Many little girls like flowers, watching butterflies and riding small horses. A lot of them also like cars, robots and spaceships. But most girls’ clothing only has pictures of flowers, butterflies or horses.

Two mothers decided to make clothes that include all the things that little girls do and love.

Six-year-old Bella loves to play with cars. So her dress has pictures of cars on it.

“We haven’t found this type of dress in the store,” Cathy, Bella’s mother, says.

The car dress is from a new girl’s clothing line called Princess Awesome. Rebecca Melsky set up the business. She says its products for girls have some designs normally found on boys’ clothes.

It all started two years ago when Rebecca was hoping to buy clothing for her two-year-old, who liked robots, trucks and spaceships.

“One day when I walked through a girls’ store, I thought to myself I wish they’d make one of those beautiful dresses that also have a robot on it because she will love that. And I thought someone should do that. Maybe I should do that,” Rebecca, said.

Her friend Eva St. Clair believed she should, and their business was born. The women sold the first 70 dresses they made at a market. So they decided to expand their business online. Their products sold very well there, too.

“They sold out so fast that I could not make them fast enough. We decided it was time to think about a factory,” Rebecca said.

So they started to raise money from people over the Internet. The women raised more than ＄215,000 within days, far more than the ＄35,000 they expected.

“Our biggest challenge is going to be how we expand as rapidly as people seem to want us to,” Rebecca said.

The women hope Princess Awesome will expand into products for girls of all ages and all interests.

Dear Jerry,

I'm sorry for having no time to pay visit to Hangzhou with you next week. The reason why I can't spare time is because there are many friend of mine who are facing a coming English exam. There has no doubt that it is important for them. They are looking forward on to my giving a hand to them and they hope to get through the exam successful. As a result, I will spend time help them at that time. In addition, I will attend a party which aim to raise money for the people in the earthquake-hit areA. But l want to put off their time of the visit to the first weekend of next month. Is it OK？

Best wishes!

Yours

Getting on with colleagues is more important to workers than a big salary, a new study has revealed.

A detailed study of work attitudes found that many factors outweigh the pay cheque, such as relationships with colleagues, self-worth, and the nature of the job itself. Eight in ten of the 2,000 people polled said they would turn down a big salary increase if it meant working with people or in an environment they didn’t like. The results showed people are the most important factor in work-related happiness, along with enjoying the role and getting on with the boss.

And a manageable commute was also considered more important than good pay, according to the study by the Association of Accounting Technicians (AAT).

Chief Executive Mark Farrar said: “The results show that, when it comes to working happiness, money is far from the driving factor for most of us.” “Of course, life dictates that we earn as much as we can to maintain or improve our circumstances, but most regarded working with good people or in a role they feel valued in as more important than the salary.” “Most of us will spend the biggest portion of our lives working and it’s important that any job we have enhances us both professionally and personally.”

“Many respondents had turned down higher paid jobs because it would have meant less time with the family and a poor work-life balance.”

The study also found a third had left a job despite it being well paid – mainly because they didn’t think it was worth the added pressure.

While others felt they weren’t given the right appreciation from senior staff or the role stopped challenging them. Three quarters would struggle to accept a job that gave them more money if they knew it would be a lot more stressful.

In fact, pay was only the sixth biggest factor for people staying in their current job, with Britons prioritizing good relationships with those around them, enjoying the role and the commuting time over thinking about the money.

Only 15 percent of the 2000 workers polled actively disliked their current job.

When asked why they were unhappy, respondents were more likely to feel the nature of the work was dull and unfulfilling or that their boss didn’t appreciate them than they were to say their pay was too low.

1.The article is mainly about_____________________.

A. why money is important in a job

B. what is important in a job

C. why people dislike their jobs

D. how people get satisfying jobs

2.What matters most for work happiness according to the poll?

A. A nice boss.

B. A handsome salary.

C. Good balance of work and life.

D. Good relationships with colleagues.

3.The underlined word “prioritizing” is closest in meaning to _________.

A. considering something more important

B. putting something aside

C. doubting

D. Weighing
