My Favorite Actresses

好莱坞是另一个摆放花瓶的好地方。她们娇嫩并且易碎，会随着四季的变化被时间侵蚀，跟着时尚的更迭被人们忘记。正如在变相怪杰里初次登场的卡梅隆迪亚兹总是卡在红地毯的瓶颈，生死时速里的桑德拉布洛克被定格在了傻大姐的形象；勇夺了世界最性感女性的杰西卡阿尔芭逃不出靠长相和身材吸引观众的怪圈，而接她班的梅根福克斯也从詹妮弗的肉身开始走上同样充斥着风卷残云的道路。

相反，看看我们梅（丽尔斯特里普）姐老大不小了依然能在妈妈咪呀里焕发青春，两届影后朱迪福斯特演遍了从坏女孩到英勇女警的各级各类角色……她们的美貌似乎早被遗忘在了陈年旧事的廊桥遗梦和旨在提醒观众的几句台词中，但永恒的，是不会因衰老而丧失的演技。

不过，对女人来讲演技与美貌并不是有着与生俱来的不兼容，在皱纹满布未经修饰的面孔前，我们还是有机会欣赏她们的精彩表演——


从模特到演员，她无法避免地在红磨坊中花瓶过。人们羡慕模特的身材时，一米八的身高也让她失去了不少机会（因为太高了没演成史密斯夫妇，间接导致了皮特与安妮斯顿的离婚，罪过，罪过……）。不过她努力火花还是在冷山里得到了惊世骇俗的绽放，那个因为一见钟情苦苦在战场这边守着一面之缘的未婚夫的执着足以感动所有评委了吧。从片头一个未经世事的淑女到片尾带着侍女背负下所有家务的妇人，一点一滴在短短两个小时里积汇成了巨大的变化，细腻而又绵长。


第一次看到她是在逍遥法外里那个因为摘掉牙套而乐得欢天喜地的天真小护士，一个不起眼的都快算不上主角的角色，短暂的演出几乎被莱昂纳多迪卡普里奥，汤姆汉克斯的光辉和斯皮尔伯格的安排挤到了电影院里最阴冷潮湿的夹缝里。但随着魔法奇缘的崛起，在百老汇唱歌剧出身的她在奥斯卡颁奖晚会上连唱了三首被提名的歌曲（悲剧的是居然一首都没中奖）。越来越多的呼声表明了连续和梅姐合作的她已经成为了未来影后的最有力争夺者。


这个侧面像极了奥黛丽赫本，只是眉毛细了点。不敢说喜欢她13岁时那个樱桃小丸子的发型，但最深入人心的也是这个杀手不太冷里的她，无所慰藉的忧郁，不可救药的早恋，童心未泯的调皮，和命中注定的悲伤。戏场外这个来自圣地耶路撒冷的女孩则像是被天神眷顾的孩子，星路上有那么多大牌护航——最早的让雷诺和吕克贝松，之后的杰克尼克尔森，阿尔帕西诺，达斯汀霍夫曼……数着数着已经三十多岁了，不过她所经历的不是靠脸蛋就能拥有的，而是来自于小小的马蒂达的刻骨铭心和诗情画意。

I'm almost there

Beforehand I've got conditional admissions from University of Melbourne and University of New South Welsh, now I get 7.5 on my IELTS, and the application for Australian National University is on the way, all I want to say is, C'est La Vie.


After so many torturous nights, I finally got the result it deserved to be. I was even doubting whether it was my destiny to stay with all my insults and injuries, those days were so desperate to me that I thought I wouldn't make it through. Yesterday I watched Terminator4 director's cut edition, John Connor's last line touched me: There is no fate, only what you make.

This is it, I knew that hard work was required if I want to make a great coup, but I didn't, 'cause I thought it would be easy for me, for someone like me. But I was wrong, that was the nemesis for my arrogance and dereliction which I had to pay.

Now I know that for whatever I'm doing, I have to fight until the last moment, that's the spirit. I've imparted this point to Bloodmoon, good luck to him.

"The survivors called this day the Judgement Day, but they only lived to face a new nightmare..."

Life is always uneasy, no matter under what circumstances. I've done what I was required to do, so what now?

NVIDIA written test(confidential)

3 days before, I was informed that I passed NVIDIA resume verification and I was qualified for their written exam, for the position Project Manager... even though I have been told that this position usually requires working experience , which I don't have~
This afternoon I went to Jiao Tong University to attend that test, there were so many people, applying for different positions. We all sit in one room, but different position appliers had different papers.

