  “Be proud of what you do,”my father often tells me ,“whether (無論是) you are a manager or a cleaner. ” At the age of 15 ,I got my first job—a summer job in a hospital. My work is to wash dishes and sweep the floors. I smiled and remembered Dad’ s words.

   My job was the lowest,but it made me feel excited. I saw it as a challenge (衫匕戰(zhàn)) because it was my first job. I learned to be on time and tried to do everything well. People in hospital all liked me. Every morning I always thought that the dirty dishes would make people ill without my job to wash them. After breakfast was done,I started sweeping the floors of all patients , (people who are ill) rooms and cleaning restrooms. I was very tired,but I wanted to do the job well. People often say, "That young boy really does a good job. w That gave me a pride (自豪) .

I have swept floors,and I have been a manager. My father’s words have always stayed with me. I think Dad would be proud of me.(北足市朝陽區(qū) 2012—2013 學年八年級下學期期末考試英語試題)

Trapped on the 37th Floor

Melinda Skaar wasn't expecting any phone calls．Skaar was working late in her office at the First Interstate bank of California．By 10:45 that night she was almost ready to go home when the phone rang．

Picking it up，she heard a guard shouting．“There is a fire! Get out of there!”

Skaar didn’t panic．She figured that it was just a small fire．Her office building was huge．There were 62 floors and her desk was on the 37th floor.

Skaar called out to office mate Stephen Oksas．who also stayed late to work．But when they got to the hallway, they were met by a cloud of black smoke．Rushing back，Skaar shut the door and filled the space at the bottom of the door with her jacket to keep the smoke out．

Then they called 911．Before they could call their families，however, the line went dead．That meant that they were completely cut off from the outside world．All they could do was wait and hope someone would come to rescue them．

Minutes ticked by．Smoke began to float into the office．Soon it became hard for them to breathe．

Looking around，Skaar noticed a small workroom．It seemed to have cleaner air．So they crowded there．That helped for a while，but in time even the workroom was filled with deadly smoke．

Hopeless，they tried to break the windows，but the glass was not breakable．Everything they threw at just bounced back．

Defeated，they struggled back to the workroom．They felt weak and dizzy．Soon Skaar found Oksas had passed out．

As Skaar and Oksas lay near death，rescuers were rushing to find them．At last，at about 4 a．m．，firefighters found them．

The mother of the 13-year-old Dutch girl Laura Dekker, whose plans to make a solo(單獨的) sailing trip around the world have recently made world headlines, has spoken out against the trip. “It breaks my heart to think that because of this I could lose contact with my daughter,” she said in an interview. “I have never before made such a difficult decision. But I must accept the consequences. I would rather have a live daughter who I will never see again than a dead daughter.”

It is the first time that Laura’s mother, Babs Muller, has spoken out against the trip. Laura’s parents are divorced and the girl has lived with her father since she was six. Her father Dick Dekker supports Laura’s plans. However, the Dutch Child Protection Board has decided to place the girl under supervision (監(jiān)督) for two months to find out whether she is mentally and physically able to take the journey. Ms Muller says she is confident that Laura is technically capable of making the journey. “She can sail like the devil. That’s not the problem.” However, she is afraid of the problems a 13-year-old girl can meet in the harbors of Third-World countries and of the psychological (心理上的) pressure of being alone for such a long period on the ocean. “The most important thing, in my eyes, is that she is not yet an adult.”

Ms Muller says she told Laura once before that she was against the idea. Her daughter replied, “If you forbid me, you will have ruined my entire life. Then I’ll never want to see you again.” However, Laura’s mother says that reports that a camera team is planning to follow her around the world could change her opinion about the trip.

1.Laura Dekker’s plans to sail solo around the world _________.

A. made her father unhappy

B. made her parents divorce

C . have attracted wide attention

D. were difficult decisions to make

2.We can learn that the Dutch Child Protection Board _________.

A. cares about Laura’s safety

B. doesn’t believe in Laura at all

C. will train Laura for two months

D. will help Laura realize her dream

3. It can be inferred that Laura Dekker and her mother_________.

A. might have a quarrel.

B. have reached an agreement.

C. have lost touch with each other.

D. are angry with Dick Dekker.
