专题训练五 校园生活
Passage 1
Mahalya Daye is a student in Grade 8 at Lamberton Middle School in Pennsylvania, US. Every afternoon at 2 o'clock, she runs to a store at her school, she is not running to buy snacks. Instead, she works as the storekeeper and helps count change(零钱) for customers.
“I didn't know that it took so much work. I didn't do anything like this,” Mahalya told The Sentinel, a local newspaper.
In fact, she and another 11 students work as the storekeepers at Bison Bargains, the school's first studentrun store. It started on February 22, and it opens each school day during break time from 2 to 2∶30 p.m. It mainly sells stationery and snacks.
Through this, students see what a business is like. Christian Ilg, a 14yearold student, was really surprised by how hard it was to not make mistakes and do the transactions(交易). “It's kind of a challenge to learn all the information on the stock(供应物) lists and remember all the prices of the products,” Christian told the newspaper.
