A lookalike(相像者) of North Korean leader Kim Jong-un(金正恩) has been shocking people in Hong Kong. The 34-year-old impersonator(假扮者), known as Howard, certainly turned heads when he paraded down the city’s streets, drawing a crowd of passers-by trying to get a photo, but not everyone was fooled by the costume.

“I was surprised and I thought hey, I have seen anywhere before, but that was on German TV, and so I recognized him as a dual. I couldn’t believe that he’s the true one.”

Howard says he transformed himself into the North Korean leader earlier this year after his friends joked about the resemblance(相像).

“When he came to power, when he was the president of North Korea, then I got a lot of comments that I look like the guy and then you know, we joked back and forth, yeah, maybe I should get dressed up and do some concerts with it. After all, I’m a musician so you know, it’s about the performance.”

Within weeks Howard was in great demand, being flown across the world to film TV commercials and make special appearances, and he hopes the work keeps coming.

“Well, I’m set up for life. What can I say? I mean, Reggie Brown, all these Obama impersonators, they got eight years! I’ve got a lifetime, unless he gets killed, that is. Which could happen, you never know. I’ve heard Kim Jong-nam(金正南) is working something up.”

But if you want the Kim Jong-un lookalike at your party, it will set you back a pretty penny. He now charges the equivalent of 700 US dollars for an appearance.

68. Which of the following statements is true?

A. Howard is a North Korean.    B. Howard is a German.

C. Howard is a South Korean.    D. Howard might be an American.

69. According to the passage,____.

B. you can invite him to your party free.

C. he might be an impersonator longer than those American president ones

D. he himself is a leader

70. Howard is welcome because he ____.

A. looks like Kim Jong-un       B. is a successful musician

C. is a millionaire              D. works for Kim Jong-un

71. We know from the passage that ____.

B. now he is glad that he has the appearance

C. Kim Jong-nam will take the place of Kim Jong-un 

D. he will meet with Obama

JAKARTA, INDONESIA - Walking with long steps and his smile lighting up a rainy afternoon, Barack Obama seems to have arrived to visit a school he attended as a boy. But wait. He's not real Obama. The US president is back in Washington, D. C.

    So who is this guy? He's llham Anas, 34, a magazine photographer who has taken advantage of his perfect resemblance(相像) to Obama and turned it into his own wealth.

    When his sister first mentioned the resemblance, Anas dismissed it. Then a friend 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.

    However, as soon as he accepted the idea, his career took off. Recently a group of reporters followed him on a tour of the school Obama once attended. Anas sat in the classroom where the present US president once studied. He spoke a few lines in English. The moment he opened his mouth, however, the differences became clear. “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 practicing Obama's actions.    

    He says he has made a request to meet President Obama when he arrives, but he hasn't heard back from the president' s schedules. Now he no longer sees an average guy. Now he sees a superstar.

   Now, Anas 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.

What does the underlined part in Paragraph 4 mean?

A. Anas also thought he looked like Obama.

Why does Anas hope Obama will be president in the next term?
