In 1978, I became the first female lineman in Columbus, Georgia. I really enjoyed the work, and most of the men accepted me because I worked hard at it. I think that at first, they didn't think I could do it. But I got right in there and proved myself.
I was a lineman for about three years. Then l went on to work at other outdoor jobs at the company before l retired in 1997.
I decided to become a lineman because I wanted to work outdoors. I was a tomboy (假小子) as a child and even built my own tree house, so you could say I had a little experience. My husband, William, encouraged me to give the job a try. After work, I liked to drive around town and show him the wires I'd spliced (加固) that day.
People were surprised to see a female lineman. They'd say, “Look, that's a woman up that pole." One day I heard a man say, “Oh, look, there's a telephone man-woman!" Safety belts and hooks minimized the risk of falling, but concentration was essential. Sometimes I felt a little nervous, but the guys told me I was less likely to fall if I wasn't too confident. It helped that I was strong, because the cables and equipment are heavy. I'm not sure every woman could've done what I did. 1 took a lot of pride in it.

【知识点】 职业内容
It’s not often you get information about a destination from a heavy metal band, but in Debrecen, Hungary’s second largest city, locals are used to having to make a noise to get heard.
Just off the historic center, Roncs bar is a pub that also hosts live music. It has the atmosphere of a student party in an old building that might soon be knocked down.
Roncs is owned by Hungary’s best-known heavy metal rock band, Tankcsapda. Sometimes referred to as the “Hungarian Metallica”, the band has taken a type of music that is famous worldwide and-through lyrics, album covers, and an annual New Year’s party and concert-made it all about their home city.
It’s perhaps fitting that Tankcsapda should be seen as ambassadors for Debrecen — the city sometimes needs loud heavy metal rock music to get noticed. “Foreigners think that Hungary is Budapest and there’s nothing else,” is a familiar saying on Debrecen’s streets.
Debrecen has, at times, been more important than the current seat of power, with locals claiming it takes over in times of trouble.
That doesn’t quite add up.
Debrecen survived an attack from the Mongols in the 13th century, the Black Death, 150 years of struggle against the Ottomans and numerous conflicts, and yet it has still only briefly been the country’s capital twice. This happened for the first time after a short-lived revolution in 1849, and for a second time at the end of World War II.
Today, Debrecen may not be well known to tourists, but that only adds to the charm of this relaxed city. It’s a small place; the historical center is sized for strolling (散步) and regular cafe stops. There’s also a view of Debrecen’s mix of architectural styles, a result of the frequent large fires that back in the 19th century led the city’s students to form one of Europe’s first-ever fire brigades (消防队).
You can also see traditional weathercocks from the rooftops, featuring Islamic star and crescent moon symbols that once advertised to Ottoman invaders that the city preferred trading to fighting.
Trade meant that Debrecen’s skilled people became very successful and the city became famous for-among other things-fine foods, hats and clay pipes. In the early 19th century, 10 million clay pipes were reportedly made a year, with thousands bought for Britain’s navy.
8. What do Debrecen citizens expect Tankcsapda to do?A.Introduce heavy metal music to Hungary. |
B.Hold parties featuring live heavy metal music shows. |
C.Try to make Debrecen known with its music. |
D.Create a unique type of heavy metal music. |
A.Because they feel their city is too quiet and relaxed. |
B.Because they dislike it that the world only knows Budapest in Hungary. |
C.Because they think it helps create a powerful image of their city. |
D.Because all kinds of music bars bring their city alive. |
A.Styles. | B.Conditions. |
C.Atmosphere. | D.Climate. |
A.Debrecen actually is more important than Budapest. |
B.Debrecen is a place which is worth visiting. |
C.Debrecen citizens love music and create their unique culture. |
D.Debrecen citizens are proud of their culture and history. |
Look at Richard Pryor, need I say more? Richard seemed to have everything. For Superman m , he ended up getting more money than Christopher Reeve did. Yet he said while he was in his forties that the last truly happy moment he remembered in his life was when he was jumping around in the dirt while pretending to be a cowboy at the age of 10. This guy set himself on fire, and he played that for laugh while performing live at the Sunset Strip ! Comedy was his constant weapon against pain, and he never held anything back.
The movie Funny People understand very well this gloomy field many comedians have to survive in. It stars Adam Sandler as George Simmons, a famous comedian in the movie. Simmons has it all: a beautiful mansion overlooking the sea, a swimming pool,great cars, and so on. But in his eyes, we see that he is a sad man who has come to truly look down upon himself for what he has become. All the wealth he has collected only serves to separate him from the rest of the world and it makes him defensive when around total strangers who cannot see him as a normal person. But now, he hears from his doctor that he has a terminal disease and has only months left to live. Simmons reacts to this news as if someone took away his blood in the heart, and it makes him clearly see just how much he hates his life. So now he has to make every minute count.
Then come a series of funny stories.
