It’s a common belief that the roles actors play might somehow reflect their true personalities. It’s usually not true, but British actress Phoebe Waller-Bridge, 34, is an exception.
In September, 2019 Waller-Bridge took home three Emmy awards for her work on Fleabag—best writing in a comedy series, best lead actress, and best comedy series.
Her success is partly because of her family. Descended from British nobility, Waller-Bridge was brought up in a free environment. Her mother always told her, “You can be whatever you want if you imagine it. ” So Waller-Bridge broke all the rules about what a “good” girl should do. “Our laws and moral codes don’t apply—she lives. . . without fear of consequence, ” The Sun noted.
That fearlessness extends to being authentic(真实的) in her writing and acting. Unlike the can-do heroines and strong, successful women in many TV dramas, Waller-Bridge shows an imperfect but real character. Just like the character Fleabag, who always found a way to say or do the wrong thing, Waller-Bridge feels her life is a mess. “It resonated(共鸣) with the lives of stressed-out women everywhere in reality —doing their best to find balance in their lives, ” a viewer wrote on US movie website IMDb. Variety magazine even calls her an “all-around icon”.
Villanelle in Killing Eve, another hit TV series developed by Waller-Bridge, was a little bit violent but showed no interest for the rules others created, which made many people see themselves in her.
“People have been scared to write characters like these. But I think, now, women are so relieved to have this new template(样板, 人设). And, aren’t we all a bit of everything? ”Waller-Bridge said in an interview with Indian Express.
With such courage and sincerity, Waller-Bridge is, without doubt, a “golden girl” in Hollywood, Australian news website The New Daily commented.
1. What is Waller-Bridge good at?
A. Performing. B. Writing reports.
C. Directing films. D. Designing.
2. From Paragraph 3 we can know .
A. Waller-Bridge’s family results in her achievements
B. Waller-Bridge’s mother gave her encouragement
C. Waller-Bridge grew up in a rich home
D. Waller-Bridge is a bad girl in nature
3. Who definitely interviewed Waller-Bridge according to the passage?
A. The Sun. B. Variety magazine.
C. Indian Express. D. The New Daily.
4. Which is the most impressive characteristic of Waller-Bridge according to the media?
A. Being brave. B. Being talented.
C. Being hard-working. D. Staying true.
B
Florence Nightingale was born in a rich family. When she was young, she took lessons in music and drawing, and read great books. She also traveled a great deal with her mother and father.
As a child, she felt that visiting sick people was both a duty and a pleasure. She enjoyed helping them. At last, her mind was made up. “I’m going to be a nurse, ” she decided. “Nursing isn’t the right work for a lady, ” her father told her.
“Then I will make it so, ” she smiled. And she went to learn nursing in Germany and France. When she returned to England, Florence started a nursing home for women.
During the Crimean War in 1854, she went with a group of thirty-eight nurses to the front hospitals. What they saw there was terrible. Dirt and death were everywhere to be seen and smelled. The officer there did not want any woman to tell him how to run a hospital, either. But the brave nurses went to work.
Florence used her own money and some from friends to buy clothes, beds, medicines and food for the men. Her only pay was the smiles from the lips of dying soldiers. But they were more than enough for this kind woman.
After war, she returned to England and was honored for her services by Queen Victoria. But Florence said that her work had just begun. She raised money to build the Nightingale Home for Nurses in London.
She also wrote a book on public health, which was printed in several countries. Florence Nightingale died at the age of ninety, still trying to serve others through her work as a nurse. Indeed, it is because of her that we honour nurses today.
5. When she was a child, Florence .
A. loved to help the sick people
B. knew what her duty in life was
C. wrote a book on public health
D. was most interested in music and drawing
6. What made Florence determined to become a nurse?
A. Her father’s support.
B. Her desire to help the sick.
C. Her education in Germany and France.
D. Her knowledge from reading great books.
7. During the Crimean War in 1854, Florence served in the front hospital where .
A. she earned a lot of money
B. work was very difficult
C. few soldiers died because of her work
D. she didn’t have enough food and clothes
8. Why was Florence honored by Queen Victoria?
A. Because she built the Nightingale Home for Nurses.
B. Because of her old age.
C. Because she worked as a nurse all her life.
D. Because she did a great deal of work during the Crimean War.
IV. 七选五
Sometimes we turn to others for advice on major career decisions. But they may direct us in the wrong direction.
Why does so much career advice end up being misguided? The problem may start with who we turn to for advice. 1 I have watched many students rely on their parents and grandparents for guidance, forgetting that they were raised in an age when it was common to spend an entire career in one organization.
2 It’s uncertain that they will know what’s right for us. Advisors often focus too heavily on their personal preferences and experiences rather than take our perspective(视角).
At some point, you have probably noticed that you are wiser when giving advice to others than you are in making decisions for yourself. You are not alone.
3 The lesson here is that one of the most effective ways to get better advice is to give it. Sure enough researchers find that our reasoning becomes wiser when we think about our problems from a third person perspective.
Advising others helps us make better decisions. And it also leaves us more motivated(有动力的) to follow through. In one experiment, it was expected that people were more motivated when receiving than giving advice. 4 It was people who gave advice who become more motivated.
If you want to get better career advice, you can start by reflecting on what you would tell someone else with a similar question. Listen to the advice you give to others. It’s usually the advice you need to take yourself. 5
A. But the opposite was true.
B. But it was easier said than done.
C. We often listen to the wrong sources.
D. And it might be the best way to motivate yourself, too.
E. What about going to people who are qualified to give advice?
F. However, sometimes we make decisions depending on ourselves.
G. It often happens because we have more distance from other people’s problems than our own.

A Great Gift
In memory of the great scientist Qian Xuesen, a statue of him was unveiled and a class named after him was set up in Hainan Middle School during its 95th anniversary celebration.
Qian Xuesen, who was a milestone in China’s history of science, came back to work for his motherland after finishing his further study in America. His arrival brought Chinese hope on the cause of aerospace. Being a pioneer in this field, he contributed a lot to the development of rockets and launched the first satellite for the country.
Such a great gift inspires students to learn from excellent scientists’ spirits and become a man like them.
