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, though the chances of his becoming famous are slim. The normal way to begin is to go to a drama school. Usually only students who show promise and talent are accepted, and the course lasts two years. Then the young actor or actress takes up work with a repertory company, usually as an assistant stage manager. This means doing everything that there is to do in the theatre: painting scenery, looking after the furniture, taking care of the costumes, and even acting in very small parts. It is very hard work indeed. The hours are long and the salary is tiny. But young actors with the stage in their blood are happy, waiting for the chances of working with a better company, or perhaps in films or television.
Of course, some people have unusual chances which lead to fame and success without this long and dull 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 big car. He told the driver to stop, and he got out to speak to the girl. He asked her if she would like to go to the film studio to do a test, and at first she thought he was joking. Then she got angry and said she would call the police. It took the producer twenty minutes to tell Connie that he was serious. Then an appointment was made for her to go to the studio the next day. The test was successful. They gave her some necessary lessons and within a few weeks she was playing the leading part opposite one of the most famous actors of the day. Of course, she was given a more dramatic name, which is now world-famous. But chances like this happen once in a blue moon! [br] An assistant stage manager’s job is difficult because he has to_________.
选项
A、do all kinds of stage work
B、work for long hours
C、wait for a better company
D、act well
答案
A
解析
本题是个细节判断题。根据题干中的an assistant stage manager,考生可锁定文章的第一段。原文中讲,年轻演员开始在轮演剧团工作,职位一般为舞台总监助理。这意味着,要做剧院里所有的工作。选项B是个干扰项,这只是其中一个因素而已。
