AI really love my job because I enjoy working with small children and like the challenges and awards from the job. I also think my work is important. There was a time when I thought I would never have that sort of career.I wasn’t an excellent student because I didn’t do much schoolwork. In my final term I started thinking about what I might do and found I didn’t have much to offer.I just accepted that I wasn’t the type to have a career.I then found myself a job, looking after two little girls. It wasn’t too bad at first. But the problems began when I agreed to live in, so that I would be there if my boss had to go out for business in the evening. We agreed that if I had to work extra hours one week, she’d give me time off the next. But unfortunately, it didn’t often work out. I was getting extremely tired and fed up, because I had too many late nights and early mornings with the children.One Sunday, I was in the park with the children, and met Megan who used to go to school with me. I told her about my situation. She suggested that I should do a course and get a qualification(资格证书) if I wanted to work with children. I didn’t think I would be accepted because I didn’t take many exams in school. She persuaded me to phone the local college. My experience counted for a lot and I got on a part-time course. I had to leave my job with the family, and got work helping out at a kindergarten.Now I’ve got a full-time job there. I shall always be thankful to Megan. I wish I had known earlier that you could have a career, even if you aren’t top of the class at school.21．What is the author’s present job?A．Working part-time in a college.B．Taking care of children for a family.C．Helping children with their schoolwork.D．Looking after children at a kindergarten.22．When staying with the two girls’family, the author .

And more than three quarters of those asked said they judged their peers(同龄人) based on what they saw on their Instagram, Snapchat or Facebook pages.The British survey, by smartphone maker HTC, found that, in order to make our own pages and lives appear more exciting, 6% also said they had borrowed items to include in the images in order to pass them off as their own. More than half of those surveyed said they posted images of items and places purely to show off, causing jealousy among friends and family.Behavioral psychologist Hemmings said the trend was unsurprising due to the rise of social media. “We’re living in a world of instant communication,” she said. “Fashion and style used to live and die in magazines; now people are in search of authentic(真实的), peer-to-peer recommendations as well, making social media an equal power house to magazines and newspapers.”“With images being shared in an instant we desire to know what our friends are wearing, or what super stars are buying, as soon as they have got them.” Such is the influence of social media sites like Instagram. 76% of those asked also said seeing items on social media influences them to buy them, with men more likely to take style advice and buy what they see.25.
