阅读理解

    When people discover that I work as a film and TV extra (临时演员), they always ask me the same questions: Emily, is it easy to get work? Isn't it boring? Do you get to meet famous actors? Does it pay well? My answers are pretty standard as well: Yes, sometimes, once in a while, and… kind of. The life of an extra is both more interesting and more boring than you might imagine.

    Extras, who play the people in crowds, on streets, or in the background of indoors scenes, can come from all walks of life. Unlike many extras, I'm a trained actor. I do get real speaking roles, but work can be hard to come by if you're not a popular star. I'm registered (注册) with an agency that deals only with extras, so I get calls all the time. The agency explains who I'll be someone in a crowd, a member of a jury, a clerk and tells me where to go. Call time is usually bright and early, so I try to get to bed at a reasonable hour.

    Sometimes being an extra is a "hurry up and wait" job. In my first extra role, I was one of a group of office workers who come out of a building just as a car explodes (爆炸) in the street. We waited for hours for the scene to be shot, and then went in and out of the building about fifty times, trying to act terrified by an explosion which was not real. Then we had lunch, changed clothes, and spent the afternoons as customers in a department store.

    It may sound like I don't enjoy the work, but I do. Being part of the background in a convincing (令人信服的) way is challenging, and being on a film or TV set is always fascinating. A lot of famous actors don't even notice the extras, but the ones who do make the job a lot of fun for everyone. As for the money, it's nothing compared to what the big actors make, but it pretty much pays the bills. And, as a bonus, I've beaten my high scores on all my phone games, thanks to all the time I spend sitting around, waiting for something to happen.

(1)、Emily gives standard answers because ______.
A、she is proud of her job B、she wants to hide her feelings C、she thinks it's unnecessary to explain D、they are the exact answers to the questions
(2)、What does Emily think of her job?
A、Busy. B、Enjoyable. C、Fashionable. D、Easy.
(3)、In line 21, another way to say as a bonus would be ______.
A、above expectation B、as a result C、in general D、after all
(4)、According to the passage, _____.
A、the famous actors look down upon the extras B、being an extra is always a "hurry up and wait" job C、Emily tells the truth about being a film and TV extra D、those who want to be film or TV extras must be trained
(5)、We can infer that Emily ______.
A、often pays the bills for others B、sometimes has to get up very early C、has beaten all the phone game players D、was in face of danger in her first extra role

Last weekend when I was walking in the local park,I noticed a group of boys picking on(找茬) a small boy.They were calling him names.They even1 him to the ground and kicked him in the face.2 I saw that,I walked over to the group.

I stood between them and the small boy,and asked politely3 this small boy had done.One of the boys4 ,"He did nothing.He's just weird(古怪的)."Then I asked another boy if he thought the small boy was weird5 was"No."So,I asked them what the word"weird"6 .One of the boys said,"Different."

I told them that everyone is7 ,and that they all looked just as different to the small boy as he did to them.They all stood8 for a moment.And then the most 9 thing happened.One of the boys helped the small boy off the ground and said 10 to him.He even invited him to play together.

I thanked the boy for being so 11 .As I looked around,I realized that there were many other people in the park but12 else had stopped to help the small boy.I felt13 that one of the boys was strong enough to stand up against his friends to help someone in need,but I felt sad that no one else had 14 taken a second look.
