Last year I had the first Thanksgiving Day of my own house．I have never cooked

Thanksgiving dinner before, so I wanted to be special．I spent what seemed like years

cooking．And for my great surprise it came out looking perfectly! I realized that I had

left soft drinks at the store but I ran out to get them after guests arrived．I was away

from for no more than 15 minutes．When I returned, I found my turkey on the floor

surrounding by a greedy cat and a dog with turkey bits in their mouth．

The life of an actor appears attractive and many young people dream about becoming one. But the truth is, it is very hard work. If you’re successful, there are deadlines to be met, appointments to keep and the press to deal with. If you’re not successful, then life is extremely tough.
I remember when I started out, I had to search the advertisement board at my drama school every day to look for acting jobs. Drama school was expensive and I needed extra cash to help pay the fees. I welcomed every small job. I played extras in many crowd scenes and became a confident participant in a lot of TV commercials for hair shampoo, soap and washing powder.
I had been working for about two years before I got my lucky break. One day, as I was passing the drama school, I decided to go in to check the notice board. There was nothing on it and I was just leaving when the secretary came along the corridor with a piece of paper. She asked me how I was and I told her life was hard and work was difficult to find. The next moment, she put the paper in my hand and walked away. My hands were shaking as I unfolded the paper, full of expectation. To my surprise, it was an audition (试演) for a clown（小丑）for the Canadian circus. I couldn’t stop myself from laughing. I had expected an audition with a famous director for a new film!
When I was at drama school, there had been a course in acrobatics and clown tricks. I had gained top marks in this course for originality and daring. Later I went to the audition feeling very strange. This was not what I’d had in mind when I enrolled in drama school. To my surprise, the job as a clown turned out to be exactly what I wanted. I loved every moment of getting dressed up and putting on the make-up. I had the opportunity to travel the world and I was more than an actor, I was an entertainer as well. I had visited over 32 different countries and entertained millions of people.
【小题1】The first paragraph is about how _______ it is to be an actor, whether you’re successful or not.

I must tell you about the most terrible dream I had the other night. Actually， it wasn't a dream， it was  21  of a nightmare. You know I don't believe in the super natural： ghosts， witchcraft（魔法）and all  22 ， but what happened was so  23  that I'm actually beginning to 24   there must be some truth in it.

I know not all ghosts are  30 ， but this one looked really terrifying. Then it spoke. At  31 ， it made some sounds； it was moaning（呻吟）， as if in  32  . You can imagine by this time I was trembling  33  . Hiding under the blankets， I was  34  from head to foot. What terrified me was the thought that the thing might  35  me. I knew if it did， I would  36  . It kept on making strange sounds which now sounded more like   37   or spells. Was it some kind of witch， sent to   38   its magic on me， I wondered. Then it   39   into the wall. How I fell asleep again is still a   40   to me. What do you make of it all？ You know I was never superstitious but now I'm not sure.

A few months earlier I had been painting two portraits for each of my parents．I'd planned to give them the portraits as Christmas gifts．This would be a   36   for everyone，as I had not studied  37  ．

While painting one day, I was surprised by a knock on the door. Quickly having put all my  38 materials out of sight, I opened the   39  . To my astonishment, my father came in .

Immediately I wanted to show him the paintings, but I was   40  to destroy his Christmas surprise. Yet something  41  me to share the gifts with him. After making him promise to keep it secret, I   42   he keep his eyes closed until I had the portraits set on easels(画架). “Okay, Daddy. Now you can   43  !”

He appeared dazed at first. Finally , he said, “I don’t believe it. The eyes are so  44 that they follow you everywhere—and look how   45   your mother is. Will you let me have them  46 ?”

Excited with his response, I happily volunteered to   47  them to the frame shop the next day. Several weeks passed. Then one night the   48   rang—my father had a stroke(中风). He died the next day, and it seemed all   49    escaped from the life of my mother and me .

I finally remembered to  50   about the framed portraits. I was surprised when the shopkeeper told me my father had visited the shop,   51 for the framing and had them gift-wrapped.

As I looked into my mother’s sad eyes and unsmiling face, I decided to give her Daddy’s and my   54  . After she saw it, with a wide smile, she quickly said, “I knew Daddy would be with us on Christmas Day!”

I glanced at the gift card written in my father’s   55 . “ Mother—Our daughter reminded me why I am so blessed. I’ll be always looking at you.—Daddy.”
