• 2．They may seem like ordinary people by day but in their spare time，these office，shop and school workers bring history to life．During the week they work in shops，offices，clinics and schools，but at weekends they transform into Vikings，Romans and Medieval peasants．The world of re-enactment（重演） is booming with more and more men and women taking up the hobby of travelling to bygone times．
     Factory manager of a busy printers，Brett Freeman，46，from Nottingham，changes into "Padmore，" a Victorian street-seller selling stationery （文具）．
     Already a veteran （老兵） of military re-enactments，Brett joined the "Ragged Victorians" when middle-age kicked in． "I was too old to portray a soldier but I wanted to get back into the hobby and the Ragged Victorians looked the best in terms of being genuine．"
     At his first event，group members gave him "loaner gear" and a year to research his character．His teeth blackened with theatrical stain，in top hat and floppy coat，Brett looks every bit his Victorian image．
     Seeking inspiration，Brett dipped into the works of Victorian journalist，Henry Mayhew，who wrote about the working people of London．
     "My character is inspired by the description of a stationer in Mayhew's London Labour and London Poor．I mixed that up with my own background in print，and local historical sources to create street stationer，Padmore，which is the name of my Victorian great-great grandfather．"
     "Getting into kit（装备） helps immensely and once you are in the public area you try to remain in character wherever possible．" For extra authenticity，Brett combines his language with Victorian selling patter（顺口溜），replacing the word "envelope" with "hangflups．"
     "Re-enacting is great fun，but we're always glad of a hot shower and a comfortable bed at the end of the weekend，" says Brett． "Normal life can seem very dull after a particularly good weekend．It would be wonderful to go back in time for a visit，but studying the period as I have done，makes you realise just how hard life was for our ancestors．"
  
  （1）Why does Brett choose to be a Victorian street-seller？

  
  A．He has already played a veteran．
  B．Portraying a soldier no longer fit him．
  C．He is a manager of a busy printers．
  D．His blackened teeth make it real．
  （2）What does the underlined phrase "loaner gear" in paragraph 4 mean？

  
  A．Stage costume lent to him．
  B．Money paid on loan．
  C．Adequate time．
  D．An assistant．
  （3）Which of the following words can best describe Brett？

  
  A．Brave and careful．
  B．Kind and positive．
  C．Humorous and caring．
  D．Serious and devoted．
  （4）Where can you probably find the above passage？

  
  A．In a research report．
  B．In a magazine．

• 3．Hey，man，
     Good to hear from you again．Your e-mail came in just as I was chatting with another friend，Jeff．I wish I had better advice．
     You know，after I left the Shenandoah Valley，my next job was in Rocky Mount．The two other sportswriters on staff，Travis and Jeff，were in their mid-20s too．Honestly，we'd come to Rocky Mount to leave Rocky Mount．We complained about our shop and envied the Charlotte Observer and the Raleigh News & Observer．What resources they had!Writers who covered only one team didn't have to lay out pages．Talk about living the dream．If we could just get to one of those places!Then we could go somewhere else!
     Travis，Jeff，and I bonded over our desire to part ways．We ate dinner together and went out to cover our games and came back to help send the final pages to the printer．On the best nights，we'd grab the news editors and play Wiffle ball，laughing and joking until almost sunrise．
     We all left there within a year，as intended．Jeff became one of the most well-known NASCAR writers in the country，with almost 200，000 Twitter followers．Now he's got his own media company that's doing quite well．In 2017，Jeff and I went to a Charlotte Knights game，and Jeff said something about Rocky Mount that I won't forget． "I didn't appreciate it then，but honestly，when I look back，it's probably the best time I've ever had in my career．"
     Maybe success isn't measured in achievements，or "being happy with who you are"．Goals and personal peace are selfish markers，and I don't mean to imply selfishness is a bad thing，not at all．Selfishness is the axis of humankind，from cavemen to astronauts to saints on earth．Individual accomplishments bring worldwide accomplishments．But all of the accomplishments may not leave you feeling successful，right？
     The point is，maybe success is a smaller calculation，something more like what Jeff hinted at．Maybe success is having the wherewithal （所需的物资） to be grateful at the precise moment you have something to be grateful for．
     Thank you for writing，old friend．

      With the graduation day approaching， memory are flooding back to me． I remember how unwillingly I was to enter the classroom． "If I have studied harder before， I would have gone to a better senior high school，" I said it to myself． However， I later realized I fell in love with a school．
      The campus scenery is pleasant． The antique pavilion（亭子）， where stands on a small hillside， impresses me most． Surrounded green trees， I can admire the beautiful sunrise and sunset． I often wander around the charming pond and see myself reflecting in its transparent water． Any pains I have are smoothed and float away． The kind teachers and easy-going classmates also warm my heart and cheer me up when I am in low spirits．
      Every time I recall my unforgettable moments， I smile． We've all grew over these three years．
