Every evening Sylvie left her grandmother's house at 5：30 to bring their cow home.The old animal spent her days out in the open country eating sweet grass.When the cow heard Sylvie’s voice calling her，she would hide among the bushes，unwilling to go home.

This evening it had taken Sylvie longer than usual to find her cow.The child hurried the cow through the dark forest，following a narrow path that led to her grandmother's home.

“Hello，little girl，”a young man called out cheerfully.“I've been hunting for birds，but I've lost my way.”The young man explained he was a scientist，who searched for birds.“Do you put them in a cage?”Sylvie asked.“No，”he answered，“I shoot them and deal with them with special chemicals to preserve them，”

It is a live celebration of the lasting power of letter writing!

Letters Live，which started in December 2013，was held at the Freemasons’Hall in London from March 10 to 15.The show invited various great performers who read remarkable letters that had been written around the world over the centuries.

“Bringing letters alive through outstanding performances is one of the most powerful ways in which the joy and pain and humor and tragedy of being human can be shared，”Jamie Byng，managing director of Canongate Books publishing firm，told the Nowness video channel.

British actor Benedict Cumberbatch agreed.“Letters are windows into the love，beauty，pain and humor of their creators and receivers，”he told The Guardian.“Letters Live makes us stop and imagine the lives behind the letters read and where they came from.It’s a privilege to read this most ancient of communications 1ive to an audience.”

This year，the movie Sherlock star treated the audience by playing the part of a 17-year Tom Hanks.He put on the young actor's voice when he read his letter to the Hollywood director George Roy Hill，a letter that urged Hill to“discover”him.The letter revealed that two-time Oscar winner Hanks’ teenage dream was not to“be a big-time Hollywood superstar”but to one day own a Porsche ear and call his favorite US actor Robert Redford his nickname“Bob”

Other famous faces at the event included Carey Mulligan，who played a fictional laundry worker，a female activist fighting for women’s rights in the 2015 movie Suffragette.The British actress once again played the role of a suffragette，when she read a very enthusiastic letter demanding the vote for women.The suffragette sent a precious 1913 note to the Daily Telegraph newspaper.

“Everyone seems to agree upon the necessity of putting a stop to Suffragist anger，but no one seems certain how to do so，”Mulligan read out.“There ape two，and only two，ways in which this can be done. Both will be effectual.One，kill every woman in the UK. Two，give women the vote.”

28.What was Cumberbatch’s attitude towards Jamie Byng’s opinion?

A.Doubtful B.Positive. C.Optimistic.D.Cautious.
