【解析】

演戏是非常有趣的，在戏中，人们可以扮演其他人。演员分成两种，一种是职业演员，他们演戏是为了谋生；还有的人演戏只是为了娱乐。文章中还提到了美国的一个古老的戏剧团。

1.句意：他们尽力的在外貌和言谈上看起来像另外一个人。try尽力，是一个动词，这里使用的句型是try to do sth.尽力去做某事。根据文意可知，演员就是要让自己像他所扮演的那个角色，所以这里是尽力去做，故填try。

2.句意：他们通过表演来谋生。living是live的现在分词形式，这里make a living是固定短语，谋生。

3.句意：但是其他人表演话剧只是为了娱乐，并不会获得报酬。paid是pay的过去分词形式。上句话说到有的人表演只是为了娱乐，而不会像职业演员那样得到报酬来维持生活。这里是be paid被动语态的形式，故填过去分词。

4.句意：在白天，他们是学生、老师、医生、律师或者是警察。daytime或者day意思是白天，因为下句话说到了in the evenings or on weekends，所以这里是相对应的，应该是在白天，他们有自己的工作。

5.句意：他们只是在晚上或者是周末的时候才是演员。only只，仅仅。根据句意可知，很多人都是有自己的身份和职业的，他们只是在不上班或上学的时候才去当演员。这里用only来表示强调。

6.句意：最古老的一个团体是印第安纳。oldest最古老的，是最高级形式。因为上句话说到戏团有很长的历史，所以这里提到的是最古老的一个戏团。

7.句意：任何想要表演的人都可以加入Player Club。anyone或者anybody意思一样，都是任何人的意思，根据句意可知，想要表演的人都可以参加这个团体。注意第一个字母要大写。

8.句意：在每一场话剧之前，先举行试演为的是人们可以尝试不同的角色。out出去，这里和空前的try搭配起来，意思是尝试。

9.句意：人们也需要去帮助服装、灯光和化妆。help帮助，是一个动词。根据文意可知，团体里不是所有的人都是演员，还有为戏剧服务的其他人，如灯光、服装、化妆等。这里是句型help with sth.帮助做某事。

10.句意：他们继续表演话剧因为他们给人们带来快乐。pleasure快乐，乐趣，根据文意可知，人们都非常喜欢观看戏剧，这可以说明戏剧能给人们带来快乐，故填pleasure。
