【英语4级听力】大波浪卷发-Big Hair

Dorothy had very curly¹ hair. She hated it. "It's too big," she always complained. Dorothy wanted to be an actress. All the actresses she knew had straight hair. It always looked perfect and smooth. Every morning, Dorothy was up at 5:00 a.m. She spent two hours straightening her hair.

 

One morning, Dorothy had a big acting² audition³. She was running very late. There was no time to straighten her hair. "I'm never going to get the job with this hair," she thought. She was wrong.
