But the problems began 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

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 tol

20、d 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.

25、ok 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

26、 down a metal track and piled them onto a truck. Each box contained twelve heavy bottles of apple juice. I once figured out that I was lifting an average of twelve tons of apple juice every night. X k B 1 . c o m I would not have minded the difficulty of the work so much if the pay had not been so p

27、oor. I was paid 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 working conditions.

28、During work I was limited to two tenminute breaks and an unpaid half hour for lunch. Most of my time was 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

29、 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 agai

DIntroduction Supporting examples Conclusion. C I had my first job at the age of thirteen, when a friend of my mother

33、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. They believed that by earning money, spending it, and learning from the mistakes, I wou

34、ld 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

35、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 be a great experience for me. In the end, my father won the argument on condition that I limited my traveling to France,

36、 my mothers 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.

37、Again my mother was very worried and not eager to see my brother leave school, but my father encouraged him and my brother had a fascinating 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 expe

38、riences are probably rare for children in many countries but in the US they are fairly common. Most parents start pushing their children at a young age to do small things by themselves. By the time they have finished high school, many American kids have already had parttime jobs, traveled around the

39、 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 writers parents allowed their kids to travel so that _. Ait could make the kids become braver Bthe kids could earn some pocket money Cthe kids could

40、find jobs more easily Dit could bring good to the kids future 45 The writer thinks _.

41、rs travel was better than his to France 46 The text is mainly about the writer and his brothers stories to _. Ado some parttime jobs Bbecome independent Ctravel for experiences Dearn pocket money 47 What can we infer from Paragraph 1? AThe author earned a lot of money when he was young. BThe author

42、was responsible for what he did. CThe authors mother recommended him to work in the bookshop. DThe author was able to manage his money well as a child. D Margaret, married with two small children, has been working for the last seven years as a night cleaner, cleaning offices in a big building. She t

43、rained as a nurse, but had to give it up when her elder child became seriously ill. “ I would have 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 p m. till 6 a m. five nights

44、 a week for just 90, before tax and insurance. “ Its better than it was last year, but I still think that people who work unsocial hours should get a bit extra.”The hours shes chosen to work meant that she sees plenty of the children, but very little of her husband. However, she doesnt think that pu

45、ts any pressure on their relationship. Her work isnt physically very hard, but its not exactly pleasant, either. “ I do get angry with people who leave their offices like a place for raising pigs. If they realized people like me have to do it, perhaps theyd be a bit more careful.”The fact that shes

46、working all night doesnt worry Margaret at all. Unlike some dark buildings at night, the building where she works is fully lit, and the women work in groups of three. “ Since Ive 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

47、 never drags.”Another challenge Margaret has to face is the reaction of other people when she tells them what she does for a living. “ They think youre a cleaner because you dont know how to read and write ， ” said Margaret. “ I used to think what my parents would say if they knew what_Id_been_doing

48、,_but I dont think that way any more. I dont dislike the work though I cant say Im mad about it.”48 Margaret quit her job as a nurse because_ Ashe wanted to earn more money to support her family Bshe had suffered a lot of mental pressure Cshe needed the right time to look after her children Dshe fel
