AHugh Laurie was the star of the TV series House. The show was watched by over 80 million people across the globe, but has just finished on May 21st, 2012. Fans will definitely miss the talented and troubled Dr Gregory House, who heads a team of doctors at a New Jersey hospital, but there are probably two things that many don't realize: firstly, Hugh Laurie had a long acting career before House; and secondly, although many think he's from the United States, he's actually an English.Hugh got into acting while studying at Cambridge University. He joined the Footlights, an amateur theater group, and began writing and performing in comedy shows. Soon after, he met fellow student and comedian Stephen Fry, and the two became comedy partners. Together they had huge success on British television in the series Jeeves and Wooster and A Bit of Fry & Laurie. By the early 1990s, Hugh was a household name in Britain, but he was still unknown to American and international audiences.However, that all changed in 2004. Hugh was acting in the film Flight of the Phoenix in Namibia when he heard about the upcoming TV show House. He read a few pages of the script (剧本) and fell in love with the main character, Dr Gregory House. So, Hugh filmed an audition (试演) in the bathroom of his hotel (it was the only place with enough light for the camera). The producers loved his audition and Hugh got the part.House quickly became an international hit. And Hugh has since become a superstar. But fame hasn't been easy on his personal life. He's spent the last eight years living in Los Angeles, while his wife and kids stayed in England.So, now that House is over, will Hugh return to England? Or will his family move to the United States? They're still not sure. But Hugh has said that one thing he doesn't miss about London is the wea ther. “This morning I was having a cup of coffee outside ... In London you can only do that three days of the year！”1．What can we learn about the TV series House?A．It was directed by Stephen Fry.B．Its actors all come from America.C．It is a long­runnin g TV series.D．Its story mainly happens in England.2．Which of the following is the CORRECT order of the events that happened in Hugh Laurie's life?a．Hugh played a role in Jeeves and Wooster.b．Hugh met his comedy partner Stephen Fry.c．Hugh acted in the film Flight of the Phoenix.d．Hugh went to Cambridge University to study.A．c, b, a, d B．d, b, a, cC．a, c, d, b D．b, a, c, d3．Hugh Laurie's words in the last paragraph imply that ________.A．he seldom has coffee in LondonB．he enjoys drinking coffee very muchC．he doesn't like the weather in LondonD．he hasn't got used to the life in America4．This text is mainly to introduce ________.A．an international companyB．a world­famous actorC．a popular TV seriesD．a theater groupBThere are many ways to find a job. It can be as easy as walking into a neighborhood store to look at its announcement board. Local stores often have areas where people can put small signs telling what kind of service they need or can provide. Such services include caring for children or cleaning houses. Or, job searchers can look in the newspaper. Local newspapers have employment announcements placed by companies seeking workers.Another popular tool for finding jobs is the Internet. For example, people in four hundred and fifty cities around the world can use the Craigslist Website to buy objects, meet people or find a job. Craigslist says that it receives two million new job listings each month.Another useful way to find a job is through a college or university. For example,students at the University of Texas in Austin can go to the Career Exploration Center to get help in finding a job. Of course, looking for a job requires knowing what kind of work you want to do.For example, there is a book called What Color is Your Parachute (降落伞)? by Richard Bolles. This book has been helping people choose a career (职业) since it was first published in nineteen seventy.Some experts also help people find jobs. Susan W. Miller owns a company called California Career Services in Los Angeles.She says her company helps people find jobs by first helping them understand their strengths, goals and interests. Then she provides them with methods and resources to help them find the right job.5．What is the passage mainly about?A．Finding a job.B．C．Craigslist Website.D．The relation between study and work.6．By logging on the Craigslist Website, you can________.A．sell your old thingsB．do some shopping onlineC．create your own announcement boardD．get useful information about 450 cities7．What Color is Your Parachute? is a book which gives tips to those who want to________.A．work on the airplaneB．buy a parachuteC．publish a bookD．find a suitable job8．Susan W.
