Even though she’s quite young, Drew Barrymore can be a Hollywood legend (傳奇). 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 (聚光燈).

When she was 11 months old, she made her first advertisement 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. (1982).

However, it wasn’t all roses and sunshine when Barrymore was growing up. She once went to the dark side and became a big problem. Most kid stars in Hollywood fail to become stars as adults. And most of the time, once they’re out of the spotlight, they stay out. But Drew Barrymore doesn’t. 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, and I have yet to explore some of that in my work life. I just want to challenge 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,” Drew said.

Hobbies should be an important part of everyone's life. Today, we’re going to talk about one of the oldest and most popular hobbies: collecting. Want to start your own collection? Here are the ways.

__________

First, you have to decide what you’re going to collect. It’s okay to pick something that simply interests you. If you love reading, books are a great choice.

__________

You need to start with usual and cheap pieces, and they will build your collection’s foundation (基礎). As you’re doing your homework (see below), you’ll come to know those pieces. Think of it like a pyramid(金字塔)—- there has to be a foundation before you can move up into better pieces.

__________

Before collecting, do some research on what you’re collecting. Of course there are collectors like you. So get on the website, ask them questions and find out where to start.

__________

It’s easy for many starters to spend a lot of money, end up with many things, and finally lose interest. The beauty of having a collection is that it should be something you can make into a “career—beginning as a young man and continuing through retirement (退休)”. Make it a goal to add just a few pieces to your collection per year.

1.From the first paragraph, we can know collecting is a(n)____hobby.

A.new but difficult B.old but popular
