Now Irene Astbury works from 9am to 5pm daily at the pet shop in Macclesfield, which she opened with her late husband Les. Her years of hard work have finally been acknowledged after a customer nominated (提名) her to be Cheshire’s Woman Of The Year. Picking up her “Lifetime Achievement” award, proud Irene declared she had no plans to retire from her 36-year-old business. Irene said, “I don’t see any reason to give up work. I love coming here and seeing my family and all the friends I have made over the years. I work not because I have to, but because I want to.” Granddaughter Gayle Parks, — who works alongside her in the family business — said it remained unknown as to who nominated Irene for the award. She said, “We don’t have any idea who put grandma forward. When we got a call saying she was short-listed, we thought it was a joke. But then we got an official letter and we were blown away. We are so proud of her. It’s wonderful.” 【关键词】A 90-year-old；“Woman Of The Year”； years of hard work 【主旨概要】本文是一篇记叙文，主要介绍了90岁高龄的Irene因一直坚持工作而被评为Woman Of The Year 【考纲词汇高频词精析】 1. award   /əˈwɔːd/  原文：A 90-year-old has been awarded “Woman Of The Year” for being Britain’s oldest full-time employee — still working 40 hours a week. 英国一名90岁的老人被评为“年度女性”，因为她是英国年龄最大的全职员工，目前每周工作40小时。 【常考词义】   [ C] 奖；奖品；奖金；奖状 to win/receive/get an award for sth 因某事赢得╱得到╱获得奖项 He was nominated for the best actor award. 他获得最佳演员奖提名。  an award presentation/ceremony 颁奖；颁奖仪式 【熟词新义】vt  授予；奖励；判给 He was awarded damages of ￡50 000. 他判得损害赔偿金5万英镑。 The judges awarded equal points to both finalists. 裁判判定决赛双方得分相等。  The judges awarded both finalists equal points. 裁判判定决赛双方得分相等。  2.acknowledge  v.   /əkˈnɒlɪdʒ/   原文：Her years of hard work have finally been acknowledged
