stand out above the rest. Christy Bulkeley was one of those bosses.
Christy was the young publisher at the small Upstate New York newspaper where I worked 35
years ago, one of the first female publishers in the USA.I was green as a reporter.
A feminist of the first order, she believed women were equal to men, that newspapers could be run
by women. More than a few old newspapermen didn't believe what Christy believed, and I'll make it
clear that we didn't always get along. The maddest I ever saw her was when I wrote a profile of Helen
Hayes, referring to the famous actress as Miss Hayes. She went angry. The title "Miss" was forbidden at
the newspaper. Christy was a Ms and would remain one, even after marrying.
She stood out in a crowd, which perhaps was what made her seem awkward in social settings. She
had short red hair, smoked cigarettes that swung from her very long fingers, and dressed in a style all
her own.
She also had the habit of crossing her fingers if you were talking to her. Obviously it reminded her to
ask a certain question once you were done talking. It seemed to work for her.
But she was always fair, she praised good work, was happy when the staff put out an extra effort.
She_was_a_good_sport, too. Every Halloween I had a party. One year I dressed as Christy. I wore
a red wig (假发). I smoked a cigarette. I found a pair of kneehigh boots and a flowered blouse and I
walked around with crossed fingers. It was an annual event where many arrived uninvited. I never knew
who would show up. It was a night of surprises, and what a surprise it was when Christy appeared at my
door. I stared at her. She stared at me, then broke the silence.
"The blouse is all wrong," she said.
B. She was the author's one and only boss.
C. She was an extraordinary boss in many ways.
D. She was the first female publisher in America.
B. It reflected the equality of men and women.
C. It was very popular with older people.
D. It showed many people's different ideas.
B. a sports lover
C. fashionable and active
D. a funny joker
B. ask us to get along well with our boss
C. advise us how to be a good boss
D. share the story of his boss with us
Do you know of Guo Degang? In recent months he has become well known in China as a crosstalker．He has never performed on TV before, but attending his crosstalk performance is becoming increasingly fashionable in Beijing, especially for youth and school children．
Guo arrived in Beijing from Tianjin in 1995 and came across a teahouse where he found several young people performing crosstalk．Being a crosstalker himself, he couldn’t help taking to the stage．Gradually, more and more people came to the teahouse to see him perform．He soon found himself playing to audiences numbering more than 100 in a teahouse that could only contain 80．
As his popularity grew, Guo thought over the future of his art．“Traditional crosstalk is at least half an hour long, but performances are no longer than five minutes on TV, which kills much of the story．TV is part of the fast-food culture and crosstalk is a face-to-face art form — it needs interaction (交流), and is not suited to TV,” Guo said．He decided to bring it back to its roots： the teahouse and theater．
In 1996, Guo and some young crosstalk actors founded Deyun Crosstalk Association．Over the next ten years, the association organized countless performances in teahouses across Beijing．Despite their growing popularity, Guo ensured (确保) that ticket prices were kept low to make the art form accessible to everyone．Tickets to his performances are still 20 yuan today．And in keeping with technology and modern times, the association set up a BBS site on the Internet where fans could download recordings and discuss performances with actors．
He hopes that through their efforts, more young people will learn to appreciate crosstalk and perhaps train to be crosstalkers themselves．
