JAKARTA, INDONESIA - Walking with long steps and his smile lighting up a rainy afternoon, Barack Obama seems to have arrived to visit a school he attended as a boy. But wait. He's not real Obama. The US president is back in Washington, D. C.
So who is this guy? He's llham Anas, 34, a magazine photographer who has taken advantage of his perfect resemblance(相像) to Obama and turned it into his own wealth.
When his sister first mentioned the resemblance, Anas dismissed it. Then a friend asked him to pose as Obama in front of a US flag. He also refused. "I'm a photographer, not an object for the camera," he said.
However, as soon as he accepted the idea, his career took off. Recently a group of reporters followed him on a tour of the school Obama once attended. Anas sat in the classroom where the present US president once studied. He spoke a few lines in English. The moment he opened his mouth, however, the differences became clear. “Obama is a baritone (男中音) ,” Anas said. “I'm not. I sound like a little boy.” He is also shorter than the president, but he makes up for that by practicing Obama's actions.
He says he has made a request to meet President Obama when he arrives, but he hasn't heard back from the president' s schedules. Now he no longer sees an average guy. Now he sees a superstar.
Now, Anas hopes that Obama will win a second term in the White House. “The longer he's in office, the longer my fame will last,” he said.
What does the underlined part in Paragraph 4 mean?
A. Anas also thought he looked like Obama.
B. Anas was satisfied with his sister's comment.
C. Anas didn't think about the resemblance seriously.
D. Anas didn' t understand what his sister talked about.
Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
A. Obama has met Anas once in Indonesia.
B. Anas didn't become rich until he got to know Obama.
C. Obama studied in Indonesia when he was young.
D. Anas is a baritone but he can sound like a little boy.
We can learn from the passage that Anas now ______ .
A. longs for a simple life B. is proud of his appearance
C. keeps in touch with Obama D. wants to become a politician
Why does Anas hope Obama will be president in the next term？
A. He is a supporter of Obama. B. He hopes Obama will see him.
C. He wants to be famous for longer. D. He thinks Obama is a great politician.
What would be the best title for the passage?
A. An Obama Lookalike Becomes Popular in Asia
B. Obama Visits His Old School in Indonesia
C. A Man Practices Obama’s Typical Actions
D. Obama’s Face and Smile to Be Seen on TV

Bobby Moresco grew up in New York's Hell's Kitchen, a tough working-class neighborhood on Manhattan's West Side. But Hell's Kitchen lies right next door to Broadway, and the bright lights attracted Bobby from the time he was a teen. Being stage-struck was hardly what a street kid could admit to his partners. Fearing their ridicule, he told no one, not even his girlfriend, when he started taking acting lessons at age 17. If you were a kid from the neighborhood, you became a cop, construction worker, longshoreman or criminal. Not an actor.
Moresco struggled to make that long walk a few blocks east. He studied acting, turned out for all the cattle calls -- and during the decade of the 1970s made a total of $2,000. "I wasn't a good actor, but I had a driving need to do something different with my life," he says.
He moved to Hollywood, where he drove a cab and worked as a bartender. "My father said, 'Stop this craziness and get a job; you have a wife and daughter.' “But Moresco kept working at his chosen craft.
Then in 1983 his younger brother Thomas was murdered in a mob-linked killing. Moresco moved back to his old neighborhood and started writing as a way to explore the pain and the patrimony of Hell's Kitchen. Half-Deserted Streets, based on his brother's killing, opened at a small Off-Broadway theater in 1988. A Hollywood producer saw it and asked him to work on a screenplay.
His reputation grew, and he got enough assignments to move back to Hollywood. By 2003, he was again out of work and out of cash when he got a call from Paul Haggis, a director who had befriended him. Haggis wanted help writing a film about the country after September 11. The two worked on the writing, but every studio in town turned it down. They kept pitching it. Studio executives, however, thought no one wanted to see a severe, honest vision of race and fear and lives in collision in modern America.
Moresco believed so strongly in the script that he borrowed money, sold his house. He and Haggis kept pushing. At last the writers found an independent film producer who would take a chance, but the upfront money was too little, Moresco delayed his salary.
Crash slipped into the theaters in May 2005, and quietly became both a hit and a critical success. It was nominated for six Academy Awards and won three -- Best Picture, Best Film Editing and Best Writing (Original Screenplay) by Paul Haggis and the kid from Hell's Kitchen.
At age 54, Bobby Moresco became an overnight success. "If you have something you want to do in life, don't think about the problems," he says, "think about other ways to get it done."
1. Rearrange the following statements in terms of time order:

