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).
Last year, the 24-year-old actress played bad girl Luo Qingchuan in the time-travelling TV drama, Palace (《宫锁心玉》). The drama became a big success and made Yang very famous. The number of her micro blog followers rises 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 works hard all by herself. “Every chance is achieved from the efforts I’ve made,” said Yang. People now think she’s very hard-working.
She still remembers the time when people gave her the cold shoulder. People treated her with little love. They didn’t want to help her in her time of need. “I have to thank them because they gave me the strength to prove myself,” she said
That’s why she is eager to help others when they are in need.

There are many different ideas about when and where the first toothbrush was invented. Some say it was invented in China around the 11th century. Others say the Romans(罗马人) invented it around the time of Caesar. Nobody knows the exact history of teeth cleaning.
Before the first toothbrushes, sharp(尖的) objects were used to clean teeth.
It’s believed that tribes(部落) in Africa and Australia invented the idea of cleaning their teeth. The modem toothbrush with bristles(毛) was invented in China much later in the 16th or 17th century. Toothbrushes moved to Europe in the mid 1600’s and then became widely used in the area. Animal hair was the first type of bristle to be used.
Today, toothbrushes have nylon(尼龙) bristles and normally have a plastic handle. Animal hair was replaced by nylon in 1938. Electric toothbrushes were invented and marketed in 1880 by “Dr Scott”. The popularity of the electric toothbrush did not take off until after World War Ⅱ. When the cordless(无线的) model was invented in 1960, its popularity increased a lot.
