Last month I went to stay with my cousin Ken, who is a vet. I've always been interested in animals.
I wanted to have a week's work experience with a vet, so it seemed a good idea. My cousin Ken is
friendly and easygoing, so I stayed with him, too. We had a lot of laughs.
In their practice, they do a lot of "small-animal" work. In other words, they look after people's pets,
and don't work much with farm animals. Even so, it was very interesting. During the week I helped as
much as I could. I cleaned out the animals' cages and boxes, as some of them are kept in the building
for a night or a couple of days. I also fed them. I looked after the owners when they arrived with their
pets, and made cups of tea and coffee for the two vets and the assistant. I watched all the operations
that were done and asked lots of questions.
On my last day, I helped in an operation on a cat, which had a bad leg. Sometimes a vet needs
another pair of hands. The cat lived, by the way!
I wasn't sure what a vet's job would be like, and I found it was very interesting. I learnt that a vet
needs a lot of scientific knowledge. Science isn't my best subject, therefore I feel that it is not a job for
me. Even so, I'm still pleased with the work experience that I had. It's a great help while you're trying
to make up your mind.

A. vets like Ken don't do a lot of work with farm animals
B. the writer helped them less and asked more
C. there were more farm animals than small animals there
D. the writer could do the operations on the animals
3. Sometimes the vets were _________.
A. very worried about the cat
B. very busy
C. sorry for the animal's death
D. sure what they did
4.The underlined sentence "it is not a job for me" means _________.

The volunteers who brought the nine-year-old to the orphanage* knew little about her. The streets where they found her had been her home for many years. Her parents were unknown. They had left her long ago.
At the orphanage, the girl, like all the children there, was taught to read and write. While she was studying at the orphanage, she learned something else -- to be independent*. At twenty-one, she left the orphanage and began work as a secretary.
And then, in 1975, while she was still working as a common secretary, something very unusual happened. She entered the Miss Hong Kong competition -- and won it. This was the turning point in her life. Now Mary Cheung was very popular in Hong Kong.
Mary entered the competition because she was full of ambitions* and because she wanted to show that orphanage girls could be something. Winning the competition gave her the chance to start a new life. This led her first into television and then to a business manager. When she was working as a manager, she had trouble with her reports. “My English just wasn’t good enough,” she said. Fortunately, she had a boy-friend (who later became her husband) to help her.
Mary studied management at Hong Kong Polytechnic and graduated in 1980. She started her own company in 1995. But she was still working hard to develop herself. She then studied for a Fine Arts degree at the University of Hong Kong. Her ambition was to teach arts in Hong Kong. Since 1987, she has spent a lot of her time on photography. She has held several exhibitions of her work in many places, including China, New Zealand and Paris. She still found time, however, to work on TV and for charity, to write for newspapers and bring up her family.
