Then,in the afternoon,when Aunt Kate and my two cousins arrived,2 was ready. Before we went to bed,we left some wine and meat for Father Christmas,and then put our 3 at the end of our beds. We tried to keep 4 as long as possible to see Father Christmas,but the next thing we knew was 5 ,Christmas morning!
We couldn’t wait to 6 the stocking. It was now full of all kinds of small presents and sweets. Christmas morning was bright and sunny. After going to church,my cousin David and I went out into the garden to 7 our new presents. Lunch was always late,but what a lunch!Delicious turkey with all the vegetables was followed by fruits and ice creams.
After lunch,Father,Mother and Aunt rested on the sofas in front of the Queen’s speech on TV. We took out the toys,put on the funny paper hats,laughed at the jokes and played 8 .
Then came the afternoon tea and a large Christmas cake covered with snowmen. It did not seem possible,but we still went on eating. By bedtime,all the children were very 9 . As soon as Mom 10 the light,we all fell into a deep sleep.

“ Find a job you love，and you’ll never work a day in your life. ”Do you agree with this old saying? Joanne Gordon does. She is the author of Be Happy at Work and other books about careers (职业).

She wants to help people who do not feel satisfied (满意的)with their jobs find work that is good for them. Joanne says, “ There are no happy jobs,only happy workers. ” She believes that happy workers share three main characteristics (特点).
First,happy workers enjoy the daily activities of their jobs,and they look forward to the workday. Take I Tony Hawk for example. At age 14，he became a professional skateboarder.

He once said，“ My younger son’s pre-school class was recently asked what their dads do for work. My son said, ‘ I’ve never seen my dad do work. ” Tony agrees that his job doesn’t look like work. He has found a way to spend ( each day doing a job he enjoys.
Second,happy workers like the people they work 冬 with. Sally Ayote says, “I work with the coolest people in the world. ” She and her group cook for almost 1,200 people in Antarctica. Most of these people are scientists ( who are doing research. Sally loves to sit and talk with T them. She says, “There is no television here,no radio,
so I get to know the scientists and what they’re studying. ” Sally thinks she has a great job,and the best part of it is the people.
Third,happy workers know that their work helps others. Caroline Baron’s work helps people who have had to leave their home countries because of war or other | dangers. She is a filmmaker who started an organization called Film Aid,which shows movies in refugee (难民）十 camps around the world. Caroline believes that movies I can be very helpful in these camps. For one thing,
entertaining movies let refugees forget their troubles for a little while. Movies can also teach important subject like health and safety. For example,in one camp,thousands f of refugees saw a movie about how to get clean water. Caroline knows that she is helping other people,and this j work makes her feel proud and happy about her work. Tony Hawk,Sally Ayote,and Caroline Baron all get great satisfaction from their work. Tony Hawk says,I “ Find the thing you love. If you are doing what you love,there is much more happiness there than being rich or famous. ” Joanne Gordon would agree. She encourages people to find something they enjoy doing,find people they like to work with,and find ways to help others. Then they can be proud of what they do,and they will probably be happy at work.
