阅读下面短文 用完整句子回答 小题 并对 小题的陈述进行判断 小题 并对 小题的陈述进行判断 You are watching a film in 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 撞击 through a window and falls thirty feet to the ground below He is dead Of course he isn t really dead With any luck he isn t 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 of 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 用心 爱心 专心 4 sugar But although their work depends on tricks of this sort it also requires a high degree of skill and training Often a stuntman s 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 悬崖 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 stuntgirls too Please definedefine 给 下定