Here comes the Intellectual test(which I think is really easy) part of the written paper for Project Manager(by memory):

1.There are 3 boxes, labelled "APPLE", "ORANGE" and "APPLE and ORANGE" for each, but they are all labelled incorrectly. You can ask me to "pick one kind of fruit from one box" for only once, how can you correct all the labels?

2.XXX has 6 black socks and 6 white socks all mixed in one drawer, it is late and there is no light, which means she can't see anything. How many socks does she have take one time to ensure that she will get at least one pair?

3.Mary's mum has 4 children: first one is April, second one is May, third one is June, who would be the fourth one?

4.You only have a 50 gallon measurement device and a 30 gallon measurement device, who can you measure 40 gallon water precisely without using anything else?

IELTS writing practice 2

Topic :

“Prevention is better than cure.”

Out of a country’s health budget , a large proportion should be diverted from treatment to spending on health education and preventative measures.

To what extent do you agree or disagree with this statement?

 

Writting:

As the health issure is drawing more and more attention of publicity and society , many people have started to seek for methods to keep illness away rather than to cure it . Some argued whether this kind of researches or implementations are viable or worth conducting . Individually , I hold that it is much better to prevent than later to heal .

The importance of popularizing the awareness of preventing diseases is much more acknowledged  in the modern society than ever . Medical specialists recommended that by avoiding to catch a cold , the ratio of the cases of this disease would be much lower ; therefore , a large amount of money can be saved . In this respect , being away from illness not only means the well-being of a person , but also indicates more profit for the company who hires him or her , which means , firms can suffer less  from human  resource lost in the unhealthy states of employees. Also , the ubiquitous education of health-keeping can contribute  to the prosperity and strength of a nation as a whole . The H1N1 has costed billions of dollars in China , as the infect rate is 10 times to a normal cold or fever . Although seldom do people die from this , they have to pay 20000 RMB for the treatment , and the places where they live or work have to be locked , which would sometimes even cost fatally for small firm . This example can best characterize the pivotal role of preventing a disease .

Some insist the cure procedure is of more priority , even some joke that without illness , hospitals would disappear . Admittedly , in some degree , confronting an unwanted ill report sheet is inevitable----no one can be ensured to be unbreakable----thus the medical technology is imperative to lower the death incidence . However , the maintainance of health is not less essential , this can be proved by the prevailing of vaccine manufacturing . People want to keep away from horrible things as far as possible rather than addressing a problem after encounted .

In all , it is manifest that the emphasis on preventing can never be too much , and this will definitely benefit us in a variety of aspects .

Is this still AC Milan

As Hannu Tihinen's back-heel insulted AC , I started to doubt whether this team is the same one that once defeated United in Champions League .





There was Kaka' , but as he left , Italy League A is confronting a recession now . Fortunately , it's not the only one , in fact , Real Madrid brought 3 best players from the 3 other top leagues out of 4 , C.Ronaldo , Benzema...

Who are staying in AC now ?

So old Nesta , Pirlo , Ambrosini , Inzaghi and Seedorf ...

HEROS season 4 —— Sylar vs T-Bag

I’ve been waiting for so long , finally they come again~

Season 3 was full of criticism , I wish the new season will be better----anyway , they’ve got T-Bag ~

It seemed that he’d got great power , he could mantle the grave like Bruce Almighty , and later he was proved to be a … something like a mental painter , a leader of a new group of “HEROS” . And he had been trying to bring Sylar , Peter and … maybe Tracy to their side .

Sylar , my favorite one , who could only appear as a ideological entity , was eager to get his body and mind back , he kept disturbing Matt to make him disordered . His smile was just as evil as he was…but I like it~

On the other way around , “Nathan” was also confused , about his body , history , and ability . He was revealing his true identity little by little , although Angela wanted to keep him as Nathan , that would obviously opposite viewers’ will ~ We all wish Sylar can come back , anyhow , he’s got a real hard company ---- T-Bag , the competition for evil side is really stiff~ I hope there will be a good play between them~

Hiro’s illness turned out to be very serious , doctor said his time was not long , but whatever , these two Japanese were just like the squirrel…or chipmuck----I don’t know what it is----in the Ice Age , they are the gimmick , or the jest in the series , this kind of roles must be indispensible . Just as our aunt Tracy Strauss revived again and again in a variety of ways and reasons .

Can’t wait be see what happens when Sylar meets Samuel ~
