     Mr.Clinton and his 3-year-old son Tony are basketball fans. Last October 10th was Tony’s birthday,
so Mr.Clinton decided to drive him to New York, for the first game of the World Series. They had no
ticket but hoped to buy a pair from scalpers.  
     It was a two hours’ ride. After they arrived, they walked in the street for two hours, carrying a sign
(牌子) that read, “ We need two tickets.” There were many scalpers around, but the cheapest ticket
was $200. They were about to leave when suddenly a man stopped them. He took out two tickets and
handed them to Mr. Clinton.  
     “How much do you want?”   
     “Just a present,” said the man. “Enjoy the game.”  
     Mr. Clinton wouldn’t accept, so the man explained, “I’m Jackson. Hans is my boss. He and his wife
haven’t missed a World Series in 18 years. But he is ill and can’t watch the game this time. So he told
me to give the two tickets to people who I thought would actually enjoy the game. A lot of people
looked as if they might just take the tickets and sell them. Then I saw you and I followed you for a while.
You seemed very disappointed. You made me think of my dad and me when I was a child. I dreamed
of going to a World Series game with my father. But my dream never came true.”  
     How do you suppose this made Mr. Clinton and his son feel? Here is what Mr. Clinton said: “This is
the most wonderful thing that ever happened to us. My boy and I must have turned to each other over
30 times and said, ‘I can’t believe this.’ We still never forget Jackson and Hans.”

 1.The underlined word scalpers in the first paragraph means ______.    

A. people who buy tickets at a reasonable price    
B. people who sell tickets at a reasonable price    
C. people who buy tickets at a high price    
D. people who sell tickets at a high price

Mr Perfect

　　With a healthy image, handsome face and Japan's coolest haircut, Takeshi Kaneshiro(金城武)is one of Asia's most attractive stars．

　　When “Turn Left Turn Right”(《向左走向右走》)opens in Chinese cinemas next month, there's no doubt the 29-year-old boy will get even more attention．

　　Takeshi stars as John, a lonely violin player who falls in love with a translator called Eve, played by Gigi Leung(梁詠琪)．

　　Many of Takeshi's fans like to copy his haircut, clothes and even his smile．But they will find it hard to copy the way he plays the violin in the movie．He impressed his director To Keifung(杜琪峰)by learning to play the violin in a few weeks．

　　This attitude to hard work is one of the reasons why Takeshi is such a good role model for young people．Like many young people, he values friendship more than anything else．“My best friends are my former schoolmates,” he once said, “We became close when we were at school and will be friends forever．”

　　Besides his good looks and hairstyle, he is well known for his healthy image．He started his acting career at the young age of 15 but, unlike other pop stars, he has rarely behaved badly．He stays away from drugs, alcohol and cigarettes．Violence, rude words and dirty jokes seldom appear in his movies．

　　“I hated foreign language classes when I was in school, but now I find speaking several languages helps me a lot in my career,” he said．For someone who only took up acting, Takeshi has come far．No doubt his star will rise even higher．
