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 at18. 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 Tonya wards for best actress in it. After that Hollywood producers began to choose her
to be in the movie.
Jessica Tandy said she hated seeing herself in the movies。

She was surprised when she won the Academy Award for Driving Miss Daisy. She said that the
wonderful part she had made up for her lack of experience in movies.

C. Jessica was as confident as commonly considered
D. winning the Academy Award was a surprise to Jessica
【答案】35. B 36. C 37。

Tandy的一生，主人公少时生活困难，只靠母亲一人支撑，主人公日后通过自己对电影不倦的追求终于在自己有生之年荣获奥斯卡奖这一殊荣。

36。

细节理解题，本题题目意为”什么使得主人公第一次被公众所熟知?"通过对文章的于都我们可以将答案定位到文章的第三段Their wedding pictures were on the front page of many British newspapers.,该句话意为“他们婚礼将他们放到了英国各大报纸的头条。

”综合分析选项C选项 Her marriage with Jack Hawkins。

他与霍金斯的婚礼,故选C项.
37. 细节理解题，该题要求考生将下列事情发生的顺序进行排序,通过对文章的理解主人公先是表演The Manderson Girls.，接着又搬到美国去，然后又和Hume Cronyn结婚，最后才在
A Streetcar Named Desire扮演主角，故本题选择A项。

38. 主旨大意题，问题意为“通过对文章的阅读，我们可以得知什么？”文章前半部分写道，由于受到哥哥的影响主人公喜欢上了表演，故A选项“ Jessica wasn’t interested in acting in movies”杰西卡并不对电影表演感兴趣，该选项与题意不符故将其排除，B选项Jessica would perform better if given a better part如果给他一个更好的角色他会演的更为出色,通过对文章的理解这可知他并非是通过这一戏剧而出名，而是通过她的婚姻,故将B选项排除，C选项Jessica was as confident as commonly considered
杰西卡像其他人一样的自信,文章中写道She was surprised when she won the Academy
Award for Driving Miss Daisy. 他对自己能拿奖很吃惊，因而体现出他对自己并不是很自信,故将C项排除，故本体选择D项winning the Academy Award was a surprise to Jessica。

Your house may have an effect on your figure。

Experts say the way you design your home could play a role in whether you pack on the pounds or keep them off。

You can make your environment work for you instead of against you. Here are some ways to turn your home into part of your diet plan.
Open the curtains and turn up the lights。

Dark environments are more likely to encourage overeating， for people are often less self-conscious(难为情) when they’re in poorly lit places – and so more likely to eat lots of food。

If your home doesn’t have enough window light, get more lamps and flood the place with brightness。

Mind the colors。

Research suggests warm colors fuel our appetites. In one study， people who ate meals in a blue room consumed 33 percent less than those
in a yellow or red room. Warm colors like yellow make food appear more
appetizing, while cold colors make us less hungry. So when it’s time to repaint, go blue。

Don’t forget the clock – or the radio。

People who eat slowly tend to consume about 70 fewer calories（卡路里) per meal than those who rush through their meals. Begin keeping track of the time， and try to make dinner last at 30 minutes。

And while you’re at it, actually sit down to eat. If you need some help slowing down, turning on relaxing music. It makes you less likely to rush through a meal.
Downsize the dishes。

Big serving bowls and plants can easily makes us fat. We eat about 22 percent more when using a 12—inch plate instead of a 10—inch plate。

When we choose a large spoon over a smaller one, total intake(摄入）
jumps by 14 percent. And we’ll pour about 30 percent more liquid into a short，wide glass than a tall， skinny glass。
