Everyone would like to be millionaire but can you imagine having over ＄30 million and only being 20 years old ? Britney Spears from Kentwood, a small town in Louisiana,

Is only 20 years old; she is a world famous film star with not only ＄30 million but also a $2 million house in LA. At her young age, she can look after her family financially(经济上)all her life. This year is a big year for Britney, she is now on a 31-day tour of the US and every concert is a sell-out. That means she plays in front of a crowd of around 18,000 people every time. It is tiring schedule but brings great rewards. When touring, she goes to bed around 1a.m.and then has a lie-in until 1 p.m. the next day. Her philosophy (人生观) is to take care of the body and relax but always make sure you work hard and have fun.

Spears is not pleased with only touring and selling nearly 40 million records so she decided to branch out into the movie business and try a bit of acting. She made an appearance in “ Austin Power 3 ”this year and she is filming a teenage comedy (喜剧) that will be released (发行) in March 2003.In this movie, she has a starring role.

For Britney, acting is another way to express herself and she is enthusiastic(热心的) about it all. If her movies are successful, her bank account is sure to grow by another few million dollars but she does it for the love, not the money, as she herself tells the press(新闻界).

　 A. before the first century　　　　　 B. in the second century

　 C. 100 years B.C　　　　　　　　　 D. in100
