One Sunday a few of us decided to take advantage of the first sunny day we’d have for ages to take a trip down to the coast to visit the penguins again. Last time I went down there was a couple of months ago and it was a dull cold day. Sunday couldn’t have been more different — clear skies and sunshine made it feel like summer, although it was still -25°C.
Six of us drove to the coast. It was the first time we’d been off the base on our own without our field assistant, so it had a slightly different feeling — more like a few friends going to the seaside than an Antarctic field trip! When we reached Windy Creek, we luckily caught sight of quite a few small flying seabirds, which are seldom seen there.
Once on the sea ice we found that some of the more curious penguins had wandered over from the main group to come and check us out. We’d been told that then they were nursing their chicks (刚孵出的幼雏) and they would be more careful and nervous than last time, but that didn’t seem to be the case. We walked across to the main group which were stretched for a couple of miles along the coast. We sat down for some sandwiches and soon found ourselves surrounded by many curious observers. Without any attackers on land, they were very brave and came within a meter of us to pose (摆姿势) for photos.
Before heading back, we spent a few hours on the sea ice watching the penguins and their chicks, which had grown dramatically (明显地) since our last visit. It was such a nice day.
【小题1】

A.On a dull Sunday.B.On a warm Sunday.

It can be inferred from the second paragraph that the six people _____.
A.felt a little nervous
B.felt a little excited

What does the writer mean by saying “but that didn’t seem to be the case”?
A.They were told a lie.
B.A wrong decision was made.
C.The truth was the opposite.
D.They didn’t believe what they were told.
【小题4】

A.feed the penguins
B.take pictures of the penguins
C.enjoy watching flying seabirds
D.watch the young penguins

Chances

I really love my job because I enjoy working with small children and like the challenges and awards from the job. I also think my work is important. There was a time when I thought I would never have that sort of career(职业).

I wasn't an excellent student because I didn't do much schoolwork. In my final term I started thinking what I might do and found I didn't have much to offer. I just accepted that I wasn't the type to have a career.

I then found myself a job, looking after two little girls. It wasn't too bad at first. But the problems began when I agreed to live in, so that I would be there if my boss had to go out for business in the evening. We agreed that if I had to work extra hours one week, she'd give me time off the next. But unfortunately, it didn't often work out. I was getting extremely tired and fed up, because I had too many late nights and early morning with the children.

One Sunday, I was in the park with the children, and met Megan who used to go to school with me. I told her about my situation. She suggested that I should do a course and get a qualification(资格证书)if I wanted to work with children. I didn't think I would be accepted because I didn't take many exams in school. She persuaded me to phone the local college and they were really helpful. My experience counted for a lot and I got on a part­time course. I had to leave my job with the family, and got work helping out at a kindergarten.

Now I've got a full­time job there. I shall always be thankful to Megan. I wish I had known earlier that you could have a career, even if you aren't top of the class at school.

1.What is the author's present job?

A.Working part­time in a college.

B.Helping children with their schoolwork.

C.Looking after children at a kindergarten.

D.Taking care of children for a family.

2.When staying with the two girls' family, the author________.

A.was paid for extra work

B.got much help from her boss

C.took a day off every other week

D.often worked long hours

3.Why did the author leave her first job?

A.She decided to attend a part­time course.

B.She found a full­time job.

C.She was fed up with children.

D.She needed a rest after working extra hours.

4.What has the author learned from her own experiences?

A.Qualifications are necessary for a career.

B.Hard work makes an excellent student.

C.One must choose the job she likes.

D.Less successful students can still have a career.
