阅读短文，根据短文内容，填写下列表格。      Last Saturday, our school organized a talent show to raise money for charity. It was a great success.
Students took an active part in it, and we collected 20 000 yuan in all.
     After the show, I interviewed three students. First I talked with Liu Hong. In the talent show, she danced
the ballet. "How long have you been dancing the ballet?" I asked. "For six years," she answered. "Why do you
learn it?" "I think it"s beautiful and I wanted to be a professional (专业的) dancer when I grow up."
     Next I had a talk with Zhao Ming. He played a piece of Mozart"s music. He played wonderfully. I asked,
"When did you start playing the piano?" "Um, I"m twelve now and I have been doing it since I was five," he said.
"Are you going to play the piano after finishing high school?" "Sure, my dream is to be a pianist."
     Finally, I asked Chen Jie, an 11-year-old girl. She sang us some folk songs (民歌). Her voice is very sweet.
"Why are you interested in folk music?" I asked. "I admire Song Zuying and I wanted to be a singer like her. I
have been singing folk music since five years ago. I hope I can hold a singing concert in the future," she said.

A blind boy sat on the steps of a building with a hat by his feet. He held up a sign which said: "I am blind, please help." There were only a few coins in the hat. A man was walking by. He took a few coins from his pocket and dropped them into the hat. He then took the sign, turned it around, and wrote some words. He put the sign back so that everyone who walked by would see the new words. Soon the hat began to fill up. A lot more people were giving money to the blind boy. That afternoon the man who had changed the sign came to see how things were. The boy recognized his footsteps and asked: "Were you the one who changed my sign this morning? What did you write?"
