Question

【题目】Answer the questions (根据短文内容回答下列问题)：

I lost my childhood to Harry Potter.

---Tom Felton

After nearly ten years, the Harry Potter bandwagon (热潮) is going to end. And for the young stars who have spent half their lives filming the movie, the pain of saying goodbye could not be greater. But there are several things Tom Felton---also known as Harry's school nemesis (复仇者)

Draco Malfoy --- is looking forward to. And from the moment you see him, it is clear why.

"For the past ten years we haven't had much free time to do other things. I certainly haven't had much free time to keep my own hair color, or lie in the sun, or do anything with only a little danger like skiing. It was nice to go on holiday and not have to make up on the SPF50 and sit under an umbrella with three caps on," Tom said.

For all the fame and wealth that Harry Potter has brought its young stars, there have been plenty of downsides, too.

Tom is now 23 but talks like he is ten years older, and his co-stars have been working since they were young children. And while he says he has no regrets about being in the movies, he also says that at the same time he had to grow up fast.

"One thing that people keep on saying to me is that the wealth and the fame must have made up fax missing out on my childhood," he says. "But the idea of money ---putting a price on your childhood--- is ridiculous (可笑的). You will never get those years back. Don't you think you can put a price on them?"

"And to me, fame is not a positive thing. The idea of being famous is a lot better than the reality."

The youngest of four brothers brought up in a middle-class home in Epsom, Surrey, he honestly says that no one in the family knew what to do with all the money he was making. His mother invested some of it in property (不动产) but told him the rest was his to do with what he wanted.

【解析】

本文介绍了电影《哈利·波特》中德拉科·马尔福扮演者汤姆·费尔顿，为拍摄这部电影所付出的经历。他认为出名和富有并不总是好事。

【1】根据 “But there are several things Tom Felton---also known as Harry's school nemesis (复仇者)

Draco Malfoy --- is looking forward to.”可知，汤姆·费尔顿——也被称为哈利的学校“复仇者”德拉科·马尔福，故填Harry's school nemesis, Draco Malfoy.

【2】根据“After nearly ten years, the Harry Potter bandwagon (热潮) is going to end. And for the young stars who have spent half their lives filming the movie, the pain of saying goodbye could not be greater.”可知，汤姆·费尔顿花费了几乎10年来拍摄电影《哈利·波特》。故填For nearly ten years.

【3】根据“I certainly haven't had much free time to keep my own hair color, or lie in the sun, or do anything with only a little danger like skiing.”可知，汤姆·费尔顿在这部电影里做演员时，不能保持自己的头发颜色，不能躺在阳光下，不能去滑雪。故填(He couldn't do things like) keeping his own hair color, (lying in the sun or skiing. )

【4】根据“But the idea of money ---putting a price on your childhood--- is ridiculous (可笑的). You will never get those years back. Don't you think you can put a price on them?”可知，汤姆·费尔顿认为给自己的童年标上价格是可笑的，因为他觉得自己再也回不去那些岁月了。故填Because he thought he would never get those years back.

【5】根据“His mother invested some of it in property (不动产) but told him the rest was his to do with what he wanted.”可知，他母亲把一部分钱投资在房地产上，但告诉他其余的钱由他自己支配。所以，他母亲不是把所有的钱都投资在房地产上，因此用否定回答，故填No, she didn't.

【6】根据“But the idea of money ---putting a price on your childhood--- is ridiculous (可笑的). You will never get those years back.”和“And to me, fame is not a positive thing. The idea of being famous is a lot better than the reality.”可知，从汤姆的童年经历中，我们可知，出名和富有并不总是好事。故填Being famous and rich is not always good. (Any reasonable answer is acceptable.)
