Why She Turned Herself into Human Torch
She was a lovely and pretty girl but now Liu Siying's seriously burnt face and hands tell people that she might never be as happy again. On January 23,2001, the 12-year-old fifth-grade primary school pupil from Central China's Henan Province was taken by her mother to Beijing's Tian'anmen Square, believing she would enter the“Falun World”. There the two set themselves on fire. She said she was told“the flames can't hurt you. They will only pass through your body and you will reach heaven in the twinkling of an eye... It is a wonderful world. You could become a 'religious queen' and many people will serve you.”She said her mother and other Falun Gong practitioners said this to encourage her to set herself on fire. However, the flames changed everything. The pain and fear made the young girl cry out for help. She was rescued by police .and sent to Jishuitan Hospital, China's leading hospital for treating burn patients.
The hospital found the girl had bums to 40 percent of her body and bums to her face. A healthy gift has been physically damaged for life. Siying had been a well-behaved girl. Her mother taught her to practise Falun Gong last March and she became acquainted with a number of Falun Gong practitioners. The followers often praised her for being clever and said that she could become a“religious queen”in heaven. Doctors at the hospital said it was only after 16 hours at the hospital that the shock caused by the burns was controlled. Her head was bandaged and she was given a skin-transplant operation on her left hand.
The girl said she set herself on fire because she was“going to heaven”. She said she learnt about Falun Gong from the book“Zhuan Falun”and her mother. She said she had been“fooled”and said she no longer believed in Falun Gong. Doctors said all her fingers may have to be cut off.

解析：

(1) “她的脸和手已被严重烧伤了”才是她无法重新快乐的原因。B、C、D三项都与文章内容不符。(2) 划线部分的意思为“一眨眼的工夫”，即时间过得很快。(3) A 项为“可以接受的”，B项为“勇敢的”，C项为“令人鼓舞的”，都与实际情况不符，D项“令人吃惊的”才是人们的真实反应。(4) A 项“我们应当从中吸取教训，并与法轮功进行斗争”是人们对这次事件的思考，其他几项与实际不符。(5) 文章主要讲述“刘思颖为什么要在天安门广场自焚”，故C项是正确答案。其他三项都不是文章的主要内容。 |
