19. Why human beings cry?
20. It can be inferred from the passage that __________.
Passage Three
Even though she’s quite young, Drew Barrymore can already be called a Hollywood legend. She’s lived it up, she’s done it all, and she has enough movies under her belt to put most young stars to shame.
Barrymore was born on February 22, 1975, in California. Being from a family that produced great actors, it’s no wonder that she quickly found her way into the spotlight.
When she was 11 months old, she made her first commercial on TV. She made her first movies at the age of 2. Four years later, she showed up as in the Steven Spielberg’s famous film E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial.
However it wasn’t all roses and sunshine when Barrymore was growing up. She was drinking alcohol by the time she was 9, smoking marijuana at 10, and taking cocaine at 12.
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. Not so with Drew Barrymore.
As she was getting older, Barrymore started to realize that there is more to life than publicity stunts. She set out to build a career and made a series of successful films since 1997, including Charlie’s Angels and 50 First Dates.
“In my life, there is darkness and chaos and drama, and I have yet to explore some of that in my work life. I sort of just want to quietly challenge myself and prove that I’m capable of 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 easygoing and laughs a lot. In 1997, 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.

(答案略) The Importance of learning English? Why do we have to learn English? Because English is the most common international language in the world today, it is also the most widely used language in the world. China has undergone tremendous changes in recent decades, and has developed rapidly in all aspects. However, it is unquestionable that we are still lagging behind the advanced western countries in many aspects of technology. In order to develop and make progress, we must master various technologies in a relatively short period of time. We can not rely solely on our own research. We must learn advanced technology from others. And the prerequisite for learning is to master the universal technology
exchange language, so learning English is very important.
