Georgia was waking up to a new president Monday but it was also getting as its first lady a green－eyed linguist from Holland who has already managed to cast a spell over the little Caucasus nation. Sandra Roelofs is seen by some as the secret weapon which enables her husband Saakashvili to win in this presidential election. She runs an investment consultancy(投资咨询公司), speaks six languages and some believe she is the real brains behind her husband's rise to power.
Roelofs, who is a year younger than her husband, met him in 1993 when he was studying an international law programme in Strasbourg, France. She planed to go from there to Somalis as an aid worker but Saakashvili persuaded her to go with him instead to New York, where he had got a scholarship. They married soon after and when Saakashvili returned to his native Georgia to begin a career in politics, she went with him.
She has enchanted(使人心醉) many of her adopted countrymen. The mention of her name sends women swooning(神魂颠倒), and melts the tough expressions of strong Georgian men. “You can really tell that she cares about people,” says a resident of the capital, Tbilisi. “She runs a hunitarian organization. She is smart and pretty and kind and did you hear the way she speaks Georgian? Perfectly!”
The new first lady's looks and intelligence play a large part in her appeal. But Georgians are especially taken by her simple manner. She has said that she plans to keep living in the family's modest flat, even though they have the right to move into a luxurious government residence. “She doesn't care about fancy houses and cars.” said Malika, a 29－year－old civil servant in Tbilisi.
1．The underlined part “cast a spell over” means ________.
[ ]
2．Which of the following can he best used to describe Sandra Roelofs?
[ ]
3．What moves Georgians most is that Sandra Roelofs is very ________.

4．Which is the right order in which Sandra Roelofs did the following?
a．Roelofs married Saakashvili.
b．She planned to go from France to Somalis as an aid worker.
c．Roelofs runs an investment consultancy.
d．Roelofs came from Holland.
e．Roelofs went to Georgia with Saakashvili.
