高一必修1 Unit 2復習資料
taking care of lawns was not exciting or high-paying,but that didn’t matter. it taught me that any job was a good job and that whatever i was paid was more than i had before.
a newspaper reporter once asked me how someone could possibly live on a forty-hour-a-week minimum(最低的)pay. “my father never worked just forty hours a week,and neither have i,”i replied. “if you’re only working forty hours,you probably don’t want to do any better than you’re doing.”
in every job i’ve held from doing lawns to washing dishes,i have learned something that helped me in my next job. if you work hard enough,you can learn from any job you do.

what would school be like without head teachers? could students look after themselves,or would they be lost?
you can find the answer in chang chun,jilin. at the no.1 middle school of changchun’s first automobile factory,students are doing fine without a head teacher.
from april 6,all 18 junior 2 classes at the school have not had head teachers. the school hopes students will learn to take care of themselves this way.
"it seems like no one is taking care of us,"said li huanyu from class 9.
but the 14-year-old girl said she wasn’t worried at all.
"now we know it’s up to us to look after our own class."
li’s class now has a student committee(委員會)of nine students. the committee made some new rules for the class.
some students often copy others’ homework. so one rule says that if people let others copy them,they will be punished,not the people who copy. the rule has worked well,and now students do their own homework.
