Acting is such an over-crowded profession that the only advice that should be given to a young person thinking 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 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 is 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! From the very beginning, the author puts it clearly that acting is a profession ______.

In recent decades child specialists have tried more and more to help parents with their children’s school behavior. Schools of education (31) tended to emphasize subject matter (32) what the children are being taught, but attention increasingly is being paid to the children themselves. One area (33) emphasized is the matter of a (34) developmental or "maturity" level--that is, the child’s (35) of readiness for starting school. Research demonstrated that a major (36) of children who fail in school (37) primarily because of their immaturity and their unreadiness for the work of the (38) that law designates: age five for kindergarten, age six for first grade. Common sense (39) us that not all five-year-olds have reached (40) average level of performance expected (41) age five. Thus many five-year-olds fail in kindergarten and six-year-olds fail in first grade (42) because of a "learning disability" or "attention deficit disorder" but simply because (43) are in a too-advanced grade. Experience has shown that the number of (44) learners can be substantially reduced by a policy of (45) every child’s readiness--that is, (46) level before beginning school. This concept has (47) widely. Many school systems now routinely provide not only readiness testing but also extra grade (48) : pre-kindergarten or "developmental" kindergarten for a year (49) full kindergarten; and pre-first grade for six-year-olds not fully (50) for first grade.
It is often difficult for visitors to understand Americans’ lack of desire for privacy. They are not a nation of walled gardens and closed gates. Their yards normally run into one another without fences；they often visit one another’s homes without being invited or telephoning first; they leave their office doors open while they work.Their lack of desire for privacy probably results from their history as a nation. America is a big country. There have never been walled cities in the United States, nor was there the need for Americans to protect themselves from neighboring states. During the early years, America had so few settlers that neighbors were very important; they were not to be shut out by doors and fences. Neighbors offered protection and helped in the hard work of settling the land. They depended upon each other.From the nation’s early history has come the desire for openness rather than privacy. Visitors will notice this desire in a number of small ways; there may be rooms in American homes that do not have doors or that have glass walls. If you notice that people forget to close your door when they leave your room, do not think that this is rude, help them to learn that you would like it to be closed, or else become accustomed to new ways. In either case, be patient with the differences. Visitors will notice Americans’ desire for openness in the way()
