第一篇:
Sarah left school at eighteen,went to college and then worked at a computer company.Four years later,she got a new job as a manager in British Airways(英国航空公司).This is what she told us about her job:
"My office is at Heathrow Airport,but I spend 60% of my time in the air.I teach air hostesses(空姐)and help them solve any problems."
"My hours are usually from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m.,but sometimes Iwork from 1p.m.to 9 p.m.At work,the fiest thing I do is to check plane times on my computer and then I speak with some of the air hostesses."
"Sometimes I go on long flights(飞行)to check how the air hostesses are doing.That's my favorite part of the job,but I like office work,too.Traveling can be hard work.When I get back from a long trip,all I can do is to eat something and then go to bed!I don't make much money,but I'm happy with British Airways and want to stay there and comtinue to travel."

One morning an old man left his house with six donkeys.
After a time,he got tired and got on one of them.He counted the donkeys and there were only five.So he got off and went to look for the sixth.He looked and looked,but he did not find it,so he went back to the donkeys and counted them again.To his surprise,this time there were six.So he got on one of them again and they started.

His friend said,"You are sitting on a donkey,too.This is the sixth.And you are the seventh!"
