When people introduce themselves,I always hear them say "I'm just a housewife".I don't understand why their introduction is always filled with regret and self-pity.Is it,really a crime to be a housewife?Is it really embarrassing when you choose not to work outside and instead choose to work in your home?
How could you be "just a housewife" when the basic social unit of society depends on you and your service?A housewife works for the longest hour,supporting your husband,child studies,caring for elders,managing finances, paying bills,grocery shopping,cooking according to individual taste,cleaning,etc.A housewife could be anyone: daughter,wife,mother,teacher,financial advisor,fashion designer and nurse,gardener,driver,cook,and so on.Don't think you are not being paid for it.You get the reward that no money can offer—the love and affection of your family,their trust for you,a happy home and your own satisfaction.
It is you who choose to be in this occupation,willingly or for any other reason.After a busy day,all wait to return to the comfortable home set by you.They know you will be there to absorb all their stress and tiredness and relax them.Would the life have been the same had you been working outside to earn some money?Would you along with your family have been able to buy all the content in life that you are enjoying now with that money?
Respect yourself for what you are.Introduce yourself to the world with the same dignity.The world understands the importance of your job;it's time to make them accept it.Introduce yourself with pride and with twinkle in your eyes "I am a housewife".Kick that "just" out..

A
My first day of high school was like any other’s: registering, finding new classmates, meeting new teachers, and seeking new friends.
During lunch, I ran into my first snag(困难) of the day. At the dining hall, as the checkout(付款处) lady asked for my money, I realized that I had forgotten my lunch money. When I told her about it, I heard a voice behind me. I turned around and there stood a teacher telling her he would pay for my lunch. He told me his name, Mr Pete Walker, and said, ＂If you get a chance, you should take my history class.＂ I recognized his name, and told him I was in his class later that day. Mr Walker befriended me on the very first day of school at a very crucial time of the day — lunch!
He always told us we should do more than we ever thought. He pushed us to do all things better. He coached many sports, and sponsored many after-class activities. If we were interested in something, he would find a way to expose us to it by inviting speakers, taking us on field trips, or obtaining information for us.
Two years later, my junior year in school was clicking along nicely when one day I was riding my motorcycle and I was hit by a car. I spent six days in hospital and was at home in bed for two weeks before returning to school. Mr Walker stopped by the hospital each day with my work from my teachers. Once I was at home, he would bring my work too.
After high school, I attended the United States Army Airborne School in Fort Benning, Georgia. I knew my parents would be there the day I graduates, but they brought an unexpected guest. They came across Mr Walker at lunch several days before and told him I was about to graduate. His visit, however, was not a surprise to me.
1.At the dining hall, .
A. the lady didn’t want to charge the author for his lunch
B. the author knew Mr Walker was right behind him
C. Mr Walker didn’t know the author was his student
D. the author decided to invite Mr Walker to lunch
2. The story in Paragraph 4 showed that Mr Walker was .
A. caring B. strict C. skilled D. learned
3.What happened on the author’s graduation day?
A. His parents met Mr Walker by chance.
B. His family invited Mr Walker to lunch.
C. Mr Walker brought an unexpected guest.
D. His parents came together with Mr Walker.
4. What can we infer from the last sentence of the passage?
A. The author had invited Mr Walker to his graduation ceremony.
B. The author’s parents had informed him of Mr Walker’s visit.
C. Mr Walker had a very close relationship with his students.
D. Mr Walker went to visit the author frequently.
