Madonna Expresses Herself
I know this was over，but it’s like last week in Spain.For some strange reason，I fail to realize the first leg of the tour during the raining season in Japan.So it’s very strange that the dancers prefer the show in the heavy rain.They were so excited to be performing for the audience that the world could be boiling up and they wouldn’t be frightened.Malisha，my assistant became my only way to the outside world.I think in a lot of ways in New York，the time I spent when I was sick was the hardest on her.And since I was staying in my own apartment in New York，I lost my contact with my dancers completely.
Oh，Los Angeles was hard in that way.I mean I’ve always found it’s a little tiring to be among famous people just because you are famous too.It can cause a lot of trouble.Detroit was definitely the hardest place we went to on the tour.You know people always talk about how stars change you but they never talk about how it can change people that cause them.I hadn’t been to the cemetery since I was a young girl.I used to go right after she died.I don’t know my mother’s death is just a big mystery to me when I was a child.No one really explained it to me.So what I remembered most about my mother was that she was very kind and very gentle and very feminine.I mean，I don’t know，I guess，she just seems like an angel to me，but I suppose everybody thinks their mother is an angel when they are five.I also know she was very religious，so I never really understood why she was taken away from us.It just seems so unfair，I never thought that she’d done something wrong.So often，at times I wonder what I have done wrong.
1．Madonna’s tour was in the following order：________.
A．Spain—New York—Japan—Los Angeles—Detroit
B．Spain—Japan—New York—Los Angeles—Detroit
C．Japan—Spain—New York—Detroit—Los Angeles
D．Japan—New York—Spain—Detroit—Los Angeles

A．stop B．chance C．suffering D．performance

A．She is famous all over the world and she lives a very comfortable life.
B．Her life is interesting and colorful and she is admired by anyone else.
C．Although she is very tired，she can tour many places and earn much money.
D．Her life is tiring and hard and she can’t easily contact with the outside world.
4．In Madonna’s opinion，it is fair that ________ have died.
A．people who had done something wrong must
B．people who hadn’t done anything wrong shouldn’t
