Peter, a high school student, was pretty busy with school, and he was on the soccer team. High school was hard, because everyone wanted to have nice clothes, hang out, drive cars, and all these cost money. Peters father was the sort of guy that believed you had to earn whatever you got, so he wasnt just about to hand over lots of money for Peter to use to have fun. So, he had to get a job. During his freshman year summer vacation, his classmate got him a job working on a hay(干草)farm. He threw hay up into wagons as the tractor drove around fields, and then they stacked(剁起)it in the hot barn. It was a hot, low-paying job. He once worked a few nights a week at a grocery store. He put things on the shelf. It was a lot of lifting and carrying, and his arms were strong from this and the previous job. It was dull and didnt pay much. He took some time off when soccer got serious, but the following summer he tried working at a lumber yard. It was hot outside, but he got a lot of exercise lifting and carrying things like boards and drywall. He also learned a lot about building supplies. It still didnt pay well. From there, he spent a year doing some tutoring for a friend of the family, but that was piecemeal. His first real job came the last year at school, when he fixed registers and worked on puters at a big box store. It was his favorite job yet, but it still didnt pay well. What Peter realized with all of these jobs was that he needed a better paying job!The only way to get that was to get trained or educated. He could go to school and get a 2-year degree in an office or technical position. His other choices were going to a 4-year college or joining the army. He wasnt sure what he was going to do yet, but he knew he had to do something. Jobs were a lot of work, and money was hard to earn, but he liked staying busy and being able to buy things. Peter wanted the most out of life, and that meant education. 24. How many jobs had Peter taken? A. Three. B. Four. C. Five. D. Six. 25. All the jobs Peter had taken had one thing in mon:. A. They didnt pay well B. They were dull and tiresomeC. They needed hard labour D. They were done during his vacation26. was the most important for Peter if he wanted a good job. A. Confidence B. EducationC. Opportunity D. Wisdom27. We can learn from the text that. A. Peter knew what to do for his future B. Peters father didnt care about himC. it was very hard for Peter to make his choicesD. Peter was determined to do whatever he likedCIm sure youve asked this when traveling, “Can I drink the tap water? ”It is easy to get confused about where its safe to drink and where its not, especially if youre planning a multi-destination trip.
