all by herself     a big success       in need      prove    treat
Many 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.
Last year, the 24-year-old actress played a bad girl named Luo Qingchuan in the time-traveling TV drama, Palace. The drama became  1  and made Yang very famous. The number of her micro blog followers increased from several thousand to more than 3 million overnight.
Could she be any luckier?
Yang doesn’t think luck had anything to do with her success. She paved (铺路) her way   2  . “Every chance is gained from the efforts I’ve made,” said Yang. People now think she’s very hard-working.
She still recalls the time when people gave her the cold shoulder. Some  3her with little respect. They didn’t want to help her in her time of need. “I have to thank them because they made me do something to   4  myself,” she said.
That’s why she is eager to help others when they are    5   . In May, Yang became the ambassador (大使) for the Climate Group. She calls on people to plant trees on China’s dry land. Together we’ll fight the bad weather!
