阅读理解 Acting is such an overcrowded profession that the only advice that should be given to a young personthinking 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 play company,usually as an assistant stage
manager.This means doing everything that there is to do in the theatre:painting scenery, publicity,looking
after the furniture,taking care of the clothes,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 working with a better company,or perhaps in films or television.
Of course,some people have unusual chances which lead to fame and success without this long and
hard 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 car.He
stopped and got out to speak to the girl. He asked if she would like to go to the film studio to do a test,and
she thought he was joking.Then she got angry and said she would call the police.It took the producer
twenty minutes to convince Connie that he was serious.Then an appointment was made for her to go to
the company the next day.The test was successful.And within a few weeks she was playing the leading
part in a film.But chances like this happen once in a blue moon!1.From the very beginning,the author puts it clearly that acting is a profession . A.sought after by too many people

【备考提醒】
为了保证较高准确率，建议同学们做好以下几点：
1、保持正常的考试心态。笔者在教学中发现，越是容易的试题，同学们越是容易失分。为什么呢？因为在这种情况下，同学们极易产生麻痹思想，认为题目好做，就不引起高度重视，于是思维不发散、不周密。而命题人就是利用同学们的这一弱点，设计陷阱题。所以，无论试题难易与否，我们都要保持正常的考试心态。试题容易，不欣喜；试题难，不悲观。
2、根据前面讲到的方法，认认真真、细细心心做好事实细节题。
3、做好语义转换题。这类题是根据英语中一词多义和某些词语在文中能表达一定的修辞意义的原则而设计的。要求同学们解释某生词的含义，确定多义词或短语在文中的意思，确认文中的某个代词所指代的对象，或者对英语中特有的表达、格言、谚语进行解释。这种题要求同学们一定要根据上下文猜测词义或理解句子，切不可望文生义。
4、做好简单推理判断题。简单推理判断题要以表面文字为前提，以具体事实为依据进行推理，做出判断。这种推理方式比较直接，只要弄清事实，即可结合常识推断出合理的结论。
