Good cooks understand what people need and try their best to make meals enjoyable. Eating nice food makes people feel warm and happy. Teachers are also important. They not only teach knowledge but also care about students’ growth. Good teachers listen to students patiently and encourage them to be better. They help teenagers build their dreams and become useful people in the future. These jobs may not seem exciting, but they are necessary. Every job has its value.

Homes are broken down, and thousands of people die. Smoke-jumpers are helping to stop this. Smoke-jumpers are a special kind of firefighter. They jump from planes into areas that are difficult to reach by car or on foot, like the middle of a mountain forest. The idea of jumping out of planes to fight wildfires first came up in the 1930s and became popular in the 1940s. At a fire site, smoke-jumpers first examine the land and decide how to fight the fire. Their main goal is to stop fire from spreading. Using basic tools such as shovels and axes, smoke-jumpers clear land of burnable material like plants and other dry material. They carry water with them too, but not much. Although most smoke-jumpers are men, more women are joining. Most important are your weight and height. Smoke-jumpers in the U. S., for example, must be 54 to 91 kilograms, so they don’t get hurt when they land, or get blown by strong winds. Smoke-jumpers must be able to live in the wilderness (荒野). In Russia, many smoke-jumpers know how to find food in the forest and even make simple furniture (家具) from trees. The work is dangerous, and the hours are long. But for these firefighters, smoke-jumpers isn’t just a job. They love being able to jump out of planes, fight fires, and live in the forest.

These people keep our life normal and safe, though we seldom think about their hard work. Street cleaners get up very early every morning, even on cold winter days. They clean the roads, collect rubbish and keep our cities tidy. Without them, our environment would be dirty and terrible. They work quietly and ask for little in return. Another important job is a cook. Cooks prepare healthy and delicious food for us every day. They spend long hours in hot kitchens. Good cooks understand what people need and try their best to make meals enjoyable. Eating nice food makes people feel warm and happy. Teachers are also important. They not only teach knowledge but also care about students’ growth. Good teachers listen to students patiently and encourage them to be better. They help teenagers build their dreams and become useful people in the future. These jobs may not seem exciting, but they are necessary. Every job has its value. The world needs different kinds of hard-working people. We should learn to respect every job and every person who works hard. 1. What is the passage mainly about? A．How to find a highly paid job.

But a group of people can be close to pandas every day. They are panda keepers! You may envy (嫉妒) them. But behind their job is a lot of sweat and hard work. The job of panda keepers is very detailed. For example, besides feeding pandas bamboo, the keepers also give them fruits and vegetables.

Other everyday jobs include cleaning the pandas’ living places, checking their poop and making notes. Also, to keep an eye on pandas, the keepers are on duty even at night. Doing the same things day by day may be tiring and boring. But it is their love of pandas that makes the long time worthwhile (值得的). “I will always be by their side and protect them,” said Zhang Yue, a panda keeper in Chengdu. 1.

Homes are broken down, and thousands of people die. Smoke-jumpers are helping to stop this. Smoke-jumpers are a special kind of firefighter. They jump from planes into areas that are difficult to reach by car or on foot, like the middle of a mountain forest. The idea of jumping out of planes to fight wildfires first came up in the 1930s and became popular in the 1940s. At a fire site, smoke-jumpers first examine the land and decide how to fight the fire. Their main goal is to stop fire from spreading. Using basic tools such as shovels and axes, smoke-jumpers clear land of burnable material like plants and other dry material. They carry water with them too, but not much. Although most smoke-jumpers are men, more women are joining. Most important are your weight and height. Smoke-jumpers in the U. S., for example, must be 54 to 91 kilograms, so they don’t get hurt when they land, or get blown by strong winds. Smoke-jumpers must be able to live in the wilderness (荒野). In Russia, many smoke-jumpers know how to find food in the forest and even make simple furniture (家具) from trees. The work is dangerous, and the hours are long. But for these firefighters, smoke-jumpers isn’t just a job. They love being able to jump out of planes, fight fires, and live in the forest. As 28-year-old Russian smoke-jumpers Alex Smith says, “This is the best job for the strong and brave people.” 1. Smoke-jumper are a special kind of . 2. The place where smoke-jumpers jump from: . 3.
