【解析】

试题分析：这篇短文是作者对自己的工作的自述。第一段中的作者是一个小丑，他去医院里帮助生病的孩子们；第二段中的作者是一个瑜伽老师，他让人们通过笑来保持身体的健康。两个作者都非常喜欢自己的工作。

1.细节理解题。根据第一段短文中I’ve been working as a professional clown(小丑）for nearly two years. Before that, I was an actor for nine years.和第二段短文中Before that, I was a dentist可知，两段材料中的作者都换了工作。故选A。

2.细节理解题。根据第一段短文中I changed jobs because I wanted to do more in life than make people laugh. What if I could help people, too?可知，作者说他换了工作，是因为他想在生活中做更多的事情，来让人们笑，去帮助人们。故选D。

3.细节理解题。根据第二段短文中Sometimes I worked with famous people. It’s true that being rich can be stressful! Some famous people can be unpleasant at times可知，有时候作者会和一些名人一起工作，他们都很有压力，有的时候，名人也不开心。故选B。

4.词义猜测题。根据划线的单词所在的句子My job was very difficult and I used to feel fed up可知作者说他的工作很难，他过去经常感到厌烦。interested 感兴趣的；satisfied 感到满意的；disappointed 感到失望的；bored感到厌烦的。根据作者说的difficult，我们可以推测划线的短语的意思应该是感到厌烦的。故选D。

5.推理判断题。根据第一段短文中I try to encourage sick children in hospital to laugh and smile.以及第二段短文中Everyone has fun in a laughter yoga class…But did you know that isn’t an excellent kind of exercise? You move your whole body when you laugh可知，这两个作者的工作都使人们开心，健康。故选D。
