“It doesn’t matter. I think you have a lift in your hotel.”

“Of course, sir,” said Mr. Johnason. “It’ll take you right there. By the way, may I keep your bag for you?”

“No, thanks. There’s nothing expensive in it but a long rope.”

22、   Dollar bills in the US are about to see some changes. For about 90 years, US money has looked nearly the same.The bills have past US presidents or important men on them, but great women and African-Americans have not been shown.

23、My name is Alice, a woman from England. I’ve lived in Sheffield since my childhood. Now I work full-time as a nurse at a local hospital. But I have always been interested in art and history. I enjoy visiting museums and historic places, and expressing myself through artworks and photos. As a young child, my dream was to work in an art museum.

In the past few years, I always thought about doing some volunteer(志愿者) work with the Sheffield Museum. Last summer, I decided to go for it. I got in touch with the museum through its website. A few days later, the museum called me. On July 10th, I started doing some two­-hour work twice a week. My work was to help the Visitor Experience team to welcome visitors and complete studies.

In November, I joined the Talking Tables project. On the Talking Tables, there were some special things about art. Visitors could touch them and ask questions about them. My job was to look after these things. In December, I took part in a seasonal celebration for volunteers at the Sheffield Museum. It was a lovely activity with delicious food. History professor Stephen Nissenbaum gave a speech in public about mid­-winter traditions, which was well-­known around the world.

I have found the museum workers and all the volunteers were very friendly. It has been enjoyable to feel useful in a completely different role and working environment from those of my regular (常规的) job. We are all ordinary people. But sometimes we can do something special to make our life different.
