Reading Comprehension

　　Walking with long steps on purpose, Barack Obama appears to have arrived to visit an elementary school he attended as a boy．But wait．It's not real Obama．The US president is back in Washington DC．

　　So who is this guy?He's Ilham Anas, 34, a teen-magazine photographer who has taken advantage of his striking resemblance to Obama and turned it into his own brand of celebrity and wealth．

　　Since his sister told him in 2007 that he looked like the then-presidential candidate, Ana's face and big smile have been seen on Southeast Asian TV and the Internet, appearing in the advertisements of medicine and other products．He has also shown up on his nation's television-talk show．Anas' resemblance to the president has turned his life around 180 degrees．He's even written an autobiography Because of Obama．

　　Anas is the first to admit that he's an impostor(冒牌货)．But he'll also tell you that he's in incredible demand．“I've got so much work I can't handle it all,”he said．

　　But when his sister first mentioned the resemblance, he dismissed it．Then a colleague at the magazine 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．

　　As soon as he accepted the idea, his career took off．The married father of two children is rarely home these days．Recently a group of reporters followed him on a tour of the elementary school Obama once attended．Anas sat in the classroom where the president studied．He spoke a few lines in English．The moment he opened his mouth, however, the differences became apparent．“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 practising Obama's typical actions．Before public appearances, he spends hours in front of the mirror posing, gesturing, flashing that smile．

　　Anas said he hasn't changed his appearance much for the role．He wears his hair just like he did in high school．But he did shape his eyebrows to look more like those of the president．

　　He used to dislike looking into the mirror because of his average appearance．Now he no longer considers himself as an average guy, but a superstar．

　　Now, he 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．

　　BELIEVE it or not, the color of the tie Barack Obama wore to the inauguration(就职典礼)is now a hotly debated topic．The level of public interest in Obama’s tie might seem strange but many people believe his choice will symbolize the type of government he plans to run, as the color of a politician’s tie is thought to convey ideas of power, trustworthiness and more．

　　Polities of ties．

　　It may be the least practical item of male dress, but it is arguably the most expressive．In the UK and many other coun－tries around the world, conservative(保守的)politicians may wear a blue tie and their liberal opponents a red one．In America, the colors go the other way round．The Republicans have in recent years become associated with the color red, and the Democrats with blue．But in spite of this, bush wears blue ties more often than any other color．

　　What they mean

　　According to Sharon Haver, editor of focusonstyle．com, in America the feelings associated with colors overrule their political significance．“a guy who want to be regarded as strong and in charge would wear red,” Haver says．Unsurprisingly, the business tycoon Donald Trump is known for wearing red ties．But what about blue? According to Haver, “Blue is a softer color… Look at the sky．It’s peaceful and calm and trustworthy．”

　　Selecting the right tie for the right occasion．

　　●Perfect job interview tie．

　　Perhaps no other tie －wearing occasion is as important as the job interview．Gilchrist, the fashion expert, advises playing it safe and choosing a conservative one．Best choices are solids, stripes or small patterns．An excellent color is burgundy(深红色)or another serious color．Avoid pink or yellow, which suggests that the wearer lacks gravity．

　　Pattern ties, Gilchrist suggests, should be limited to a maximum of three colors．A striped tie is a safe choice as this is acceptable to everyone．Last, Gilchrist recommends saving the expensive “hip” tie for those applying for glamorous creative jobs．

　　●Date－night tie

　　When picking out the right tie for taking a girl out on a date, spend more time considering color than pattern．According to studies, women are attracted to men wearing the color blue, because blue gives the image of a “stable, faithful, constant, always there” person．So what is the worst color to wear on a date? “Flattened caterpillar(毛虫)yellow－green,” according to Gilchrist, “it will repel both sexes equally．”

(1)

Why are people interested in the tie that Obama wore to the inauguration?

[　　]

A．

Because they think the tie he wore will enable them to know about his personalities and policies．

B．

Because they want to advise him how to select an appropriate tie for such a big occasion．

C．

Because they think the tie will tell if he is trustworthy as they expected when he assumes office．

D．

Because they believe the tie is an essential part of dressing to a mature politician like Obama．

(2)

What can we infer about Bush, the former president, from the passage?

[　　]

A．

He was probably liberal in his policies when he was in power．

B．

He was a Republican when he served as president．

C．

He wore only blue ties and had no ties of alternative colors．

D．

He wanted to make himself unique by the tie that he wore．

(3)

The example of “the business tycoon Donald Trump” is given to _________．

[　　]

A．

prove that color reflects people’s feelings to a certain degree

B．

show that Donald is so wealthy that he can afford expensive ties

C．

tell that Donald is physically strong and can handle everything

D．

explain that red is a popular color, especially with businessmen

(4)

Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the text?

[　　]

A．

Ties can be ignored by politicians since they are the least practical item of male dress．

B．

Do choose ties carefully before dating, because it is the most important occasion．

C．

Why to avoid pink or yellow ties in job interviews is that they don’t match the atmosphere．

D．

The more colorful the tie is, the more likely you’ll get the job you want．

　 This is a part from US President Barack Obama’s speech on May 14 at Bamard College in New York.

　 … My last piece of advice – this is simple, but perhaps most important: 36 . Nothing worthwhile is easy. No one of achievement has avoided failure – sometimes catastrophic failures. But they keep at it. They learn from mistakes. They don’t 37 .

　 When I first arrived on this 38 , I was with little money, fewer options. But it was here that I tried to find my place in this world. I knew I wanted to make a difference, but it was 39 how in fact I’d go about it. But I wanted to do my part to 40 a better world.

　 So even as I worked after graduation in a few 41 jobs here in New York, even as I went from motley (鱼龙混杂的)apartment to motley apartment, I 42 .

　 … And I wish I could say that this perseverance came from some innate (天生的)toughness in me. But the truth is, it was 43 . I got it from 44 the people who raised me. I grew up as the son of a single mom who struggled to put herself through 45 and make ends meet. She had a marriage that fell apart; 46 went on food stamps at one point to help us 47 . But she didn’t quit. And she earned her degree, and made sure that 48 scholarships and hard work, my sister and I earned 49 .

And 50 , I met a woman who was assigned to advise me on my first summer job at a law firm. And she gave me such good advice that I married her. And Michelle and I gave everything we had to balance our careers and a 51 family. We made that marriage work.

… So 52 it’s starting a business, or running for office, or 53 an amazing family, remember that making your 54 on the world is hard. It takes patience. It takes commitment. It comes with plenty of 55 and it comes with plenty of failures.
