than ever.i continued working as a waitress at night，instructed tennis camps several mornings a week and worked as a secretary for a few hours in the afternoons.i even decided to take a class at a community college.this class at the community college saved me $650.it was an extremely tiring summer and made me anxious to return to my relatively easy life at the university.during my second and third years of undergraduate schooling，i decided to work about five hours per week in the campus admissions office answering phones.this provided a little spending money and kept me from drawing my savings out.the overall situation looked hopeful as i approached my senior year as long as i could make as much money as i had the previous summer.i wanted to go to israel to study for 3 weeks，but i hesitated in making this decision because it would cost me $1,600 more to get the credits in israel.about two weeks later my mom called to tell me that i had $1,600 in the bank that i had forgotten about！one of my concerns about this trip was not only the cost，but the loss of time to make money；however，i made as much that summer in the ten weeks when i was at home as i had made during the fourteen weeks when i was at home the summer before.the way everything worked together to make this trip possible was one of the most exciting things that have ever happened to me.this experience has shaped me in many important ways.the first thing that i learned was the importance of a strong work ethic (道德准则)working long hours did a lot to develop my character and helped me learn the value of a dollar.it also made me learn how to search for creative ways to settle difficult situations.36where did the writer probably work parttime before attending the university?ain a restaurant.bin the tennis camps.cin a company. din the campus admissions office.37the writer took a class at a community college mainly because_.ashe wanted to save money blife there was relatively easycsummer time was

discuss the same book.popular book picks have been harper lees to kill a mockingbird，ernest gainess a lesson before dying，and ray bradburys fahrenheit 451.“one city one book” programs take the idea of a localized book discussion club and expand it to cover a whole city.the first such program was “if all of seattle read the same book” in 1998，started by nancy pearl at seattle public librarys washington center for the book.the book chosen for the program was the sweet hereafter by russell banks，written in 1991.other cities copied the idea，and the library of congress listed 404 programs occurring in 2007.each citys program has its own goals；these typically include building a sense of community and promoting literacy.nancy pearl warns against expecting too much from a program：“keep in mind that this is a library program，its not an exercise in civics，and that its not intended to have literature cure the racial divide.this is about a work of literature.” programs typically involve more than having everyone read the same book.some other activities that have been included are：book discussion sessions，scholarly lectures on the book or related topics，a visit by the author，exhibits，related arts programming (especially showing a movie of the book if there is one)，and integration into school curricula.in boston the “one city one story” program used shorter stories and distributed tens of thousands of free copies of the story over the course of a month.american library association puts out a detailed stepbystep guide on how to organize a local program，including the critical step of picking the one book.the center for the book at the library of congress tracks all known programs and the books they have used.40“one city one book” programs_.aask everyone in a

two years ago, family and friends had traveled far to watch our class walk across the stage. but like everyone else in my graduating class, i had watched the economy go from bad to worse during my senior year. we graduates had degrees, but very limited prospects (前景). i hadnt secured a job, and i knew that the next day, when my lease (租约) ended, i would no longer have a place to call home. the weeks ahead werent easy. i gathered up everything i couldnt carry and put it into storage. then, because i had no opportunities in my small university town, i packed up my car and drove to california to find work. but what i thought would take a week dragged into two, then four, and 100 job applications later, i found myself in the same spot as i was before. the due date to begin paying back my student loans was creeping even closer.have you ever felt utter dread? that feeling became constant in my life. the most frustrating part was no matter how much i tried, i just couldnt seem to make any progress. i channeled my frustration into a childrens book. beyond the river was the story of an unlikely hero, a little fish who refused to give up. and then one day, with no writing degree or contacts in the writing world just hard work and perseverance i was offered a publishing contract for my first book. after that, things were in place. i was offered a second book deal. then, a few
