But attention is not the only thing that this cat is getting. Her fortune is estimated at $ 100 million, more than many famous actors and musicians earn.So how did it all start?Grumpy Cats owner Tabatha Bundesen was working as a waitress when her brother Bryan decided to take a photo of her funny-looking cat and post it on Reddit, the social-news site. In a matter of hours, she became a sensation(轰动).It got 1 million views on Imgur in 48 hours.Grumpy Cats real name is Tardar Sauce and she actually has a condition called dwarfism, which makes her constantly frowning. But that unique frown turned out to be worth millions of dollars.Tabatha, who lives in Arizona in US, isnt complaining. She still remembers that September 22, 2012, when her life turned upside down.Since her cat became a worldwide phenomenon, she was able to quit her job and devote her life to managing her cats modeling career. Sounds unbelievable, but its true. She says that her only job now is to book Tardars photo shoots, commercials(商业广告), and other appearances.What are the other benefits of owning a million-dollar cat?Apart from not having to work, Tabatha can travel all the time. She has time and money to visit her family more often and enjoy her life. She never could have imagined just how huge her cat would become, but she always knew Tardar was very special. And she is glad to see her cat bringing joy to so many people around the world.As for the millions of dollars Grumpy has earned, they come from all the products, commercials and a best-selling book.

B. she feels very tired of her famous cat.C. she only manages her cats modeling career. D. she is too busy to go home to visit her parents. B.Not all memories are sweet. Some people spend all their lives trying to forget bad experiences. Violence and traffic accidents can leave people with terrible physical and emotional scars. Often they relive these experiences in nightmares（噩梦）.Now American researchers think they are close to developing a pill, which will help people forget bad memories. The pill is designed to be taken immediately after a frightening experience. They hope it might reduce, or possibly erase(抹去), the effect of painful memories.In November, experts tested a drug on people in the US and France. The drug stops the body releasing chemicals that fix memories in the brain. So far the research has suggested that only the emotional effects of memories may be reduced, not that the memories are erased.The research has caused a great deal of argument. Some think it is a bad idea, while others support it.Supporters say it could lead to pills that prevent or treat soldiers troubling memories after war. They say that there are many people who suffer from terrible memories. Some memories can ruin peoples lives. They come back to you when you dont want to have them in a daydream or nightmare. They usually come with very painful emotions, said Roger Pitman, a professor of psychiatry at Harvard Medical School. This could relieve a lot of that suffering.But those who are against the research say that changing memories is very dangerous because memories give us our identity. They also help us all avoid the mistakes of the past.All of us can think of bad events in our lives that were terrible at the time but make us who we are, Im not sure we want to wipe those memories out, said Rebecca Dresser, a medical ethicist.24. The passage is mainly about _.A. a new medical invention B. a new research on the pillC. a way of erasing painful memories D. an argument about the research on the pill25. The drug tested on people can _.A. cause the brain to fix memories B. prevent body producing certain chemicals C. stop people remembering bad experiences D. erase the emotional effects of memories26. Which of the following does Rebecca Dresser agree with?A. Some memories can ruin peoples livesB. People want to get rid of bad memoriesC. Experiencing bad events makes us different from othersD.

For example, if your topic is about environmental problems in America, you might ask, “Why do you think environmental protection is important in America?” 32 Hit the streets with confidence. 33 Say, “Excuse me, I work for XYZ News, and I was wondering if you could share your opinion about this topic.” This is a quick way to get people to warm up to you.Move on to the next person if someone tells you she is not interested in talking on camera. Dont get discouraged. 34 Each interview that you get on the street shouldnt be longer than ten minutes. As soon as you get the answer you need, move on to the next person. Make sure that as you go from interview to interview, you are getting a variety of answers. If everyone is giving you the same answer, you wont be able to use it.
