which two men are having a fight.they hit one another hard.at the start they only fight with their fists.but soon they begin hitting one another over the heads with chairs.and so it goes on until one of the men crashes through a window and falls thirty feet to the ground below.he is dead!of course he isnt really dead.with any luck he isnt even hurt.why？because the men who fall out of high windows or jump from fast moving trains，who crash cars or even catch fire，are professionals.they do this for a living.these men are called stuntmen.that is to say，they perform tricks.there are two sides to their work.they actually do most of the things you see on the screen.for example，they fall from a high building.however，they do not fall on to hard ground but on to empty cardboard boxes covered with a mattress(床垫)again，when they hit one another with chairs，the chairs are made of soft wood and when they crash through windows，the glass is made of sugar!but although their work depends on trick of this sort，it also requires a high degree of skill and training.often a stuntmans success depends on careful timing.for example，when he is “blown up” in a battle scene，he has to jump out of the way of the explosion just at the right moment.naturally stuntmen are well paid for their work，but they lead dangerous lives.they often get seriously injured，and sometimes killed.a norwegian stuntman，for example，skied over the edge of a cliff a thousand feet high.his parachute(降落伞) failed to open，and he was killed.in spite of all the risks，this is no longer a profession for men only.men no longer dress up as women when actresses have to perform some dangerous action.for nowadays there are stuntwomen too.1 stuntmen are those who _.aoften dress up as actorsbprefer to lead dangerous livescoften perform seemingly dangerous actiondoften fight each other for their lives2 stuntmen earn their living by _.aplaying their dirty tricksbselling their special skillscjumping out of high windowsdjumping from fast moving trains3 which of the following is the main factor of a successful performance?astrength. bexactness.cspeed. dcarefulness.4 what can be inferred from the authors example of the norwegian stuntman?asometimes an accident can occur to a stuntman.bthe percentage of serious accidents is high.cparachutes must be of good quality.dthe cliff is too high.barthur miller (19152005) is universally recognized as one of the greatest dramatists of the 20th century.millers father had moved to the usa from austriahungary，drawn like so many others by the “great american dream”however，he experienced severe financial hardship when his family business was ruined in the great depression of the early 1930s.millers most famous play，death of a salesman，is a powerful attack on the american system，with its aggressive way of doing business and its insistence on money and social status as indicators of worth.in willy loman，the hero of the play，we see a man who has got into trouble with this system.willy is “burnt out” and in the cruel world of business there is no room for sentiment：if he cant do the work，then he is no good to his employer，the wagner company，and he must go.willy is painfully aware of this，and at a loss as to what to do with his lack of success.he refuses to face the fact that he has failed and kills himself in the end.when it was first staged in 1949，the play was greeted with enthusiastic reviews，and it won the tony award for best play，the new york drama critics circle award，and the pulitzer prize for drama.it was the first play to win all three of these major awards.miller died of heart failure at his home in roxbury，connecticut，on the evening of february 10,2005，the 56th anniversary of the first performance of death of a salesman on broadway.5 why did arthur millers father move to the usa?ahe suffered from severe hunger in his home country.bhe was attracted by the “great american dream”che hoped to make his son a dramatist.dhis family business failed.6 the play death of a salesman _.aexposes the cruelty of the american
