We should never give up when we，re challenged. The following three actresses have set a good example to us.
Sarah Jessica Parker
When Parker was little, she had to take up singing and dancing to help feed her big family.
Despite hard times, Parker’s mom encouraged her children’s interest in the arts. When Parker was 11 years old, the family took a trip to New York City，so Parker could audition (试演）for a Broadway play. The trip was a success—she and her brother were both cast，and then the family moved to New York. Parker continued to work hard and land roles, eventually becoming the title character of a famous TV show.
Emily Blunt
Before Blunt was nominated (提名)for Golden Globes and landed leading roles on the stage and big screen, she could hardly hold a conversation with her classmates: between ages 7 and 14，Emily had a major stutter (口吃）. But that all changed when one of her junior high teachers encouraged her to try out for the school play, which she thought was a totally unappealing (无吸引力的)thing at first due to the fact that she had such a hard time communicating. The teacher suggested she try accents and character voices to help get the words out and it worked. By the end of her teens，Blunt had overcome her stutter and went on to achieve the successful career she has now.
Shania Twain
Twain’s career actually began more out of necessity than raw ambition. Her mom and stepfather often couldn’t make enough to get by, so Twain started singing in bars to make extra money when she was just eight years old. She recalled her mother waking her up at all hours to get up and perform. Sadly, when she was 21，her mother and stepfather were killed in a car accident on the highway.
Twain put her career on hold to step in and take care of her younger brothers. Only when her youngest brothers graduated from high school did she feel it was OK to head down to Nashville to pursue her career.

C. she decided to look after her brothers
D. she wanted to take a break
4. What did Parker and Twain have in common when they were young

Riding a Mobike on the street，speaking Chinese aloud. 1 After walking into a store, it’s possible that you’ll see Huawei smartphones for sale. This isn’t referring to China，but Manchester, UK. 2 Indeed， Chinese products have gone global.
3 But to meet local people’s tastes, Chinese restaurants have made some changes to the dishes. “One example is the meat,” said Yin Hang, who is studying at the University of Wollongong in Australia. “We like to eat meat with the bone in，but people here don’t. So Chinese restaurants provide big pieces of meat without bones, even for fish . ”
4 In many cities in Europe, stores sell TCL televisions, Haier fridges and Lenovo computers, reported Reuters (路透社）. More than half of US-owned drones (无人机) are Chinese models， according to China Daily. They’re not simply made in China，but designed and developed in the country.
In the past, most Western people thought Chinese products were cheap and unreliable. But things have changed greatly. 5 “For example, Huawei, one of China’s major smartphone makers, overtook Apple in global smartphone sales for the first time in June and July last year,” noted consulting firm Counterpoint Research.
A. Many Chinese brands (品牌)are also becoming more popular.
B. Chinese food has been enjoyed in Western countries for a long time.

The eight-year-old Carol lived with her father David, mother May and elder brother Rob. The little family happily lived in a beautiful village surrounded with beautiful nature. The village was at the foot of a mountain, with beautiful views of the snowy mountain. The family survived on growing seasonal plants and trees. Their life was totally surrounded by nature and beauty.
While they lived a very happy life，Carol did not love the beautiful atmosphere of the village. She really wanted to move into the city and enjoy the city life. She wanted to shop, move around the city, watch movies, and eat in fantastic restaurants and cafes, etc.
However，there was hardly any chance for Carol’s family to move to the city as they had everything in the village.
One day, Carol fell asleep during the early noon and she had a sound sleep. Of course, she had a strange dream. She saw her grandmother in her dream as a fairy and her deceased grandmother granted her a wish. Carol requested her that she should love to enjoy the city life as she always desired.
Grandmother understood the desire of Carol, but still wanted to convince her that the peaceful village life was better than the city life.
She told Carol, “Baby，you cannot have access to fresh fruits and vegetables from plants as you have at your home. You cannot breathe fresh air. You cannot play with animals. You can hardly find any trees. “You will not find peace as you see here! Do you still want to go to the city ”
Without hearing the concerns, Carol asked her grandmother to grant the wish. Grandmother granted her the wish，but with a condition. Carol was told that she would only have 6 hours to spend in the city. Later，she would return to the village. Carol agreed.
Paragraph 1 ：
Carol then found herself in the city with her friends.

One possible version：
Paragraph 1 ：
Carol then found herself in the city with her friends. Carol and her friends went to watch movies. After that they ate delicious food in a restaurant and shopped in a huge mall. Carol was happy that she had the chance to experience the life in the city. Yet at the same time, she understood that everything told by her grandmother was true in the city. There was no peace and no silence ； the city life was fast and rushing. The air quality was not satisfying. She could hardly find any animal or even a tree.
Paragraph 2 ：
Carol’s brother Rob was calling her for lunch and Carol woke up. She recalled what happened just now in her dream and realized that her life in the village with her family was far more wonderful than the city life. Carol understood that she was having a more joyful life. She shared her dream with her family while enjoying the fresh fruits and vegetables, and they laughed together. Carol also developed love for plants, animals and beautiful nature.
