expensive department store to provide money for my first trip abroad. It was
near my home, so it seemed perfect. The first place I
1 was in the silk 2 . I didn’t
get my training, so I was 3 of cutting the
materials. There were some regular 4 who came
with servants and drivers. Some had been
5 for years. Most of them were pleasant, but a few were
really 6 . Often when such people appeared, the
7 shop assistants ran away and hid. They only came out from the
store room 8 the customers had gone.
I’ll 9 remember the first day of the
sales. I had set my alarm clock (闹钟) early so as not to
be 10 . I quickly dressed and left the
11 . Outside, It was raining hard and the
12 was moving slowly and carefully. When I got to work, people
were already standing in lines outside the doors. Some had been
13 all night and the weather hadn’t improved their temper (心情). They might be very dangerous and I could see why our 14
had planned the sale like an operation of the army. The day before, he told
me to work at one of the tables in the middle of the shop floor.
At five to nine we were all ready, waiting
15 ,as the seconds ticked (滴嗒) by.
Suddenly, the doors 16 and there was the sound
of hundreds of pairs of feet 17 through
the entrance hall. At the very 18 moment, just as the
first customers were coining near, I dropped my scissors ( 剪刀). I was trying to find them under the 19
when the rush of the crowd struck. I was stuck down there for at least
twenty minutes, with a sea of 20 around me. I
was completely helpless.

Radio and Television － Good Teachers and
Friends
Radio and television are my excellent teachers as
well as my good friends. Firstly, they enable me to know very well what is
going on both at home and abroad even when I stay indoors. Secondly, they
supply me with a great deal of valuable knowledge about geography, history,
social science and natural science. Thirdly, they show me many beautiful music
programmes, exciting sports and games, wonderful movies and TV plays, which
really offer me great fun, enrich my spare time and relax myself. Finally,
they've not only helped me to improve my studying methods but also taught me
how to deal with different problem and how to get on with different people.
What is more, they've helped me to set up a correct outlook of both life and
the world. I'm sure that my life would not become so interesting or colourful
if there were no radio or television.
