第3题

Acting is such an over-crowded profession that the only advice that should be given to a

young person thinking of going on the stage is "Don't!" But it is useless to try to discourage someone who feels that he must act, although the chances of his becoming famous are small. The normal way to begin is to go to a drama school. Usually only students who show promise and talent are accepted, and the course lasts two years. Then the young actor or actress takes up work with a repertory company, usually as an assistant stage manager. This means doing everything that there is to do in the theatre: painting scenery, looking after the furniture, publicity, taking care of the costumes, and even acting in very small parts. It is very hard work indeed, the hours are long and the salary is tiny. But young actors with the stage in their blood are happy, waiting for the chance of work with a better company, or perhaps in films or television.

Of course, some people have remarkable chances which lead to fame and success without this long and tedious training. Connie Pratt, for example, was just an ordinary girl working in a bicycle factory. A film producer happened to catch sight of her one morning waiting at a bus stop, as he drove past in his big car. He told the chauffeur to stop, and he got out to speak to the girl. He asked her if she would like to go to the film studio to do a test, and at first she thought he was joking. Then she got angry and said she would call the police. It took t he producer twenty minutes to convince Connie that he was serious. Then an appointment was made for her to go to the studio the next day. The test was successful. They gave her elocution lessons and within a few weeks she was playing the leading part opposite one of the most famous actors of the day. Of course, she was given a more dramatic name, which is now world-famous. But chances like this happen once in a blue moon!

1）.Why is an assistant stage manager's job difficult？（）

A、Because he has to do everything.

B、Because he has to work long hours every day.

C、Because he will not be happy.

D、Because he has to wait for another chance.

2）.Usually only students who （）are accepted.

A、have received good education

B、are hard-working

C、are talented and promising

D、are good-mannered

3）.The reason why young people should be discouraged from becoming actors is that （）.

A、actors are very determined people

B、the course at the drama school lasts two years

C、acting is very hard work

D、there are already too many actors

4）."Then she got angry and said she would call the police". This sentence shows that （）.

A、She totally disbelieved the proposal

B、The man acted with an ill purpose

C、The man forced her into his big car

D、She was a nervous woman

5）.The phrase "once in a blue moon" refers to（）.

A、once in a full moon

B、once for a while

C、once for a long time
