根据短文内容,选择正确答案。

    Maybe you are not familiar with the name Emma Watson, but you are sure to know Hermione Granger, the main character in Harry Potter. It is Watson who played the role of Hermione in all eight Harry Potter films, adapted from the bestselling book series by J. K. Rowling, from 2001 to 2011.

    In September 2014, Watson, as a UN Women Goodwill Ambassador, gave a speech to start the UN Women campaign HeForShe, which fights for women equality.

In January 2016, Watson announced, on Facebook and Twitter, that she would be starting a club for females. Soon after, the book club, “Our Shared Shelf'', whose name was suggested by a fan, was formally set up on a popular book review website Goodreads.

In explaining the reason for starting this book club, Watson wrote on the website, “As part of my work with UN Women, I have started reading as many books and essays about equality as I can get. There is so much amazing stuff there! Funny, inspiring, sad, thought—provoking! I've been discovering so much……. I decided to start a book club, as l want to share what I'm learning and hear your thoughts too. The plan is to choose and read a book every month, and then discuss it during the month's last week.”

    Our Shared Shelf has already discussed some famous books including Caitlin Moran's How to Be a Woman, Alice Walker's The Color Purple and Gloria Steinem's My Life on the Road. Watson told the group that she read Mom&Me&Mom. It is one of her favorites, so it will be the November's choice.

举一反三
    As Danny put his lunch tray onto the cafeteria table, milk spilled all over his sandwich. He sat down, hung his head forward, looking at the food in front of him. Frowning, he began peeling the soggy milk-soaked bread (浸透牛奶的) from his sandwich. “This is the worst thing I've ever done!” he said, “It's not that bad,” said his friend Elena, who was sitting across from him. “Just get another sandwich.”
   “Sandwich? What sandwich? I am talking about the talent contest. It's only two weeks away and I don't know what I'm doing! Everybody will laugh at me. There's no way to avoid it!”
   “Don't be so negative, Danny,” said Elena as she rolled her eyes. “You're going to be great, You're very capable. You have the skills to do just about anything.”
    Danny moved his lunch tray to the side and rested his head on the table.
   “Sit up Danny,” ordered Elena, “I have an idea. Let's brainstorm a list of things you could do. We'll divide the list into categories or groups. Let's start with music. You play the piano, right?”
   “I stopped taking lessons in the third grade,” said Danny.
   “What about singing a song?” suggested Elena.
    Danny shook his head no. “Let's move on to another category.”
   “What about performing magic tricks?”asked Elena, as she twisted thin strands of hair around her finger.
   “I don't know how to play magic tricks!”Danny almost shouted. “Elena, how did I get myself into this huge mess?”
    “Stop being so…” Elena paused, “That's it, DRAMATIC!”Elena shouted excitedly. “You could do a dramatic reading. You definitely have the talent for it. Mrs. Pace always calls on you to read aloud in class. You could read a play aloud. Maybe you could even get extra credit from Mrs. Pace. She rewards students with points for doing extra reading work.”
    Danny thought for a minute. Then he smiled. “Elena,” Danny said, “You are a great friend!”
    Elena smiled back. “I just want to make sure you are a bright, shiny star when you step out on stage.”
