　　A

　　Although she was to become one of the world’s most attractive sex symbols,Marilyn Monroe’s start in life was very,very far from attractive.Born in Los Angeles on June 1,1926,Norma Jeane Mortenson spent most of her childhood in and out of foster homes(寄養家庭) and orphanages(孤兒院).“No one ever told me I was pretty when I was a little girl,”she once said.“All little girls should be told they’re pretty,even if they aren’t.”

　　By 16,Norma Jeane was a high school dropout and married,although she was a greedy reader and lover of the classics and would later take literature courses at University of California at Los Angeles.When her husband was sent to the South Pacific,19-year-old Norma Jeane worked in a munitions factory(軍工廠) in Southern California.

　　David Conover,a photographer working on a story for Yank magazine about women helping the war effort,photographed the curly-haired lady working on an airplane.He then referred her to another photographer,Bill Carroll,who was seeking a “good looking plain Jane” to photograph and gave her $20 for the work.From there,her modeling career was launched.

　　She landed an agent and a contract with Twentieth Century Fox,and divorced her first husband.Marilyn Monroe,the curly-haired bombshell,was born.She then became a very famous actress,model,and singer,starring in a number of commercially successful motion pictures during the 1950s and early 1960s.

　　Monroe died at the age of 36.Throughout her all-too-short life,Monroe had the rare ability to combine an intense sensuality with a genuine innocence.As her friend and favorite photographer,George Barris,observed,“She was a sweet little girl in a woman’s body.”Monroe herself once explained she knew what the photographers said about her.“Don’t let anyone tell you it is in her body.You know where it is.It’s in her mind.”

　　Montreal mermaid school lets you shake your tail

　　In Disney’s classic The Little Mermaid(美人魚),the main character Ariel sings her little heart out about wanting to walk among the humans.But in real life,many water enthusiasts long for the opposite experience:acting out a fantasy of swimming as beautifully and happily as a mermaid.1.?

　　AquaMermaid,which opened earlier this month in Montreal,Quebec,is a fitness program,offering classes in which people can slip on a monofin(單蹼) and live to tell the tale.

　　“I’d been doing some modeling and a friend asked me to do an underwater photo shoot wearing a mermaid tail,”explained founder Marielle Chartier Hénault,24,on how she came up with the idea.“2. And I felt like it was such a happy environment.”

　　Inspired by the response she’d received at the photo shoot,Chartier Hénault decided to launch her own business offering the experience to others as part of a fitness program.

　　“Some people think it’s a joke,”she said.“And in general they assume it’s really easy to move around wearing a monofin.3.　”?

　　Because of the dual(雙的) languages spoken in Montreal,the school operates under two names,AquaMermaid and the French translation AquaSirene.4.

　　Since launching in the first week of February,more than 150 people have signed up for classes,birthday parties or other private events featuring mermaid school instruction.

　　“It has been cool that so many men have come out,”said Chartier Hénault,of her mermen students.

　　More than any health benefits,Chartier Hénault feels she is allowing anyone from age 7 and up to live out a fantasy.She said,“5.　”?

　　A.And now they can.

　　B.I am hoping to bring the idea to the U.S.soon.

　　C.But a mermaid’s appeal appears to be universal.

　　D.But once they put the tail on they realize it is hard.

　　E.People kept stopping by the pool,laughing and smiling.

　　F.It’s more about having fun and having a dream come true.

　　G.You really need to understand the weight movement of your body.

　　Ⅲ.書面表達

　　日常生活中,你或你身邊的人可能為一點小事而大發脾氣,事后又感到后悔。請結合自己的經歷,用英語寫一篇短文。內容包括:

　　1.事情的原因、經過、結果;

　　2.你的感想。
