2 . My writing career began ten years ago with my articles published locally and nationally. As a beginner, I was happy to be on my way, writing and learning as much as I could. With two little kids underfoot, as well as working full-time, it was really difficult to make time for writing, but I managed.

Readers told me they laughed, cried or were inspired by my articles. But they didn’t know what was really going on behind the typewriter. I was not a happy mommy, and found it difficult to enjoy the little things in everyday life. In short, I was not a happy person.

I realized I had to make some changes. I started walking every morning. It cleared my head, allowed me time to think, gave me fresh air, and made me feel invigorated（精神焕发）and healthy. I was eating wisely, and the weight started to go. I started a new job, joined a monthly writing chapter, and was determined to keep up my walking. Finding the balance was something difficult. But I was determined to fit in writing because it made me happy. Surely I loved to watch the news and have my tea, but that wasn’t what made me truly happy.

My own happiness has shown through my family, my job performance and my attitude towards challenging situations. I again have readers telling me the effect my writing has had on them, with some able to get on with their own writing because of my articles.

It was up to me to make it happen —my own happiness. One step at a time and one word at a time. And I did it.

3 . I felt like I had clicked my heels three times and come to a country away from home every morning as I walked through the doors at the Embassy of Australia in Washington. Musical Aussie accents, and Aboriginal art exhibits made me wonder if I had entered without a visa. In fact I was a temporary employee, a public affairs unpaid intern(实习) for three months during the summer in order to engage myself in the culture of the country where I planned to study the next spring.

During the summer I read the Australian news every day. Working at the embassy allowed me to escape the U.S. for six hours per day and learn about what was going on across the planet. After reading the daily Australian and U.S. news I usually helped prepare a PowerPoint presentation for school kids who visited the embassy as part of a school activity. Depending on whether an embassy event was going on, I would attend weekly meetings to listen in on planning and see what I could do to help. Usually there were smaller tasks to be done such as creating visitors' guides.

The most fantastic event in which I participated was the visit of the Australian prime minister. As the only American among countless Australian media and staff, I felt comfortable and was kept busy taking pictures and recording door-stop interviews at famous sites such as the Capitol. But as an intern, you will not be inside, exposed to top-secret information, when it comes to special events.

Government work is a useful addition to one's experience. As an embassy employee you will gain invaluable knowledge while spending your summer in a culturally diverse workplace.

1. What is the author talking about?

A．Her embassy internship.	B．Her trouble in finding a job.
C．Her foreign culture experience.	D．Her preparation for future employment.

2. Why was the author in the Embassy of Australia for three months?

A．To apply for a visa.	B．To prepare to study in Australia.
C．To record musical Aussie accents.	D．To appreciate Aboriginal art exhibits.

3. What was the author forbidden to do when the Australian prime minister visited America?

A．Record door-stop interviews.	B．Know top-secret information.
C．Take pictures of special events.	D．Stand among the Australian staff.

4. What can we infer about her daily routine at the Embassy?

A．It is tiring.	B．It is boring.
C．It is exciting.	D．It is relaxing.

4 . I thought that I had great skills in     1    (deal) with kids, so I applied for a job to teach kids. The day of my interview was also my first day of work. My first mistake led to my first lesson. Don’t try to make     2    (friend) with managers, but be respectful. After going through some work with     3    

couple of kids I learned I was not as good as I thought I was, and it was     4    (good) to ask for help than do what you thought was right.
       A few days after work, feeling pressured to do a good job, I found repetition     5    (make) it more comfortable. It wasn’t long     6     I learned how to develop respectful relationships with my bosses and what tone of voice     7    (use) with kids. I started sounding more confident and realized that the more confident you sound, the more     8     seems that you know what you are doing.
       What surprised me most after a few months was how little money I had spent．Money from working long hours seemed to be more valuable to me than money     9    (give) by my parents. I kept it firmly in my hands and suddenly shopping was a     10    (total) different experience. The cost of items translated into how many hours I needed to work to pay for it.

7 .         I was ten when I first sat with my grandmother behind the cashier (收银台) in her general store.     1     I quickly learned the importance of treating customers politely and saying “thank you.”

At first I was paid in candy.     2     I worked every day after school, and during the summer and no weekends and holidays from 8 a.m. to 7 p.m. My father helped me set up a bank account.     3    

By the time I was 12, my grandmother thought I had done such a good job that she promoted me to selling cosmetics (化妆品). I developed the ability to look customers directly in the eye. Even though I was just a kid, women would ask me such things as “What color do you think I should wear?” I took a real interest in their questions and was able to translate what they wanted into makeup (化妆) ideas.     4    

The job taught me a valuable lesson: to be a successful salesperson, you didn’t need to be a rocket scientist—you needed to be a great listener.     5     Except they are no longer women purchasing cosmetics from me; instead, they are kids who tell me which toys they would like to see designed and developed.

A．Later I received 50 cents an hour.

B．Before long, she let me sit there by myself.

C．I ended up selling a record amount of cosmetics.

D．Today I still carry that lesson with me: I listen to customers.

E．My grandma’s trust taught me how to handle responsibility.

F．Soon I found myself looking more beautiful than ever before.

G．Watching my money grow was more rewarding than anything I could have bought.

9 . Part-time jobs for 15 and 16 years olds

Waiter / Waitress A job as a waiter or waitress is a good choice for 16-year-olds. Not only can one earn $9-$12 an hour, but they can also get the tips (小费). Most people that visit a restaurant don’t just have good food. They come here to relax and have a good time. Besides serving food quickly, a young waiter who talks to them politely with a smile on his face will make the diners enjoy their time at the restaurant.

Work in a library If one is fond of books, working in a library is another suitable choice. Besides the pay is good, it offers a lot of free time when students can actually sit down and finish their homework. So on returning home, they would have time to hang around with friends or just relax. So working in a library is an excellent part-time job for teens, especially for school students.

Internet jobs There are many ways of making money through online jobs like clicking on advertisements, visiting sites and signing up with them. However, such online jobs don’t pay well. A better Internet job for teens is to complete online surveys. These are quite simple surveys that usually ask one about his/ her opinions and ideas. Many companies use these ideas to make products designed for teenagers.

1. A student who is busy with his research paper will probably choose to work ______.

A．in a restaurant	B．in a library
C．on the Internet	D．in an IT company

2. The writer wrote this text to ______.
