　　Rice was a college student at 15， a professor at Stanford University at 26， and an advisor to the US president at 35. Rice has always been a high achiever. Now her greatest achievement has come as she replaces Colin Powell to be the US’s first black female Secretary of States (国务卿).

　　As a diplomat (外交官)， Rice became the highest-ranking black woman in the history of the US Government. But her success was not a surprise to the people who knew her well.

　　Rice was born on November 14th， 1954 in a southern American state， at that time a very racist (种族偏见) state. Her childhood world was limited (限制) to the all black parts of town. But she believed her ability to succeed.

　　As an only child， young Rice was told to work hard to succeed. “To compete with white children， you have to be twice as good as them， three times as good to beat them，” said her father， vice president of a college. It was a lesson that she took to heart.

　　Luckily， Rice‘s father and musical teacher mother had enough money to pay for her private lessons.

　　Rice started playing the piano aged three， gave her first performance at four and came first in a national

　　competition for teenagers. She even dreamed of being a pianist， but during college， a speech on

　　international relations (关系) opened another door for her. She started to study politics and got her doctor’s degree.

　　Rice is also good at language and sport. She speaks French， Russian and Spanish. She plays tennis， dances ballet.

　　Rice‘s new job will not be easy. She must deal with US relations with Europe， and all the trouble in the Arab world.
