 Three years ago,I worked in London for half a year. It was the first time I went there,so I didn't know the way. I always needed some help. But I found some Englishmen couldn't help me.

  One day, I wanted to go to a post office. I asked an old man about the way. u Excuse me. Is there a post office near here?" 1 asked. The old man turned back,looked at me and said something quickly. When he found I couldn't understand him,he took out a piece of paper and wrote down "Sorry,I dorft know. I'm new here.""Thank you all the same," I said to him and walked on. Another man was on the street. He was walking busily. A big broom (扫景) was in his hand. I went to him and asked, "Excuse me. Where is the nearest post office,please?" He didn't answer me carefully and clearly "I am foreigner (外国人) ,"1 said. This time,he showed me the way more slowly. But I couldn't understand him,either. My teacher never spoke English like that.

I'm a 43-year-old mother of three young kids with a Master of Science degree (理学硕士) . I also deliver (递送) pizzas for a living. I stated doing it after staying home with my children for four years. Caring for kids all day is a good opportunity for many women,but it wasn't right for me. I began suffering from depression and decided to get a job so I'd have more of my own world. Now I work nights when my husband is home,so we don't have to depend on a child care center.

After I learned the basic skills of pizza delivery―like getting the orders together and not getting lost―I began my new "career".

Our community (社区) had a small expensive college full of students who ordered lots of pizzas. Most of the kids were friendly and polite. On Friday and Saturday nights,some of the dorms (宿舍) had huge parties. Though the stairs were sticky from beer and the music was so loud that they couldn't hear me knock on the door,the crowds of happy students shouting "Pizza!Pizza!" always let me through.

The first few days of each month,one of us drivers would take our turn to cover the publichousing developments. These customers did not always tip well,but I always liked seeing the children and adults sitting outside and enjoying the evenings when the weather was nice.

I also deliver to homes of rich people now,but the amount I make in tips has stayed the same. As I drive up to these beautiful houses,it's easy to imagine a generous tip. The person who answers the door always looks young and,like the members of my own family,highly educated. All I usually get is a brief "Thank you" and a dollar or two.

People might say I'm crazy to waste my education,but I have what most of them don't― a job I love.

(   ) 11. Many people think it is a waste for the writer to deliver pizzas because

   A. she was born in a rich family

   B. she is not good at her job

   C. she is highly educated

   D. her husband has made much money

(   ) 12. From this passage we learn that         .

   A. the writer likes staying at home caring for her children

   B. the writer works in a college

   C. the writer's husband usually works during the day

   D. the writer's children are usually sent to a child care center in the day

(   ) 13. It is very clear that         

   A. most of the students were not friendly to them

   B. on weekends some students like holding parties

   C. the writer makes more tips from homes of rich people

   D. the writer didn't go to college

(   ) 14. The words "a generous tip" probably mean "         

   A. a big end   B. some money for service

   C. some beautiful words   D. some money for sales

(   ) 15. We can infer from this passage the writer -

   A. is a mother of three children

   B. loves her work very much

   C. thinks getting pleasure from work is very important

   D. has to make a living by delivering pizzas
