【推荐1】Movie Extras

“Would you mind lying in a coffin? Would you shave your head? Are you willing to take out your false teeth?”

These are just a few of the questions Anne Marie Stewart and her staff sometimes ask the “talent” who serve as non-speaking “extras” in special films, television series, and made-for-TV movies produced in Toronto.

Of course, the majority of extra calls are for more ordinary people, and Stewart has a list of about 650 registered extras. Crowd scenes, which are common, call for everyday people of all ages, ethnic backgrounds, and sizes.

Over at Movie People, last-minute requests are not unusual. “We got a request once for an entire brass band of 30 people. They wanted it within the hour,” said manager Yvonne McCartney. Another time, the company got a last-minute request for a newborn baby. “We found a baby that was three weeks premature,” said Jonathan Aiken, an owner of the company.

Then there was the worried call from a casting director whose “Star” got doggone stubborn one day and decided to just lie down and not work. The director needed a replacement dog, fast. “We got them two in one hour.” said Aiken. “It was a matter of good connections and fast phone work.” The eight phone lines needed to make 350 to 400 calls a day are one of Movie People’s major expenses.

Phone lines are the only way to stay in touch with casting directors and extras; but the latter are a group not necessarily interested in a long-term relationship. Most extra jobs pay only $7 an hour (with a six-hour minimum), while most agencies charge an annual $75 registration fee and get 10 to 15 per cent of extras’ earnings. It’s no wonder that the turnover rate is fairly high.

Some people who are between jobs do extra work as a temporary measure, said McCartney. But professionals, such as lawyers, also do the work because it’s interesting. Others with flexible jobs have a desire to do something different. Some homemakers want to get out of the house and onto a movie set. Money’s not the motivating reason.

“One of the first things I say to people who walk in and ask about being an extra is, ‘You have to be available,’” said a person at Karen Clifton Agency. Inc. “The next thing I say is, ‘You can't make a living at this.’”

1. What kind of people are movie extras?
A.TV series makers.
B.Casting directors.
C.Non-professional movie actors.
D.Agents for movie stars.
2. According to the passage, movie extras should _____.
A.have special talents
B.have a flexible schedule
C.make good connections
D.make hundreds of phone calls daily
3. Why do white collar workers most probably like to be movie extras?
A.They want to make more money.
B.They want to start a career in acting.
C.They think their regular job is boring.
D.They think being on the stage is enjoyable.
4. The underlined word “turnover” in the sixth paragraph probably means _____.
A.business profit
B.the loss of staff
C.market demand
D.operation expenses

文章大意:本文是一篇应用文,文章介绍的是四个步骤可以帮助你找到真正让你满意的职业。

【推荐2】Do you ever stop to question whether or not you’re on the right career path? You might even be thinking, “How do I even know what the right career is?” If you’re feeling stuck, unsure, or confused, don’t worry.     1    

Take career assessments.

Take career personality tests that can help tell you what you should be. A career test should be valid and reliable. The test should actually measure what it claims to measure, and you should get consistent results over multiple tries.     2     Remember, a career assessment isn’t a shortcut (捷径); it’s a tool. It’s up to you how you use it.

Make a list of your options.

    3     Make a list of all your options, whether those are actual job opportunities, education, or career paths. Once you have everything written down, you can determine what isn’t exactly right, and narrow your goals. Then rank your options from best to worst.

Look for overlap (重叠).

What you’re good at, what companies need, and what you like to do might all be different, but it’s important to try to find the overlap between the three.     4     Rather than looking at job titles, consider your interests, hobbies, and skills, and then work out how those translate.

Ask a mentor (导师).

Never underestimate the value and power of a good mentor! There are many different types of mentors, from the kind you pay to the kind that has been there, done that, as well as the kind that can support you at work.     5    

Finding your dream career isn’t easy, and the path can be scary. But that doesn’t mean it’s not worth it!

A.That’s how you find your ideal career path.
B.Think about how much time you’ll spend at work.
C.You should know how to use the results to your advantage.
D.The more people you meet, the more insight you can get into how they enjoy the work.
E.Here are four steps you can take toward discovering the career that will truly satisfy you.
F.The right mentor, no matter what type, will give you guidance and help boost your career.
G.To find your dream career, you need to carefully sort through your options for the best route.
