Everyone would like to be a millionaire but can you imagine having over $30 million and only being 20 years old? Britney Spears from Kentwood, a small town in Louisiana, is only 20 years old; she is an international pop superstar with not only $30 million but also a $2 million house in LA. At her young age, she can look after her family financially all her life.

This year is a big year for Britney. She is currently on a 31 day tour of the US and every concert is a sell-out. That means she plays in front of a crowd of around 18,000 every time. It’s tiring schedule but brings great rewards. When touring, she goes to bed around l a.m. and then has a lie-in until l p.m. or 2 p.m. the next day. Her philosophy（人生觀）is to take care of the body and relax but always make sure you work hard and have fun.

Spears is not satisfied with only touring and selling nearly 40 million records， so she decided to branch out into the movie business and try a bit of acting. She made an appearance in “ Austin Powers 3” this year and she is filming a teenage comedy that will be released in March 2003. In this movie, she has a starring role. The movie was her own concept and she picked the writer.

For Britney, acting is another way to express herself and she is enthusiastic about it all. If her movies are successful, her bank account is sure to grow by another few million dollars but she has been quoted as saying she does it for the love, not the money.

We can infer from the text that most millionaires are          .

A. in their 30s B. around 20   C. older than 20     D. in their 40s

The underlined word “you” in the second paragraph refers to          .

       A. a person in general    B. a particular person

       C. Britney Spears herself only      D. the reader

Which of the following is not true according to the text ?

       A. Though young, Britney can support her family now.

       B. While touring, Britney sleeps about 12 hours a day.

       C. Britney will be even richer with her movies successful.

       D. The teenage comedy movie was based on Britney’s own story.

According to Britney Spears, she works          .

       A. to be a great actress B. for the enjoyment

       C. for money               D. to be more famous
