cleaner, cleaning offices in a big building.
She trained as a nurse, but had to give it up when her elder child became seriously ill.“I would have
liked to go back to it, but the shifts（工作班次） are all wrong for me, as I have to be home to get the
children up
and off to school.”So she works as a cleaner instead, from 9 p.m.till 6 a.m.five nights a week for just ￡90, before tax
and insurance.“It’s better than it was last year, but I still think that people who work ‘unsocial hours’
should get a bit extra.”
The hours she’ s chosen to work mean that she sees plenty of the children, but very little of her
husband.However, she doesn’t think that puts any pressure on their relationship.
Her work isn’t physically very hard, but it’s not exactly pleasant, either.“I do get angry with people
who leave their offices like a place for raising pigs.If they realized people like me have to do it, perhaps
they’d be a bit more careful.”
The fact that she’s working all night doesn’t worry Margaret at all.Unlike some dark buildings at
night, the building where she works is fully lit, and the women work in groups of three.“Since I’ve got to
be here, I try to enjoy myself-and I usually do, because of the other girls.We all have a good laugh, so the
time never drags.”
Another challenge Margaret has to face is the reaction of other people when she tells them what she
does for a living.“They think you’re a cleaner because you don’t know how to read and write,” said
Margaret.“I used to think what my parents would say if they knew what I’d been doing, but I don’t think
that way any more.I don’t dislike the work though I can’t say I’m mad about it.”
B.she had suffered a lot of mental pressure
C.she needed the right time to look after her children
D.she felt tired of taking care of patients
B.
they look down upon cleanersC.they never do their work carefully
D.they always make a mess in their offices
A.light-hearted because of her fellow workers
B.happy because the building is fully lit
C.tired because of the heavy workload
D.bored because time passes slowly
B.regret what they had said
C.show sympathy for her
D.feel disappointed in her
