     Working vacations are a popular way to see the world and a good way to make some money along
the way. Bill Tylera reporter, talked with Jenny, who just came back from a working vacation in Australia.
     Bill: So how was your trip?
     Jenny: It was fantastic (奇异的) ! The place I went to--Mildura, in Victoria State is known as the
gateway to the outback(内地). I was working at a vineyard(葡萄园) there, as a picker during the grape
harvest. Most of the dried fruits in Australia like raisins (葡萄干) and so on, come from Mildura.
     Bill: Was it hard work?
     Jenny: Mm, yes, it was tiring and it got very boring sometimes. You have to spend around eight hours
a day filling up buckets(桶) with grapes.And it's a six-day week, usually with Saturday off.But the good
thing is that you're working outdoors all the time. And you also get to make something really nice from all
over the world.
     Bill: So, do you have any suggestions for people who want to give it a try?
     Jenny: Well, I'd suggest you only do it if you're quite healthy, and if you don't mind hot weather.
Temperatures in Mildura can reach 25℃ sometimes, so you'll certainly need a sun hat. And don't forget
a water bottle--it's thirsty work!

1. If you like a working vacation you can not only travel, but also make some ______.
2. Jenny thinks her trip in Mildura is______.
3. It's really boring and ______ sometimes as a picker in the vineyard.
4. You should be very ______ if you want to try the work.
5. You should bring a sun hat and a water ______ because of the weather.

this terribly low temperature, he had made good progress across the ice. Suddenly, ithe ice was broken
and one of his sledges fell into the sea. Jeff needed to get it back, so he hadto put his hand into the
ice-covered water.
     Once he had got the sledge back, Jeff put up his tent, lit a fire and tried to warm up hiscold hand. It
was no help--his hand was seriously hurt as it had been in the cold for so long.He radioed for help, and
an airplane was sent to save him. Finally, he arrived at a hospital inCanada. The doctors there said he

growth.

       The cars! No one walks anymore; almost everyone drives. We used to walk to school, walked to
factories, walked to parks, even in winter.  But now we don't. We drive everywhere. We drive all the time. It is bad for our health. And the air of the car pollutes our sky.
       3. We are too busy.
       Mother is busy now. In the old days, mother often stayed at home, cooking the dinner for the children and taking care of the children.  But now they have to work all day.  Father is busier than mother.
