A beautiful and very successful actress was the star for a new musical show. Her home was in the country, but she didn't want to go back there every night, so she bought an expensive house in the center of the city, got some beautiful furniture and got a man to paint the rooms in new colors.
It was very difficult to get tickets for her show in the evening, because everybody wanted to see her. So she decided to give the painter two of the best seats. She hoped that this would make him work better for her. He took the tickets without saying anything, and she heard no more about them until the end of the month, when she got the painter's bill. At the bottom of it were these words
:“Four hours watching Miss Hall sing and dance:3 pounds,”with the note:“Before 5 pm. I get 10 shillings an hour and after 5 pm. 15 shillings.”(1)
We can learn from the passage that one pound is 15 shillings.( )

The word“them”refers to the new musical show.( )
(3)
From the passage we know that the man knew little about music and dance.( )

At the end of the month, the actress got the painter's bill to ask for money of his painting work only.( )

The actress bought a house in the center of the city because her home was far away.( )
