What is it like being an actor? Many people think it must be wonderful because we travel to exciting places, wear beautiful clothes and (A)挣钱多. This is only one aspect(方面) of our lives though. We also work very hard.
I played a country girl in my last (B) movie. I had to live in a small village with the other actors for part of the winter. (C)It was really hard for me as I grew up in a city. To help me play a country girl better, I cooked for myself and the others every day. I even walked a few miles sometimes to get water, as there was none in the houses. I wanted to understand how a real village girl lived. I thought it was fun at first. I felt different after a week or two, though.
I did wear some beautiful traditional clothes, but they were not thick enough. I was very cold but I had to keep smiling all the time! One day, I couldn’t do it any longer and I suddenly (D) started crying, “Great!” said the director. “I like it. She is crying with true feelings!” I called my mum to tell (E) Her about it but my mobile phone (手机) wouldn’t work in the village.
I think it is worth doing all this, though. I like it when people tell me they enjoy my plays and ask me to sign a picture. It is also fun to be someone else for a while. I’m very lucky to be an actor.将文中划线部分(A)译成汉语:

To understand why the Earth is warming up , first of all, we need to understand why it is warm. Our planet is covered with atmosphere(大气) . Sunlight passes through the atmosphere and reaches the Earth. The Sun heats up the Earth’s surface. When the heat rises into the air, it is stopped by some special gases(气体) in the atmosphere like CO2 , the heat returns to the Earth and keeps it warm.
Power stations and cars release (释放) so many greenhouse gases every day. So we can help stop global(全球) warming by using less electric things such as turning off lights when we leave a room, asking our parents to turn down the heating in our house to save energy. We can also stop global warming by finding other ways of transportation. For example, ride a bicycle or walk instead of going by car. Another way to help stop global warming is to plant and care for trees. Because trees take in CO2 , they are our best friends when fighting against global warming.
The problem of global warming cannot be solved in a day. It may take a long time to find clean energy, such as wind energy. It may take a long time to plant the trees again we are cutting down. But every little thing each person can do to save energy and our forests will help. Think about our planet. Think about ways we can help make the Earth a safe and comfortable place for the future.The underlined word “it” means _______ in the first paragraph.
A.the heat | B.the Earth |
C.the sunlight | D.the atmosphere |
_______ ways are mentioned to stop global warming to the second paragraph.
A.Two | B.Three | C.Four | D.Five |
Which of the following is NOT true?
A.Everybody can help save energy and our forests. |
B.The problem of global warming can not be solved. |
C.To find clean enrgy will help solve the problem of global warming. |
D.The writer wants us to pay attention to the problem of global warming. |
Which is the best title of this passage?
A.Why is the Earth warming up |
B.When can we stop the Earth from warming up |
C.How can we stop the Earth getting warmer |
D.How long will it take to stop the Earth getting warmer |
