Angela Chang(張韶涵) didn’t know it would be so hard to turn singing into a career(失業(yè)). She went to many different record companies. But she was always turned down for looking too young and small.

“I’d never had such difficulties before,” Chang said. But Chang’s talent was finally accepted in 2002. When she got a piece of work, she cried.

She soon became a star. Her first album Over the Rainbow sold very well. She won many awards.

“You wouldn’t believe such a beautiful voice could come from such a small body,” said one musician after hearing Chang sing. “She has a special voice. You can’t forget it.”

But the 25-year-old girl has other talents too. Chang is also an actress. She has played a role in the popular TV plays, My MVP Valentine and At Dolphin Bay. Many people remember her common-girl parts in the plays. But acting is difficult. Chang once acted so badly that she was nearly fired(解雇). Another time it took her 27 tries to get a scene(一場(chǎng)戲) right.

“I cried when I got back home,” Chang said. “But I knew that I wouldn’t always fail. You only fail when you give up.”

Now with four albums behind her - Over the Rainbow, Aurora, Pandora and Flower in the Wonderland, it’s clear that Chang and music were made for each other. As she sings in one song, “I have a pair of invisible wings(隱形的翅膀). They fly me to the skies and give me hope.”

        A. 承認(rèn)                       B. 拒絕                       C. 開除                D. 雇用

3. Which of the following is NOT right?

       A. She won many awards for the album Over the Rainbow.

       B. She has made four films.

       C. One musician spoke highly of(贊揚(yáng)) her. 

D. She is not only a singer but an actress.

4. Although acting is difficult for her, she never gives up because ______________.

        A. she is strong-minded                                   

B. people like her films 

        C. she is interested in acting                             

D. she acted in the popular TV plays

5. Which do you think is the best title of the passage?

       A. The Small Girl.                                             B. Four Albums.

       C. I have a Pair of Invisible Wings.                      D. A Poor Actress.
