16．Singing had always been an important part of Gloria Estefan's life．"Since I was three years old，I sang．I sang everything，"Gloria said．"Cubans，"she added，"are a musical people"．
Gloria was born in Cuba in 1957．Her family left the country just before Fidel Castro came to power．In Miami，where the family settled，many people did not accept Cuban immigrants．In first grade，she spoke little English，but she worked hard to learn the language．Six months after she entered school，she won an award for reading in English!
When Gloria was ten，her father returned from the Vietnam War．Soon，the family realized he wasn't well．They soon found out that he was badly ill．Her mother went back to teaching at school to support the family．Gloria cared for her father and her younger sister．
She still made the honor roll，and she still had her music，but Gloria was lonely．However，when the band leader Emilio Estefan came to speak at her high school，Gloria sang for him．He asked her to join his band．It was the beginning of the Miami Sound Machine．
Within a few months，the Miami Sound Machine was the top band in Miami．In 1978Gloria and Emilio married．
At first，the Miami Sound Machine was known only in Miami．Then the band signed with CBS Records．Estefan and his band became stars．
Since then，the Miami Sound Machine has sold millions of records．Gloria has done more than just singing when Hurricane Andrew hit central Florida in 1992．She used only two weeks to organize an all-star concert that raised﹩2million for the people who suffered in the hurricane．"We needed a party after that disaster，"she said．
Gloria said，"You have to stay true to the music you really love to do．There will always be people who will tell you，‘that won't work．'You've got to be firm in spite of difficulties．Stick to it-that's the main thing．"

14．Everyone knows how the story of Cinderella ends，but did you ever really think about how she spent her days before she met the prince？Her daily routine was not fascinating．She did everything from sweeping the floor to cooking the meals．If someone had asked Cinderella，"Are there any kinds of household work that you particularly hate？"she probably would have answered，"Why，none，of course．Housework is my duty!"In the real world，however，most people have definite dislikes for certain sorts of household work．Two of these tasks are ironing clothes and washing dishes．
Ironing clothes is most hated because it is not a task that can be completed quickly or thoughtlessly．Each piece of clothing must be handled individually，so ironing a basket of laundry can take hours!After ironing a piece of clothing with great caution，which-requires smoothing out the fabric，and following the seams （线缝），you need to place it on a hanger as soon as possible．If you do not follow these directions carefully，it might become wrinkled （有皱纹的） and you have to start over．Perhaps that is why ironing is not a favorite thing to do．It calls for extreme attention to detail from beginning to end．
Another household job that many people dislike is washing dishes．Of course，some people claim that this work is no longer a problem because we have dishwashers now!However，no one would argue that dishes，silverware，and especially pots and pans washed in a dishwasher don't come out as clean as they do when washed by hand．For this reason，many of us continues to wash our dishes by hand，but we are not necessarily happy doing it．Cleaning dishes is a job that not only takes a lot of energy but also requires the patience to wash and dry them．In addition，unlike ironing clothes，washing dishes is a thing that usually must be done every day．I don't know how Cinderella felt about this particular task，but I believe that most people hate it as much as I do．
