    My home is not far from there. Sometimes I can   3   hear the   4   bargaining with the tradesmen. But I have been there to go shopping only once. I wanted to buy a television set, since I am a   5   TV viewer. But I was not lucky at that time. The first tradesman I saw was selling cassettes and recorders, which were shining under the sun and   6   were quite reasonable. It was difficult not to be tempted．I   7   one of the cassettes closely. It   8   looked new and modern. On the box, the words "TDK, made in Japan" had been beautifully   9   . The man said that the cassette was worth $5, but as a special   10   he would let me have it for $3. I shook my head and  11  a finger showing that I was willing to pay one dollar and I would buy five. Signing to me wildly, the man acted as if he found my   12   outrageous (令人不能容忍), but finally reduced the price ___13___ $ 2．Lifting my shoulders slightly, I began to walk away. A moment ___14___, he ___15___ me and thrust five cassettes into my hands. Though he kept throwing up his arms in despair, he readily ___16___ the five- dollar note I gave him. I felt especially___17___ with my wonderful bargain-until I reached home. ___18___ hard I tried, it was ___19___ to get any one of them to move in a recorder and to this day they have never recorded a ___20___ word! I’ve never seen that man again!

    Of course he isn’t really   4   . With any luck he isn’t even hurt. Why?   5   the men who fall out of high windows or jump from fast - moving trains, who crash cars or even catch fire, are professionals. They do this for   6   These men are   7   “stuntmen” (特技演员). That is to   8   , they perform “tricks”.

    There are two   9   to their work. They actually do most of the things you see on the screen. For example, they fall   10    a high building. However, they do not fall on the hard ground   11   on to empty cardboard boxes covered with a mattress (垫子).   12   when they hit one another with chairs, the chairs are made of soft wood and when they crash through windows, the “glass” is made of sugar.

    Although their work depends on tricks of this sort, it also requires a   13  degree of skill and training. Often a   14   success depends on exact timing. For example, when he is “blown up” in a battle scene, he has to   15   out of the way of the explosion just at the right moment.

　　 Naturally stuntmen are   16   paid for their work, but they lead dangerous lives. They often get seriously hurt, and sometimes   17   A Norwegian stuntman, for example, skied over the edge of a cliff (悬崖) a thousand feet high. His parachute(降落伞)   18   to open, and he was killed.

　　 In spite of (不管) all the risks, this is   19   a profession for “men only”. Men no longer dress up   20   woman when actresses have to perform some dangerous action. Nowadays there are “stuntgirls” too !
