Agnes Miller was one of the earliest leaders of the Women’s Liberation Movement in the United States. She was born on a farm in Missouri in 1892. Strangely enough she had a very happy life as a child. She was the only daughter and the youngest child of five. Her parents and her brothers always treated her as their favorite.
In 1896 the family moved to Chicago. Three years later they moved back to St. Louis where Agnes spent the rest of her childhood. She enjoyed her years in school and was an excellent student of mathematics. She also was quite skillful as a painter.
It was when Agnes went off to college that she first learned that women were not treated as equals. She didn’t like being treated unequally but she tried not to notice it. After graduating from college she tried to get a job in her major field—physics. She soon found it was almost impossible for a woman.
Agnes spent a full year looking for a job. Finally she gave up in anger. She began writing letters of anger to various newspapers. An editor in New York liked her ideas very much. He specially liked her style. He asked her to do a series of stories on the difficulties that women had in finding a job. And there she began her great fight for equal rights for women.

“There’s going to be one less boy in the room!” The words rang in my ears as the criminal(罪犯) pointed his gun against my head. The floodgates opened and tears ran down my face. No one in the courtroom(法庭) moved. Everyone was held silent with fear. A few seconds passed and the criminal put down his gun, turning his back on me.
“Cut!” the director shouted with joy. One take! We had done the scene in just one take. Then all the people who acted in the film went off for lunch.
I got my food and joined them, and the criminal, who had moments before been so scary, took his seat beside me and told us many funny jokes. A table of adults surrounded me, but I was never uncomfortable talking with strangers. I worked with these people and they worked with me. We talked, we laughed, we got to know each other and sometimes we became friends. At the end of the day we all went our separate ways, but we had been drawn close by working together to make this play.
After the show was broadcast, my friends asked if I had been scared of the criminal. At first this sounded funny. He was, after all, a kind and intelligent man. Then I realized that they didn’t see that side of him. Television and films are about creating an alternate(交替的) life that appears real even if for a while. We had been successful in doing that. Even my friends, who knew the real me, were drawn in the make-believe world of our story.
Acting has helped me to feel comfortable in my own skin and in communicating with others. I feel relaxed during interviews and when leadership opportunities come. Change is not threatening(威脅) to me, and I am grateful for the chance to learn and to grow in knowledge and experience in my life.
小題1:
In the film, what was the manner of the author’s character when facing the criminal?
A．Brave and calm.B．Anxious and terrified.
C．Shy and quiet. D．Heroic and fearless.
小題2:
We know from the passage that the author       .
A．is a kind personB．has realized his dream to be an actor
C．has a gift for film actingD．has no experience in film acting
小題3:
When they had lunch, the author        .
A．was too afraid to sit beside the criminal
B．was unwilling to talk with the others
C．was laughing to tears by the criminal’s jokes
D．was comfortable communicating with others
小題4:
Why could the author understand his friends’ questions?
A．He had a close relationship with his friends.
B．The actors performed so well that the audience accepted the story as true.
C．He thought it was normal for the audience to question the actors.
D．He thought they didn’t understand the process of film acting.
小題5:
It can be inferred from the passage that       .
A．the author felt lucky to play in the film
B．it wasn’t the first time that the author had acted in films
C．the author’s friends encouraged him to act in films
D．the author had a successful career because of this film
