In March 2005, Benjamin Mee received a letter from his sister. Inside was a house-for-sale advertisement. It was a house with a zoo full of animals in its garden.

Earlier that year, Benjamin’s father had died and his mother was living alone in a large house in London, which she was trying to sell.Benjamin, who was living in France, hoped to sell his mother’s house and buy the zoo. Then his family could all live together. He knew that his father would not have agreed. But Benjamin was thinking of the future.

Surprisingly, Benjamin’s mother agreed. In 2004 she spent a day at a zoo helping the zoo keepers and really enjoyed looking after the animals. Benjamin’s wife was more anxious. She was very ill and didn’t want to change her life, but Benjamin made her believe it was a wise choice.

Unluckily, buying the zoo was quite difficult, but after a year of trying, in October 2006, they did it. But shortly after the family moved there, a jaguar（美洲豹）had run away because a zoo keeper had forgotten to close a door. The family had to repair it before opening. Then while they were doing the repairs, Benjamin’s wife died.

On 7 July 2007, the zoo opened. There were plenty of animals, such as tigers, parrots and snakes. Visitors loved the zoo, and loved what Benjamin and his family had done.

In 2008, he wrote a book called We bought a zoo, which became very popular. A Hollywood producer read the story and decided to make a film about it, and in 2012, the film was shown and the money Benjamin made from it helped to keep the zoo open.

If you’d like to visit the zoo that Benjamin’s family bought, it’s called the Dartmoor Zoological Gardens, in south-west England.

48.Why did Benjamin want to buy the zoo?

A.His sister advised him to do that.  B.He wanted to bring his family closer

I guess you could say that acting is in my blood as my mother and my father are both actors, my grandfather was a theatre musician and my grandmother was a singer and dancer. I suppose it seemed natural for me to perform for family and friends and I certainly wasn’t shy while growing up. I actually used to enjoy the attention and I still have many enjoyable memories of the whole family singing and dancing together.

That’s why it came as no surprise that I started going to drama school from the young age of six. I attended classes there every Saturday for almost 10 years. We were taught how to sing and dance, as well as act, so I was quite good by my teens.

Once I’d left school, I went to drama school in London full-time to do a degree. I must say that at that time, and for a period of about six months, I needed a break. Thad spent my whole childhood acting and it felt like I had missed so much fun.

So I started partying with friends, danced the nights away and slept late most mornings. It was only when my teacher told me that I was on my final warning that I realized it was time to stop. Partying was great but I was about to lose everything I had worked so hard for all these years.

After the shock of that realization, I got my act together very quickly, went back to classes and workshops and soon after, I ended up graduating with a first. I had always been confident about my acting skills but it was then that I felt truly ready to get myself out there professionally. A few months later, The Royal Shakespeare Company gave me my first real role and I acted together with some great names in the world of the stage. Now, of course, I’m better known for my Hollywood roles and people will probably be amazed to hear that I started my acting career as a Shakespearean actor. But it’s true; this is how it all started.
