Subtle star shines br ight

Every once in a while, a movie star comes along who has a personality that shines as

brightly off screen as it does in their films. And for nearly 40 years, American actress and

producer Frances McDormand has been one such movie star.

Since 1984, she has starred in more than 50 films and television shows. McDormand won

her first two Oscars for her roles in the film Fargo（《冰血暴》）in 1997 and Three Billboards

Outside Ebbing, Missouri（《三块广告牌》）in 2018. Most recently, she won her third Best

Actress award at the 93rd Academy Awards for her role in Nomadland (《无依之地》). In the

film, McDormand plays Fern, a poor migrant worker who lives out of her van ( 厢式货车)

while traveling the United States looking for odd jobs.

Although McDormand won the hearts of many early on in her career, there was a time

when she didn’t enjoy being a celebrity, and even stopped speaking to the media for a number

of years. During an interview with Yahoo News in 2015, she explained, “I was starting to not

like the job of acting because it also involved not just the promotion of what I’d done, but

myself.”

However, as she was convinced that her place in the spotlight gave her the ability to

reach millions of people, McDormand decided to use that power for something positive. In the

years since, she has continued to portray complex female characters that challenge ideas of

what a woman is supposed to be. Also, at 63 years old, she often discusses how important it is

for society to change its views about aging, especially with regard to women.

One of her biggest headline moments came in 2018 during her acceptance speech for her

second Best Actress award. She used the opportunity to encourage her colleagues to be more

Traveling thr ough time

As children, we dream of growing older; when we are older, we dream of being children.

We let our lives pass us by because we have yet to learn that the harder you yearn for time, the

faster it passes. This is how my story begins.

In October of my freshman year, I took an accidental trip down memory lane. One day

after school, I decided to take the long way home. I needed time to think. So off I went,

walking through the grass. That was how I came to find a gap in the fence lining the school

property. I passed through this gap and followed the treeline until I found myself in the far

fields behind the neighborhood.

Suddenly, I remembered it was here through the fence between the school and the fields

that I watched older kids having their high school graduation ceremony. In cap and gown (长

袍), they stood in the middle of the field. They looked like they were having the most fun I

had ever seen anyone have; they looked free.

Years later, I walked through that field on my way home from that same high school. The

soccer nets were long gone, and the paint lines had washed away with the rain, but there it was,

just as I remembered it. The old field felt like a moment trapped in time, a long-forgotten

memory. Here I was, standing in between my past and my present and trying so hard to figure

out just how all of those years had passed me by so quickly. The gap in the fence seemed like

a distinct line between my years. A doorway between 5 and 15.

I’ve since given this place a name, Tempus Illud, a place between places. I try to take the

long way home at least once a month now. Sometimes, when I cross that bridge, I see that

younger version of myself. She is so young and so desperate to speed up time. I see her

peering through the fence at those graduates in the cap and gown, and she’s wishing she could

be just like them. She, too, could feel so free that she might just grow wings and fly away.

Now I’m preparing to wear the cap and gown in a few short months. But this time, I wish to

leave time to its own devices.

The harder you yearn for time, the faster it passes you by. So I no longer yearn. The

passage of time is inevitable, and you can’t avoid it, but you can appreciate it. James Taylor

sings, “The secret of life is enjoying the passage of time … Nobody knows how we got to the

top of the hill, but since we’re on our way down, we might as well enjoy the ride.”

8. How did the author feel when she saw the older kids’ graduation ceremony?

A. Jealous. B. Curious. C. Admiring. D. Unconcerned.

9. What is the significance of Tempus Illud to the author?

A. It honors her best childhood memory. B. It bridges her past, present and future.

C. It shows the miracle of frozen time. D. It symbolizes high school graduation.

10. What is the author’s perspective on time at the end?

A. She is addicted to the past. B. She yearns for time to pass quicker.

C. She wants to run after time. D. She decides to enjoy the moment.

11. What is the author’s main purpose in writing the article?

A. To suggest that time brings the truth to light.

B. To show that tough times never last.

C. To explain how time changes everything.

D. To share her changing attitude toward time.

A new website will allow anyone in the world to access millions of wildlife photos taken

by camera traps.
