One winter morning I bought a copy of the New York World and turned its pages until I got the “Help Wanted Unskilled” section.A small advertisement held my 36 .It read, “Easy job.Good wages.No experience 37 .” It sounded like the job I was 38 .Easy job.Good wages.Those four words 39 now and then in my brain as I was traveling to the address indicated in the 40 .Easy job.Good wages.Easy job.Good wages.Easy ...
When I got to the place I saw a series of large 41 half filled with water, out of which I noticed 42 the necks of many bottles of various sizes and shapes. 43 these basins there were a number of workers sitting on small wooden benches.All had their 44 in the water of the basin, the left hand holding a 45 and the thumb nail of the right hand scratching(刮;擦) the labels on 46 .
I sat down on a 47 beside one of the basins and started to work on one bottle.As the minutes went by I noticed that the 48 of the water started to 49 from my hand to my body.But 50 still, the delicate thumb of my right hand was 51 by the minute into a full?? blown tomato?? colored finger.A numb(麻木的)pain began to be felt 52 from my right thumb.Then I began to feel as if the pain was coming from a finger bigger than all my body.
After three hours of this I told the manager I’d 53 .He figured I had 54 69 cents at 23 cents an hour.With the money, I left the working place.“Easy job.Good wages.” came to my brain again.Looking at my hands, I 55 myself, “Can easy job get good wages?”

As a third-year high school student, I feel that students today study English merely for the purpose of getting high scores in all sorts of so-called English exams. This phenomenon misleads students like my classmates into making a great effort to deal with English exams, not the rich language itself. Needless to say, it is unfortunate.
I started the voyage in the ocean of the English language at an early age. Being fed up with reciting each word taught in every class, I soon gained the idea that English was a bore! Luckily for me, under the vivid pen of Charlotte Bronte, the life of Jane Eyre touched me so much that I spent several sleepless nights to read the whole book. This marked the change of my attitude to-wards English from hating to loving. I began to be inspired by the wisdom of European and American literature written in English and was amazed by the beauty and richness of the language. As time went by, the more I read, the more I found English lovely. I could still remember one winter vacation when I raced into one school library to borrow my longed-for English novels. At night, when soft light spread on the pages, my expecting heart beat with the author's. I was so eager to get on with my reading that I could hardly sleep. My world had come alive! I was 16 at the time.
Now, I am often asked why I read so many“useless”things in English and how to study English well. My response would be,“Learn English as a language, not as an exam subject.”Then, I caught sight of disappointing eyes and doubts. Indeed, that's what I concluded from my study of the English language. Honestly, to me, English is truly a magic box that can grab my soul and absorb my entire mind. It's filled with wisdom and adventures which are hard to explain and share. I believe many people would agree with me and be sorry for the present situation of high school English teaching. So I'd like to call Upon English learners and friends to save our beloved English from being misconducted.
(1) What makes the author feel unsatisfied in studying English?
[ ]
A.The writer's starting learning English too early.
B.The incorrect aim of studying English.
C.The boring English.
D.The“useless”things on English.
(2) What brought the writer interest in English again?
[ ]
(3) When do you think the writer read the English literature?
[ ]
(4) Who does the writer think are to blame for the unfortunate English study?
[ ]
