24、   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 unluckily, it didn’t often work out. I was getting quite tired and feeling very bored, 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(说服) me to phone the local college and they were really helpful. My experience helped me 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 of the class at school.

【1】When staying with the two girls’ family，the writer ________.

A.was paid for extra work B.often worked long hours

C.got much help from her boss D.took a day off every other week

【2】Why did the writer leave her first job?

A.She found a full-time job. B.She was very bored with children.

C.She decided to attend a part-time course. D.She needed a rest after working extra hours.

【3】What has the writer learned from her own experiences?

A.Less successful students can still have a career.

B.Qualifications are necessary for a career.

C.Hard work makes an excellent student.

D.One must choose the job she like.

25、The word “shanzhai” originally means “mountain village”，but it means “copy” in Chinese now.

I started to research this topic and found a whole new shanzhai world. There are shanzhai products and online games， even shanzhai culture. It is so popular that some people say to each other “have you shanzhaied today”? Like it or not， shanzhai has become part of our life in China.

I even met an American IT professional recently who has just had his shanzhai mobile phone. He was so proud of it and would not stop talking about all the functions while showing off the look of his phone. I could hardly see the back cover as he had stuck fake logos(假冒标记）“IPhone”， “Nokia” & “LG” on it.

But why has shanzhai become so popular in China? Why do over 50 percent of the people surveyed by CCTV support it? Firstly， many may not realize it but for Chinese people， the word “shanzhai’’ also reminds us of ‘‘the heroes of Liang shan”. Secondly， there would be no shanzhai without the Internet. Shanzhai has caught the interest of millions of Chinese online.

There are also shanzhai celebrities. Many shanzhai singers can be seen performing in some remote places where people cannot see performances by the actual “real” stars. These events are very successful， even though people know that they are not getting the “real” thing.

A. copy       B. mountain village

C. terrible accident D.  the heroes of Liangshan

【2】Shanzhai is a popular word in ______.

A. Japan  B. America   C. China  D. England

【3】Shanzhai appears because of ______.

A. the telephone B. the television

C. the radio D. the Internet

【4】What’s the Chinese meaning of the underlined word “remote”?

A虚拟的  B遥远的 C.真实的 D近处的

【5】Which statement is NOT true according to the passage?

A. Many people are interested in shanzhai.

B. Shanzhi has become popular on the Internet these days.

C. Some shanzhai singers perform well and people love their performance.

D. People who watch shanzhai celebrities didn’t know they are false.

There's always hope

I was sitting around the other morning thinking about some of my former (以前的) students． When I do that, my thoughts always turn to Vincent．

Eighteen years ago, on the first day of third grade, when I had my class write something about themselves, he just sat there． So I took him outside to see what was wrong． “You can ___ about something else; anything you want,” I offered． He turned to me and shouted, “I can’t write!” and threw his pencil．

Vincent was difficult and ______． He acted out． He threw things． He refused to work, to be quiet, to sit down．

So these many years later, I wondered what he was up to． With time on my hands, I googled him and looked him up on Facebook and before long I found him． And after a few texts we agreed to meet． And he told me his ______．
