A great loss—Shirley Temple dies at 85
February 12, 2020
BYDERRIK 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. By1940, 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 Franklin. 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. 8. The word “illumine” in Paragraph 1 means _______. A.
shorten
B. sweeten
C.
strengthen D. brighten 9. 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
10. 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. 11. Where does this passage possibly come from?
A. A biography. B. A newspaper.
C.
A
magazine. D. A poster. D
I was never very neat, while my
roommate Kate was extremely
organized. Each of her objects had its place, but mine always hid somewhere. She even labeled (贴标签 ) everything. I always looked for everything. Over time, Kate got neater and I got messier. She would push my dirty clothing over, and I
would lay my books on her tidy desk. We both got tired of each other.
War broke out one evening. Kate
