I was cleaning out an old box when an old card caught my eye:Queen City Casket Company.“What is it?” I wondered.I  36  it over.There,in faded ink, was a hand-scrawled(手写的)  37 . Immediately my mind traveled  38   many years.
I was nine years old, walking down the cold,wet streets of Springfield,with a bag of magazines on my shoulder.On my   39  that day.I came to that Company finally, whose owner, Mr. Rader,had always taken me there to ask his workers  40  they wanted any magazines.
Shaking off the  41  like a wet dog.I entered Mr. Rader's office.After a quick glance ,he  42  me over to the fire-place.Noticing the  43   in the top of my  44  ,he said,“Come with me!”,pulling me into his pickup  45 .we pulled to a stop before a shoe store.Inside,a salesman  46   me with the finest pair of Oxfords I had  47  seen.I  48  about 10 feet tall when I got up  49  them.“We’d like a pair of new socks too.” Mr Rader said.
Back in his office, Mr Rader took out a  50  ,wrote something on it, and handed it to me.With   51  eyes,I read,“Do to others as you would have them do to you.” He said affectionately(深情地),“Jimmy,I want you to 52  I  love  you”.
I said good-bye, and for the first time I  53    a flicker of hope that somehow things would be  54 .With people like Mr Rader in the world,there was hope,kindness and love,and that would always make a   55 .

               Motherhood is a career to respect

  A WOMAN renewing her driver’s license at the CountyClerk’s office was asked to state her occupation. She hesitated, uncertain how to classify herself.

  “What I mean is,” explained the recorder, “do you have a job, or are you just a...”

  “Of course I have a job,” said Emily. “I’m a mother.”

  “We don’t list ‘mother’ as an occupation... ‘housewife’ covers it,” said the recorder.

  One day I found myself in the same situation. The Clerk was obviously a career woman, confident and possessed of a high sounding title. “What is your occupation?” she asked.

  The words simply popped out. “I’m a Research Associate (研究员) in the field of Child Development and Human Relations.”

  The clerk paused, ballpoint pen frozen in midair.

  I repeated the title slowly, then I stared with wonder as my pronouncement (声明) was written in bold, black ink on the official questionnaire.

  “Might I ask,” said the clerk with interest, “just what you do in your field?”

  Coolly, without any trace of panic in my voice, I heard myself reply, “I have a continuing program of research (what mother doesn’t), in the laboratory and in the field (normally I would have said indoors and out). Of course, the job is one of the most demanding in the humanities (any mother care to disagree?), and I often work 14 hours a day (24 is more like it). But the job is more challenging than most careers and the rewards are more of a satisfaction rather than just money.”

  There was an increasing note of respect in the clerk’s voice as she completed the form, stood up, and showed me out.

  As I drove into our driveway, buoyed up (激励) by my glamorous new career, I was greeted by my lab assistants – ages 13, 7, and 3.

  Upstairs I could hear our new experimental model (a 6-month-old baby), in the child-development program, testing out a new vocal pattern.

  I felt proud! I had gone on the official records as someone more distinguished and indispensable (不可缺少的) to mankind than “just another mother.”

  Motherhood... What a glorious career! Especially when there’s a title on the door.

How did the female clerk feel at first when the writer told her occupation?

  A. Cold-hearted.    B. Open-minded.

  C. Puzzled.       D. Interested.

How many children does the writer have?

  A. 3    B. 4    C. 7    D. 13

Why did the woman clerk show more respect to the writer?

  A. Because she thought the writer did admirable work.

  B. Because the writer cared little about rewards.

  C. Because the writer did something that she had little knowledge of.

  D. Because she admired the writer's research work.

What is the point of the article?

  A. To show that how you describe your job affects your feelings toward it.

  B. To show that the writer had a grander job than Emily.

  C. To argue that motherhood is a worthy career.

  D. To show that being a mother is hard and boring work.
