he met after saving a Blaina stab (刺) victim's life.
Mr. Holpin was enjoying a night out at Blaina Fair when he witnessed a young girl attacked by a man
with a knife. He bravely removed the weapon from the attacker, and saved the girl.
Betina Skovbro was sent to photograph Mr. Holpin for a newspaper covering the story, and they had
a pleasant conversation. Miss Skoybro said, "He mentioned he was a father to 20 children, 11 of whom
he had no contact with, and he showed me the tatto (纹身) on his back of a huge family tree covered with
all his children's names, which I thought was amazing."
Betina was moved by his story and decided to help him, so they began looking for his missing children
and documented the process with photographs.
"It was strange at first being photographed, but I got used to it. We ended up spending a year together,
and Betina became like a member of the family-she even spent Christmas Day with us." With Benita's help,
they searched for the missing children from four previous relationships.
One of the last photographs Belina took was published in National Geographic magazine. It was about
Mr. Holpin cradling (抱) his youngest child, while the baby's name was added to the family tree on his back.
He said, "Each time I met one of my children, I had no idea what to say. I told them that the reason I
have my tattoo is because even though I had no way of getting in contact I was always thinking about them."
Mr Holpin's children were just as shocked as he was to meet with their father-one daughter had even been
told that he was dead. A lot of his kids had been told bad things about him. He said, "I have had my troubles
in the past, but hopefully the story about the stabbing and Miss Skovbro's photographs have helped prove that
I am not a bad guy after all, and I really love all my children."
Now, he is really close to his kids and they're close to him. He expressed that he wouldn't lose touch with
them again.
B. help him find his missing children
C. document the process with photographs

I first visited hutong as part of a tourist group several years ago. We rode on a trishaw(脚踏三轮车) with a guide explaining the history, architecture and lifestyle of the local inhabitants.
Having visited the "must-sees" of Beijing, like the Forbidden City, the Temple of Heaven, the Drum Tower and the Summer Palace, going into the hutong home of some famous ancient families gave the “Beijing experience” a human element.
My curiosity has sharpened over the years from reading about them at every opportunity. During the preparation for the Olympics I was eager to learn that some siheyuan courtyards in hutong were turned into accommodations(食宿) for visitors. I wished to stay in one someday.
Preparing for a recent trip to the capital, I eagerly sought one out. On my limited teacher’s salary, I settled on an affordable option, though I looked longingly at the more upscale courtyard accommodations.
As usual, I ended up having something closer to a true experience. A real family still lives in the courtyard, which is closer to the original. The rooms all opened into the central courtyard. Flowers were blooming, beans and peas were climbing up the bamboo fence, and the cat was napping in the sun. Every day after exploring the city, I'd hurry back to the hutong, take a quick shower and join the cat – snoozing(小睡) in a bamboo-made chair with a book ready nearby.
As the other guests came back we’d greet one another. There was a mother and young daughter from France, a guy from Canada, a mother and teenage daughter from the Netherlands, a teacher from England and several guests from various parts of China.
Coming and going through the narrow alleys(小巷) of the hutong, the residents would smile and give cheery “ni hao” (hello). Laughing children were playing under the watchful eyes of the neighbors. I felt right at home in this friendly neighborhood.
The main idea of the passage is about ______________.
A. hutong days realize my desires to live local life
B. Trishaw is the only way to visit the hutong
C. living in the hutong with other visitors
D. exploring the deeper of Beijing
When did the author have the idea to visit Beijing hutong?
A. As early as he was a little child
B. when he was reading the text books at school
C. during the preparation for the Olympics
D. the author doesn’t mention it specifically
The underlined word “upscale” in the fourth paragraph means _________.
A. inexpensive B. high-class C. appropriate D. secondary
What is the impression of the author about the people in hutong?
A. They came from all over the world.
B. They all wanted to enjoy the old life of Beijing.
C. They are living together in harmony.
D. They are living in a heavenly peace life.
