4.The bicycling craze came in when we were just about at the right age to enjoy it.At first even"safety"bicycles were too dangerous and improper for ladies to ride,and they had to have tricycles.My mother had(I believe)the first female tricycle in Cambridge;and l had a little one,and we used to go out for family rides,all together;my father in front on a bicycle. and my poor brather Charles standing miserable on the bar behind lny mother.I found it very hard work.pounding(轰隆隆行进)away on my hard tyres;a glorious,but not a pleasurable pastinle.
Then,one day at lunch,my father said he had just seen a new kind of tyre,filled up,with air,and he thought it might be a success.And soon after that everyone had bicycles,ladies and all; and bicycling became the smart thing,and the lords and ladies had their pictures in the papers,riding along in the park,in straw hats.
My mother must have fallen off her bicycle ptetty often,for I remember seeing the most appalling cuts and bruises(青肿)on her legs.But she never complained,and always kept these accidents to herself.However,the great Mrs.Phillips,our cook,always knew all about them;as indeed she knew practically everything that ever happened.She used to draw us into the servants'hall to tell us privately:"Her Ladyship had a nasty fall yesterday;she cut both her knees and sprained her wrist.But don't Iet her know I told you."So we never dared say anything.Similar little accidents used to occur when,at the age of nearly Seventy,she insisted on learning to drive a car.She never mastered the art of reversing(倒车),and was in every way an unconventional and terrifying driver. Mrs.Phillips used then to tell us:"Her Ladyship ran into the back of a milk-cart yesterday;but it wasn't much hurt";or"A policeman stopped her Ladyship because she was on the wrong side of the road;but she said she didn't know what the white Line on the road meant,so he explained arld Let her go on."Mrs.Phillips must have had an excellent Intelligence Service at her command,for the stories were always true enough.

Efron was born and raised in California.He took school seriously.According to Efron,"he would go mad if he got a B and not an A in school,and that he was a class clown."It was his father who encouraged him to act.He took part in school performances and with a local theater group.He also took singing lessons.He graduated high school in 2006 and was accepted at the University of Southern California to study film.But he postponed it-why study movies when you can star in them.

"You always have to remember that bullies want to bring you down became you have something that they admire,"Efron said."Also,when you get made fun of,when people point out your weaknesses,it's an opportunity for you to rise above".
