课后提升练(四) Section Ⅳ　WRITING [对应学生用书P168] Ⅰ.阅读理解 A 33-year-old hospital security guard in Ottawa, Janelle Niles is making her childhood dream come true by moonlighting as a stand-up comic(喜剧演员). But she was unhappy and unsatisfied to be the only indigenous(土著的) comic on the bill most nights—and it didn’t take long for her to grow tired of being the “token(象征性的) one”.Niles loved the comedian Kenny Robinson’s long-running, all-Black Yuk Yuk’s Toronto set, “Nubian Show”, and wondered, “Well, where’s ours?” Then she gave her all-indigenous show a name.“Got Land?” is a nod to the Land Back movement.And Niles found some actors to make indigenous comics, such as Don Kelly of APTN’s “Fish Out of Water”.Last September, Niles stood up inside Eddy’s Diner, an Ottawa diner, and welcomed the people to her show.The night sold out: she had to turn people away at the door. Melissa Lambert-Tenasco attended the first show and is now a big fan.“Laughter is big in our communities,” she says, “and it was really nice to laugh with a group of native people.”And while the show is “for our people, with our people,” Niles also wants “Got Land?” to help increase Canadians’ general knowledge about indigenous culture.“It’s a safe environment for us not only to get along with each other, exchange laughs and get some knowledge,” she says, “but also to tell some unpleasant truths.” Niles says her next step is to bring indigenous comedy into the mainstream(主流).She wants to see indigenous comedians share the stage next to big stars like Dave Chappelle and Bill Burr.Her own comedy dream is to be featured on “Just for Laughs”.“With ‘Got Land?’, I’m trying to pull everyone together,”says Niles.“As I make my way through comedy, I want to bring everyone with me.” 1.Why did Niles decide to create “Got Land?”? A.She loved Kenny Robinson’s show. B.Indigenous comics were treated badly. C.She wanted to be as funny as possible. D.There was no well-known indigenous show. D　解析：推理判断题。根据第二段可知，黑人喜剧演员Kenny Robinson有
