VI.阅读理解 The life of an actor appears attractive and many young people dream about becoming one. But the truth is, it is very hard work. If you’re successful, there are deadlines to be met, appointments to keep and the press to deal with. If you’re not successful, then life is extremely tough. I remember when I started out, I had to search the advertisement board at my drama school every day to look for acting jobs. Drama school was expensive and I needed extra cash to help pay the fees. I welcomed every small job. I played extras in many crowd scenes and became a confident participant in a lot of TV commercials for hair shampoo, soap and washing powder. I had been working for about two years before I got my lucky break. One day, as I was passing the drama school, I decided to go in to check the notice board. There was nothing on it and I was just leaving when the secretary came along the corridor with a piece of paper. She asked me how I was and I told her life was hard and work was difficult to find. The next moment, she put the paper in my hand and walked away. My hands were shaking as I unfolded the paper, full of expectation. To my surprise, it was an audition (试演) for a clown for the Canadian circus. I couldn’t stop myself from laughing. I had expected an audition with a famous director for a new film! When I was at drama school, there was a course in acrobatics and clown tricks. I gained top marks in this course for originality and daring. Later I went to the audition feeling very strange. This was not what I’d had in mind when I enrolled in drama school. To my surprise, the job as a clown turned out to be exactly what I wanted. I loved every moment of getting dressed up and putting on make-up. I had the opportunity to travel the world and I was more than an actor, I was an entertainer as well. I visited over 32 different countries and entertained millions of people. 1. From the first paragraph, how is it to be an actor whether you’re successful or not? A. Easy. B. Attractive. C. Enjoyable. D. Difficult. 2. According to paragraph 3, why did the writer go into the drama school? A. To look for a job. B. To see the secretary. C. To collect a piece of paper. D. To put a notice on the notice board. 3. Which of the following can best describe the author’s feeling when he unfolded the paper? A. Extremely frightened. B. Feeling anxious and excited. C. Very worried. D. Trembling with fear. 4. Which of the following would be the best title? A. The Life of a TV Actor B. Acrobatics and Clown Tricks C. More Than an Actor D. Going to Drama School VII.完型填空 Tony Kotsur is the second deaf actor to be nominated (提名) for an Academy Award.
