Chris Rankin played Percy Weasley in five of the Harry Potter movies, but he didn't have quite the same success as some of the younger actors. The 36-year-old man spoke out how hard he found acting jobs after the filming ended, so he decided to work in the popular pub(酒吧) chain in Monmouth, South Wales.
Chris said, “People know actors don't get paid a lot of money. There's not a lot of work and there are a lot of unemployed actors. I talked about it all the time that I worked in the pub for four or five months when I didn't have any other work. I needed a job and I had bills to pay.” After that, he has gone on to work behind the scenes(场景) in A Discovery of Witches, Downton Abbey and Atlantis.
At the same time, Harry Potter books are still lucky over twenty years after they were first published(出版). Earlier in December a businessman Mark Cavoto from the Midlands made ￡2,300 at auction(拍卖) with a first signed edition of Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets. He bought the first edition of the second book in the series on Amazon. The businessman owns around 1,500 books from the series after his daughter Holly began collecting them ten years ago.

A.Because he was tired of acting.

C.Because he wanted to get high pay.
D.Because the Harry Potter movies ended.

26.D　由第一段第二句“The 36-year-old man spoke out how hard he found acting jobs after the filming ended, so he decided to work in the popular pub chain in Monmouth, South Wales.”可知,当电影拍摄结束后,他找一份工作很难。因此,他决定到连锁酒吧求职。故选D。
27.D　由第二段中“People know actors don't get paid a lot of money. There's not a lot of work and there are a lot of unemployed actors.”可知,很多演员不能赚到很多钱,没有很多的工作可接,由此推断有许多“失业的”演员。
28.C　推理判断题。由第二段中“I talked about it all the time that I worked in the pub for four or five months when I didn't have any other work. I needed a job and I had bills to pay.”可知,他在酒吧工作了四五个月,因为自己需要一份工作并且还有账单要付。由此推断他是为了谋生才去酒吧工作的。
29.B　 由第二段最后一句“After that, he has gone on to work behind the scenes in A Discovery of Witches, Downton Abbey and Atlantis.”可知,之后,他继续在《发现女巫》、《唐顿庄园》和《亚特兰蒂斯》的幕后工作。
30.C　推理判断题。由第三段最后一句“The businessman owns around 1,500 books from the series after his daughter Holly began collecting them ten years ago.”可知,在他的女儿霍莉(Holly)十年前开始收藏该系列书籍后,这位商人拥有大约1500本,由此推测他喜欢《哈利·波特》系列丛书。
