I have a very cute hamster named Barter. Barter has a dark cream-colored body （米色的身体）, and a short tail. He has four tiny feet with sharp claws （尖尖的指甲）and tiny long teeth. He also has a “pocket”on each side of his mouth, for storing food.

　　Barter loves food. His favorite is corn （玉米）. If I give him a bowl of corn, he will eat every bit in a few hours.

　　Barter is quite lovely. He's just over six months old and loves to play. He plays in the hamster wheel every night. When he plays around, he runs here and there, his body looking like a ball of fur（绒毛）rolling about （滚动）. He gets very upset if someone bothers （打搅）him.

　　I like my little pet Barter very much. He's brought me so many laughs and joys.

 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.
