Jim went to school to study history, but when he finished his first year, he didn't pass the exam and the teacher said to him, “You have to leave school.”

When the boy's father heard this news, he was much worried. He came to the school to see the teacher. He found the teacher in the office and asked the teacher to let Jim go on with his studies the next year.

“He is a good boy. He always does well in history,” said Jim's father, “and if you let him pass the exam this time, he will do better next year and pass the exam.”

 “No, no, that's impossible!” answered the teacher, “Last month I asked him when Napoleon（拿破仑）died and he didn't know.”

“Please sir, give him another chance.” said Jim's father, “You know we don't have any newspapers in our house, so nobody in our family knew that Mr. Napoleon was ill.”

    "Be proud of what you do," my father always told me, "whether you are a boss or a cleaner." When I was 15, I got a summer job in a hospital. I was told that my duties would include sweeping floors. I smiled and remembered Dad's words.

    Even though my job was the lowest, it made me feel excited. I saw it as a challenge because it was my first job. I learned to be on time and tried to do everything well. In return, I was treated with respect(尊敬) by doctors, nurses and patients. Each morning I imagined that the dirty dishes would make patients sicker if I were not there to wash them clean. After breakfast was done, I started sweeping the floors of all patient rooms and cleaning toilets. Though I was tired, I wanted the job to be done well. People would say, "That young boy really does a good job." That gave me pride.

    Working in the hospital taught me that being proud of one's job is important. It does not matter whether the job is sweeping floors or managing a large business. Through every job I have ever had, my father's words have always stayed with me. I have swept floors, and I have been a manager. I think Dad would be proud of me.

Last Friday, a club festival was held in our school

①You want to go on holiday, but don't have enough money for luxury hotels and expensive trips? Backpacking might be right up your street. 

②Backpacking is a very cheap kind of travel. European and American students and young adults who may not have all that much money often do it. It is called backpacking because, instead of using a suitcase, people put all their things in a large backpack. A backpack sits on your back, and you pack all your clothes inside. 

③The most popular places for backpacking are Southeast Asia and South America. These countries aren't very expensive, and are also very hot for most of the year. India and Australia are also very popular. Last year over 400, 000 backpackers hit Australia. 

④Backpacking, in fact, is much more than a holiday—for young people in Europe, it is seen as a way of learning about the world. Backpackers often travel alone for many months, as this is seen as more of an adventure and challenge. Beyond finding new worlds, backpacking, people say, is all about "finding yourself". 

Song Yanru begins her day of work early in the morning, sorting and loading(装载) packages. 

Working as a courier(快递员) in the countryside, she needs to drive 200 kilometers to visit faraway {#blank#}1{#/blank#} almost every day. 

In February, several companies, led by ZTO Express, set up express delivery sites in 19 villages of Nitun,  {#blank#}2{#/blank#} local people with convenience to send and receive packages. And Song is responsible for sending and collecting packages {#blank#}3{#/blank#} all the 19 villages. 

"In the past, I had to go to the town to {#blank#}4{#/blank#} packages. But now I can {#blank#}5{#/blank#} get the clothing sent by my daughter from the city, " says Mrs. Wang, while receiving her package from Song. 

"Things are much {#blank#}6{#/blank#} these days. So I bought a lot online during the recent mid-year online shopping festival, " Mrs. Wang says. 

"The express delivery service(快递服务） is now available in 89 villages, which is almost 85 {#blank#}7{#/blank#} of the total villages, in Yangqu County. And the number of packages delivered to these villages has jumped about 300 percent {#blank#}8{#/blank#} February, " says a manager of ZTO Express. 

It is getting dark. Song unloads the last package and says goodbye {#blank#}9{#/blank#} the villagers. She heads back toward the town, carrying packages to be sent to places across the county. 

 {#blank#}10{#/blank#} it is not easy to be a courier in the countryside, Song believes that it is a meaningful experience to be able to provide convenience for those in need. 

In the modern society(社会), it is common to see people wearing ties and hats. But at one time, wearing ties and hats was the symbol of social position(社会地位)in England. Not all people wore them. 

A farmer or a common worker never wore ties or hats. Only those who used their brains(大脑)to make a living wore ties and hats. Wearing ties and hats showed you were a professional(专业人员)and full of knowledge. At the same time, it showed you had a high social position. If a man wanted to find a job, he had to wear them. It was hard for a man to find a job if he didn't wear a tie or a hat. 

Until 1960s, it was common for men across the western world to wear hats and ties as part of their business uniforms. But things changed later. President Kennedy(肯尼迪总统) never wore a hat and he didn't like a tie, either. People seldom saw him wearing them. Seeing that the president didn't have them, millions of other men imitated him. They also took off ties and hats. 

Nowadays, people still wear ties and hats. But they are only decorations. Anyone can wear them if he or she likes. What will they be like in the future? No one can guess.
