A great loss—Shirley Temple dies at 85
February 12，2014
BY DERRIK J．LANG，Associated Press
Shirley Temple Black，who died on February 10th at age 85，wasn’t just a child star．She was THE child star—the sweet little girl whose shining smile helped illumine some of the darkest days the US has known during the Great Depression．
It’s hard today to imagine the super star Shirley was once “America’s Little Darling”．She sang and danced her way to the top of the box office in such films as Bright Eyes，Curly Top and Heidi．By 1940，she had appeared in 43 films．Temple teamed with Bill Robison in four movies，and their dance on the stairs in The Little Colonel is still a legendary film moment．
In the 1930s，her name on a movie introduction assured（保证）a packed house．She inspired dolls，dresses，dishes—even a drink（alcohol-free，of course）．
US President Franklind． Roosevelt once famously said that “as long as our country has Shirley Temple，we will be all right．”
Unlike so many of today’s child stars，Temple didn’t end up with her name appearing across the headlines for bad behaviors．Instead of getting her photos on front pages or struggling with drugs and alcohol，Temple went on to a second career in diplomacy（外交），including presidential appointments as ambassador to Ghana．
She surprised a lot of people who doubted her with her grace，knowledge and eagerness to serve．In fact，her career in public service（20 years）was longer than her career in movies（19）．The role she valued most，however，was as wife，mother，grandmother and great-grandmother．
The world has lost a treasured Hollywood legend． But her movies will allow that little dynamic figure to continue charming audiences for a very long time．
1.The word “illumine” in Paragraph 1 means _______．
A． shorten B． sweeten
C． strengthen D． brighten
2.Temple，as a child movie star，can best be described as _______．
A． sweet and lively
B． gentle and kind
C． smart and knowledgeable
D． shy and attractive
3.What part did she regard as the most important in her life？
A． A top movie star．
B． A businesswoman．
C． Her family role．
D． Her diplomacy career．
4.Where does this passage possibly come from？
A． A biography B． A newspaper
C． A magazine D． A poster

What would it be like to walk on Mars? If you could build the highest building in the world，what would it look like? Do you dream of being the next J. K. Rowling? This summer, you can experience all of these things, and more. All you need is an Internet connection and your imagination.
A recent study by the Kaiser Family Foundation found that kids spend an average of 1 hour and 29 minutes online each day. Many kids like to use that time to chat with friends, play games or check e?mails. But the next time you get on the Web, try exploring the world instead. “With the Internet，you can go back 11,000 years in time，or go 11,000 kilometers across the planet.” said Russell, Web search expert of Google. “The whole scope of history and the world is open to you.”
There is a wealth of information to be found online. For example, if your family is going on vacation somewhere, do a quick online search on the area before you even get in the car. “What's the background of the place; what's the history？” says Russell. “I like to tell my kids, ‘Whenever you have a question, whenever you have a doubt, search it out.’”
Ready to launch a virtual journey of your own? Here are a few starting points to get you thinking and to help you on your way. You can invite your parents along for the ride, too. Always ask for permission before downloading programs and software onto your computer. And check with a parent or an adult before visiting any new Web site.
Navigate the world in 3?D with Google Earth. Begin in outer space and zoom (快速移动) into the streets of any city, from Hong Kong to San Francisco. Or visit ancient monuments, watch the changing rainforests over time, and dive underwater to explore tropical reef.
With the Moon in Google Earth tool, you can walk in Neil Armstrong's famous footsteps. Take a guided tour of the moon's surface with Armstrong's fellow shuttle mate astronaut Buzz Aldrin.
When you're exploring that part of the solar system, hop on over to the Red Planet with Google Mars. There, you can move very quickly around the surface and see images from the Mars Rovers.

You had better learn to be grateful． If you are grateful， you naturally . yourself up to receive all kinds of blessings and good things in life． You can receive almost everything you want ．If you want recovery soon， start by feeling grateful that you are still ．If it is more money that you want，start being grateful for whatever of money you already have．
You see，showing gratitude(感恩) is the key to every thing in life．It is the key to successful relationships，it is the key to successful futures and it is the key to healthier and happier lives．And this is where the importance of being grateful lies． ，it makes life better．
One of my favorite is “If you learn to appreciate more of what you already have，you will find yourself having more to appreciate．” Think about that！
Something as as a “Thank you for being in my life” or “I having you here with me”，can go a long way． It will make the other person feel good， and it also will make you feel better！
So maybe your wife is not very around the house， but she’s great at cooking your favorite ．Or， maybe your child milk all over your new shirt right before you walked out the door for work， but usually he makes you laugh so much and makes you the luckiest parent in the world．
I strongly you to make a promise to yourself for the next week． Decide to .every morning and think of at least 5 things that you are .for． Then say them out loud． You will notice a smile on your face without even . ．In 30 days you will feel completely renewed． This is the .of being grateful！
