Finally, he got a job in a warehouse where many different types of home furnishings were stored. Freds job was to unpack the merchandise newly arrived from the factory and put each item in its assigned place. The work was only temporary, but after so long with no employment at all it was better than nothing.One morning Fred unpacked a large and quite fragile vase.

There was a loud crash as the vase fell from Freds hands and shattered into a thousand pieces.Fred was called immediately to the managers office, and he was sure he would be fired.

Transcript: Mark Hill is a traffic police officer in Watford, near London. He works on some of the busiest motorways in Britain, the M1 and the M25.There are traffic police on duty twenty-four hours a day. There are three shifts, and each shift is eight hours. On average they have to deal with three to four accidents each shift. Here is Mark Hill talking about his job:We deal with anyone in the accident who is injured. Thats the first thing. Then we have to clear the road and get the traffic moving again.Most accidents happen because people drive too fast - especially when the roads are wet. Sometimes we get accidents that occur because drivers dont follow the rules. For example, Ive seen a number of cases of drivers overtaking on the left. This is illegal in Britain. If you want to overtake, you have to go into the fast lane on the right.Not everyone can use a motorway in Britain. People that ride a bicycle or a small motorbike are not allowed to use it.I like my job. I have a varied working day - I never know what Im going to do from one day to the next. And I meet all kinds of people. I dont think theres any other job that can give you that experience.Part IV: The supplement: Beagle PatrolQuestions:1.
