第三部分：写作第一节：阅读表达 阅读短文，并按照题目要求用英语回答问题．
21． （10分）In the years of my growing up，Dad was strict with me．He made sure I made my bed
and did my homework．He would call in advance to make sure there was no alcohol at the
party．I got so angry with him for laying down the law．I would scream，"I hate you!"Dad
would yell back，"Good!I don't care!"Deep down I knew he did．
One time at a party，I drank too much alcohol and got so sick．I said，"Call my dad．"Next
thing，Dad was carrying me to the car．I woke up the next morning，thinking I would definitely
be criticised．As expected，I got a roasting，but I now understand why I need discipline．
Dad was 29 when he got his big roles in films．I had an early start at the age of nine with a role
in a 1990s TV series，but it wasn't until I finished film studies that I pursued my career as an
actress．Like those early days for Dad，I faced lots of rejections．Working in such a competitive
industry，I've sometimes thought，"I can't do this any more．"
Once，after a trip to Hollywood，I returned to Australia so depressed and spent months in my
bedroom painting，listening to Eckhart Tolle's music and trying to find myself again．Dad sat
me down and said，"Alice，I know it's hard，but it's all about persistence（坚持不懈） ．"
Now I get to work with Dad a lot，which I love．We both passionate about acting，which comes
from us being so interested in people．If it weren't for Dad，I wouldn't be where I am
today．He's my biggest fan，and when you have that in your life you can go a long way．
