Acting legend Elizabeth Taylor has passed away. She leaves behind her own life-long movie of ups and downs, marriage and divorce, and sickness and recovery. The world of entertainment is mourning the death of the last classic movie star. Taylor died of congestive heart failure in Los Angeles at the age of 79.
Taylor’s more than 50 movies included unforgettable portraits of innocence and of decadence, from the children’s classic “National Velvet” to Oscar-winning transgressions in “Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf ?” and “Butterfield 8”.
Fans gathered on Hollywood’s Walk of Fame to pay tribute(訟詞) to the actress. They placed tributes on her star and recalled about highlights of her career. Sandra, Hollywood, Ca
lifornia, said, “Well, she just led an amazing life, and she went out with style.” Phil Schuman, Reporter of KTTV in Los Angeles, said, “Well, I mean, her whole life story: child star, remarkably beautiful, all the marriages, almost dying, then all of her great work with AIDS research, Michael Jackson’s best friend. It’s just a one-of-a-kind story, I think.”
Taylor was not only the most blessed actress, but also the most loyal of friends and defender of homosexuals in Hollywood. She won a special Oscar, the Jean Her
sholt Humanitarian Award for her efforts to support AIDS research. “Is this something that we can bear? No. The AIDS crisis is not over.” Taylor once said.
Taylor’s private life is also a legend. She was a star at age 12, a bride and a divorcee at 16, a superstar at 19 and a widow at 26. She has married 8 times. One of her former husbands, former U.S. Senator John Warner, 84, paid tribute to the late star during an event in Washington.

I cheated on a unit test in math class this morning during second period with Mr. Burke. Afterward, I was too sick to eat lunch just thinking about it.
I came straight home from school, went to my room, and lay on the floor trying to decide whether it would be better to run away from home now or after supper. Mostly I wished I was dead. It wasn't even an accident that I cheated.
Yesterday Mr. Burke announced there'd be a unit test and anyone who didn't pass would have to come to school on Saturday, most particularly me, since I didn't pass the last unit test. I did plan to study just to prove to him that I'm plenty smart—which I am mostly—except in math.
Anyway, I got my desk ready to study on . Just when I was ready to work, Nicho came into my room with our new rabbit and it jumped on my desk and knocked the flashcards all over the floor. What a mess! Nicho and I finally took the rabbit outside but then Philip came to my room and also Marty from next door and before long it was dinner.
After dinner my father said I could watch a special on television if I'd done all my homework. Of course I said I had. That was the beginning. I felt terrible telling my father a lie about the homework.
It was nine o'clock when I got up to my room and that was too late to study for the unit test so I lay in my bed with the light off and decided what I would do the next day when I was in Mr. Burke's math class not knowing the 8- and 9-times tables. So, you see, the cheating was planned after all.
The next day, I'd go into class as usual, acting like things were going just great. I'd sit down next to Stanley Plummer—he is so smart in math it makes you sick—and from time to time, I'd glance over at his paper to copy the answers.
Lying on the floor of my room, I begin to think that probably I've been bad all along. It just took this math test to clinch it. I'll probably never tell the truth again. I tell my mother I'm sick when she calls me to come down for dinner. She doesn't believe me, but puts me to bed anyhow. I lie there in the early winter darkness wondering what terrible thing I'll be doing next when my father comes in and sits down on my bed.
"What's the matter?" he asks. "I've got a stomachache," I say. Luckily, it's too dark to see his face. "Is that all?" "Yeah." "Mommy says you've been in your room since school." "I was sick there too," I say. "She thinks something happened today and you're upset." That's the thing that really drives me crazy about my mother. She knows things sitting inside my head the same as if I was turned inside out.
"Well," my father says. I can tell he doesn't believe me. "My stomach is feeling sort of upset." I hedge. "Okay," he says and he pats my leg and gets up.
Just as he shuts the door to my room I call out to him in a voice I don't even recognize as my own. "How come?" he calls back not surprised or anything. So I tell him I cheated on this math test. To tell the truth, I'm pretty much surprised at myself. I didn't plan to tell him anything.
He doesn't say anything at first and that just about kills me. I'd be fine if he'd spank me or something. And then he says I'll have to call Mr. Burke. It's not what I had in mind. "Now?" I ask surprised. "Now," he says. He turns on the light and pulls off my covers. "I'm not going to," I say.
But I do it. I call Mr. Burke, and I tell him exactly what happened, even that I decided to cheat the night before the test. He says I'll come on Saturday to take another test, which is okay with me, and I thank him a whole lot for being understanding and all.
"Today I thought I was turning into a criminal," I tell my father when he turns out my light. Sometimes my father kisses me good night and sometimes he doesn't. I never know. But tonight he does.
【小題1】After the author cheated on the math test, he felt ____________.
| A．frightened because he might be caught |
| B．excited that he had succeeded |
| C．pleased that nobody knew it |
| D．unhappy because he had done something wrong |

| B．he decided to cheat when he knew there was going to be a test |
| C．he decided to cheat after he had wasted the whole evening |
| D．he had planned to cheat with Plummer before the test |
| A．She really knows what he is thinking |
| B．she was very strict with him |
| C．she doesn’t believe him |
| D．she asks him to come down for dinner |
| A．scolded the author severely |
| B．didn’t say anything and left |
| C．called Mr. Burke immediately |
| D．let the author make a call to Mr. Burke |

The kitten was rescued, but didn’t make it out of surgery in one piece.
The veterinarian at Laurel Oaks Animal Hospital in Kingsland, now acting for the kitten, says she sees animal abuse more often than you might imagine,
This kitten is playful and affectionate, but he has already seen how cruel a place the world can be .
Dr. Julie Clark Blount is the veterinarian treating the kitten now, “I think they were actually kicking him or throwing him or something of that nature,” said Blout, “They had damaged the whole bundle of nerves that are up in the armpit and control the functioning of the entire leg, and it’s not something that would get better over time.”
Blount says they were forced to amputate his front right leg, “It doesn’t seem to bother him at all and he runs and he plays and he loves attention and he’s pretty spoiled already, and he’s eating like a little pig, and doing fabulously for us,” said Blount
Doing well, but Blount says other pets out there never survive abuse.
“He’s one of the lucky one,” she said.
Blount says unless abusers like him are caught and prosecuted, they could go on to bigger and worse things.
‘We with there were more strict laws to protect animals because if they ‘re doing this to pets, then what would then end up doing to people, or kids, or anything else later on down the road?” wonders Blout. (243words)
