  While Bill was at the barber’s one day, the manager of the office came in by chance to have his own hair cut. Bill saw him and tried to hide his face, but the manager found him.

   “Hello, Jenkins,” the manager said, “ I see that you are having your hair cut in office time.”

   “Yes, sir, I am,” admitted Bill calmly, “You see, sir, it grows in office time.”

Successful films and TV programs make large amounts of money, and so do the performers who appear in them. A few big shows can make a rock musician a millionaire（百万富翁） in a very short time.

Men and women interested in high art are always being asked to give money to make future performance possible. Small government subsidies（津贴） have also helped to support the arts in the last few years.
