Prison Break is a huge hit thanks to its handsome star，Wentworth Miller． His actor, Michael Scofield, is the engine that drives the show．

Michael Scofield is one of the most interesting personalities on television today．But what about the man behind the character?

Miller，35，is a hard guy to figure out．He does not come from a normal background and has never lived his life in a typical way．

Milier didn't take a direct path to fame and fortune．He graduated from Princeton University in 1995，not with a degree in theatre or film, but in English．He didn't even act when he was in college．His only performance experience was in his university's singing group．Yet, at graduation Miller still decided to make the move to Hollywood．

Miller has always been different．Although he is American, he was born in Britain when his father was studying there．His family background is also a special mix of cultures．“My father is black and my mother is white．That means I have always been caught in the middle．I could be either one, which can make you feel out of place，”Miller says．

Following his unusual path，Miller did not start trying out for films and TV shows when he first got to Hollywood．Instead, he worked as a lowly production assistant．Not what you would expect  from a Princeton graduate．However, it all paid of for Miller in the end．

In 2002，Miller played a role in the drama Dinotopia．He starred as a thoughtful and shy man．Producers remembered his performance when they were casting Prison Break two years later．With a golden globe nomination（提名） and another season of Prison Break on his resume（履历），Miller seems ready to take over all of Hollywood．

Let me tell you about five of the enemies we face from within．The first enemy that you’ve got to destroy before it destroys you is indifference．What a tragic disease this is! “Ho-hum，let it slide. I’ll just drift along．” Here’s one problem with drifting：you can’t drift your way to the top of the mountain．
The second enemy we face is indecision(优柔寡断). Indecision is the thief of opportunity and enterprise．It will steal your chances for a better future．Take a sword to this enemy．
The third enemy inside is doubt．Sure，there’s room for healthy skepticism．You can’t believe everything．But you also can’t let doubt take over．Many people doubt the past, doubt the future，doubt each other，doubt the government，doubt the possibilities and doubt the opportunities．              , they doubt themselves．I’m telling you，doubt will destroy your life and your chances of success．It will empty both your bank account and your heart．Doubt is all enemy．Get rid of it．
The fourth enemy within is worry．We’ve all got to worry some．Just don’t let it conquer you．Instead, let it alarm you．Worry can be useful．If you step off the curb (路边) in New York City and a taxi is coming，you’ve got to worry．But you can’t let worry loose like a mad dog that drives you into a small corner．Here’s what you’ve got to do with your worries：drive them into a small corner. Whatever is out to get you，you’ve got to get it．Whatever is pushing on you, you’ve got to push back．   
The fifth enemy is overcaution. It is the timid (胆小的) approach to life．Timidity is not a virtue；it’s an illness．If you let it go，it’ll conquer you．Timid people don’t get promoted．They don’t advance and grow and become powerful in the marketplace．You’ve got to avoid overcaution．       
【小题1】What’s the best title for this passage? (Within 8 words)
                                                                          .
【小题2】List three enemies inside that might prevent you from getting promoted．(Within 5 words)
                                                           .
【小题3】Fill in the blank in Paragraph 3 with proper words or phrases．(Within 5 words)
                                                                          .
【小题4】Which sentence in the text is the closest in meaning to the following one?
However，you shouldn’t be forced into a small room by the worry beyond control．
                                                                          .
【小题5】Translate the underlined sentence in Paragraph 4 into Chinese．
                                                                          .
