Roosevelt called Temple “Little Miss Miracle” for raising the public’s confidence during times of economic hardship. He even said, “As long as our country has Shirley Temple, we will be all right.” By 1940, Temple had 43 films under her early acting career.
After Temple grew up, she made guest appearances on television shows in the early 1960s and filmed a Comedy that was never released. Temple acted 46 films in her whole life. In 1969, her life got a great change——she began her diplomatic(外交的) career and worked successfully till her late life. During her political career, Temple had visited China in April, 1977. In 1988, she published her autobiography, a book about her life, Child Star.
Shirley Temple died of natural causes on February 10, 2014, at her home near San Francisco California. She was 85 years old.

He loved the tree and the tree loved him. Time went by … The little boy        up and no longer played around it. The old tree was very sad. It didn’t know         . The boy said, “I am not a kid. I want to play with toys. But I don’t have money.”
“You needn’t           about it. Pick all my apples and sell them, you will have money.” After that the boy didn’t come back. Years later, the boy returned and the tree was happy. But          its surprise, the boy cut it down to build a house. Many years later the boy returned again. The old tree was happy and said to him “Sorry, my boy. I can’t give you          more. The only thing left is my dying roots. But you can sit down and rest here. This is your forever         .
This is a story of everyone. The tree is our parents. When we were young, we loved playing with them. When we grow up, we         them, and only come to them when we need something or are in trouble. No matter what happens, parents will be there and give what they have to make us        .

Emily and Alex were happy when their family moved to a house with a very big garden. They could climb up trees, grow flowers and even play badminton. They liked to watch the birds flying among the trees in the garden. They even started to put food out to attract more birds.
Everything was fine for a few days until one afternoon there was a strange bumping noise on a window. Emily went outside and found a small bird dead on the grass. Its neck seemed to be broken.
“It must have flown into the window,” Alex said when his sister Emily called him to have a look. “Ah, yes, look here. You can see the mark where it hit the window. There are a couple of tiny feathers stuck(粘貼) on the window.”
“Poor thing!” Emily said.
During the next month, five more birds died in the same way. “Why would they fly to the windows?” they wondered. Finally they found out the truth. When the birds were flying, they couldn’t see into the rooms. All they saw was the reflection(反射) of the garden. They thought that they were flying into trees because they saw trees reflected by the window.
