MANY people believe that life has smiled on Yang Mi: at the age of 4, she got her first TV drama role; at 16, she became a model for a fashion magazine; at 18, she went to her dream college — Beijing Film Academy (北京电影学院).

Nowadays more and more people care about the exploitation（开采）of the natural resources, such as oil. Though the re?re many kinds of resources, with the fast increase of population and the a ppearance of many more factories,①the more we use, the fewer there will be left in the future.

Oil can b e②__________ ③___________ many ways and it?s difficult to imagine what the m odern world will be like without oil. But oil isn?t easy to find and get out of the earth. When men think th e rocks in a certain place may have oil, a metal tower is built. A machine in the tower cuts a hole down into the ground. At the same time, a steel pipe is pushed down to stop the sides from falling in and to keep out water. At last if the men are right, usually the oil rushes up the sides with great force by the pressure of the gas in the top of the rock, and it rushes high into the air.

If we make a well near the middle of the oil field, we can also get gas. Such gas is sent through pipes to towns far away and used in houses and factories like coal gas.

Today oil is under pressure as never before. The price of oil keeps rising all the time. In many countries, the governments encourage people to save oil as much as possible.

Guo Meimei, a young woman whose online displays of luxury（网络炫富）badly damaged the image of the Red Cross Society of China, said her experiences in the past three months have caused her to "grow up five years".

During an interview the 20-year-old girl said she was "ignorance personified(无知的化身), with no interest in school but a love of luxury ".

"I feel like I am an enemy(敌人) of the public," Guo said. “The truth is that I am just a silly girl who did something really silly. No matter what I say, no one wants to believe me.

While traveling in Thailand just before she turned 18, she made three wishes. All of them, she said, came true.

Her first was to have a car when she reached adulthood. On her 18th birthday, her mother gave her a red BMW Mini Cooper as a birthday present.

Her second was to have 5 million yuan to her name before she turned 20. Now she owns two cars that are together nearly 3 million yuan, which, together with her other sources of income, means she has exceeded her goal.

Her last wish was to be famous. That, too, she has achieved.

"But believe me, it?s not the way I wanted it to be famous," said Guo, who has already acted in some small TV roles.
