On

China's
"Little People's Kingdom" is a theme park, where little people dance
and sing in fairytale costumes, drawing both curious groups and criticism. The
theme park, near Kunming City in Yunnan Province, employs 108 dwarfs (矮子) from across the country, who gather on an artificial hillside
twice a day to dance and sing for tourists. And all pretend to live in a tiny
hilltop village.
The
guests can watch shows like comedies, group dance and acrobatics (杂技). The show's centerpiece, a funny performance of SwanLake,
sees performers dressed in special pink costumes and pretending to be
little swans. "The first time I performed it (SwanLake) I felt a bit
embarrassed. I had never worn a skirt like that before. But later, once I got
used to it, I found I could do it very well," said Chen Ruan, 21, from
Hunan Province who joined the park when it opened.
For
many of the employees, the park offers a rare opportunity to find work. As
unlikely as it seems for men and women doing daily funny performances of SwanLake,
they think that it feels good to live in dormitories that look like caves while
living with people with similar experiences. In addition, the life facilities
in the park are made according to their special needs. Besides, performers in
the park earn 2,000 yuan a month,
around twice the salary of a high school graduate.
The
founder of the park, Chen Ming, made his fortune by producing electronics and
investing, but said he had always wanted to help the disadvantaged groups in
the community. People, like human right activists for the disabled, think that
such a park only encourages the discrimination against little people. The only
requirement for participants to be employed at the theme park is to be shorter
than 51 inches and be able to take care of themselves in daily life. The
youngest employee is 18, and the oldest is 48.
40．According to Chen Ming, he founded the park to ____.
A．do good for society
B．invest money and increase his fortune
C．create a ballet show of SwanLake
D．let people know more about the dwarfs
41．After living in the "Little People's Kingdom" for some time, many employees feel ____.
A．worried B．bored C．upset D．satisfied
42．Which qualifications should the employees in the theme park meet
a. Having the ability to look after themselves.
b. No taller than 51 inches.
c. Aged between 18 and 48.
d. Being a high school graduate.
A．a, b B．a, c C．b, d D．c, d
43．What can be learned from the text
A．The employees perform for tourists in nature.
B．The employees perform twice a day.
C．The 108 employees come from all over the world.
D．The park lies in the city of Kunming.

China's
"Little People's Kingdom" is a theme park, where little people dance
and sing in fairytale costumes, drawing both curious groups and criticism. The
theme park, near Kunming City in Yunnan Province, employs 108 dwarfs (矮子) from across the country, who gather on an artificial hillside
twice a day to dance and sing for tourists. And all pretend to live in a tiny
hilltop village.
The
guests can watch shows like comedies, group dance and acrobatics (杂技). The show's centerpiece, a funny performance of SwanLake,
sees performers dressed in special pink costumes and pretending to be
little swans. "The first time I performed it (SwanLake) I felt a bit
embarrassed. I had never worn a skirt like that before. But later, once I got
used to it, I found I could do it very well," said Chen Ruan, 21, from
Hunan Province who joined the park when it opened.
For
many of the employees, the park offers a rare opportunity to find work. As
unlikely as it seems for men and women doing daily funny performances of SwanLake,
they think that it feels good to live in dormitories that look like caves while
living with people with similar experiences. In addition, the life facilities
in the park are made according to their special needs. Besides, performers in
the park earn 2,000 yuan a month,
around twice the salary of a high school graduate.
The
founder of the park, Chen Ming, made his fortune by producing electronics and
investing, but said he had always wanted to help the disadvantaged groups in
the community. People, like human right activists for the disabled, think that
such a park only encourages the discrimination against little people. The only
requirement for participants to be employed at the theme park is to be shorter
than 51 inches and be able to take care of themselves in daily life. The
youngest employee is 18, and the oldest is 48.
