Peter, a high school student, was pretty busy with school, and he was on the soccer team. High school was hard, because everyone wanted to have nice clothes, hang out, drive cars, and all these cost money. Peter’s father was the sort of guy that believed you had to earn whatever you got, so he wasn’t just about to hand over lots of money for Peter to use to have fun. So, he had to get a job.

During his freshman year summer vacation, his classmate got him a job working on a hay (干草) farm. He threw hay up into wagons as the tractor drove around fields, and then they stacked (剁起) it in the hot barn. It was a hot, low?paying job.

He once worked a few nights a week at a grocery store. He put things on the shelf. It was a lot of lifting and carrying, and his arms were strong from this and the previous job. It was dull and didn’t pay much.

He took some time off when soccer got serious, but the following summer he tried working at a lumber yard. It was hot outside, but he got a lot of exercise lifting and carrying things like boards and drywall. He also learned a lot about building supplies. It still didn’t pay well.

From there, he spent a year doing some tutoring for a friend of the family, but that was piecemeal. His first real job came the last year at school, when he fixed registers and worked on computers at a big box store. It was his favorite job yet, but it still didn’t pay well.

What Peter realized with all of these jobs was that he needed a better paying job! The only way to get that was to get trained or educated. He could go to school and get a 2?year degree in an office or technical position. His other choices were going to a 4?year college or joining the army. He wasn’t sure what he was going to do yet, but he knew he had to do something. Jobs were a lot of work, money was hard to earn, but he liked staying busy and being able to buy things. Peter wanted the most out of life, and that meant education.

1. How many jobs had Peter taken?

A. Three B. Four. C. Five. D. Six.

2.All the jobs Peter had taken had one thing in common:________.

A. They were done during his vacation

B. They were dull and tiresome

C. They needed hard labour

D. They didn’t pay well

3. ________was the most important for Peter if he wanted a good job.

A. Confidence B. Education

C. Opportunity D. Wisdom

4.We can learn from the text that________.

A. Peter knew what to do for his future

B. Peter’s father didn’t care about him

C. it was very hard for Peter to make his choices

D. Peter was determined to do whatever he liked

One day I was walking to the mailbox with my dad,when I saw something drop from a tree.I couldn't what it was,so I kept my eyes on the spot as we came near .It was a baby bird,which had fallen from its nest.It had long,awkward wings and feet,and that fought to stay open .It was , so I sat next to it watching while my dad got the mail.I its nest and mother , what would happen to it.

My dad and we had to it;there was nothing we could do.He said if the bird mother smelled any traces(踪迹) of ,she wouldn't go near the again.

As we began to walk away,a woman .”Did it fall out of a nest ?”she asked.

“Yeah.”I answered.

“It a lot. Not much we can do,”she said .”Try not to think about it when you go to sleep tonight.”

I walked the mailbox the next day.The baby bird lay in the grass.

I realize that “Try not to think about it” is the of many people towards things which to provide them with perfect excuses not bothering . The woman wasn't being ; she was actually quite nice. But when everyone says”there's I can do —just try not to think about it,”Where will we finally ? When billions of people try not to think about it When they go to bed at night, there might be millions of fallen birds lying dead and in the grass the next morning.
