Jessica Tandy probably is best known for winning an Academy Award in 1989 for the movie Driving Miss Daisy. She was the oldest person to have won the award. But for many years, she had received praise for her great performances.
Jessica Tandy was born in London in 1909. After her father died, her mother taught and took other jobs at night to make extra money to raise her, three children. Jessica’s older brothers showed an interest in the theater and often put on shows at home. Jessica said later that she was terrible in all of them. But she said taking part in those plays as a child created a desire in her to be someone else.
Jessica loved going to the theater. This love led her to attend an acting school in 1924. She performed in her first play called The Manderson Girls at 18. But few people watched this play. In 1932, she married the famous actor Jack Hawkins. Their wedding pictures were on the front page of many British newspapers. In the same year, critics in London recognized her great acting skill in her performance in the play Children in Uniform.
In 1940, Jessica ended her first marriage and moved to the USA. In New York, she met actor Hume Cronyn. Two years later, they married and moved to Hollywood.
Her turning point came in 1947 when she played the lead part in Tennessee Williams’ play A Streetcar Named Desire. Tandy won the first of her four Tony awards for best actress in it. After that Hollywood producers began to choose her to be in the movie.

It's a scene so common: Coffee shops are filled with customers who seem more absorbed in their study or work than in their drinks.The coffee shop has become a popular place for modern-day students and workers.It's less boring than the library,and yet it is still filled with the same energy as a school.
There might be a good reason why students are drawn to social spaces like coffee shops for study.A recent study conducted by researchers in Belgium indicates that productivity may increase in coffee shops.
As part of the study,about 40 participants were placed side-by-side in pairs and asked to undergo（经历）reaction-time tests.Each participant sat in front of a computer screen,which flashed different colored squares.The goal for each person was to hit the key on the keyboard that corresponded with each square.Though each participant worked separately,they were affected by how hard their neighbor was working.The researchers varied the difficulty levels of each person's test,and they found that if they paired a person working on a medium-difficult test with someone taking a very difficult test,the first person would work harder.Not only that,but the first person's accuracy would also improve.
"It seems like noticing that their partner is working hard motivated people to work hard too,"a researcher explained.But the researchers couldn't exactly explain why."One possibility is that the hard workers' body position got noticeably more tense.So next time you enter a coffee shop to study or work,sitting next to customers who are obviously in the zone may be a wise choice."

A. They can enjoy drinks while studying.
