RM 104 B Kurth Reis of San Francisco, California, has been through many hard times in his life. In 2018, Reis had a serious motorcycle accident and spent time in a hospital. The accident affected him deeply, body and spirit. He had several medical operations. Reis said he felt like he was “reborn” each time he woke after an operation. Following 88 days in the hospital, Reis was released and felt ready to change his ways. Lately, he says he just wants to cheer people up by making bubbles. You can watch him perform his bubble art for hours at a time around the city’s streets and in its parks. Sometimes he puts out a glass container called a tip jar. People who watch his show can drop money into it if they want to. If the weather is good for bubbles, Reis makes a special mixture that can make bubbles the size of a small car. Humidity, or the amount of water in the air, is good for bubbles. So, he does not perform on very dry days. To make his large bubble, he puts a small rope hanging from two long sticks into the bubble mixture. As he removes it, he opens his arms wide and the bubbles begin to form. Once enough air is inside the bubble, he moves his arms back together to set the bubble free. Some people feel it looks like a bubble “ballet”. While Reis may seem like a bubble-making expert, he only got started in April 2020. Reis can support himself with donations from the audiences. But money is not what stirs him to make bubbles. He feels his art is useful in more important ways. Not long ago, a woman told Reis after a performance that his bubbles had lifted her spirit when her dad died. Reis can see smiles rise from under the face covers worn by those watching him perform. Children cheer and clap their hands. Reis said such reactions make him feel like an essential worker whose job is to spread joy. “I’m just trying to put a smile on somebody’s face by doing some bubbles,” said Reis. 24. What can we know about Kurth Reis from Paragraph 1? A. He had to repay his operation fees. B. He intended to do something different. C. He suffered a minor motorcycle accident. D. He gave up his career as a motorcyclist. 25. What may people do when they watch Reis’ performances? A. Put some money into a tip jar near him. B. Give him applause when he sets a bubble free. 常德市一中2023 年下学期高二年级入学考试英语试卷 第2 页共5 页 {#{QQABAYSQoggAABIAARhCUQGiCkOQkAECCAgOBAAIsAABSAFABAA=}#} C. Grasp a small rope hanging from two long sticks. D.
