A

(2015·辽宁省实验中学一模)Three decades ago，Steve McCurry took arguably the most famous picture of all time.Yet even after all this time，the photographer is filled with enthusiasm when he talks about Afghan Girl.

“I knew she had an incredible look，a sharp gaze，”he recalls.“It was before digital camera and with the big crowd and dust all around，you never knew what would happen with the film.When I developed the picture，I knew it was special.I showed it to the editor of the National Geographic，and he jumped to his feet and shouted，‘That’s our next cover’.”

Not only did Afghan Girl become the magazine’s next cover，but the most successful in its distinguished history.The striking portrait of 12­year­old Sharbat Gula，in a refugee camp，was taken in December 1984 and published the following year.

When McCurry reflects upon its popularity，what excites him most is the impact that this single image has had on the real world.

“People volunteered to work in the refugee camps because of that photograph，”he says.“Afghans are incredibly proud of it，as the girl is poor but shows great pride，strong will and self­respect.It drew attention to their poor situation，and inspired a lot of people.” It also led the National Geographic to set up the Afghan Children’s Fund—and meant that to this day，McCurry is never charged a fare by appreciative Afghan taxi drivers.

The portrait forms the centerpiece of a major exhibition of McCurry’s work，which opened recently in Monza，Italy，and will run until 6 April.The famous photograph is just one of thousands of extraordinary pictures that McCurry has taken over a 40­year career，during which he has won dozens of awards.For many years，frontline war photography like this was McCurry’s stock in trade.Indeed，it enabled him to make his name.

(2016·齐鲁高三第一次联考)US actress Natalie Portman,33，has always been praised for her smarts.At 18，she went to Harvard University following the release (公映) of her film Star Wars：Episode I in 1999.Four years later，she graduated with a bachelor’s degree in psychology.Then she took graduate courses at Hebrew University in Jerusalem.She speaks six languages and has twice been published in scientific journals.

You may think she has achieved all of these things easily thanks to her fame as actress，but only Portman herself knows what she has been through.

In late May，the Oscar winner revealed that her time at Harvard had some“dark moments”when she gave a speech to graduating Harvard students.

“I felt like that I wasn’t smart enough to be in this company，and that every time I opened my mouth I would have to prove that I wasn’t just a dumb actress，”she said.

It was that fear that helped her carve out her own path，Portman admitted.

“My belief that I could handle these things(her own limitations)...was half the battle.The other half was very hard work，”she said.

“Sometimes，your insecurities (不安) and your inexperience may lead you to take on other people’s expectations，standards，or values，”she added.
