16、 from the job. 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 wasnt an excellent student because I didnt do much schoolwork. In my final term I started thinking what I might do and found I didnt have much to offer. I just accepted that
17、 I wasnt the type to have a career.I then found myself a job, looking after two little girls. It wasnt too bad at first. 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 wee
18、k, shed give me time off the next. But unfortunately, it didnt 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
19、 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 didnt think I would be accepted because I didnt take many exams in school. She persuaded me to phone the local college and they were really helpful. My experience counted

But none of these jobs was as dreadful as my job in an
24、 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
25、 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 mI would not have minded the difficulty of the work so much if the pay had not been so poor. I was paid the lowest wage of that timetwo dollars an hour. Because of the low pay, I f
26、elt 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. During work I was limited to two tenminute breaks and an unpaid half hour for lunch. Most of m
27、y 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 shut down at night and most people left, I had to spend two hours alone cleaning the floor.I
28、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.

31、les.DIntroductionSupporting examplesConclusion.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 whe
32、n I was spending it foolishly. They believed 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 ove
33、r 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 be
34、 a great experience for me. In the end, my father won the argument on condition that I limited my traveling to France, 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
35、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 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 t
36、o 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 fairly common. Most parents start pushing their children at a young age to do small things by themselves
37、. By the time they 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.44The writers parents allowed their kids
38、to travel so that _.Ait could make the kids become braverBthe kids could earn some pocket moneyCthe kids could find jobs more easilyDit could bring good to the kids future45The writer thinks _.Ahis brother gained valuable experiences during the travelBhis brother earned a lot of money by workingChis
39、 brother didnt disappoint his fatherDhis brothers travel was better than his to France46The text is mainly about the writer and his brothers stories to _. Ado some parttime jobsBbecome independentCtravel for experiencesDearn pocket money47What can we infer from Paragraph 1?AThe author earned a lot o
40、f money when he was young.BThe author 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.DMargaret, married with two small children, has been working for the last seven years as a night cleaner, cleanin
41、g offices in a big building.She trained 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
42、 9 pm. till 6 am. five nights 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. Howev
43、er, she doesnt think that puts 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 ca
44、reful.”The fact that shes 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 myselfand I usually do, because of the other girls. We all have a
45、 good laugh, so the time 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 kne
46、w what_Id_been_doing,_but I dont think that way any more. I dont dislike the work though I cant say Im mad about it.”48Margaret quit her job as a nurse because_Ashe wanted to earn more money to support her familyBshe had suffered a lot of mental pressureCshe needed the right time to look after her c
47、hildrenDshe felt tired of taking care of patients49Margaret gets angry with people who work in the office because_.Athey never clean their officesBthey look down upon cleanersCthey never do their work carefullyDthey always make a mess in their offices50When at work, Margaret feels_.Alighthearted bec
48、ause of her fellow workersBhappy because the building is fully litCtired because of the heavy workloadDbored because time passed slowly51The underlined part in the last paragraph implies that Margarets parents would_.Ahelp care for her childrenBregret what they had saidCshow sympathy for herDfeel di
49、sappointed in herEImagine a worker who never gets tired. This employee needs no lunch hours or holidays. Working 24 hours a day in no problem. Best of all, he or she is both accurate and efficent. There are few mistakes and tasks are finished quickly. Any manufacturer would want a worker like this i
50、n a facotry. Many more products could be made and sold if workers never stopped. Thats why there are more and more robots at work today. Robots do a wide variety of tasks. They weld (焊接), drill, and paint new cars. They locate underwater pollution sites. Robots handle poisons. Most of their work is
51、too dangerous, difficult, or unpleasant for people to do. By doing the dirty work, a robot is a workers helper, or aide.Few robots look anything like people. They are machines. Like other pieces of machinery, they come in different shapes and sizes. The way they are built depends on the jobs they do
52、. Most have a single arm that can lift things. Most are built to handle tools.Each robot has a computer inside it. The computer tells it what to do. Skilled technicians enter directions into this computer. They are trained for this job.The years ahead may be the era (时代) of robots. People are using
53、them more and more. Already robots have explored (探索) active volcanoes and the ocean floor. Modern robots can maneuver in space. With their skillful movements, they can serve satellites that cannot be reached by humans. Some new uses will include havesting crops and working in open pit mines. Robots
54、 can help us to live better and learn more about our world.52What is mentioned in this passage is really _.Aa hardworking workerBa daydreamerCan advanced machineDa manufacturer53Robots can do everything accurately and efficiently because _.Athey have brainsBthere are computers in themCthey are techn
