Every summer a great many students travel to other countries looking for work and adventure. Most of the 26 are in seasonal work, mainly connected with wourism and 27
The pay is usually poor, but most people work abroad for the 28 of travel. You can pick grapes on farms in France, entertain kids on American summer camps, and, of course, there are 29 jobs in hotels and restaurants.
But it is not easy now to find work. “ 30 you speak the language of the country well, there will be very few openings,” says Althea Ellis, an adviser in 31 for students.
“If you work with a family in Italy, you’ll have to speak Italian. When you wash dishes in a restaurant in Pairs, the owner will expect you to speak 32 . British students only have a language 33 for jobs in the USA and Australia.”
34 enjoys the experience. Sarah James was employed to help forty American children in Europe. The two teachers with the children had never been 35 .One child lost his passport; another became seriously ill and was 36 home; the whole group was thrown out of one hotel because of the 37 they made, and what’s worse, Sarah herself was robbed on her only 38 evening of the entire trip. “ I did visit a lot of new places,” she says,“ but it wasn’t worth it. The pay was 39 and it really was a 24-hour-a-day job. The kids never slept!”
“The troubles is, students expect to have a(n) 40 time of it.” Althea Ellis points out. “After all, they see it as a 41 .In practice, 42 ,you have to work hard. At the same time, all vacation work is casual (临时的) work. You’ll have a job when the hotel, the restaurant, or the campsite is busy. In the other words, you’ll work if it’s convenient for the company that 43 you. But you have 44 employment rights. As soon as the holiday season 45 ,they’ll get rid of you.”

Last July, my 12-year-old car died on California's Santa Na Freeway. It was an hour before sunset, and I was 25 miles form home. I couldn't reach anyone to pick me up, so I decided to take a bus. Not knowing the routes, I figured I'd just head east.
A bus pulled up, and I asked the driver how far she was going. "Four more lights," she said. There was another bus I could take form there. This clearly was going to be a long night.
She dropped me off at the end of her route and told me which bus to look for. After waiting 30 minutes, I began to think about a very expensive taxi ride home. Then a bus pulled up. There was no lighted number above its wind-shield. It was out of service. But the door opened, and I was surprised to find that it was the same driver.
"I just can't leave you here, "she said. "This isn't the nicest place. I'll give you a ride home."
“You’ll drive me home in the bus?” I asked, perplexed(迷惑的).
“No, I’ll take you in my car,” she said.
“It’s a long way,” I protested(抗议).
“Come on,”she said. “I have nothing else to do.”
As we drove from the station in her car, she began telling me a story. A few days earlier, her brother had run out of gas. A good Samaritan picked him up, took him to a service station and then back to his car. “I’m just passing the favor along.”she said.
When I offered her money as a thank-you, she wouldn’t hear of it. “That would not make it a favor,” she said. “Just do something nice for somebody. Pass it along.”
