     美国长大的台湾人气歌手Wang Lee Hom在接受CNN Talk Asia栏目专访时,回答了主持人
Lorraine Hahn提出的五个问题(第1-5题).请从下列提问(A、 B、C、D、E和F)中选出与他
的回答相匹配的问题。

A. What do awards mean to you?
B. How would you describe your style?
C. What is it about acting that's so attractive?
D. How do you deal with this loss of privacy?
E. How do you divide your time in acting and music?
F. What gave you the idea to start the studios in the first place?

     Born in New York in 1976, Wang grew up in the United States. Blessed with a mix of brains and
talent, he spent his youth performing in local musicals. While in university, Wang landed a recording
contract in Taiwan. His breakthrough album firmly established him as a rising star in the Asian music
scene. In addition to writing and producing his own music, Wang has also taken part in movie projects
around Asia. He has won a great popularity, and now he is having an interview with CNN Talk Asia.
1. ______________
    WL: It is a school of hip hop, which is the way I like to think of it. It combines Chinese elements and
sounds. I started it off in my last album called Shangrila. And this album combines the music of ethnic
minorities, in China, in Tibet, and in Mongolia. It's beautiful and original to Chinese culture. And this new
album called Heroes of Earth combines Opera and Quen-chu, which are thousand-year-old traditions
also unique to Chinese culture. Very unique instruments, costumes, singing styles. I don't think anyone
has ever done this before in the hip hop world.
2. ______________
     WL: Um, just the large quantity of work that I have to come up with. I produce for other artists and
compose for them as well. And there are a lot of changes in music going on right now in Asia. And it's
really exciting so I decided that I'm going to need a studio in New York. I'm going to need a studio in
Taipei. And maybe the rest I can get by with just my laptop.
3. ______________
     WL: Well, I started doing musical theatre. And I loved it so much from the age of 13, you know.
Actually in 2000, I did my first movie and ever since then I've been enjoying doing movies. I don't
think I'm much of an actor. But I just love being surrounded by creative people and a lot of times doing
music is a lonely struggle, especially composing, and arranging, producing my own albums. Acting, every
day you get called and you're surrounded by other actors and creative people.
4. ____________
     WL: The first time I won, like you just said, when I was 22, it meant a lot to me. It was like…I didn't
know I could make this happen. I didn't know I could get this kind of recognition. So back then, it was
huge increase of confidence. And I don't want to say vanity(虚荣心), but confidence. I think every artis
needs confidence.
5. _____________
     WL: Well, it can be a real pain in the neck. You know, I feel lucky that I can go back to New York
and not be recognized and not be followed. At times it can be really, really annoying. Today many
people own a cell phone that has a camera on it…and a blog. In the entertainment news, there's a recent
trend of journalists or media just going on to the Internet and saying "Oh, so and so saw so and so." when
they see a blog. You know, it's completely irresponsible but in the blog what he says can become the title
of the newspaper article.
