On TV she needs the help of a matchmaker to find love in the new Hallmark Channel romance As Luck Would Have It. She opens up about raising strong girls, how her parents recent deaths affected her and which roles fans recognize her for the most. You havent needed a matchmaker-but if life had turned out differently, would you use one? I would totally have been game for it. I was set up by a friend of ours to meet my husband, but I think it sounds so fun. You star opposite Allen Leech-were you a Downton Abbey fan? Im a huge Downton fan, but I know Allen personally very well. He happened to marry my best friends little sister. His mom actually cooked me dinner a couple of times while I was shooting! Youve been on TV since you were a teen. Which role gets you recognized most? Sweet Magnolias now. But overall I would say Reba. I also get recognized for being Amy Adams more than I get recognized for being myself. You lost your mother, father and grandmother in the past year and a half. How are you and your family doing? My daughters have watched me go through so much in the last year, from the highs of the success of Sweet Magnolias to the lowest of lows, losing my parents and my grandmother. I really believe that its not what happens to you, its what happens for you. Even in their passing, as tragic as it was. I know that its not for nothing.

Softer in taste than the flesh of the fish, cod tongue melts in the mouth with a hint of saltiness. It is natures gift, says Jan Erik, vice-president of the Norwegian fishermens association. Liv Eva, a 35yearold who works for a research institute, says that when she was a girl, men and boys dominated the cod-tongue-cutting trade on Lofoten, a Norwegian island. This year, she was happy to see a grandmother and granddaughter selling tongues. In other ways, however, the art of tungeskjring has hardly changed over the centuries. The delicate work of removing the tongue from an already beheaded（去头的）fish is reserved mainly for children. The practice serves as a kind of career preparation for would-be fishers, and it pays handsomely. The tongues are valuable, so an hours work can pay 1,200 kronor ($143); not bad if youre six. Modesty guides attitudes in Lofoten and other northern parts, so it wouldnt be accepted to spend the cash on something wasteful, says Liv Eva. Youngsters tend to save up for a fishing boat, a car or a deposit on a home. Not everyone gets involved. Those with ambitions keep their distance; tongue-cutting is something of a fishermans rough life. And citizens in Norway were upset by a recent documentary showing the children at work in their blood-stained overalls. “Child labor!” they cried. The government looked into the issue, and chose to respect their culture and tradition. A bigger threat to the industry is that stocks are low. From April 27th, 2021 Norwegian cod caught in coastal waters will lose its sustainability rating from the Marine Conservation Council, a global fish watchdog.28.

Respectful.D. Disapproving.DCosplayers（角色扮演者）can invest considerable time, money and effort into making best head-to-toe presentations that are one-of-a-kind. But what inspires cosplayers to present themselves with so many detailed artistic designs? Psychologists try to reveal the facts through research.When a cosplayer selects a particular costume, he/she is often getting inside a specific character-or combination of characters-because something about that role speaks to them personally, according to Robin S. Rosenberg, a clinical psychologist at the University of California, San Francisco. Batman, for example, can be an especially meaningful cosplay choice for someone coping with trauma（创伤）. The dark superhero faced destructive trauma when he was a child-witnessing the cruel and violent murder of his parents-which he overcame to become a hero. “When people are dressed as Batman, many talk about having experienced their own traumatic experiences,” Rosenberg said. “He survived and found meaning and purpose from his experience, and that is inspiring to them.”Rosenberg noted that Wonder Woman is another popular choice which calls up many womens feelings, partly because she holds her own in the male-dominated world of costumed comics superheroes. For those cosplayers, dressing as Wonder Woman is a way of celebrating and embracing her power, Rosenberg said.Cosplay is a type of performance, which frequently moves strangers to approach the character for conversation and photos. So it surprised Rosenberg to discover that many cosplayers were identified as introverts. “When they wore a costume, they became much more socially outgoing,” Rosenberg said. She explained that, sometimes, wearing a costume allows a person to obtain confidence they didnt know they had, and helps them overcome shyness in real life.“When you do any kind of costuming-but particularly cosplay-on the one hand, it gives you permission to step outside yourself,” Rosenberg said. “But on the other hand, it can bring out something in you that doesnt usually come out.”32. What does Rosenberg try to convey in Paragraph 2?A. Cosplayers have a special liking for costumes.B. Cosplayers play different roles within one day.C. Cosplayers have nothing to do but talk to themselves.D. Cosplayers express themselves through costumes.33. Batman and Wonder Woman are cited to reveal cosplayers _.A. childhood abuse B. need to repair personal difficultiesC. gender inequalityD. eagerness to defeat other people34. Why did Rosenberg feel surprised?A. Cosplayers changed their personality once in costumes.B. Cosplayers couldnt wait to socialize when costumed.C. Many cosplayers attracted strangers to talk with them.D. So many cosplayers were considered as pessimistic people.35. What may serve as the most suitable title of the text?A.Devotion to cosplay B. People in costumesC. Batman or Wonder WomanD.

Buying pets online is risky because you have no idea about their upbringing or health. Consider adopting from a shelter, as you will be helping pets in need. If you go to a breeder(饲养员), aim to see any animal in person and in the place where they were born, better with their mothers. 37 How can you be sure the pet you pick will be the right fit?You need to spend plenty of time with your pet or he may become lonely or bored and develop problem behaviors such as chewing and barking. 38 Some humans want an energetic dog to take jogging, while others want a lapdog to watch TV with. Take the time to find the right animal for your lifestyle.How can you get him to do what you need him to? 39 So it is necessary to invest time and communicate with him. Contrary to popular belief, you can teach an old dog new tricks, so if you have an older guy, its still worth the effort. But the earlier you start, the more likely you are to achieve results. 40 Elderly dogs are less able to cope with extreme temperatures. Keep them cool on hot days and away from drafts on cold ones. Place pieces of carpet or bedding where your dog rests to help him rise from slippery floors. Make sure to check claws, which may not wear down sufficiently with reduced activity.A. Energy level is also important.B. A dogs intelligence can be increased through education and training.C. Here we share how to choose pets and keep them happy and healthy.D.
