    Even though she's quite young, Drew Barrymore can be a Hollywood legend (传奇). She was born on February 22, 1975, in California. Being from a family that produced great actors, she quickly found her way into the spotlight (聚光灯).

    When she was 11 months old, she made her first advertisement（广告） on TV. She made her first movie at the age of 2. Five years later, she acted Gertie in Steven Spielberg's famous film E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial (1982). However, it wasn't all roses and sunshine when Barrymore was growing up. Most kid stars in Hollywood can't become stars as adults. And once they're out of order, their lives are in the darkness, smoking and drinking. So does Drew Barrymore

    As she was growing older, Barrymore started to realize that life is more meaningful than dangerous actions in the films. She started to build a career in 1997. She has made a series of successful films since then, including Charlie's Angels (2000) and 50 First Dates (2004).

    “In my life, there is darkness and drama（有刺激）, and I have yet to explore some of that in my work life. I just want to challenge (挑战) myself and prove that I can do more.”

    Actually, anyone who's not familiar with her disordered childhood might find it hard to believe she's such a sweet person now. Like many of the characters she plays in her comedy, Drew is easy-going and laughs a lot. In 2007, she was on the cover of People magazine's 100 Most Beautiful People issue.

    “Life is very interesting … in the end, some of your greatest pains, become your greatest strengths（力量）,” Drew said.

    I have organized and reorganized a meeting with the doctor for months. I also called the day before to2 all the paperwork would be ready for the x-rays.

    Then I arrived. It wasn't3 at all. The lady there4 didn't know what I was talking about. I felt my blood hot at once. I was getting so 5. Though I didn't shout at her, the way I was talking to her was not nice. The whole time she smiled and was 6 to me.

    When everything was finally done; I felt much better. I thought about the whole thing7 can I make it better? I could gift her a chocolate bar I had on me,8this needed more than that. I needed to say sorry .And that is exactly what I did.

    I was sorry for the way I spoke to her and told her it was wrong of me. She 9   again  with a smile. God helps me be that woman who smiles and forgives so 10. It's true that smile changed my anger and opened a door to understanding.
