JapanBOrdinary people have always been attracted to the world of movies and movie stars. One way to get closer to this world is to become a movie extra. Although you have seen movie extras，you may not have paid attention to them. Extras are the people seated at tables in a restaurant while the two main actors are in conversation. They are the guests at the wedding of the main characters. They are the people crossing the street while “the bad guy” is being chased by the police. Extras don…t normally speak any lines，but they help make the scenes look real1.Being a movie extra might seem like a lot of fun. You get to see what life is like behind the scenes. But don‘t forget that being an extra is really a job，and it’s mostly about doing nothing. First-time extras are often shocked to learn how slow the processof movie making is. In a finished movie，the action may move quickly. But it can sometimes take a whole day to shoot a scene that appears for just a few minutes on the screen.The main requirement for being an extra is the ability to wait. You may report to work at 5 or 6 a. m.，and then you wait until the director is ready for your scene. This could take several hours. Then there may be technical problems，and you have to wait some more. After the director says “action”and you do the first “take”，you may have to do it again if he or she is not satisfied with the scene. In fact，you may have to do the same scene over and over again. You could be on the set for hours，sometimes waiting outdoors in very hot or cold weather.2 You may not be finished until 11 p. m. or midnight. The pay isn‘t good，either —often only a little bit above minimum wage. And you must pay the agent who gets you the job a commission of about 10 percent.So who would want to be a movie extra？In spite of the long hours and low pay，many people still apply for the job. Some people truly enjoy the work. They like being on a movie set，and they enjoy the companionship of their fellow extras. Most of them have flexible schedules，which allow them to be available.3They may be students，waiters，homemakers，retired people，or unemployed actors. Some unemployed actors hope the work will help them get real acting jobs，but it doesn‘t happen often. Most people in the movie industry make a sharp distinction between extras and actors，so extras are not usually considered for large parts.The next time you see a movie，don‘t just watch the stars. Take a closer look at the people in the background，and ask yourself ：Who are they？Why are they there？What else do they do in life？Maybe there is someone in the crowd who is just like you.34.What do we know about movie extras？A）They often wait around on movie sets and do nothing.B）They are invited to watch the movie making.C）They often get real acting jobs.D）They help choose the scenes35.What might shock movie extras the first time they do the job？A）They do the same scene many timesB）Being an actor seems like a lot of funC）It is very slow to make a movieD）The action moves very quickly.36.

The band plays as we move gracefully (优雅的) across the floor. His hand is on my waist (腰), guiding as it always was. Around and around we go, laughing and nodding to the other dancers.My father squeezes my hand and smiles at me. All the years that I refused to dance with him melt away now.When I was almost 3 and my father came home from work, swooped (一下揽入) me into his arms and began to dance me around the table. My mother laughed at us, told us dinner would get cold. But my father said, "Dinner can wait." And he sang, "Roll out the barrel（桶）, let's have a barrel of fun," and I sang back, "Let's get those blues on the run."We danced through the years. One night when I was 15, lost in some painful, adolescent mood (青春期的多愁善感). My father put on a stack of records andteased me to dance with him. "Comeon," he said, "let's get those blues on the run."I jumped out of the chair screaming, "Don't touch me! I am sick and tired of dancing with you!" I ran to my room, sobbing. The hurt on his face did not escape me.We did not dance together after that night. I found other partners, and my father waited up for me after dances, sitting in his favorite chair. Sometimes he would be asleep when I came in, and I would wake him, saying, "If you were so tired, you should have gone to bed.""No, no," he'd say, "I was just waiting for you."When I grew up and left home, hugs and kisses were common when we visited each other. But he did not ask me to dance. I knew he was waiting for an apology from me. I could never find the right words.As my parents' 50th anniversary approached, I decided the time had come. When the band began to play after dinner, my parents took the floor. They glided around the room. The guests rose to their feet, applauding the golden couple. My father danced with my daughters. Then the band began to play Roll Out the Barrel. In a trembling voice, I sang, “Let‟s get those blues on the run.”My father stood rooted to the spot. Then he bowed and said: “Yes, I‟ve been waiting for you.”We moved into each other‟s arms, catching once more the rhythm of the dance.38.
