To win an Oscar is an achievement at any age.To do so at 22,like Jennifer Lawrence,is just amazing.Recently,the American star won Best Actress at this year’s Academy Awards for her role in the film Silver Linings Playbook.According to Time magazine’s Richard Corliss,Lawrence is a rare young actress who lends mature intelligence to any role.
Though Lawrence has found great success through her big screen work,she wasn’t sure what she really liked doing before the age of 14.She thought she’d go to college and maybe find a career as a doctor or a travel agent.
Lawrence’s two brothers were star athletes and one of them was a straightA student.Unlike them,she suffered through school,never finding where she belonged.However,during a trip to New York,Lawrence suddenly realized that she wanted to be an actress.When she was enjoying the beautiful city,a model seeker asked if he could take her picture,and the next day he called her in for an audition (试镜).
“I read the script and it was the first time I had that feeling like I understand this,” Lawrence said.“Within 20 minutes in the cab ride from the hotel,I decided I didn’t want to be a model.In fact,I wanted to be an actress.”Having appreciated this young lady’s performance,the agency was so impresed with her reading that they signed her on the spot.But she insisted on finishing high school so she could pay her full attention to her acting career.
Lawrence burst onto the Hollywood scene last year with The Hunger Games,which established her as the highestgrossing (票房最高的) female action hero of all time.Rolling Stone called her “the most talented young actress in America”.

I took the bus to work for many years. No one knew each other; the passengers all sat there sleepily in the morning. The bus was cheerless and silent.
One of the passengers was a small grey man who took the bus to the center for senior citizens every morning. No one ever paid very much attention to him. One July morning he said good morning to the driver and smiled. The driver nodded guardedly. The rest of us were silent.
The next day, the old man boarded with a big smile and said in a loud voice, “A very good morning to you all!” Some of us looked up, amazed, and murmured “ good morning” in reply.
The following weeks, our friend was dressed in a nice old suit and tie. The thin hair had been carefully combed. He said good morning to us every day and we gradually began to nod and talk to each other.
One morning he even had a bunch of wild flowers in his hand. The driver turned around smilingly and asked, “Have you got yourself a girlfriend, Charlie?” We never got to know if his name really was “Charlie”, but he nodded shyly and said yes. The other passengers whistled and clapped at him. Charlie waved the flowers before he sat down on his seat.
Every morning after that Charlie always brought flowers. Some passengers also brought flowers for him. The bus became a happy place.
Then, one morning, as autumn was closing in, Charlie wasn’t waiting at his usual stop. When he wasn’t there the next day and the day after that, we started wondering if he was sick or hopefully---on holiday somewhere. When we came nearer to the center for senior citizens, one of the passengers even asked the driver to wait.
We all held our breaths when he went to the door. The old gentleman was fine, but one of his close friends had died over the weekend. How silent we were the rest of the way to work.
The next Monday Charlie was waiting at the stop, and without a tie. Inside the bus was silent.
1. The story is mainly developed by ______.
A. time B. logic C. comparison D. cause and result

C. guarded against the conversation from strangers
D. felt surprised and became angry with him.
3. When the passengers found the old man was not waiting at the bus stop as usual, they did the following things EXCEPT _____.
A. buy flowers and wait for him to come B. feel anxious and worried about him
C. miss him and expect to see him
D. hope he was going on holiday rather than falling ill
4. It can be inferred from the text that _____.
A. the driver didn’t like the old man at first
B. people usually wear a tie when they are happy
C. passengers brought flowers to express gratitude(感谢) to the old man
D. the old man had a great influence on the passengers’ emotion
