Margaret,married with two small children,has been working for the last seven years as a night cleaner,cleaning offices in a big building.
She trained as a nurse ,but had to give it up when her elder child became seriously ill.“I would have liked to go back to it ,but the shifts(工作班次)are all wrong for me,as I have to be home to get the children up and off to school.”
So she works as a cleaner instead,from 9 p.m.till 6 a.m.five nights a week for just £ 90,before tax and insurance.“It’s better than it was last year,but I still think that people who work‘unsocial hours’should get a bit extra.”
The hours she’s chosen to work mean that she sees plenty to the children,but very little of her husband.However,she doesn’t think that puts any pressure on their relationship.
Her work isn’t physically very hard,but it’s not exactly pleasant,either.“I do get angry with people who leave their offices like a place for raising pigs. If they realized people like me have to do it, perhaps they’d be a bit more careful.”
The fact that she’s working all night doesn’t worry Margaret at all, Unlike some dark buildings at night, the building where she works is fully lit, and the women work in groups of three, “Since I’ve got to be here, I try to enjoy myself－and I usually do, because of the other girls. We all have a good laugh, so the time never drags.”
Another challenge Margaret has to face is the reaction of other people when she tells them what she does for a living. “They think you’re a cleaner because you don’t know how to read and write, ” said Margaret. “I used to think what my parents would say if they knew what I’d been doing , but I don’t think that way any more. I don’t dislike the work though I can’t say I’m mad about it.”
61．Margaret quit her job as a nurse because ．
A．she wanted to earn more money to support her family
B．she had suffered a lot of mental pressure
C．she needed the right time to look after her children
D．she felt tired of taking care of patients
62．Margaret gets angry with people who work in the office because ．
A．they never clean their offices
B．they look down upon cleaners
C．they never do their work carefully
D．they always make a mess in their offices
63．When at work, Margaret feels ．
A．light-hearted because of her fellow workers
B．happy because the building is fully lit
C．tired because of the heavy workload
D．bored because time passes slowly
64．The underlined part in the last paragraph implies that Margaret’s parents would ．
A．help care for her children
B．regret what they had said
C．show sympathy for her
D．feel disappointed in her

One evening I went out and left my 17-year-old son in charge of his 8-year-old brother and 4-year-old sister. On this occasion, the task was made less troublesome by the presence of his girlfriend. I left with complete confidence that the older children would do a wonderful job of babysitting the younger children and the younger children would do a wonderful job of accompanying the older ones. Later, I discovered that complete confidence was the last thing I should have left home with.
I had decided to return home earlier than planned so that my son and his girlfriend could go out. I called home with this happy news. But instead of hearing his cheerful, grateful voice on the other end of the line, all I heard was the sound of a telephone ringing.
It was, I should point out, after 10 p.m., when the two younger children should have been in bed, and when the two older children should have been answering the phone. “I’ll give him a lesson,” I said. I decided they must be outside. Why they might be outside at 10:30 on a wintry night I had no idea, but it was the only explanation I could come up with.
Finally, in desperation, I called his girlfriend’s house. After what seemed like countless rings, his girlfriend answered. “Yes,” she said brightly, “He’s right here.”
He came on the phone. I was not my usual calm, rational self. After all, one of the rules of survival for modern parents is that you can’t trust modern teenagers. “Where are the children?” I said. He said they were with him. They had done nothing wrong. My son had taken the younger children over to his girlfriend’s house just for ice cream and cake. This was too favorable to be believed. Well, it turned out that I shouldn’t have believed it. It was only part of the truth.
The following Saturday evening we were at my parents’ home, celebrating my birthday. My oldest son gave me the children’s gifts. Mounted(裱装) and framed were a series of lovely color photographs of my children, dressed in their best clothes, and wearing their most wonderful expressions. They are pictures to treasure a lifetime, all taken by the father of my son’s girlfriend.
That was the most precious gift of all.
【小题1】Shortly after the author left home one evening, she discovered that ____.
| A．her son had brought his girlfriend home |
| B．the father of her son’s girlfriend had come to her home to take photos of the children |
| C．she shouldn’t have completely trusted her son |
| D．she should have taken the children along with her |
| A．the two younger children have been in bed |
| B．the older children have been answering the phone |
| C．the author will give her older son a lesson |
| D．the older son has gone outside with his girlfriend |
| A．had a birthday party | B．framed some photographs |
| C．had their pictures taken | D．showed off their best clothes |
| A．Puppy Love | B．Brotherhood |
| C．Mother and Children | D．A Precious Birthday Gift |
