unconventional. from his early life, his path into acting and even in his choice of movie roles, we can see that depp has seldom taken the easy road. his willingness to take risks and do the unexpected has made depp one of the few hollywood actors able to achieve huge commercial success while maintaining his artistic reputation.born in 1963, depp was somewhat troublesome as a youth, occasionally turning to pettycrime and drugs. when his parents divorced in 1978, depp dropped out of school against his mothers wishes and started a music band called the kids. although the band achieved some success, they were seldom able to make_ends_meet,_with depp often unable to pay his rent, sleeping on friends sofas and even in his car.in 1983, the everoptimistic depp and his new wife, lori anderson, moved to hollywood, california to further depps musical career. but life there continued to be a struggle and depp was forced to take a job selling pens door to door to support his new family. his luck changed when loris exboyfriend, the famous actor nicholas cage, impressed by depps good looks and intelligence, suggested he become an actor and helped him get a small part in a movie. several other minor movie rolesand a divorce from lorifollowed, before depp got his big break three years later. he landed the leading role in the television series 21 jump street, playing a youthful undercover police officer. the hugely popular show turned depp into a teenage heartthrob overnight. he appeared on the cover of countless magazines and was much sought after by movie producers, eager to exploit his popularity with teenage girls.but depp left 21 jump street after three years, when it was at the height of its popularity, later admitting that he hated the shows unoriginal storylines and his “pretty boy” character. in the decade that followed, depp rejected repeated offers of “pretty boy” roles in bigbudget hollywood films. instead he established himself as a serious, somewhat dark, peculiar performer, consistently selecting roles in smaller, independent films that surprise critics and audiences alike.even in the movie that made depp an international superstar, the pirates of the caribbean (2003), he was barely recognizable as captain jack sparrow, the british, longhaired goldentoothed pirate. this and subsequent hit movies have placed depp at the very top of the commercial film industry (with a paycheck of $20 million for each such movie), but he still continues to make the smaller, stranger films for which he is so greatly admired.1. as a youth, depp could be described as a _aserious criminalbtrouble makercdrug addictdsuccessful musician2. the underlined expression “make ends meet” in paragraph 2 is closest in meaning to “_”aget

sharing专题限时训练(十三)故事型阅读理解(限时：25分钟)ai still remembermy hands and my fingers still rememberwhat used to lie in store for us on our return to school from the holidays. the trees in the school yard would be in full leaf again and the old leaves would be lying around like a muddy sea of leaves.“get that all swept up！” the headmaster would tell us. “i want the whole place cleaned up, at once！” there was enough work there, to last over a week. especially since the only tools with which we were provided were our hands, our fingers, our nails. “now see that its done properly, and be quick about it，” the headmaster would say to the older pupils, “or youll have to answer for it！”so at an order from the older boys we would all line up like peanuts about to cut and gather in crops. if the work was not going as quickly as the headmaster expected, the big boys, instead of giving us a helping hand, used to beat us with branches pulled from the trees. in order to avoid these blows, we used to bribe(贿赂) the older boys with the juicy cakes we used to bring for our midday meal. and if we happened to have any money on us, the coins changed hands at once. if we did not do this, if we were afraid of going home with an empty stomach or an empty purse, the blows were redoubled. they hit us so violently and with such evil enjoyment that even a deaf and dumb person would have realized that we were being whipped not so much to make us work harder, but rather to beat us into a state of obedience(服从) in which we would be only too glad to give up our food and money.occasionally one of us, worn out by such calculated cruelty, would have the courage to complain to the headmaster. he would of course be very angry, but the punishment he gave the older boys was always very smallnothing compared to what they had done to us. and the fact is that however much we complained, our situation did not improve in the slightest. perhaps we should have let our parents know what was going on, but somehow we never dreamed of doing so; i dont know whether it was loyalty or pride that kept us silent, but i can see now that we were foolish to keep quiet about it, for such beating is completely foreign to our nature.1. the statement “my hands and my fingers still remember” (para.1) means that “_”athe authors hands were severely injured in the cleaning upbthe author seldom did such hard work as the cleaning upcthe author was bullied by the big boys in the cleaning updthe authors hands were his only tool for the cleaning2. the headmaster would tell the students to clean up the school yard at the beginning

of logan canyon in utah are enough to make most drivers hands sweat. but andersen, a 46yearold father of four, wasnt expecting any trouble on the road last new years eve, when he set off for a ski trip to the bear river mountains with nineyearold daughter mia, fouryearold son baylor, and nineyearold neighbour kenya. andersen had driven through the canyon hundreds of times over the years. the weather was fine，but the higher they drove, the more slippery the roads became. rounding a sharp uturn at mile marker 473, andersen saw a truck that had skated off the road and immediately tapped his brakes. in an instant, the car was sliding at 25 miles per hour towards the shoulder of the highway, then rolling down a steep tenfoot dam towards the extremely cold logan river. as it hit the water, the car tipped towards the passenger side, hesitated, and then rolled onto its roof and sank into the river. there was no time to tell the kids what to do. the crash had broken a few windows, and within seconds, the upsidedown car was filled with water. “it was frightening how fast we were completely underwater，” remembers andersen, a softspoken product development manager. “youre thinking, is this how its all going to end？”having lost all sense of direction, andersen began to search the freezing water for the kids. mia had been right next to him in the front seat; now, in the blackness, he couldnt find her. i thought，“if i dont get out, maybe none of us are going to get out.” andersen got out of his seat belt, swam through a broken window, and, deeply and quickly, breathed air at the surface. thats when he saw a group of men, about ten in all, appear at the top of the dam. one after another, they raced down into the water. helping onto safety all the three children, they began to shout at the father, “who else is in the car？” andersen says respectfully, “it_was_like_the_sight_of_angels_(天使). ”1. what might be the main reason for the car accident?athe sharp uturn.bthe steep
