amazing donation because he purchased $1,000 worth of Walgreens stock seven decades ago whose value has grown recently. A single man with no kids, Gremel has lived in the same Chicago house for 95 years, and has always lived simply, neighbor Patrick Falso told TODAY. Falso said he heard Gremel say many times the money wasn39。t mine to begin with and that he always intended to give it away. The Gremel Wildlife shelter was founded on June 4. Illinois Audubon Society president Jim Herkert said Gremel39。s donation was extremely generous. It39。s allowing us to protect a really valuable and important possession and realize one of Gremel39。s wishes that we could find a place where people could e out and experience nature the way he did as a kid, Herkert told TODAY. After doing all this, this past weekend, Gremel adopted an old Chihuahua(吉娃娃犬). Winnie the dog was picked up as a homeless dog several months ago. She suffered from a kind of cancer, which was treated—and all she needed was a loving home, which Colleen Collins, the founder of Perfect Pooches Adoption Agency, was determined to find. Gremel had lost his own beloved Chihuahua earlier this year. When he reached out to Collins about Winnie, she felt this could be a good match. That feeling grew when she brought Winnie to his house for a meet and greet, and Winnie was introduced not only to Gremel but also some of his friends and neighbors. One had brought over a lot of fresh strawberries。 all said they39。d be there to help out in any way needed.(1)Patrick Falso is mentioned in the text mainly to explain _________.

As someone who takes part in so many activities, it39。s extremely difficult to find the time to be a part of any production. For me, it was a onceinalifetime opportunity to try acting through the Senior Play Project. Auditions (試鏡)came first. They weren39。t particularly difficult, more to see who may be a better fit tor certain roles. We were told our roles in the various plays, and started to work immediately. I was unsure of how I was as an actor, and I had to learn a lot fast: actions, my place in the story, my reactions, and countless other small details... As I began to improve as an actor, I was able to understand my characters better. My first character is a man named Roger who is a senior advisor to a presidential candidate in a play called The Spot. He39。s a shorttempered guy who says what he wants and takes what he wants to assist his candidate in today39。s tough political races. He39。s on the set of The Spot, an advertisement for the candidate, to make sure everything runs smoothly and that any problems are dealt with quickly and efficiently. While I had really interesting characters, and the plays were funny and such a great experience to act in, I really love the Senior Play Project for the people. I worked with 12 other seniors who not only loved what they were doing, but offered help and advice throughout my entire learning process. Between the lights, sounds, costume and makeup, and plenty more, theatre is a team sport just like basketball or baseball. There are no small parts。 there is no one who isn39。t needed. I39。ve learned to appreciate live theatre, and the effort that every person in the show, both onstage and offstage, puts into it.(1)How did the author feel about being in the project? A.Lucky.B.Tired.C.Nervous.D.Confident.(2)What do we know about the character Roger? A.He means what he says.B.He puts up an advertisement.C.He gives advice to the candidate.D.He is running for president.(3)What does the author like most about the project? A.The people.B.The plays.C.The characters.D.The costume.(4)What can be a suitable title for the text? A.The Senior Play Project.160
