6.Walking with long steps on purpose,Barack Obama appears to have arrived to visit an elementary school he attended as a boy.But wait.It's not real Obama.The US president is back in Washington DC.
So who is this guy?He's Ilham Anas,34,a teen-magazine photographer who has taken advantage of his striking resemblance to Obama and turned it into his own brand of celebrity and wealth.
Since his sister told him in 2007that he looked like the then-presidential candidate,Ana's face and big smile have been seen on Southeast Asian TV and the Internet,appearing in the advertisements of medicine and other products.He has also shown up on his nation's television-talk show.Anas'resemblance to the president has turned his life around 180degrees.He's even written an autobiography Because of Obama.
Anas is the first to admit that he's an impostor(冒牌貨).But he'll also tell you that he's in incredible demand."I've got so much work I can't handle it all,"he said.
But when his sister first mentioned the resemblance,he dismissed it.Then a colleague at the magazine asked him to pose as Obama in front of a US flag.He also refused."I'm a photographer,not an object for the camera,"he said.
As soon as he accepted the idea,his career took off.The married father of two children is rarely home these days.Recently a group of reporters followed him on a tour of the elementary school Obama once attended.Anas sat in the classroom where the president studied.He spoke a few lines in English.The moment he opened his mouth,however,the differences became apparent."Obama is a baritone(男中音),"Anas said."I'm not.I sound like a little boy."He is also shorter than the president.But he makes up for that by practising Obama's typical actions.Before public appearances,he spends hours in front of the mirror posing,gesturing,flashing that smile.
Anas said he hasn't changed his appearance much for the role.He wears his hair just like he did in high school.But he did shape his eyebrows to look more like those of the president.
He used to dislike looking into the mirror because of his average appearance.Now he no longer considers himself as an average guy,but a superstar.
Now,he hopes that Obama will win a second term in the White House.‘‘The longer he's in office,the longer my fame will last,"he said.

點(diǎn)評 人物故事類閱讀理解文章是高考英語常考材料之一.這類文章一般可分為人物傳記和短篇故事兩類.這兩類閱讀材料一般較長,即詞數(shù)多,而且命題也較多,特別是推理判斷題和事實(shí)細(xì)節(jié)題多.在做此類閱讀理解題時(shí)往往是材料看得懂,題目不好做的感覺.因此,在閱讀材料時(shí)要重點(diǎn)放在事情發(fā)展的過程和結(jié)果上,注意把握事件的發(fā)展進(jìn)程及人物之間的關(guān)系,細(xì)節(jié)與主題的關(guān)系,用以說明人物性格特點(diǎn)的事實(shí)、作者的態(tài)度等,這些內(nèi)容往往是推理判斷題的命題點(diǎn).至于事實(shí)細(xì)節(jié)題的解答,同學(xué)們切忌想當(dāng)然或者憑印象,一定要找到文章中的原句,和題干進(jìn)行比較,再做出正確選擇.
