分析 当1944年 伊丽莎白泰勒主演《玉女神驹》时,人们就爱上了这位小影星.这部电影讲述一个名叫Velvet Brown的女孩的故事,她第一次参加赛马就赢得了第一名.一开始,影片制作人告诉Taylor 说她太矮了所以还不能担任Velvet这个角色.然而,他们还是等了Taylor 几个月来让她练习和锻炼,在这短短的4个月里,Taylor 竟然长高了3英寸!直到现在,她在《玉女神驹》的演绎仍被认为是童星所能达到的最高境界.
伊丽莎白泰勒1932年生于伦敦.她的父母是美国人,因工作原因移居伦敦.当二战爆发时,Taylor 搬到了加利福尼亚,在那里Taylor 开始了她的演艺生涯.在她成功地成为一名童星之后,她又毫不费力的开始扮演成人角色并两次荣获最佳女主角的殊荣.分别是在:《巴特菲尔德八号》(1960)和《灵欲春宵》(1966).
伊丽莎白泰勒是我们这个时代的一位传奇人物.就像《玉女神驹》里的Velvet Brown一样,她非常幸运:她拥有美丽,名望和财富.但她也是一个很努力的人,Taylor 后期没再怎么演过电影.相反的,她把时间和精力都投入到她的生意和帮助他人中-几年之前,她建立了一个组织并为研究和教育筹集了4000多万美元.2011年3月伊丽莎白泰勒去世,享年79岁.

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 (计算),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 (应得的).
