Theres no longer a particular year in which one goes to sch

18、ool or goes to work or gets married or starts a family. The social clock that kept us on time and told us when to go to school, get a job, or stop working isnt as strong as it used to be.

23、helpful child will turn into a terrible animal.Ive seen friends deal with it in all kinds of different ways. One strict mother insisted that her son, right from a child, should stand up whenever anyone entered the room, open doors and shake hands like a gentleman. I saw him last week when I called r

24、ound. Sprawling himself(懒散地躺) on the sofa in full length, he made no attempt to turn off the loud TV he was watching as I walked in, and his greeting was no more than a quick glance at me. His mother was ashamed. “I dont know what to do with him these days,”she said. “Hes forgotten all the manners w

25、e taught him.”He hasnt forgotten them. Hes just decided that hes not going to use them. She confessed(坦白) that she would like to come up behind him and throw him down from the sofa onto the floor.Another good friend of mine let her two daughters climb all over the furniture, reach across the tabel,

38、ou to take food from your father, because he has AIDS. Be careful when you are around him.”AIDS wasnt something we talked about in my country when I was growing up. From then on, I knew that this would be a family secret. My parents were not together anymore, and my dad lived alone. For a while, he

39、could take care of himself. But when I was 12, his condition worsened. My fathers other children lived far away, so it fell to me to look ater him.We couldnt afford all the necessary medication for him, and because Dad was unable to work, I had no money for school supplies and ofter couldnt even buy

ERecently, in the hope of earning both money and social experience, I became a door-to-door salesman.I once read a saying: “If somebody wants something of yours, you will be treated as warmly as spring, but if they dont, you may be treated as coldly as winter.” You m

47、ay consider this an exaggeration(夸张), but if you are a salesman, it is clearly correct.You would never have found it to be so true if you hadnt been a salesman. You neednt stand doubtful looks and unfriendly comments; you neednt listen to something completely wrong and not to say that it was quite r

48、ight; you neednt worry about being refused time after time; you neednt always keep patience and a smile; you neednt repeat the same sentences over and over again; you neednt talk to somebody you dislikeI did this work for a month, then I decided to give it up. Apart from the reasons above, I found I

49、 was paying too much attention to the job and thus sacrificing my study time. The latest test result proved that my grades were getting worse.Even worse, I hadnt enough time to join my classmates in college activities.

50、.

But according to my experience, part-time work can have s
