Oscar-winning actress Judith Olivia Dench has become the oldest person ever to feature on the cover of British Vogue at the age of 85.

Dench appears on the fashion magazine's June issue, and editor-in-chief Edward Enninful praised her as “one of the nation's most beloved citizens” in an Instagram post Monday. “I can't tell you how pleased I am to see Dame Judi Dench,the unassailable queen of stage and screen, starring on her first Vogue cover at the age of 85,” he wrote.

Actress Judi Dench was born on December 9, 1934, in North Yorkshire, England. From an early age, Dench received considerable exposure to the world of acting. Dench's father was the resident doctor for the Theatre Royal in York, and it wasn't uncommon for her to tag along during his visits there.

Even as a young girl, Dench showed a passion for performance. She loved to dress up and sing as her mother played the piano.

Dench attended an all-girls Quaker school,then followed with a brief stop at the York School of Art before changing course and heading off to London's Central School of Speech Training and Dramatic Art. The decision, Dench would later say, could be blamed on her brother,Jeffrey, another aspiring actor who also attended the school and pushed his sister to pursue stage work. “I'd never have thought of acting if it wasn't for Jeffrey,” she said.

In 1961, Dench joined the Royal Shakespeare Company, which is the start of a 30-year run with that playhouse that would see the actress take on every leading female Shakespeare role. But Dench wasn't just content with Shakespeare or drama. In 1959, she made her television debut in the series Hilda Lessways.

Over the course of her career, Dench has been recognized like few other actresses. Along with her 1999 Oscar, she's received a total of seven Academy Award nominations.

教师又问：如果一位同学的力气很小，虽然是沿斜面向上拉，但力不从心，结果毛刷拉着他向下滑动，那么滑动摩擦力的方向如何呢？学生又做实验，如图2C。实验结果将使学生议论纷纷，接着教师引导学生联系实际，举出生活中类似的事例，从而使学生从心里排除“滑动摩擦力的方向与拉力方向相反”这一错误结论。此时，很多学生会兴趣浓郁地反问老师：那滑动摩擦力的方向究竟与什么因素有关呢？
