Passage
Questions 1 to 5 are based on the following passage.
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
Dont!. 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

television.

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!
