If they proved their ability, they learned to make pizzas, cut and serve them on wooden paddles and take orders. 1 I couldnt keep up, and piles of dishes formed on all sides of me. Every time the pile decreased, the call came back to help clear tables out front, and I returned with more dirty dishes.My shift (轮班) was supposed to end at 9 p.m., but when I asked to leave, the manager, Jeff, shook his head. “Not until the work is done,” he said. “You leave a clean station.” 2 However, I worked until after 10 that night. I stayed on dish duty for weeks. My heart sank every time I arrived at work and saw my name written next to “dishes” on the position chart. I spent my shifts behind those steel sinks. I hated every minute I spent on dish duty. 3 One slow mid-week night, when I managed to catch up on dishes and clean out the sinks early, I asked Jeff when I could do something different. “Do you know why youre still doing dishes?” he asked. “Because you keep complaining about it.” 4 But, he promised, if I continued to leave a clean station and not complain, next week he would put me on the “make table,” where pizzas were put together before being put into the oven. A few days later, when I reported for my after-school shift, I saw my name penciled not in the “dishes” box but in the “make table” box. 5 A. I was excited. B. Some write on a chalkboard. C.

Once you have shoes, socks, something to listen to and something to clock your time, youre just about set. 1 Whether you choose a standard watch, a high-tech GPS watch or your iPhone doesnt matter.1. Choose a shoeDont be influenced by brand names. Instead, try on four or five running shoes, jog around the store and let your feet decide. In a sweeping reviewof the science on running shoes and injuries, researchers found that the most important feature of a running shoe is comfort.Thats it. 2 2. Choose a pair of socks 3 Blisters from unsuitable socks are painful and could affect you for days. You want a breathable, comfortable sock. Some running socks are made from a special material that draws moisture (湿气) away from your feet.Look for a sock without thick (or any) seams (缝) and decide if you want a no-show sock or one that covers the back of your ankle. 4 Test them out to see how they perform when you run and sweat before buying more pairs.3. Choose a playlistRunning should feel like a reward. If youre a runner who likes the quiet of running, then pick a quiet path and go run.

There are several guidelines that will make your selection easier. 1 Writers must consider their audiences because there is a relationship between the writing and the reader. An article in your school newspaper is meant for students and teachers, so it might casually mention people or locations that all the readers will recognize. If that same article were published in a national newspaper, though, it would need more details and explanation to help the new audience understand it. For persuasive writing, you might write for an audience that already agrees with you, or readers who are trying to make up their minds, or readers who totally disagree with your idea. 2 Tone A calm, professional tone is acceptable for almost any type of writing. When writing for class or tests, try to avoid jokes, or an overly personal tone. 3 If youre writing an essay about the Civil War, the tone will be much more serious. Be aware of the genre (类型) in which youre writing and of the audience youre writing for, and use a tone that will communicate most effectively.Word choice One important rule of diction (措辞) is to use words that you know. 4 It might even distract them from the point of the sentence. To create a smooth rhythm in your writing, remember to vary the length of your sentences. 5 Long sentences provide extended description or details. Your audience will also determine the words you use. When youre writing for your classmates, theyll probably share your vocabulary. You might need to choose different words when youre writing a letter to your grandparents. A. Know your audience B. Keep it clear and simpleC. Short sentences let the reader pause and think.D. A big word used incorrectly wont impress your readers.E. If not, youll need to include some explanation for unfamiliar words.F. If you are writing a funny story for the yearbook, youll want it to be humorous.G. Each of these audiences will require a different use of style, tone, and word choice.DWhere the Easter-egg tradition comes fromThe association between Easter and eggs runs deep. The hatching of a chick is both seasonally and metaphorically (比喻地) appropriate for a springtime holiday of rebirth. But the links origins could be a lot more ordinary. 1 . One possible origin: the strict fasting rules of the time, which banned eating any animal product during Lent (the period of 40 days before Easter). 2 . So Christians would hard-boil and store their eggs for later, according to Henry Kelly, a professor of medieval (中世纪的) studies at the University of California, Los Angeles. Some of those eggs would be given to the poor, and villagers brought them as Easter gifts to their manorial lords (领主). Eggs could also be brought to church as a Good Friday offering. 3 , at which point the household of Edward I brought 450 eggs to be colored or covered in gold leaf to be distributed, according to The Stations of the Sun: A History of the Ritual Year in Britain by Ronald Hutton. 4 , as colored
