一 Someone has__________ out in the office. Let's call 120.

    My father was born in a poor village in the north of Jiangsu, China. When he was a young boy, he went to school in the morning, and then 1 in the fields till sunset. And then he did his homework until midnight. Life was hard, because they had no 2!

    At the age of 14, my father heard of the United States of America. It was the 3 of gold, the land where poor people can become rich.

   “Why don't I go to America?” he thought to himself, full of 4.

    So, my father came to America. “I had thought it was easy to 5 money in America.” he told me. “But when I arrived there, I realized it's not 6. They didn't like to hire(雇佣) me because I spoke little English. Later, I worked in a small restaurant, cleaning up tables, 7 dishes and sweeping the floor. Life was hard for the first few years. I worked from 10 a. m. to 11 p. m. I wanted to go to school to learn English, but it's impossible. I couldn't 8 the schooling(学费).”

    My father 9 working hard，and reached his goal.

  “Alan,” he often told me. “If you want something, you have to work for it and never give up. Things do not come  10 in life.” That's what I learned from my father.

    The Internet can show you lots of jobs all over the world. If you want to find a job on the Internet, use the words “job search” or “employment(职业)” to find the websites you need. Type in what and where you want to work. In a few seconds, a list of jobs will appear on the screen. You can also type in the name of a company to learn about jobs there. Many websites list full-time and summer jobs.

    Job search websites can help you in other ways, too. They show you how to write a good resume(履历) and how to get ready for an interview. They also tell you what to say to an interviewer on the telephone. Some websites give you interview conversations to practise. One website even has a dictionary of interview words. A good employment website can be a big help in your job search.

    Good luck with your job-hunting.

— Yeah. She's always so confident.

一 Work hard and I believe they‘’ll surely make it.

一 No. It's not a stranger. It's Mike's father.

      Reality TV (真人秀电视节目 ) is very popular in the UK. These programmes give us a good look into the lives of different people in Britain. Also they are a very cheap way to make programmes. Here are some of them.

Strictly Come Dancing

In the show some famous people learn to dance with a professional dancer. Four professional dance experts give them scores and comments (评论) about their dances. After that, the public vote(投票) for their favourite couple. The two least favourite have to dance again and the judges decide who stays in the competition and who leaves. This show is very popular with people of all ages in the UK.

Come Dine with Me

      Each week four people prepare dinner in their home for the other players. Each player then gives the cook a grade out of 10 for the food. The winner gets￡1,000. Sometimes the food is terrible and the players are very rude to each other.

World's Strictest Parents

      Badly behaved British teens are sent abroad to live with a super strict family for a week. The teenagers have to follow the rules of their host family and go to the local school. After seven days the teenagers return home and their parents tell us whether their behaviour is better or not. There is often a lot of cries and shouts in this show but it can be worth watching too.
