听力原文：M: Hello, everyone. We're talking about Stella Hampton, famous Hollywood actress.

Before the break, we were talking about your life, Stella, before you became a big star.

W: Yes... Oh, but do we have to？

M: Well, I think it's interesting. And I think our listeners will find it interesting, too. I mean, you didn't become a big star overnight. You struggled for many years.

W: You can say that again.

M: Tell us a little about it.

W: Oh, yes. I think I must have worked twenty or thirty different jobs.

M: Really？

W: Sure! I couldn't find work as an actress for many years, so I had to do something. You have to eat, right？

M: What kind of jobs did you have？

W: A little bit of everything: I worked as a waitress, in a department store, painting houses... I think I got fired from most of those stores.

M: Oh, yeah？ Come on, tell us a few stories.

W: This is so embarrassing... Well, I remember I worked for a big department store in the hats department. It was so boring. We never had any customers during the day, and that's when I worked. When I got sleepy, I used to lie down under the hat racks and take an occasional nap.

M: What happened？

W: Well, one day I got caught by my boss. And I got fired on the spot. Then there was the time I decided to paint house. It turned out that I was allergic to the paint. And my body was so sore after working the first day that I could hardly get out of the bed the next day. I couldn't take the physical work. I got fired again.

M: Any other war stories？

W: Well... you are not going to believe this, but I actually drove a taxi for a few days. I got hired as a cab driver.

M: No! You？

W: Yes. I was desperate and thought I could make good tips. I needed the money at the time. Unfortunately, it didn't lust.

M: Fired？

W: Yes. How did you guess？ On my third day, I hit a pole. No one was hurt in the accident —my passenger was fine — but it scared me to death. That was the end of my career as a driver.

M: Well, Stella, thank you for sharing those details with us. It's a good thing you made it as an actress! After the commercial break, we'll talk more with Stella about her new movie that's being released in September.
