recently found himself back on the list of the best actors in Hollywood.His movie Interstellar is just another sign that his career reinvention has been an incredible success.“The film relies on McConaugheys performance to hold together the emotional story of a father and his daughter against the background of space travel and the end of the world，”Forbes commented.But only years ago，the Texas native was often the butt of jokes(笑柄) about being too handsome.In 1993，after meeting with director Richard Linklater，McConaughey starred in Dazed and Confused.And a Hollywood career was born，mostly in romantic comedies.For a long time，the whole world believed McConaughey was just a handsome guy with comic talent.But McConaughey stopped starring in that type of movie，and began to use his looks differently.Slowly he built up his reputation as a serious actor.In 2013，McConaughey was offered to play an AIDS activist in Dallas Buyers Club.The role saw the normally muscular actor losing 50 pounds in order to appear sick.His performance won him an Oscar for Best Actor.The actor gave thanks to someone he has always looked up to as a hero during his Oscar acceptance speech.When he was 15，the actor said，he decided that his hero would be himself in 10 years.But 10 years later，he pushed the deadline ahead another decade.Then 10 years later，another decade.“My heros always 10 years away，”he said.“Im never going to attain that.That keeps me with somebody to keep on chasing.”O(jiān)r perhaps constantly chasing the chance to be his own hero has given him a second chance to pursue his dreams.【文章大意】本文是一篇人物介紹，主要講述了演員McConaughey因不滿足自己所取得的成績，不斷挑戰(zhàn)自我，努力向前，最終成為聞名好萊塢的著名演員的故事。1Why was McConaughey often the butt of jokes in his early career?AHe was limited to handsome

desks for a long time now because experts agree that sitting all day is killing us.We want to be productive while also keeping our bodies healthy.Over the years，there have been several solutions to this from fixed standing desks to adjustable ones，portable desks to ones that change into shelves.However，the most high tech and elegant solution has to be this new smart desk called The Stir Kinetic Desk.The desk learns your daily behaviors and moves between a sitting and standing height regularly throughout the day to keep you moving without interrupting your work flow.You can program specific sitting and standing intervals or let the desk set the schedule.If you tend to sit while returning emails in the morning，but always want to stand during that afternoon conference call，the desk will learn those regular habits and adjust the schedule to fit them.Of course，the desk can always be manually lowered or raised by using the touch screen on the lower left comer of the desk.When switching positions，the desk gently dips and rises to let you know that a change is coming up.If youre not ready to switch positions at that time，you can tap the touchscreen to stay sitting or standing for a while longer.The builtin touchscreen also keeps track of your daily sitting and standing times and tells you how many calories youve burned.You can even set goals for how long or often you want to stand.The desk also works with fitness devices like the FitBit to track your movements.All of that smart tech doesnt come cheap though.The M1 desk，which is the everyday model，runs a steep $2，990，while the more executive model with added features，the F1，goes for $4，190.While expensive，its worth thinking of how much time we spend at our desks.Much like a good mattress(床墊)，a good desk that works with you is worth the investment.Hopefully in a few years these smart，integrated desks will be more common and less expensive.【文章大意】本文介紹了一種新的發(fā)明方便的可隨時校正位置的桌子。它能讓我們在長時間工作中保持健康，價格雖有點小貴，但值得購買。5The Stir
