It was a hot summer day. My dad and I were getting ready to go out for a ride on the boat. Just then the phone call came, the call changed that sunny and beautiful day into a cold and dark one.
When I saw my father answering the phone, he was crying. I’d never seen my dad cry before. My heart sank. What possibly could happen?
“Max, I’m so sorry,” I heard him say. That’s when it hit me. I knew that Suzie had died.
Max has been my dad’s best friend for years. Suzie, his daughter, had a serious illness. She knew she was different from other kids. Although she couldn’t live a normal life, she was still happy.
When Suzie and I were little girls, we spent quite a bit of time together. When Suzie was ten, she had to live in a hospital. About eight months before she died, we talked at least twice a week on the phone until the end. Suzie was always so excited to talk to me and wanted to know everything I did and every thing I ate.
When Suzie and I first started calling each other, I thought it would be more of a burden on me, but I was completely wrong. I learned so much from her. She gave me more than I could ever give her. I will never forget her or the talks we had. I now know that I must never take anything for granted, especially my health and the gift of life.

I can’t remember when I fell in love with music. Maybe it happened when I was feeling blue sometime long ago. I can’t tell you exactly how music makes me feel better. But while listening to music, especially light music, it makes me feel calm and peaceful. Now I am listening to a song named Moon River. It is really a fantastic song. I didn’t like this song at the beginning, but later I found its slow melody and beautiful lyrics deeply touching.
“Oh, dream maker, you heart breaker. Wherever you’re going I’m going your way. Two drifters(流浪者) are off  to see the world. There’s such a lot of world to see.”

Even though she’s quite young, Drew Barrymore can be a Hollywood legend (傳奇). 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 (聚光燈).
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 (挑戰(zhàn)) 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.
小題1:Drew Barrymore made her first movie in          .
A．1975B．1977C．1979D．1982

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
小題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.
A．①④②③B．④②①③C．④③②①D．①③②④
