听力原文: Well, to answer your question, I knew I wanted to be an actor since I was just a little boy. I started performing in plays when I was just 6 years old. I did a few productions at my local theater and later moved onto commercials. Doing the shows was really fun, but going to auditions was terrible. I always felt really bad when I didn't get picked, and I didn't like the rejection, but that's just part of what comes with being an actor. It's all worth it when you get a part that's really satisfying, like when I got a part in my first Broadway musical when I was 16. Up until now I have been in 13 films, 4 musicals, and at least 30 plays. My favorite will always be the stage, but I enjoy other things as well. I really just enjoy all areas of entertainment.
What is the speaker's occupation?
A.A singer
B.An actor
C.A producer
D.An announcer

At age 22, he runs away from home and become an actor. An actor does not make much money, so Isaac also learns to be a mechanic. When he needs money, he works as a mechanic.
Now it is 1851. Singer is working as a mechanic in Boston. Someone tells him he can make a lot of money if he can make a good sewing machine. Singer needs money. There are already several kinds of sewing machines. But none of them work well. In eleven days, Singer makes the first sewing machine that really works.
Singer and two other people stag the I. M. Singer Company. They make sewing machines. Soon everyone wants to buy one. The singer Company uses a great new idea to sell its machines. People do not have to pay all the money at one time. They can pay a little money every month or every week.
The sewing machine changes life in the United States. Woman do not have to sew clothes for the family. For the first time, people can buy ready-made clothes and shoes.
Isaac Singer became a very, very wealthy man. He stops work and retires. He builds a house with 115 rooms in England. When he dies, his 24 children fight over his money.

Leigh was named best director, beating "The Aviator" director Martin Scorcese. Scorcese's film——which has 11 nominations for the Feb. 27 Academy Awards——had led the field with 14 nominations. But members of the British Academy of Film and Television Arts scattered the prizes widely. While Scorcese and "Aviator" star Leonardo DiCaprio went home empty-handed, the film won a best supporting actress award for Cate Blanchett, as well as prizes for production design and best hair and makeup.
Imelda Staunton won best actress for her wrenching performance as a 1950s Cockney house-wife who performs illegal abortions in "Vera Drake." The film also took the costume design prize. Jamie Foxx was named best actor for his uncanny depiction of singer Ray Charles in "Ray"; the film also won the award for best sound. British star Clive Owen was named best supporting actor for "Closer."
The British awards, known as BAFTAs, have become an essential pre-Oscars stop since they were moved in 2000 from April to a February date, preceding the Academy Awards. A clutch of Hollywood stars--including DiCaprio, Keanu Reeves, Richard Gere, Goldie Hawn, Kurt Russell and model Claudia Schiffer--braved the rain and cold to walk up the red carpet in London's Leicester Square, watched by hundreds of movie fans.
The Che Guevara road movie "The Motorcycle Diaries" won two awards--best foreign-lan-guage fill and best music. Another double winner was fractured romantic comedy "Eternal Sun-shine of the Spotless Mind," which took BAFTAs for editing and for Charlie Kaufman's tricksy original screenplay. The prize for best adapted screenplay went to Alexander Payne and Jim Taylor for the wine-tasting comedy "Sideways."
"My Summer of Love," Pawel Pawliowski's bittersweet tale of romance between two teenage girls, was named best British film. Writer/director Amma Asante won the award for achievement on a first British feature for "A Way of Life." The short film award went to Kelly Broad and Hattie Dalton for "The Banker," while Andrew Gregory and Sejong Park took the short animation prize for "Birthday Boy."
The awards--officially the Orange British Academy Film Awards--are sponsored by mobile phone company Orange.

Five films are nominated(提名)for best motion picture. They are "Brokeback Mountain," "Good Night, and Good Luck," "Crash," "Capote" and "Munich." The directors of these movies were also nominated for best director.
These five films are different from the ones that are often nominated for best picture. They are all realistic films for adults that deal with serious political or social issues.

"Brokeback Mountain" received 8 nominations, the most of any movie this year. They include best director for Aug Lee and nominations for two actors and one actress in the film. "Brokeback Mountain" is the story of two young cowboys in the western state of Wyoming. They fall in love during the 1960s. They marry young women and have children. But the two men continue their secret relationship for 20 years.
Two of the other films received 6 nominations each. "Good Night, and Good Luck" is about the television newsman Edward R. Murrow in the 1950s. His broadcasts opposed the powerful Senator. Joseph McCarthy. George Clooney directed "Good Night, and Good Luck." He also wrote the screenplay with Grant Heslov. And Clooney acts in the movie. Clooney was also nominated as best actor in a supporting role in another movie, "Syriana." He plays a secret United States government agent in the Middle East.
The film "Crash" also received 6 nominations. Paul Haggis wrote and directed the movie. "Crash" is about racial tensions among a group of people in Los Angeles. These strangers meet during 36 hours and are involved in car crashes and crimes.
Bennett Miller directed "Capote," another nominee for best picture. It is a true story about the writer Truman Capote. It tells about his relationship with two men sentenced to be executed for killing a family in a small town in Kansas. Capote wrote about the killings in his famous book, "In Cold Blood."
The last nominee for best picture is "Munich," directed by Steven Spielberg. It is also based on true events. "Munich" deals with the killing of 11 Israeli athletes and coaches by Palestinian terrorists. That happened at the Olympic Games in Munich, Germany, in 1972.
