The money raised is donated to cancer patients who do not have insurance. The physicians on our Board of Advisors determine how and where our money is donated.

Jean is a bright young woman who comes from a rich and famous family. She goes to a good university and has everything that money can buy. Well, almost everything. The problem is that the people in Jean’s family are so busy that they can hardly find time to be with her. In fact, Jean is quite lonely.

So Jean spends a lot of time on her QQ. She likes being anonymous(匿名), talking to people who do not know about her famous family and her rich life. She uses the name Linda on QQ and has made a lot of friends who she keeps in touch with quite often.

Last year Jean made a very special friend on QQ. His name was David and lived in San Francisco. David was full of stories and jokes.

As time went by, they became good friends and often sent cards and small things to each other.

When Jean’s father told her that he was going on a business trip to San Francisco, she asked him to let her go with him so that she could give David a surprise for his birthday.

For many people around the world, a subway journey means speeding from one dull station to the next, surrounded by too many uncomfortable, impatient people. But on the Moscow Metro, taking the subway is like walking through a national heritage site. Depending on where you get off, you’ll receive a brief course in architectural movements and face colorful glass windows, marble(大理石) columns, gilded(鎏金的) mosaics and painted scenes from Russian history.

“These extraordinarily beautiful places are unlike any metro station I’ve ever seen, “says Vancouver-based photographer David Burdeny.

When Burdeny, who himself has a master’s degree in architecture, first found out about Moscow’s metro stations, he was struck by the work of art. In all, he has photographed 20 of the most beautiful stations.

Burdeny had originally planned to focus on Russian stations more generally, taking photos of examples in both St. Petersburg and Moscow.

“But when I saw the stations in Moscow, they just completely blew away the St. Petersburg ones,” he says.

Shooting in the subway sounds simple, but it is not without challenges. For one thing, Burdeny had to figure out a way to access them between 00:30 a.m. and 5:30 a.m., when the stations were closed.

In the end, he settled on Arbatskaya Metro Station, whose vaulted(拱狀的) arches he found the most beautiful. But it also represented a challenge he was not sure if he was able to overcome: conveying the hugeness of the spaces. The Arbatskaya platform, for example, stretches 820 feet.

“Some of the arches are quite long,” he says. “When you enter them, they’re just so completely grand.”

1.We can learn from the text that David Burdeny .

A. is a world-famous architect

B. took photos of Moscow subway stations

C. took the subway to and from work

D. is studying Russian history

2.What Burdeny found challenging was .

A. when to take photos of Moscow subway stations

B. Whether to work in St. Petersburg or Moscow

C. where to get off to study the Moscow metro system

D. how to photograph the long arches at Arbatskaya Metro Station

3. What does the underlined word “Shooting” mean in Paragraph 6?

A. Firing bullets from a gun

B. Making movies

C. Taking photographs

D. Throwing the ball at the basket.
