“I’d never had such difficulties before,” Chang said. But Chang’s talent was finally accepted in 2002. When she got a piece of work, she cried.
She soon became a star. Her first album Over the Rainbow sold very well. She won many awards.
“You wouldn’t believe such a beautiful voice could come from such a small body,” said one musician after hearing Chang sing. “She has a special voice. You can’t forget it.”
But the 25-year-old girl has other talents too. Chang is also an actress. She has played a role in the popular TV plays, My MVP Valentine and At Dolphin Bay. Many people remember her common-girl parts in the plays. But acting is difficult. Chang once acted so badly that she was nearly fired. Another time it took her 27 tries to get a scene right.
“I cried when I got back home,” Chang said. “But I knew that I wouldn’t always fail. You only fail when you give up.”
Now with four albums behind her - Over the Rainbow, Aurora, Pandora and Flower in the Wonderland, it’s clear that Chang and music were made for each other. As she sings in one song, “I have a pair of invisible wings. They fly me to the sky and give me hope.”
小题1:The word “invisible” in the last paragraph means “________________”.
| A．难以相信的 | B．看不见的 | C．隐藏的 | D．暗的 |
| A．she looks very common | B．she is too young |
| C．she doesn’t sing very well | D．she looks young and small |
| A．She won many awards for the album Over the Rainbow. |
| B．She has made four films. |
| C．One musician spoke highly of her. |
| D．She is not only a singer but an actress. |
| A．she is strong-minded | B．people like her films |
| C．she is interested in acting | D．she acted in the popular TV plays |
| A．The Small Girl. | B．Four Albums. |
| C．I have a Pair of Invisible Wings. | D．A Poor Actress. |
I had my first job at the age of thirteen, when a friend of my mother’s who owned a bookshop _36 me for six hours a week to help her in the shop. I was very 37 to earn my own pocket money and my parents 38 interfered(干涉) with how I spent it, even when I was spending it 39 . They believed that by earning money, spending it, and learning from the 40 , I would become more mature(成熟) and 41 about how to handle work, relationships with others, and money.
Like many 42 parents, my parents also let me and my brothers do things over which they 43 a great deal. When I was sixteen, for example, after I finished high school and before I entered university, I wanted to spend the summer months traveling around 44 . My mother was against the idea of my traveling alone at such a young age, but my father felt that it would be a great 45 for me. In the end, my father won the 46 on the condition that I limited my traveling to France, my mother’s home, where I had many uncles, aunts and cousins 47 through the country who could 48 shelter and help if I need them.
Three years later, my younger brother decide to 49 a year off after his first year in university and travel through the United States and the Caribbean. Again my mother was very worried and not 50 to see my brother leave school, but my father encouraged him and my brother had a(n) 51 year working his way on trains and ships to 52 passage to different ports and cities, and discovering many fascinating places and people.
These kinds of experiences are probably rare(稀少的) for children in many countries but in the US they are fairly 53 . Most parents start 54 their children at a young age to do small things by themselves. By the time they have finished high school, many American kids have already had part-time jobs, traveled around the US or other countries on their own, have 55 the university they plan to attend and maybe even decided on their future career, and so on.
