Dear Ms. Librarian (图书管理员),
I don’t know if you still remember me. Perhaps you don’t. After all, I am only one of the many people, at one time or another, who you have helped.
I don’t remember your face as clearly as I wish I could, but I do remember how you looked at me. I was nine years old and standing at your desk, not for a book but for hope, for a path (道路) forward. 1. 我记得你带着微笑,温暖地看着我。I just felt I was safe staying with you.
You were always there—a kind, supportive lady. 2. When I asked you a question, you would do your best to answer it patiently. When I felt confused (困惑的) because life seemed to be harder than I had imagined it could be, I would go to you. You would always calm (使平静) me down by sharing your love for books with me. 3. You would always help me find way out.
4. 我不知道如何感谢你,但是我会尽力。Thank you for letting me understand that books can be like medicine. Thank you for knowing that sometimes, people come to you not for books at all. You are not just a librarian. You are also a carer, a social worker, a teacher, among the many other roles you have served in your time.
5. How lucky I was to meet you! It’s you who completely changed my life. I am grateful (感激的) for all the help you have offered.

24、 Making a good job choice is almost the same as choosing a good life. So, choosing a job is one of the most important decisions to make in life. For my job, there are three important things that I will consider.
The first one and also the most important one is that I must work in an area I like. If you find a job that you enjoy, then you won't feel that you're working at all. I would like to work in an area where I can be more creative. I would like to be the most important member there. All this is possible only if I like what I do.
The second one is that the area of my work must lead me to solve some new and hard problems. I would like to stay in the same area for a long time, so the work must provide enough problems. More than just working to live, I enjoy making a difference and trying my best to do it. In order to do that, I may spend more time and energy on my job, so I would also like to be well remunerated for my hard work. Then I can live a comfortable life with this hard﹣won money and provide the best for my family.
The third important thing is that I would like to work in an area that would help other people, such as the army, training or schools. In such areas, I can help to develop the abilities of others and bring out their best. It would be a satisfying job to help young people to become the best that they can be. When I become old, I would like to look back with a great sense of satisfaction that thousands of people have become better persons through my work.
All in all, everyone should keep trying his best and making many preparations to get the dream job. He should decide what he wants to be. Then, he should decide how he works towards it. He should study the proper courses, read the books and speak to knowledgeable persons in that field.

His father got a bit upset and replied, “Why do you ask such a thing?” The boy said, “I just want to know. Please tell me.” His father then said that he made about $50 an hour.
“Oh,” the little boy replied with his head down.

American high school students usually spend about eight hours sleeping. And it often takes them eight hours to do school-related activities, including one hour for homework. 【1】?
