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.

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.
