Selena Gomez and I were scheduled to meet at a low-key coffee shop in Encino. Not wanting to keep the superstar waiting, I arrived at nine, 20 minutes early. As I was catching up on e-mails, Selena quietly scooted into the seat next to me. No bodyguard. Not even a drop of makeup. She was ten minutes early and so inconspicuous that no one else in the restaurant looked up so much. Selena was wearing Bebe shorts. She had a baby face and ordered a hot chocolate.
After making small talk about what she wore for the shoot, she dived into the subject of her career. Selena declared 2012 the year of movies. She filmed three: Spring Breakers, a drama; The Getaway, an action flick; and Hotel Transylvania, a comedy. Each is a marked move away from the teen style that made her a household name.
Now that her Disney days are behind her, Selena is at that unstable point in a child star's career where she is trying to grow up-both as a person (she turned 20 in July) and as an artist. “Being part of the Disney Channel was a blessing, and I'm super happy with what my show accomplished, but acting is something I would like to take on more seriously.” She continued, “I don't necessarily feel accomplished. I want to create a whole different persona when it comes to acting.”
Selena has been working full time since she was seven years old and scored a role on Barney & Friends. In 2007, when she was offered the lead in Wizards of Waverly Place, Selena, her mother, and her stepfather uprooted from Grand Prairie, Texas, to LA, where they are settling now.
1.When did Selena arrive at the low-key coffee shop?
A.At 10:00.
B.At 9:10.
C.At 8:50.
D.At 9:30.
2.The underlined word in the first paragraph probably means .
A.unconcerned
B.graceful
C.not easily seen
D.always thinking of others
3.We can learn from Paragraph 2 that .
A.three famous films made in 2012 have shown her teen style
B.Selena went into her film career as soon as we met in the coffee shop
C.each of the three films marks Selena's move away from her teen style
D.the film Hotel Transylvania is an action flick made in 2012
4.What did Selena think of Disney days which were behind her?
A.She thought of playing in Disney as an unstable point in her career.
B.She considered her being part of the Disney Channel a blessing.
C.She didn't feel very satisfied with her show in Disney.
D.She found herself not accomplished in her performance in Disney.
