Chance at new start
Mike Miles hadn't had a stable job in years. He bounced around from agency to agency, never sure when his last day would be. Sometimes, he lost a job with less than a day's notice. This was not due to a poor work ethic (职业道德)﹣from arriving early to staying late, Miles says he did everything he could to leave good impressions on employers in Lancaster, Pennsylvania, in the US. But because Miles had a criminal record, he was always cut loose when it came time to let staff go.
"It was like walking on eggshells. You just never knew when you'd be gone," he said.
After his release from prison in 2007, Miles struggled to find stability (稳定)﹣both mentally and financially. During this time, he lived in his mother's house and she helped him raise his daughter. When his mom passed away two years later, Miles says he became more determined than ever to create a healthy environment for his family.
"I'm all she has, and she's all I have," he said. "I had to build a whole new relationship with my daughter, while building a whole new life for myself."
It wasn't until October 2015, nearly a decade after he got out of prison, that a cousin told Miles about a food company that hires people who have difficulty finding jobs.
Hoping this would clear up what felt like a thick cloud of uncertainty over his future, Miles submitted an application. He got an interview and soon after that, began his new job. His work involves everything from food production to maintenance (保存), not to mention it pays a livable wage of $15 an hour. He says it's the best job he's ever had.
Miles' story is rare in Lancaster, where the poverty rate is around 30 percent﹣about double the national average. This figure annoyed Charlie Crystle, the co﹣founder and CEO of the company that gave Miles his job.
Crystle says he wants to inspire other companies and entrepreneurs (企业家) to rethink their current practices and ignite (引发) conversations about minimum wage and employment opportunities for everyone, including ex﹣offenders (前罪犯).
Beyond providing employment and livable wages, the company also helps employees deal with the many challenges of reentry into society. This means anything from helping them find housing and health benefits to changing their schedules so they can make court dates.
Miles is now saving for a house."It doesn't have to be a big house," he said. "I just want to be stable."
1.Why did Miles change his occupation frequently?
A. He liked to try new things.
B. He could not find a job he likes all the time.
C. He was an unstable person who didn't have persistence.
D. He was never asked to stay at jobs long as he had been in jail.
2.What encouraged Miles to find a stable job?
A. He wanted to move into a better house.
B. He faced heavy social pressure from other people.
C. He wanted to make living conditions better for his family.
D. He couldn't stand living with his mother at such an old age.
3.From the article,we can learn that Crystal ________.
A. criticizes other companies for their low wages
B. longs to be famous and gain more respect
C. encourage other companies to think their current practices again
D. pushes other companies to help ex﹣offenders with reentry into society
4.What can we infer from the last three paragraphs?
A. Miles is content with his current situation.
B. Miles is going to buy a big house in the future.
C. The local government will help everyone find jobs.
D. The minimum wage level will surely increase in Lancaster.
