     I 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 ofthe class at school.

阅读理解      A baby camel asked his mother, "why do we have such large hoofs on our feet?" She turned to him
and began her explanation.
     "The big hoofs are to keep us from sinking into the sand."
      "Oh!So why do we have long eyelashes?"
     "It"s to protect our eyes from the sand."
     "Why the big humps?"
     "That is to store fat and have enough energy to go long distances in the hot desert!"
     "I see!"the baby camel stretched his neck and looked up at his mother."Then what are we doing in
this cage in the middle of a zoo?"
     Like the baby camel, I had asked the same kind of questions. When my blindness set in, I first
locked myself in a cage of self-pity and bitterness. I was tired of walking out of that dark cage.
      Heavens! What was I thinking? Those bars were self-imposed (自我强加的). Finally, eagerness to
leave it inspired me to open my ears to hear a reassuring whisper--I was created for much more.
     I broke down those bars and stepped out into the desert of life. I walked difficultly through the heat
with determination. And the hooves of confidence kept me from sinking into the sand of danger.
     Each time I reached another point on my journey, my eyes saw a whole new world with opportunities
to make a difference. Best of all, I was pleased that I was indeed created for much more! Bars come in
all sizes and shapes. But none can hold up the force of determination that breaks them down.
      Step back and peek at what bars limit you. Take a deep breath, break them down, and come out
into the freshness of a new life!

阅读理解      Barbara and Barry Zucker--- Pinchoff, both doctors from New York City, took their three
daughters on a walking safari(旅行)last year in Tanzania. Barbara told about their experience in
Kinbero, "It is the most remote(遥远的)place we have ever been to," camping with a few other
Americans, two Tanzanian guides, and several Hadza(哈扎人)who had time to sit and chat
because they had just killed a giraffe.
     About 400 members of the Eastern Hadza tribe(部落)live in Tanzania today, the only
hunter-gatherers who remain in Africa. The Hadza hunt game, gather edible plants and honey,
and move from place to place whenever the weather changes. Every two weeks or so, they move
to a new campsite.
     At the Pinchoffs" campsite, three Hadza men stopped by to visit and ended up staying three
days. One of the guides gave the men a cigarette. They took out the tobacco, put it in a pipe, and
lit the pipe with fire they started.
     It takes less than two hours for Hadza women to build a new camp. They make huts(茅屋)by
bending branches into round structures about six feet high, and then covering them with long,
golden grass. If the weather is very wet, the women may choose a dry cave to set up a camp. Some
rock caves have been used over thousands of years and are decorated(装饰)with ancient rock
paintings. Whether they sleep in huts, caves or in the open, the Hadza cover themselves only with thin
cloths and depend on fire to keep them warm.
     The Hadza refuse to be "settled" into villages or to have the life of farmers. By 1979, almost all of
them had returned to their old ways. They Hadza may be the only tribe in Africa that has never paid
taxes.

阅读理解     It was in 1865 that two Frenchmen were looking into the future. Edouard de Laboulaye, who studied
history, admired the United States greatly. Frederic Auguste Bartholdi was a famous artist. De Laboulaye was thinking about 1876, when the country he respected so much would celebrate its 100th birthday.
What gift would be good enough for the people of France to give? Right away, Bartholdi thought of a
giant statue.
     Bartholdi kept thinking about a statue for several years. Then, in 1871, he visited the United States
and saw the perfect place for a huge statue. It was Bedloe"s Island in New York.
     The project - the Statue of Liberty - got started almost immediately, and Bartholdi went home to
France to begin work. However, the statue was not finished in time for the 100th birthday. The United

celebration in 1876, the arm of the statue that would hold the torch was shown in Philadelphia. In 1879
the huge head was put on display in France. For the face of the statue, Bartholdi used his mother as a
     The statue was finally completed in 1884. The work had been difficult enough, but then some really
hard work began. The statue had to be taken apart and packed into boxes. It was not until May 1885
that the statue - in pieces - left France for its new home.
     The statue arrived in June. However, the Americans fell behind on their part of the project. They
hadn"t raised enough money for building the base of the statue. People wondered if the country really
needed or wanted such a gift. Finally, though, the money was raised and the base was completed. The
last piece of the statue was put in place on October 28, 1886.

1. What"s the right order of the following events?

2.When did the work on the statue begin?

A. As soon as Bartholdi thought of it.
B. After the United States Congress agreed to it.
