The singer and actress Eartha Kitt was born into a poor family in South Carolina in1927. When Eartha was eight, her stepfather（继父）didn't want Eartha to live with them. She was sent to New York City to live with an aunt. The relationship was difficult. The aunt helped pay for piano and dance lessons for Eartha. But she also treated the girl badly.

Eartha lived on the streets and worked in a factory as a young teenager. But she kept up her dance lessons. One day, she decided to try out for a famous African-American dance company called the Katherine Dunham Company. Soon, Eartha was performing in shows around the world with the company.

In Paris, Eartha left the dance company to sing in a nightclub. Her voice was unusual. People there liked her singing. She learned French quickly and had many French fans.

The film director Orson Welles discovered Eartha singing in Paris. He called her "the most exciting woman in the world". Welles asked her to play a lead part in a play that he was directing（执导）and also playing a part in. Later, Eartha returned to NewYork and appeared in the Broadway show New Faces of 1952. A humorous song she sang about a bored, spoiled woman became famous. Eartha appeared in the 1957 movie The Mark of the Hawk. She was very careful about choosing her roles in films. Her other films in the 1950s included St. Louis Blues and Anna Lucasta. Throughout the rest of the 1950s and early 1960s, Kitt recorded, worked in films, television, and nightclubs, and returned to the Broadway stage. In 1964, Kitt helped open the Circle Star Theater in San Carlos, California. In the late 1960s, she played "Catwoman" in the television series Batman. This role made her really famous.

As students, what do you usually do in your life? {#blank#}1{#/blank#}Luckily, here is some advice for you to make it easy. {#blank#}2{#/blank#}

Most middle school students have two or three hours of homework every day. It is a good idea to make some kinds of homework plans(计划), especially(尤其) if you want to do sports or other activities after school. 

{#blank#}3{#/blank#}

A bedroom, study or any quiet place is good for you to do your homework. But don't study on your comfortable bed, or you might fall asleep there. 

{#blank#}4{#/blank#}

It's not good for students to study for long, so have some rest and you can learn better.

Sometimes you study so hard, but some subjects are still too difficult. You can ask teachers and classmates for help. 

 On 28 of March Richard Byrd stood outside the small house. He shook hands with the men who were leaving. They were heading back to the main camp on the coast of Antarctica(南极洲). However, Byrd would1 to work at the base camp.

"I don't like leaving you here alone, " Pete Demas said. "I' ll be 2 , " Byrd replied. He was looking forward to the challenge of spending the winter at the base camp. He would be recording the weather. There was enough food and fuel(燃料) in the tiny house. He felt sure 3 would go wrong.

4 , something did go wrong. Byrd was burning the fuel for heat but the fumes(有毒气体) were not leaving the house. Slowly he was poisoned (中毒). When he finally came back to life, he made himself into his sleeping bag. Three days later, he 5 it was a Sunday. The men in the main camp would 6 his radio message. Byrd moved hard out of bed and made the call 7 . He didn't want the men to know how 8 he was. It was too dangerous for them to come to save him.

By will-power alone, Byrd managed to stay alive. He was so 9 that he could hardly walk. But he forced himself to do the basics. He 10 food and made myself eat. He took 11 of weather and sent radio messages. But by late June, the men 12 that something. was wrong. Most of the time, Byrd's messages made no sense.

 On August 11, Demas and two others reached the base camp. They could 13 recognize(认出) Byrd. He was very thin and looked terrible. Byrd greeted(问候) them and then 14 to the ground. The men had arrived in time. After two months of care, Byrd's good15 returned. He and his men worked together again.
