Dear John,
I'm sorry you didn't get the part you tried out for in that play. I know how much you wanted to be in the play. Now you feel that maybe acting isn't the right future for you. I think you're wrong. You're a good actor. Do you remember when you played Caesar in your summer theatre group's play? You were excellent . People clapped(鼓掌)every time you walked on stage（舞台). Even the other actors loved you.
All actors have to get used to being turned down for a job. It's part of an actor's life. Even famous actors don't get every part they want. I think you should give acting another chance. You love it so much, and you're good at it. Don't be discouraged because you lose one part in the play. Wait a bit, and try for another one. After all , you can always give up some other time.
Love,
Jane

试题分析：本文是一封书信，约翰没有得到自己一直努力尝试希望得到的戏剧角色，对自己产生了消极的怀疑。因此简给约翰写了这封信，告诉他要积极面对生活中的失败，鼓励他继续在自己的表演道路上努力奋斗，不能轻言放弃。
【小题1】概括归纳题。这封信是简为了鼓励约翰继续自己的表演而写的，告诉他一次的失败并不能否定他的才能，不能轻言放弃。故选B。
【小题2】细节理解题。信中第二段提到“All actors have to get used to being turned down for a job. It's part of an actor's life. Even famous actors don't get every part they want.”所有的演员都必须习惯被拒绝。这是演员一生中的必修课。即使是最著名的演员也不是能够得到多有他们想要的角色。答案为C。
【小题3】推断分析题。信中第一段就简就明确表示“You're a good actor.”简认为约翰是一位优秀的演员。接下来几句提到了约翰今年夏天成功的戏剧表演，以及大家对他的肯定与赞赏，可以看出简认为他一定能在表演事业上获得成功。故选A。
【小题4】推断分析题。整封书信无处不表现出简对约翰的关心，她希望约翰能重拾对表演的信心，不轻言放弃，可以看出她是个十分关心约翰的人。答案为B。
