In both 2004 and 2005, Li Yong was elected as the Most Valuable TV Show Host. He has been at the   1   of the list for two years. He is considered “  2   and intelligent(机智的)”. He not only laughs most but also laughs rather wildly in front of the camera. He moves freely between the stage and the   3  whenever he wants. He talks while he walks. He never falters (支吾地说) and he always says, “Don’t leave and we’ll be back   4   the advertisement”, at the   5  .

  6   a long face, a big mouth and small eyes, Li Yong is a sort of ugly. Someone said that the audience wouldn’t like him when he first appeared on the screen. But now he becomes China’s most popular TV show host.

“I wouldn’t have become popular without CCTV. I don’t   7   myself a celebrity(名人). I am just a host or a public   8   . I don’t feel like a famous person. I don’t believe that my   9   will always be there. I know   10   I will fall on the stage, then I will walk away. I won’t have others   11   me away,’ he said.

Maybe you don’t believe that Li Yong didn’t like to talk with others when he was young. He was born in Xinjiang. In his childhood, he loved   12   . He always went around the street with his palette(调色板) and painted everything he   13  . After   14   senior middle school, he became more and more active. He didn’t   15   his teachers’ orders. He always made much trouble. Teachers couldn’t believe he would enter a college. But he made up his mind to   16  in entering Communication University of China. Now all the teachers   17  taught him say to their students proudly, “Li Yong－my   18  .”
