Nannies provide childcare in the familys private home.Full-time nannies with parents meet the physical, social, emotional and intellectual needs of the children. They typically do the childrens laundry, keep the childrens areas neat and clean, and prepare meals and snacks for the children. Depending on the age of the child and the familys needs, the nanny may be responsible for bathing the child, transporting the child to activities and assisting the child with homework.Since nannies work in the private home and serve as caretakers, and educators, nannies must be trustworthy. Nannies are often hired so that parents can fulfill their personal and professional tasks. For this reason, nannies must be dependable and reliable.Full-time nannies work on average 40 to 60 hours per week and may live with the family as live-in nannies.

D This is a true story about a boy who, the world might say, was a terrible underachiever. While in the eighth grade, he failed subjects repeatedly. High school wasnt much better; he flunked Latin, algebra, English, and received a grade of zero in physics. The boy managed to make the school golf team, but he lost the most important golf match of the season.Its not that his peers disliked this boy; its just that they never really seemed to notice him much. Even “Hellos” in the hall were a rarity. Out of all the failures in his life, there was something that did hold great importance to this boy, his love of drawing. Although in high school, the cartoons he submitted to the yearbook were rejected, once out of school, the boy was so sure of his artistic talent that he approached Walt Disney Studios with drawing works. I wish I could say the studios loved his work and immediately hired him, but such was not the case; another huge rejection.Despite his lack of successes, this boy did not give up. He then decided to write his own autobiography in cartoons, about a little boy who was regarded as a loser and a nobody.The name of this boy was Charles Schulz, the creator of the famous Charlie Brown and ic dog Snoopy.In life, it is sometimes easy to feel like a nobody. We pass hundreds of people on the street on our way to work, or walk through a faceless crowd in a mall, and no one seems to notice or care. Deep inside, we may know we are special and unique and have lots to offer, but unless someone takes the time to look our way and give us a chance, we may feel worthless, just like Charlie Brown who couldnt even manage to fly a kite or kick a football properly.Just as Charles Schulz had faith in his artistic talent, so too, we must realize that nobody is a nobody. We all have special gifts and talents, and every human being is deserving and capable of being loved and appreciated.32.The underlined word “flunked” in Paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to _.A. failed B. learned C. achieved D. misunderstood33.What can we infer about the boy in Paragraph 2?A.
