[对应学生用书P374] Ⅰ.阅读理解 A Maitreyi Ramakrishnan，17, remembers the question that took her from the life of a regular high school student to the center of Hollywood.“Why not me？” she asked herself when she saw an open casting call for Mindy Kaling's coming­of­age comedy series Never Have I Ever.It was a good question, and coincidentally, also the name of Kaling's 2015 biography. Despite having no professional acting experience，Ramakrishnan got the job.The young actress plays a character named Devi whose life story is inspired by Kaling's own. Ramakrishnan credits her best friend for helping her stay confident throughout the audition (试演) process.She filmed an audition video and submitted it.About one month later, she got a phone call from Kaling and screenwriter Lang Fisher.“They told me that I got the role，” Ramakrishnan said.“I was in complete shock.I just kept saying，‘My life is completely going to change.’” As a woman of color starring in a Netflix series，Ramakrishnan was honored as a Groundbreaker for International Day of the Girl in 2019.Her personal role models, including her high school drama teacher as well as various women in Hollywood have played a big role in creating her world view.“My high school drama teacher is always pushing me to try new things，” the teen said.“She encouraged me to try out for plays and take risks, which now I'm known for.” The 　surreal　 experience taught her a life lesson that she thinks applies to anyone.When asked how she hopes her role will influence others, she replied，“I hope it passes this on—the‘why not me？’ Why can't I just go out and do what makes me happy? Do what makes me feel great and confident？” Clearly, it's working.
