What would life be like if an ancient person lived in a modern society? You don?t need to go too far to find out the answer. Li Xudan, 18, seems to be cut off from the rest of the world.
In a noisy crowd, she is the one who?s left alone, slowly stroking her long black hair with her fingers. She likes flowery dresses and refuses to wear jeans.
Her quietness and elegance (优雅) finally landed her the role of Lin Daiyu in Ｔｈｅ Ｄｒｅａｍ ｏｆ ｔｈｅ Ｒｅｄ Ｃｈａｍｂｅｒ talent show on June 10.
At 8, Li was sent to live at her grandfather?s place, a courtyard at the foot of Zijin Mountain in Nanjing. She spent almost 10 years there. Far away from the downtown, Li grew up listening to the sound of insects and watching the fish in the pond.
While other kids were hauling their schoolbags to class, she stayed at home where her grandpa taught her traditional Chinese literature and culture. She displayed her poetic talent by putting her sentiments (多愁善感) into her poems.
Li first came to know the life of Lin Daiyu in the Shaoxing Opera version of Ｔｈｅ Ｄｒｅａｍ ｏｆ ｔｈｅ Ｒｅｄ Ｃｈａｍｂｅｒ. She loved it so much that she attended a drama school in Jiangsu at 12. When she got a chance to read the book, she became absorbed in its world at once. After that, a copy of the book was always at her bedside.
“This ?Sister Lin? didn?t fall from heaven,” said director Hu Mei. “She was brought up in the ways of Daiyu. Every move or expression of hers expresses it.”
Li got both praise and criticism, but she wasn?t upset. “I came for the ?Dream?,” Li said, “I
struggle for the ideal and won?t get lost in the world.”

I was studying in Paris, taking delight in college classes and weekend train trips. My family-centered father had asked me to look up relatives who might live somewhere nearby. But I wanted to feel free, cutting family ties and abandoning the trappings of my American upbringing. Summer passed. The days grew longer and cooler. And even in the City of Light, I was beginning to miss my family. It was my first time away from home and I was feeling lonely.
So on one particular cold day in 1996, I walked to the Armenian Church and took a seat. As the service progressed, I saw an old woman, walking up and down looking for a seat.
Given the length of an Armenian church service, I felt unwilling to give up my place, but I was 20 and she was 70. So when she came by, I spoke to her in Armenian and offered her my seat. She took it and I stood beside her. As the service drew toward a close, she quietly spoke to me. “You are not from here, are you?” she whispered.
“How did you know?” I asked.
“Because the young people here only speak French. Where are you from?”
“America, Florida,” I said rolling the “r” to make it sound more Armenian.
Keeping her eyes on the service, she said, “I have family in Florida. Three brothers — Sarkis, Dikran and ...” “Ara,” I said, voice trembling. “Ara is my father.” “I have been looking for your father for 30 years,” she cried. She was my “auntie”, a relative of my paternal（父亲的）grandfather’s family. She herself lived in Syria, and was only in Paris occasionally. But she happened to be there at the very same moment. Over oceans and generations, the two of us connected. 59. How did the writer feel about her father? A. He was stubborn and fell behind the times. B. He didn?t give her enough freedom. C. He had a strong sense of family.
D. He preferred indoor life to outdoor life.
60. Which place does “the City of Light” refer to?
A. Florida. B. The Armenian Church. C. The writer?s college. D. Paris.
61. Why didn?t the writer want to give up her seat to the old lady at first? A. She was afraid of being laughed at.
B. She didn?t want to stand during the long church service. C. She wanted to hear the church service better.
D. She didn?t want to be noticed by others.
62. The writer attracted the attention of the old lady because _______. A. she was impressed with the writer?s kindness B. the writer?s appearance was familiar C. she heard the writer speaking Armenian
D. few young people attended Armenian church services Ｃ
President Bush?s dogs often play on the White House lawn, but do you know that he also has cows and a cat? These animals are part of a long history of US presidential pets — from horses to snakes and elephants.
President Bush?s dogs include two Scottish terriers named Barney and Miss Beazley. His cat is named India, which has lived with the Bush family for more than ten years! On his ranch in Crawford, Texas, he keeps a cow named Ofelia.
Past presidents brought many interesting animals to the White House. The wife of John Quincy Adams, the sixth President, had silkworms. Theodore Roosevelt, the 26th President, was famous for his many pets. His six kids had snakes, dogs, cats, birds and more. When Roosevelt?s son Archie got an infectious disease, Quentin, another of Roosevelt?s sons, was worried about him and put the family horse on the White House elevator and took it to Archie?s upstairs room. During World War I, Woodrow Wilson, the 28th President, kept a herd of sheep on the White House lawn. The wool from these sheep was auctioned (拍卖) to raise money for the American Red Cross — a group that helps people in emergencies.
Some of the more unusual US presidential pets have been gifts from other world leaders. James Buchanan, the 15th President, received a herd of elephants from the King of Siam (now called Thailand). The Sultan of Oman gave Martin Van Buren, the 8th President, a pair of tiger cubs.
But even the more typical pets have had an unusual time at the White House. Warren Harding, the 29th President, and his family had a birthday party for their dog Laddie and they invited other dogs and served a cake.
63. How many pets does President Bush have? A. Less than three. B. Only four.
C. More than four. D. Five.
64. Why did Roosevelt?s son Quentin take a horse to Archie?s room? A. Because he hoped the family horse could cheer sick Archie up. B. Because Archie was worried about the safety of his pet horse.
C. Because he wanted Archie to take more exercise. D. Because he was asked to do so by their father.
65. Which of the following presidents once raised pets to serve the public?
