Hi, I’m Guo Qilin, a crosstalk performer（相声演员）. Many people know me from my father, Guo Degang. My father is a famous Chinese crosstalk artist. The art of crosstalk has a long history in China.

I like crosstalk very much when I am a little child. My father’s friend, Yu Qian, is my teacher. He always asks me to read as much as possible. So I read a lot of books and this helps me think well. The basic skills（基本功）of crosstalk are boring, but I practice every day. I also watch many crosstalk shows on TV. Then I learned a lot from others. For meals, I never eat chicken or ice-cream, because I don’t want to be fat. And I often exercise with my friends to keep healthy.

Now I am in many TV shows, plays and films. Do you like me?

【推荐3】阅读下面短文，根据其内容填空和回答问题。（1至4题每题答案不超过3个词，5题须用完整句子回答。）

Fifteen years ago, I drove a taxi for a living. One day I went to pick up a passenger（乘客）at 2:40 am. When I arrived there, I walked to the door and knocked.

After a while, the door opened. A small woman stood before me. She was more than eighty years old. By her side was a big bag.

When we got into the taxi, she gave me an address（地址）, and then asked, “Could you drive through the city?”

“It’s not the shortest way,” I answered quickly.

“Oh, I know,” she said, “I’m on my way to a hospice（临终关怀医院）. I don’t have any family left. The doctor says I don’t have very long.”

I quietly turned off the meter（计程表）. For the next two hours, we drove through the city. She showed me the building where she had once worked, the neighborhood where she had lived. We drove to the address she had given me. “How much do I pay you?” she asked. “None,” I said. “You have to make a living,” she answered. “Oh, there are other passengers,” I answered.

Almost without thinking, I gave her a hug. She said, “You gave an old woman a moment of happiness.”

1. “I” made my living as a ________ 15 years ago.
2. One day “I” picked up an ________ with a big bag.
3. When “we” got into the taxi, the woman wanted “me” to ________ the route（路线）.
