After graduation, he joined the army and was sent to Yong’an Fire Station in Sanming City, Fujian. He went on thousands of rescue (营救) tasks and saved hundreds of people from fires with his team. Whenever the alarm bell went off, he was always the first to get out, jump onto the fire truck, and rush to the fire. On July 26, 2004, the fire station suddenly sounded an alarm bell at 10:15——a fire broke out in a factory. During this rescue, Xie Xiaohui got75 percent burns all over his body. The local hospital did its best to save Xie’s life. To avoid infection (感染), some good skin (皮肤) was needed to put onto his body. There was not much good skin on his body, so the doctors had to “rob Peter to pay Paul”. After going through hundreds of operations in the following three years, he joined a cycling club in order to get well from the operations. Later, he set up a cycling team to spread fire safety knowledge by cycling around. His team trained nearly 5,500 people within three years as they tried to raise fire safety awareness (意识) among people. Xie said he didn’t want to be treated differently as a hero, calling saving life the duty of a firefighter, and he could do more meaningful things. 1．What job did Xie Xiaohui take after graduation? ____________________________________________________ 2．What happened to him on the factory rescue task? ____________________________________________________ 3．What do the underlined words “rob Peter to pay Paul” in Paragraph 2 mean in Chinese? ____________________________________________________ 4．Why did he set up a cycling team? ____________________________________________________ 5．What do you think of Xie Xiaohui? ____________________________________________________ 04 What’s your job plan?

I must have to say that I came into nursing by chance. I didn’t really like my first job, which was office work. It was all right—but that’s just about all you can say about it. I stayed in the same place with the same people around me all day and every day. Then I became a singer, which I enjoyed very much. But after a while the singing group broke up (解散) and I had to start looking for something else. Some girls have wanted to be nursed ever since they were children, but it never entered my head until I saw an advertisement in a paper. I wrote in and thought. “Oh, well, I will give it a try.” One thing I liked about it was going away from home. The training itself is very interesting and most of it is just on the wards (病房), so that you very quickly begin nursing real patients. I lived in the nurses’ home when I arrived and I had my own room, which was very nice. I like nursing more than I ever thought I would. I’ll always carry on nursing. I have got a boy friend, who is a doctor, so I hope to get married sometime, but wherever I live there’s sure to be a hospital in the place and there is always a job for a nurse. 1．What was Joan’s first job? . 2．Why didn’t Joan like her first job? . 3．Why didn’t Joan go on with her second job? . 4．How did Joan find out the information about the nursing job? . 5．What was Joan’s plan for the future? . 09 Luke Anderson is blind and he can’t see anything.

But these days he has a problem. His brooms last so long that sometimes they are still good after four months. Then nobody needs to buy a new one. Mr. Anderson likes his job and is proud (自豪的) of his brooms. He picks up a new supply (供给) of brooms every week.

No one lives here without a dream,” said Chen Jianguo, a 35-year-old food deliveryman (送餐员) from a small and poor town. Chen Jianguo dreamed of having his own business in Beijing about 16 years ago. But his father asked him to take his place as a truck driver. Although Chen disliked the job, he didn’t want to make his father sad. He took the job as a truck driver. Then he got married and had a son. “I got quite good pay, but life was boring there during those years. Most of the time I had nothing to do.” said Chen. So Chen decided to give up his job and come to Beijing. His wife agreed that he should go for his dream. So did his son. Chen has been a food deliveryman for a month. He works for 15 hours every day and hardly has time for lunch at noon. “I want to give a better life to my wife and little son.” he said. “I must work harder and try to become the best food deliveryman at my station.” Chen likes his job because he can meet many different people.

I must have to say that I came into nursing by chance. I didn’t really like my first job, which was office work. It was all right—but that’s just about all you can say about it. I stayed in the same place with the same people around me all day and every day. Then I became a singer, which I enjoyed very much. But after a while the singing group broke up (解散) and I had to start looking for something else. Some girls have wanted to be nursed ever since they were children, but it never entered my head until I saw an advertisement in a paper. I wrote in and thought. “Oh, well, I will give it a try.” One thing I liked about it was going away from home. The training itself is very interesting and most of it is just on the wards (病房), so that you very quickly begin nursing real patients. I lived in the nurses’ home when I arrived and I had my own room, which was very nice. I like nursing more than I ever thought I would. I’ll always carry on nursing. I have got a boy friend, who is a doctor, so I hope to get married sometime, but wherever I live there’s sure to be a hospital in the place and there is always a job for a nurse. 1．What was Joan’s first job? . 2．Why didn’t Joan like her first job? . 3．Why didn’t Joan go on with her second job? . 4．How did Joan find out the information about the nursing job? . 5．What was Joan’s plan for the future? . 【答案】1．It was office work. 2．Because she didn’t like to stay in the same place with the same people around her all day and every day. 3．Because the singing group broke up. 4．She found an advertisement in a paper. 5．She hoped to get married sometime and went on her nursing job. 【导语】本文讲述了Joan偶然进入护理行业，并发现其乐趣，决定一直从事护理工作的事情。 1．根据“I didn’t really like my first job, which was office work.”可知，Joan的第一份工作是办公室工作。故填It was office work. 2．根据“I stayed in the same place with the same people around me all day and every day.”可知，Joan不喜欢第一份工作是因为她整天和同样的人待在同样的地方。故填Because she didn’t like to stay in the same place with the same people around her all day and every day. 3．根据“But after a while the singing group broke up”可知，Joan第二份工作不能继续是因为合唱团解散了。故填Because the singing group broke up. 4．根据“Some girls have wanted to be nursed ever since they were children, but it never entered my head until I saw an advertisement in a paper.”可知，Joan是从报纸上一则广告中得知护理工作信息的。故填She found an advertisement in a paper. 5．根据“I have got a boy friend, who is a doctor, so I hope to get married sometime, but wherever I live there’s sure to be a hospital in the place and there is always a job for a nurse.”可知，Joan希望自己将来某个时候能结婚，并且会继续自己的护理工作。故填She hoped to get married sometime and went on her nursing job. 09 Luke Anderson is blind and he can’t see anything.
