I’m seventeen. I worked as a box boy at a supermarket in Los Angeles. People came to the counter (柜台) and I put things in their bags for them and carried things to their cars. It was hard work.

While working, I wore a plate with my name on it. I once met someone I knew years ago. I remembered his name and said, “Mr. Castle, how are you?” We talked about this and that. As he left, he said, “It was nice talking to you, Brett.” I felt great, he remembered me. Then I looked down at my name plate. Oh, no. He didn’t remember me at all, he just read the name plate. I wish I had put “Irving” down on my name plate. If he’d have said, “Oh yes, Irving, how could I forget you?” I’d have been ready for him. There’s nothing personal here.

The manager and everyone else who were a step above the box boys often shouted orders. One of these was: you couldn’t accept tips(小费). Okay, I’m outside and I put the bags in the car. For a lot of people, the natural reaction(反应)is to take a quarter and give it to me. I’d say, “I’m sorry, I can’t.” They’d get angry. When you give someone a tip, you’re sort of being polite. You take a quarter and you put it in their hand and you expect them to say, “Oh, thanks a lot.” When you say, “I’m sorry, I can’t.” they feel a little put down. They say, “No one will know.” And they put it in your pocket. You say, “I really can’t.” It gets to a point where you almost have to hurt a person physically to prevent him from tipping you. It was not in agreement with the store’s belief in being friendly. Accepting tips was a friendly thing and made the customer feel good. I just couldn’t understand the strangeness of some people’s ideas. One lady actually put a tip in my pocket, got in the car, and drove away. I was puzzled and didn’t know what to do. Should I d have had to throw the quarter at her or eaten it or something?

I decided that one year had been enough. Some people needed the job to stay alive and fed. I guess I had the means and could afford to hate it and give it up.

1.. From the second paragraph, we can infer (推断) that ________.

A. the writer didn’t like the impersonal part of his job

B. people can easily start talking with a name plate

C. Mr. Castle mistook Irving for Brett

D. Irving was the writer’s real name

2.. The box boy refused to accept tips because ________.

A. customers only gave small tips to

B. some customers had strange ideas about tipping

C. he didn’t want to fight with the customers

D. the store didn’t allow the box boys to take tips

3.. The underlined phrase “put down” in the third paragraph probably means ________.

C. bored　　　　 　 D. surprised

4.What can be the best title for this text?

A. How I Could Find a Job

A box boy at a supermarket was hard work. People came to the counter(柜台) and you put things in their bags for them and carried things to their cars. I had worked as a box boy in a supermarket in central Los Angles for ten months when I was seventeen.

While working, I wear a plate(标牌) with my name on it. One day I met someone I knew years ago. I remembered his name and said, “Mr. Castle, how are you?” We talked about this and that. As he left, he said, “It was nice talking to you, Brett.” I felt great that he remembered me. Then I looked down at my name plate. Oh no. He didn’t remember me at all. He just read the name plate. I wish I had put “Irving” down on my name plate. If he’d have said, “Oh yes, Irving, how could I forget you?” I’d have been ready for him. There’s nothing personal here.

In the past, working people in Britain only had holidays on “holy” (religious) days: Sundays, Christmas and Easter. Now most people have about four weeks of holiday time every year plus public (公共的) holidays (also called “bank holidays”).

When?

Most British workers take a two-week holiday in July or August. School children are on holiday from the end of July to the start of September. Taking a second holiday break in winter or spring is also becoming more popular in the UK.

Where?

The most popular holiday destinations for Brits include Spain, France, Greece and the US. Lots of people buy a package holiday that includes flights and a hotel or an apartment (公寓). Cheap overseas flights mean that many British people are able to spend two weeks a year vacationing abroad. Flights and package holidays are much cheaper during school terms and the British government is worried that some young people are skipping school (逃课) to go on holiday. Parents who take their child on vacation during term time must now pay a fine (罚款).

British people also like to go on holiday in the UK. They might go to England, Northern Ireland, Scotland or Wales, In Cornwall (康沃尔), for example, there is an environmental project called the Eden Project. You can see plants from all over the world there.

Independent (独立的) holidays

Some teenagers want to spend their holidays doing something without their family. A language exchange (交换) is one way to become more independent and improve one’s language skills. A British teenager might spend a week or two in a foreign country, staying with a family who has a son or daughter of the same age and practicing the local language. Later, the foreign teenager might visit the UK to practice their English with a British family.

a. Christmas.　 b. Saturdays.　 c. Easter.　 d. Bank holidays.

A.ab B.ac C.bc D.cd
