Best of all, if the customers do not find exactly what they have been looking for in the catalogue, they will not feel that they have wasted their time on a pointless journey; they will have spent perhaps fifteen minutes instead of a few hours, and their feet and legs will not be aching either.

Those who have a passion for climbing high and difficult mountains are often looked upon with astonishment. Why are men and women willing tosuffer cold and hardship, and to take risks on those high mountains? This astonishment is caused probably by the difference between mountaineering and other forms of activity to which men give their leisure.Mountaineering is a sport and not a game. There are no man-made rules, as there are for such games as golf and football. It is thisfreedom from man-made rules that makes mountaineering attractive to many people. Those who climb mountains are free to use their own methods.If we compare mountaineering and other more familiar sports, we might think that one big difference is that mountaineering is not a "team game". We should be mistaken in this. There are, it is true, no "matches" between "teams" of climbers, but when climbers are on a rock linked by a rope on which their lives may depend, there is obviously teamwork.The mountain climbers know that he may have to fight forces that are stronger and more powerful than man.

He looked thin and hungry but his blue eyes were determined. He was hoping to get work in show business for he could sing and dance. His parents were music hall artists and he had been born into the life of the stage. And, although his own boyhood was painfully hard, he knew how to make people laugh.His own father had d ied from drinking too much. And his mother wasn‟t really able to look after Charles and his elder half-brother, Sid, because she was often sick in mind and had to be sent into hospital. Even when she was home with them she seemed to live in a different world. Her illness made the boys very sad.As young men, he and his brother traveled to America in a small company of actors and acted in various cities. One day Charles was invited to join a new company that was making film comedies(喜剧). He accepted the offer and soon become popular.By the time he was thirty, Chaplin was the greatest, best known, and best loved comedian in the world. He had formed his own film-making company and was writing and producing his own films. He was welcomed by excited crowds who surrounded him wherever he went. But he worked very hard and had few close friends.1.Charles Chaplin lived in _______ when he was a boy.A. AmericaB. IrelandC.

But it is useless to try to discourage someone who feels that the he must act, although the chances of his becoming famous are slim. The normal way to begin is to go to a drama school. Then the young actor or actress takes up work with a theatrical company, usually as an assistant stage manager. This means doing everything that there is to do in the theatre: painting scenery, publicity (宣传), taking care of the costumes (舞台服装), and even acting in very small parts. It is very hard work indeed, the hours are long and the salary s tiny.Of course, some people have remarkable 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 asked if she would like to go to the film studio to do a test, and she thought he was joking. It took the producer twenty minutes to convince Connie that he was serious. The test was successful. And within a few weeks she was playing the leading part opposite one of the most famous actors of the day. But chances like this happen once in a blue moon!6. From the very beginning, the author puts it clearly that acting is a profession___________.A. for ambitious people only.B. for young people onlyC. too difficult for young people.D. sought after by too many.7. For someone who feels he must act, it is very likely that ____________.A. he will become a film star at long last.B. he will be well paid.C. he will end up without becoming a film star.D. he will become a stage manager.8. A few weeks after the test, Connie Pratt found herself ____________.A. as famous as the greatest actor of the world.B. playing the leading female role in the playC. no less famous than the leading actor of the day.D. the most famous actress of the world.9. Which of the following is NOT mentioned as part of an assistant stage manager‟s job?A. Help advertise plays.B. Play minor roles.C. Collect tickets.D. Take care of the dress to be worn on the stage by an actor or actress.10. The concluding sentence “ chances like this happen once in a blue moon” means ___________.A. this is a highly profitable chance.B. this is something highly possible.C. this is something which happens once in while.D. this is very rare chance.T ask 3No author in American literature is better known or more loved than Samuel Langhorne Clemens.
