Last year I went to the Rio de Janeiro Carnival，and it blew my mind.It had been my dream to attend the famous carnival for many years，so I was excited.However，the moment I arrived，I was a little bit nervous because there were so many people on the streets.They say that five or six million people come to Rio during carnival time and about two million of them are on the streets on any given day.Luckily，I had a local guide，my sister's friend Ronnie.He said he would take care of me and show me around at the carnival.He did not let me down.
   Well，the carnival is all about the samba.It's a style of music and dance which has its origins in Africa.Lots of Africans were used as slave（奴隸） labor by the Portuguese when Brazil was being conquered，so this mixed culture of African，Latin and European styles is really strong here.Samba music is usually fast and exciting with a lot of drums and harmonic vocals（和聲）.It's the kind of music that you couldn't help dancing to.And I was learning that as I followed Ronnie through the crowd，I couldn't help moving my hips and shoulders.
   Ronnie had got us tickets for the samba parade inside the Sambadrome where the top samba schools compete for the championship，but we still had a long way to go through the street parties.He said most people enjoy the carnival by making their own parties in the street.About the samba parade，twelve main teams compete for the championship，and if they win，their performance will be talked about for years to come.
So，you must be wondering how it was.Well，I'm afraid I can't tell you.Ronnie and I never made into the Sambadrome.We spent the day moving from one street party to another.There were more snacks，more drinks and lots of dancing.Do I regret missing the main parade？Not at all.I experienced the carnival like the locals，and it was truly amazing.

  • 1．When I was 17，I read a magazine article about a museum called the McNay，once the home of a watercolourist named Marian McNay.She had requested the community to turn it into a museum upon her death.On a sunny Saturday，Sally and I drove over to the museum.She asked，"Do you have the address？" "No，but I'll recognize it，there was a picture in the magazine."
       "Oh，stop.There it is！"
       The museum was free.We entered，excited.A group of people sitting in the hall stopped talking and stared at us.
       "May I help you？" a man asked."No，" I said."We're fine." Tour guides got on my nerves.What if they talked a long time about a painting you weren't that interested in？Sally had gone upstairs.The people in the hall seemed very nosy （愛窺探的），keeping their eyes on me with curiosity.What was their problem？I saw some nice sculptures in one room.Suddenly I sensed a man standing behind me."Where do you think you are？ " he asked.I turned sharply."The McNay Art Museum！" He smiled，shaking his head."Sorry，the McNay is on New Braunfels Street." "What's this place？" I asked，still confused."Well，it's our home." My heart jolted （震顫）.I raced to the staircase and called out，"Sally!Come down immediately！"
       "There's some really good stuff （藝術作品） up there." She stepped down，looking confused.I pushed her toward the front door，waving at the family，saying，"Sorry，please forgive us.You have a really nice place." Outside，when I told Sally what happened，she covered her mouth，laughing.She couldn't believe how long they let us look around without saying anything.
       The real McNay was splendid，but we felt nervous the whole time we were there.Van Gogh，Picasso.This time，we stayed together，in case anything else unusual happened.
       Thirty years later，a woman approached me in a public place."Excuse me，did you ever enter a residence，long ago，thinking it was the McNay Museum？"
       "Yes.But how do you know？We never told anyone."
       "That was my home.I was a teenager sitting in the hall.Before you came over，I never realized what a beautiful place I lived in.I never felt lucky before.You thought it was a museum.My feelings about my home changed after that.I've always wanted to thank you."

    （1）What do we know about Marian McNay？

    A．She was a painter.
    B．She was a community leader.
    C．She was a museum director.
    D．She was a journalist.
    （2）Why did the author refuse the help from the man in the house？

    A．She disliked people who were nosy.
    B．She felt nervous when talking to strangers.
    C．She knew more about art than the man.
    D．She mistook him for a tour guide.
    （3）How did the author feel about being stared at by the people in the hall？

    A．Puzzled.
    B．Concerned.
    C．Frightened.
    D．Delighted.
    （4）Why did the author describe the real McNay museum in just a few words？

    A．The real museum lacked enough artwork to interest her.
    B．She was too upset to spend much time at the real museum.
    C．The McNay was disappointing compared with the house.
    D．The event happening in the house was more significant.
    （5）What could we learn from the last paragraph？

    B．People should spend more time with their family.
    C．People tend to be blind to the beauty around them.
