Dear Sir/Madam,

2 . For new students at Binghamton University, the first few weeks can be an exciting time. Their focus is largely on finding a sense of community. For Antoinette “Toni” Stefanakos, now a senior majoring in (主修) marketing, her sense of belonging (归属感) started with a flyer from Off Campus College Transport (OCCT).
“One day I was leaving the classroom and there was a flyer advertising (征聘) for student drivers,” Stefanakos said. “I had no idea that the buses on campus were run by students. So I called my dad, and said, ‘I’m going to be a bus driver.’”
OCCT is Binghamton University’s student-run bus service. The blue buses are a hallmark of the campus, and they are all driven in the lane (车道) by students.
“I interviewed, and it went really well,” Stefanakos said.
Stefanakos’s interest in public transportation continued to grow after she saw a job flyer for Transportation and Parking Services (TAPS). “I knew that TAPS was advertising for a marketing student,” she said. “And I thought that was great for me as a marketing major and someone who works with buses.”
Stefanakos began working with TAPS. Because of this job, Stefanakos found a new path. Now, she deals with public relations and trains new drivers for OCCT. “I can share my knowledge and experience as someone who is a driver,” she said.
The people make the job all the more worthwhile for Stefanakos. “One day, a passenger came up to me and told me I was her driver every Tuesday morning. And she told me that every time she was on my bus, she knew it was going to be a good day. I didn’t even realize that a simple ‘good morning’ could make someone’s day like that,” she said.
Stefanakos will surely miss the blue buses when she graduates, but she’ll always have unforgettable memories (回忆) to look back on.

3 . You may think that work can never be fun. But some jobs are interesting and even lucrative(赚钱的). The Balance Careers created a list of top 15 interesting jobs in the world. We picked out four of them.
Caretaker of Hamilton Island
What is the best job in the world? It is being a caretaker of an Australian tropical island—a job that includes a salary of ￡69, 000 and involves little more than lazing in the sun, snorkeling(浮潜)and writing a weekly blog about life on the Internet.
NASA Sleep Tester
NASA is looking for volunteers who will be paid a total of around $18, 000 to lie in bed for 70 days. Sleep tester can play games, read books and chat with friends online, just as long as they don’t get out of bed before the test ends. The results of these tests are used to help astronauts maintain their health while in space.
Electrician at the South Pole
The British Antarctic Survey once posted an ad calling for plumbers, carpenters and chefs to work on the coldest continent on Earth. Those who were selected received starting salaries of ￡23, 000, while travel expenses, food and winter clothing were provided free of charge.
Professional Cuddler

6 . It feels like every time my mother and I start to have a conversation, it turns into an argument. We talk about something as simple as dinner plans and suddenly my mother will push the conversation into the Third World War. She’ll talk about my lack of bright future because I don’t plan to be a doctor. And much to her disappointment, I don’t want to do any job related to science, either. In fact, when I was pushed to say that I planned to major in English, she nearly had a heart attack.
“Why can’t you be like my co-worker’s son?” she shouts all the time. Her co-worker’s son received a four-year scholarship and is now earning 70,000 dollars a year as an engineer. I don’t know what to say except that I simply can’t be like Mr. Perfect as I’ve called the unnamed co-worker’s son. I can’t be like him. I am the type of the person who loves to help out in the community, write until the sun goes down, and most of all, wants to achieve something because of loving it, not because of fame or salary.
I understand why my mother is worried about my future major. I’ve seen my mother struggle (艰难) to raise me on her small salary and work long hours. She leaves the house around 6:30 am and usually comes back home around 5:00 pm or even 6:00 pm.
However, I want her to know that by becoming a doctor, it doesn’t mean I’ll be successful. I’d rather follow my dreams and create my own future.

Appreciation of Hard Work
A young man applied for a managerial position in a big company. In the last interview, the director of the company found that the young man was excellent all the way, from the secondary school until the postgraduate research.
The director asked, “Did you obtain any scholarships in school?”
The youth answered, “None.”
The director asked, “Was it your father who paid for your school fees?”
The youth answered, “My father passed away when I was one year old. It was my mother who paid for my school fees.”
The director asked, “Where did your mother work?”
The youth answered, “My mother worked as a clothes cleaner.”
The director asked the youth to show his hands. The youth showed his smooth hands.
The director asked, “Have you ever helped your mother wash the clothes before?”
The youth answered, “Never, my mother always asked me to study and read more books. Besides, my mother can wash clothes faster than me.”
The director said, “I have a request. When you go back today, clean your mother’s hands and then see me tomorrow morning.”
When he went back, he happily asked his mother to let him clean her hands. His mother felt strange but happy. The youth cleaned his mother’s hands slowly. His tears fell as he did that. It was the first time he noticed that his mother’s hands were so wrinkled, and there were so many bruises in her hands. Some bruises were so painful that his mother shivered when they were cleaned with water. After finishing the cleaning of his mother’s hands, the youth quietly washed all the remaining clothes for his mother.
注意：1. 续写词数应为150左右；

The next morning, the young man went to the director’s office.