There is an endless supply of stories about sleepwalkers (夢游者). People have been said to climb on roofs, solve mathematical problems, write music, walk through windows, and do murder in their sleep.
In Revere, Massachusetts, a hundred policemen searched for a lost boy who left his home in his sleep and woke up five hours later on a strange sofa in a strange living room, with no idea how he had got there.
At the University of Lowa, a student was reported to have the habit of getting up in the middle of the night and walking three-quarters of a mile to the Lowa River. He would take a swim and then go back to his room to bed.
An American expert on sleep claims (聲稱) that he has never seen a sleepwalker. He is said to know more about sleep than any other living man, and during the last thirty-five years he has lost a lot of sleep watching people sleep. He says, “Of course, I know that there are sleepwalkers because I have read about them in the newspapers. But none of my sleepers ever walked, and if I were to advertise for sleepwalkers for an experiment, I doubt whether I would get many takers (應(yīng)征者).”
Sleepwalking, however, is a scientific reality. It is one of those strange things that sometimes look quite fantastic (怪誕的). Doctors say that sleepwalking is much more common than is generally supposed. Many sleepwalkers do not try to find help and their sleepwalking is never recorded.
1.Generally speaking, sleepwalkers are people who ________.
A. climb on roofs B. walk through windows

B. slept in his own room but woke up in a strange room
C. lost his way five hours after he left home
D. was searched for by policemen when he lost his way
3.There was a college student who got into the habit of ________.
A. getting up in the middle of the night and walking down to the river
B. walking three-quarters of a mile every day
C. swimming in the Lowa River before going to bed
D. walking about before he went to bed
4.Why do people think sleepwalking is nothing but a fantastic thing which doesn’t have any explanation?
A. It is so common that it needn’t be recorded.
B. Scientists take no interest in it.
C. Most sleepwalkers do not seek help for their problem.
D. No records about it have been made.

科目：高中英語 來源：河北省唐山一中2010高考模擬試卷（四） 題型：閱讀理解
How did a high school football coach build a championship dynasty by never playing to win? In Smith Center, Kansas, Roger Barta, 64, a longtime coach and former math teacher at Smith Center High School, wearing a red shirt, stood before his players. “…Guys. We don't talk about winning and losing. We talk about getting a little better every day, about being a team.” Over the next four months, his team went on to beat other teams, winning another perfect season.
Barta grew up in Plainville, and when a back injury ended Barta's playing career, he wasn't sure whether he wanted to be a college student. One summer, he took a job in the Kansas oil fields. It took him a single rainy day of working in the field to realize that university was for him. “I almost froze to death,” he says. He looked around at his co-workers, who were aged beyond their years. "They were all missing fingers and teeth. I didn't want to do that for the rest of my life."
He returned to Fort Hays State to earn a mathematics degree and went on to get a master's in math education at the University of Georgia. Today, Barta spends as much time helping players figure out what they want to do with their lives as he does coaching.
To most kids here, Barta is not just a winning coach but also a mentor(導(dǎo)師，顧問). Barta insists that the members of his team be well-rounded. During last year's playoffs(附加賽), for instance, Joe Osburn was struggling with Macbeth in English class. Barta told him that either he mastered Shakespeare or his season was finished. Barta got the captains involved, and they took turns quizzing Osburn on his lines of Shakespeare. He pulled his grades up and kept playing.
“Roger likes everything about football,” says Barta's wife, Pam. “But what he loves most is watching the boys learn a little more.”
1.What does the first paragraph mainly talk about?
A．How Barta built a championship dynasty?
B．Barta’s career as a coach.
C．How Barta taught his students football skills.
D．Barta’s attitude towards winning and losing.
2.From the the passage we know Barta .
A．hurt his back in an oil field
B．didn’t want to be a college student
C．wasn’t satisfied with being an oil worker
D．began his playing career at high school
3.Which of the following statements about Barta is TRUE??
A．He earned his master’s degree from Fort Hays State.
B．He helps his players deal with life.
C．He likes Shakespeare very much.
D．He loves football more than anything else.
4.Which of the following is the best title for the passage?
A．How to Be a Good Football Coach
B．A Brief Introduction to Roger Barta
C．Coach and Math Teacher—Roger Barta
D．Life Coach—Roger Barta
