Madonna Expresses Herself
I know this was over，but it’s like last week in Spain.For some strange reason，I fail to realize the first leg of the tour during the raining season in Japan.So it’s very strange that the dancers prefer the show in the heavy rain.They were so excited to be performing for the audience that the world could be boiling up and they wouldn’t be frightened.Malisha，my assistant became my only way to the outside world.I think in a lot of ways in New York，the time I spent when I was sick was the hardest on her.And since I was staying in my own apartment in New York，I lost my contact with my dancers completely.
Oh，Los Angeles was hard in that way.I mean I’ve always found it’s a little tiring to be among famous people just because you are famous too.It can cause a lot of trouble.Detroit was definitely the hardest place we went to on the tour.You know people always talk about how stars change you but they never talk about how it can change people that cause them.I hadn’t been to the cemetery since I was a young girl.I used to go right after she died.I don’t know my mother’s death is just a big mystery to me when I was a child.No one really explained it to me.So what I remembered most about my mother was that she was very kind and very gentle and very feminine.I mean，I don’t know，I guess，she just seems like an angel to me，but I suppose everybody thinks their mother is an angel when they are five.I also know she was very religious，so I never really understood why she was taken away from us.It just seems so unfair，I never thought that she’d done something wrong.So often，at times I wonder what I have done wrong.

Everyone needs friends. We all like to feel close to someone. It is nice to have a friend to talk, laugh and do things with. Sure, there are times when we need to be alone. We don’t always want people around. But we would feel lonely if we never had a friend.

There are many places around the city and online to buy Las Vegas show tickets. With dozens of websites you can find at home, ticket box offices, Tix 4 Tonight (one of the two half-price ticket sellers) locations, and ticket sellers along the Las Vegas trip, you might wonder where you could find your best deal.
Major Shows
If you want to see one of the top shows in Las Vegas, you could buy your tickets online before your trip. Many of these shows sell out months ahead of time, so make sure you do your research.
Best Place to Buy Discounted (打折的) Tickets
If you want discounted tickets for Las Vegas shows, you should go to one of the four Tix 4 Tonight locations. These locations get tickets early in the morning or throughout the day if shows are not sold out. Do not expect to find discounted tickets here for the hottest shows in town such as one-night concerts or shows like Celine Dion’s. These seldom make their way to Tix 4 Tonight.
Coupon books (代金劵)
As you walk along the Las Vegas Strip, you are going to come across people handing out the Vegas Values coupon books or other coupons. These may help you find discounted coupons for various shows around town. Tickets bought with coupons have to be bought at the box office for the show. These are usually located near the theater used for the show.
On-Strip Sellers
If you see people standing on the Strip selling show tickets, make sure you avoid them. While a few of these sellers might be legitimate (合法的)，they often cheat people by selling counterfeit (伪造的) tickets.
Catching a show in Las Vegas is one of the various activities people take part in every single day. While there is not one set place to be the best to buy tickets, make sure you get to see the show you want.
1.If you want to see Celine Dion’s performance, you should buy the tickets __ _____.
A．from the tickets sellers along the Strip
