20．ChancesI really love my job because I enjoy working with small children and like the challenges and awards from the job．I also think my work is important．There was a time when I thought I would never have that sort of career（职业）．
I wasn't an excellent student because I didn't do much schoolwork．In my final term I started thinking what I might do and found I didn‘t have much to offer．I just accepted that I wasn't the type to have a career．
I then found myself a job．Looking after two little girls．It wasn't too bad at first．But the problems began when I agreed to live in，so that I would be there if my boss had to go out for business in the evening．We agreed that if I had to work extra hours one week，she'd give me time off the next．But unfortunately，it didn't often work out．I was getting extremely tired and fed up，because I had too many late nights and early mornings with the children．
One Sunday，I was in the park with the children，and met Megan who used to go to school with me．I told her about my situation．She suggested that I should do a course and get a qualification（资格证书）if I wanted to work with children．I didn't think I would be accepted because I didn't take many exams in school．She persuaded me to phone the local college and they were really helpful．My experience counted for a lot and I got on a part-time course．I had to leave my job with the family，and got work helping out at a kindergarten．
Now I've got a full-time job there．I shall always be thankful to Megan．I wish I had known earlier that you could have a career，even if you aren't top of the class at school．

10．At Blossom End Railroad Station，22-year-old Stanley Vine sat，waiting for his new employer．The surrounding green fields were so unlike the muddy landscape of war-torn France．After four horrible years as a solider in Europe，Stanley returned to England in February 1946．Armed now with some savings and with no possibility of finding a job in England，he answered a newspaper ad for farm help in Canada．Two months later he was on his way．
Stanley rose to his feet，trying to make the most of his five foot and four inches frame．The farmer，Alphonse Lapine，shook his head，"You're a skinny thing．"On the way to his dairy farm，Alphonse explained that he had a wife and seven kids．"Money is tight．You'll get up at dawn for milking，and then help me around the farm until evening milking time again．Ten dollars a week．Sundays off．"Stanley nodded．He had never been on a farm before，but he took the job．
From the beginning Stanley was treated horribly by the whole family．They made fun of the way he dressed and talked．He could do nothing right．The humourless farmer frequently lost his temper，criticizing Stanley for the slightest mistake．The oldest son，13-year-old Armand，constantly played tricks on him．But Stanley never responded．
Stanley never became part of the Lapine family．After work，they ignored him．He spent his nights alone in a tiny bedroom．However，each evening before going to bed，he lovingly cared for the farmer's horses．On Saturday nights he hiked into the nearest town and wandered the streets or enjoyed a restaurant meal before returning to the farm．
Early one November morning Alphonse Lapine discovered that Stanley had disappeared，after working for only six months．The railway station master，when questioned later that week，said he had not seen him．In fact no one in the community ever heard of him again．That is，until one evening，almost 20 years later，when Armand opened an American sports magazine and came across a shocking headline，"Millionaire jockey，Stanley Vine，ex-British soldier and 5-time horse riding champion，began life in North America as a farmhand in Canada．"

56．Stanley decided to go to Canada becauseC．
A．he wanted to escape from war-torn France

C．he couldn't find a job in England
D．he loved working as a farmhand

A．Stanley joined the French army when he was 18 years old
B．on the farm Stanley had to milk the cows 14 times a week
C．the Lapine family were rich but cruel to Stanley
D．Stanley read about the job offer in a newspaper
58．What did Stanley like doing after work each day？B
A．Hiking to different towns．
B．Caring for the farmer's horses．
C．Wandering around the farm alone．
D．Preparing meals on the farm．
59．Why was Armand so astonished when he read about Stanley in the magazine？D
