I also think my work is important. There was a time when I thought I would never have that sort of career 职业 I wasn't an excellent student because I didn't do much schoolwork.In my final term I startedthinking what I might do and found I didn't have much to offer. I just accepted that I wasn't the type to have a career.I then found myself a job, looking after two little girls. It wasn't too bad at first. But the problemsbegan when I agreed to live in, so that I would be there if my boss had to go out for business in the evening. We agreed that if I had to work extra hours one week, she'd give me time off the next.But unfortunately, it didn't often work out. I was getting extremely tired and fed up, because I had too many late nights and early mornings with the children.One Sunday, I was in the park with the children, and met Megan who used to go to school with me.I told her about my situation. She suggested that I should do a course and get a qualification 资格证书 if I wanted to work with children. I didn't think I would be accepted because I didn't takemany exams in school. She persuaded me to phone the local college and they were really helpful. My experience counted for a lot and I got on a parttime course. I had to leave my job with the family, and got work helping out at a kindergarten.Now I've got a fulltime job there. I shall always be thankful to Megan. I wish I had known earlier that you could have a career, even if you aren't top of the class at school.36. What is the author's present job. A Working parttime in a college.

B Qualifications are necessary for a career.C Hard work makes an excellent student.D One must choose the job he or she likes.BIn the course of working my way through school, I took many jobs I would rather forget. But none of these jobs was as dreadful as my job in an apple plant. The work was hard; the pay was poor; and, most of all, the working conditions were terrible.First of all, the job made huge demands on my strength. For ten hours a night, I took boxes that rolled down a metal track and piled them onto a truck. Each box contained twelve heavy bottles of apple juice. I once figured out that Iwas lifting an average of twelve tons of apple juice every night. X k B 1 . c o mI would not have minded the difficulty of the work so much if the pay had not been so poor. I waspaid the lowest wage of that time two dollars an hour. Because of the low pay, I felt eager to get as much as possible. I usually worked twelve hours a night but did not take home much more than$100 a week.But even more than the low pay, what made me unhappy was the workingconditions. During work I was limited to two tenminute breaks and an unpaid half hour for lunch. Most of my timewas spent outside loading trucks with those heavy boxes in nearzerodegree temperatures. The steel floors of the trucks were like ice, which made my feet feel like stone. And after the production line shut down at night and most people left, I had to spend two hours alone cleaning the floor.I stayed on the job for five months, all the while hating the difficulty of the work, the poor money, and the conditions under which I worked. By the time I left, I was determined never to go back there again.40. Why did the writer have to take many jobs at that time.A To pay for his schooling.B. To save for his future.C. To support his family.D. To gain some experience.41. The following facts describe the terrible working conditions of the plant EXCEPT.

What is the subject discussed in the text. A The writer's unhappy school life.B The writer's eagerness to earn money.C The writer's experience as a fulltime worker. D The writer's hard work in an apple plant.43. How is the text organized.A Topic Argument Explanation. B Opinion Discussion Description.C Main idea Comparison Supporting examples. D Introduction Supporting examples Conclusion.CI had my first job at the age of thirteen, when a friend of my mother who owned a bookshop hired me for six hours a week to help her in the shop. I was very proud to earn my own pocket money and my parents never interfered with how I spent it, even when I was spending it foolishly. Theybelieved that by earning money, spending it, and learning from the mistakes, I would become more mature and responsible about how to handle work, relationships with others, and money.Like many American parents, my parents also let me and my brothers do things over which they worried a great deal. When I was sixteen, for example, after I finished high school and before I entered university, I wanted to spend the summer months traveling around Europe. My mother was against the idea of my traveling alone at such a young age, but my father felt that it would bea great experience for me. In the end, my father won the argument on condition that I limited my traveling to France, mymother's home, where I had many uncles, aunts and cousins spread out through the country who could provide shelter and help if I needed them.Three years later, my younger brother decided to take a year off after his first year in univeristy and travel through the United States and the Caribbean.Again my mother was very worried andnot eager to see my brother leave school, but my father encouraged him and my brother had afascinating year working his way on trains and ships to earn passage to different ports and cities, and discovering many fascinating places and people.These kinds of experiences are probably rare for children in many countries but in the US they are fairlycommon. Most parents start pushing their children at a young age to do small things by themselves. By the timethey have finished high school, many American kids have already had parttime jobs, traveled around the US or other countries on their own, have selected the university they plan to attend and maybe even decided on their future career, and so on.44. The writer's parents allowed their kids to travel so that.A it could make the kids become braver B the kids could earn some pocket moneyC the kids could find jobs more easily D it could bring good to the kids' future45. The writer thinks.A his brother gained valuable experiences during the travel B his brother earned a lot of money by workingC his brother didn't disappoint his father可编辑资料 - - - 欢迎下载精品_精品资料_D his brother's travel was better than his to France46. The text is mainly about the writer and his brother's stories to. A do some parttime jobsB become independentC travel for experiences D earn pocket money47. What can we infer from Paragraph 1.A The author earned a lot of money when he was young. B The author was responsible for what he did.C The author's mother recommended him to work in the bookshop. D The author was able to manage his money well as a child.DMargaret, married with two small children, has been working for the last seven years as a night cleaner, cleaning offices in a big building.She trained as a nurse, but had to give it up when her elder child became seriously ill.“ I wouldhave liked to go back to it, but the shifts工作班次 are all wrong for me, as I have to be home to get the children up and off to school.”So she works as a cleaner instead, from 9 pm. till 6 a m. five nights a week for just 90, before tax and insurance. “ It'sbetter than it was last year, but I still think that people who work unsocial hours should get a bit extra.”The hours she's chosen to work meant that she sees plenty of the children, but very little of her husband. However, she doesn't think that puts any pressure on their relationship.Her work i sn't physicallyvery hard, but it's not exactly pleasant, either. “ Ido get angry withpeople who leave their offices like a place for raising pigs. If they realized people like me have to do it, perhaps they'd be a bit more careful.”The fact that she's working all night doesn't worry Margaret at all. Unlike some dark buildings atnight, the building where she works is fully lit, and the women work in groups of three.“ Since I've got to be here, I try to enjoy myself and I usually do, because of the other girls. We all have a good laugh, so the time never drags.”Another challenge Margaret has to face is the reaction of other people when she tells them whatshe does for a living. “ Theythink you're a cleaner because you don't know how to read and write , ”said Margaret. “ I used to think what my parents would say if they knew what_I'd_been_doing,_but I don't think that way any more. I don't dislike the work though I can'tsay I'm mad about it.”48. Margaret quit her job as a nurse because A she wanted to earn more money to support her family B she had suffered a lot of mental pressureC she needed the right time to look after her children D she felt tire
