　　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 sch001.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 theatrical company(劇團)，usually as an assistant stage manager This means doing everything that there is to do in the theatre and occasionally 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 got out to speak to the girl.He asked if she would like to go to the film studio to do a test，and she thought he was joking Then she got angry and said she would call the police 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

　　附：高中英語閱讀技巧之略讀

　　我們把略讀也可稱為跳讀或者瀏覽。這是一種專門的非常實用的快速閱讀的技能。而所謂的略讀，實指盡可能快的閱讀，迅速地獲取文章的大意或主題思想。也就是說略讀要求讀者有選擇地進行閱讀，可以跳過某些不必要的細節(jié)，而抓住文章的大概，從而加快閱讀的速度。

　　我們在進行略讀訓練時要注意以下技巧：

　　(1)要利用排版格式，如書或文章的標題、副標題、小標題、斜體字、黑體字腳注、標點符號等。對書和文章進行預測略讀。預測略讀要了解作者的思路、文章方式，以把握大意、有關的細節(jié)極其相互關系。

　　(2)以一般速度閱讀。閱讀文章開頭的一、二段，力求抓住文章的大意、背景情況、作者的文章風格、口吻或語氣等

　　(3)閱讀段落的主題句和結(jié)論句。聚統(tǒng)計，大約有80%的主題句是段落的首句，其他20%左右的是尾句。因此我們往往可以通過閱讀每段的首句或尾句來了解整篇文章的大意。

　　(4)注意關聯(lián)詞，如轉(zhuǎn)折詞however, moreover,序列詞firstly, secondly 等.
