Everyone would like to be a millionaire but can you imagine having over S 30 million and only being 20 years old? Britney Spears from Kentwood,a small town in Louisiana,is an international pop superstar with not only S 30 million but also a S 2 million house in LA.At her young age,she can look after her family financially all her life.
This year is a big year for Britney,she is currently on a 31 date tour of the US and every concert is a sell out.That means she plays in front of a crowd of around 18,000 every time.It’s a tiring schedule but brings great rewards.When touring,she goes to bed at around 1 a.m.and then has a lie-in until 1 p.m.or 2 p.m.the next day.Her philosophy (人生哲学) is to take care of the body and be relaxed but always make sure you work hard and have fun.
Spears is not satisfied with only touring and selling nearly 40 million records,so she decided to branch out into the movie business and try a bit of acting.She made an appearance in “Austin Powers 3” in 2002 and she filmed a teenage comedy that was released in 2003.In this movie,she had a starring role.The movie was her own concept and she picked the writer.
In spite of the fact that she has not enjoyed the same popularity as a pop singer so far,she insists on trying more roles.For Britney,acting is another way to express herself and she is enthusiastic about it all.If her movies are successful,her bank account is sure to grow by another few million dollars but she has been quoted as saying she does it for the love,not for money.

【小题1】 . You probably think you will never be a top student. This is not necessarily so, however, anyone can become a better student if he or she wants to. Here’s how:
Plan your time carefully. When planning your work, you should make a list of things that you have to do. After making this list, you should make a schedule of your time. First your time for eating, sleeping, dressing, etc. Then decide a good, regular time for studying. 【小题2】 . A weekly schedule may not solve all your problems, but it will force you to realize what is happening to your time.
Find a good place to study. Look around the house for a good study area. Keep this space, which may be a desk or simply a corner of your room, free of everything but study materials. No games, radios, or television. When you sit down to study, concentrate on the subject.
Make good use of your time in class. 【小题3】 . Listening carefully in class means less work later. Taking notes will help you remember what the teacher says. Study regularly. When you get home from school, go over your notes, review the important points that your teacher is going to discuss the next day, read that material. 【小题4】 If you do these things regularly, the material will become more meaningful, and you’ll remember it longer.

I am a writer. I spend a great deal of my time thinking about the power of language — the way it can evoke(唤起) an emotion, a visual image, a complex idea, or a simple truth. Language is the tool of my trade. And I use them all — all the Englishes I grew up with.
Born into a Chinese family that had recently arrived in California, I've been giving more thought to the kind of English my mother speaks. Like others, I have described it to people as "broken" English. But I feel embarrassed to say that. It has always bothered me that I can think of no way to describe it other than "broken", as if it were damaged and needed to be fixed, as if it lacked certain wholeness. I've heard other terms used, "limited English," for example. But they seem just as bad, as if everything is limited, including people's perceptions(认识) of the limited English speaker.
I know this for a fact, because when I was growing up, my mother's "limited" English limited my perception of her. I was ashamed of her English. I believed that her English reflected the quality of what she had to say. That is, because she expressed them imperfectly her thoughts were imperfect. And I had plenty of evidence to support me: the fact that people in department stores, at banks, and at restaurants did not take her seriously, did not give her good service, pretended not to understand her, or even acted as if they did not hear her.
I started writing fiction in 1985. And for reasons I won't get into today, I began to write stories using all the Englishes I grew up with: the English she used with me, which for a lack of a better term might be described as "broken", and what I imagine to be her translation of her Chinese, her internal (内在的) language, and for that I sought to preserve the essence, but neither an English nor a Chinese structure: I wanted to catch what language ability tests can never show; her intention, her feelings, the rhythms of her speech and the nature of her thoughts.
46. By saying "Language is the tool of my trade", the author means that ______.
A. she uses English in foreign trade B. she is fascinated by languages
C. she works as a translator D. she is a writer by profession
47. The author used to think of her mother's English as ______.

B. The author's mother was not respected sometimes.
C. The author' mother had positive influence on her.
D. Broken English always reflects imperfect thoughts.
