4、As far back as he could remember,Larry had longed to go to Hollywood and become a film star．The young man's hopes for success were broken again and again,however．Hollywood just did not seem interested．When he first came to California Larry had decided never to give up and return home without success．Therefore,he kept on trying．Someday,he told himself,his big opportunity would come.
Larry found a job parking cars for one of Hollywood's big restaurants．His pay was basic,but since the guests were kind enough to give him more money,he managed to make a living.
One day he recognized an important film director driving into the parking lot and getting out of his car．Larry had recently heard that the man was ready to make a new picture.
Larry got into the car and prepared to drive it on into the lot and park it．Then he stopped,jumped out,and ran over to the director．"Excuse me,sir,but I think it's only fair to tell you that it's now or never if you want me in your next picture．A lot of big companies are after me."
Instead of pushing away the boy,the director got interested in Larry's words and stopped．"Yes?
Which companies?"he asked.
"Well,"replied the boy,"there's the telephone company,the gas company,and the electric company,to tell you only a few."
The director laughed,then wrote something on a card and handed it to the young man．"Come and see me tomorrow."
Larry got a small part in the director's next film．He was on his way!
Why did Larry find a job parking cars?

5、Scotland provides superb opportunities to enjoy wild and grand scenery which is even more impressive than the postcards suggest．It also offers towns and cities with a rich cultural life,a good mix of accommodation and places to eat and drink．Friendly and welcoming,it is an interesting and colorful all-season destination,where landscapes and the environment,sport and leisure pursuits,heritage and history,culture and cuisine are all part of a rewarding experience.
The best reason for choosing to go on holiday to Scotland is:one of the last places inside the crowded and frenetic European Union where it is possible to be alone isolated countryside．This is not to say that Scotland,like everywhere else,does not have its tourist traps,its crowded roads or its popular beauty spots．But it is relatively easy to escape from them.
It would be a mistake to think that Scotland is merely an extension of England.
Indeed,no attitude is capable of causing greater offence to the Scots．They successfully resisted English attempts at domination for seven hundred years,and many differences between the two countries persist.
Scotland's history,embodied in its castles,battlefields,and ancient links with France,Flanders and Scandinavia,is special.

8、We first think of the traditional or nuclear family．This is a two-generation family,the father and the mother and their own children．Most couples wanted to have four children,two boys,two girls.
Some nuclear families,however,may add one or more grandparents to come to live with them,that is three generations．This kind of family with grandparents,parents,and grandchildren is called an extended family．This family type was not very common during the later half of the twentieth century,but it's becoming more common now as an elderly grandparent moves in to live with a son or daughter．This is more possible now that American homes have become larger．What is interesting,however,is that after the grandchildren move out of the home and start their own families,this extended family shrinks back to a nuclear family,with just two generations again living together,a grandparent and parents,with the grandchildren coming only for occasional visits．
Now,the fatherless or motherless family is one kind of what we call a single-parent family．In the fatherless family it's just the mother and her children．As I said,this can be the result of the husband's death,of an unmarried mother,of a separation or divorce．There are also a growing number of motherless families--where the father raises the children,for any of the same reasons．A motherless family may also be fatherless,but still a family with one adult．This is becoming more common in the big cities where a grandmother will raise her daughter's children while the daughter goes elsewhere to work.
One other new kind of family is becoming increasingly more common．A single parent with one or more children will marry again．Perhaps the other parent is also a single parent．Together they will start what is called a blended family,which blends together or combines the children from two other families.
Who usually looks after the children in a both motherless and fatherless family in America?

9、There are many stereotypes about the character of people in various parts of the United States．In the Northeast and Midwest,people are said to be closed and private．In the South and West,however,they are often thought of as being more open and hospitable．Ask someone from St．Louis where the nearest sandwich shop is,and he or she will politely give you directions．A New Yorker might eye you at first and after deciding it is safe to talk to you,might give you a rather unexpected explanation．A person from Georgia might be very kind about directing you and even suggest some different places to eat．A Texan just might take you to the place and treat you to lunch.
American stereotypes are abundant．New Englanders are often thought of as being friendly and helpful．Southerners are known for their hospitality and warmth．People from the western part of the United States are often considered very outgoing．These differences in character can be traced to different factors such as climate,living conditions,and historical development.
When travelling from place to place,Americans themselves are often surprised at the differing degrees of friendliness in the United States.
The differences lie in the following except__of the parts.
