we talked, I found out that Kathy is a very warm and kind person, and that her family is more
important to her than being a star. At the same time, she wants to do everything as well as she can, so
she can sometimes seem to be hard.
When I asked her if she thought of herself as lucky, she didn"t answer immediately. Then she said.
"Well, perhaps I"m lucky, but I also work very hard, and being famous has weak points, too. In fact,
I"ve missed out on lots of things I really enjoy doing, like spending time with my daughter."
I felt sad when it was time to leave, as Kathy is a wonderful woman. I have never met anyone else
who has such a life, and still manages to look so beautiful. |

_________________________________________________________________ | | 阅读理解 | Long ago, there lived in Greece a learned man. He was so well-known for his good knowledge of
almost everything that lots of people from all over the country came to learn from him. The great man
taught his students whole-heartdely and answered their questions with great patience(耐心). One day a
student asked him, "My dear teacher, didn"t you say you yourself have many,many more questions about
things than we do? But I think we students have far more than you. "
With a smile on his face, the teacher drew two circles(圈), one as large as a big cake, the other smaller. Then he said, "Of course, I"ve learned much more. But it"s wrong to think that a teacher has fewer
questions than his students. Now, look at these two circles. The inside of the bigger one is my knowledge of things, and the inside of the smaller one is yours. Out of the circles is what is still unknown to us. Since
mine is larger, I have to use the longer line to draw the bigger circle. That means I have more opportunities(机会) to face what is still unknown. And that"s why I have more questions than you do. The more you
learn, the more questions you have. You will never learn enough, you know. " | | 1. The learned man drew 2 circles to show ______. | A. he was good at drawing circles
