I am a student of Grade 8. I love the National Day holiday a lot, because I can have a good rest and do many things I enjoy. How did I spend the seven-day holiday last year? I didn’t travel or visit friends. Instead, I found a part-time job.

That was the first time I had been a waiter (服务员). It was harder than I had thought. At first, I was not good at the job, and I nearly spilt the soup on a woman’s dress. Some people were very unfriendly, and they got angry with me because of my mistakes. I was so sad and tired that I was almost ready to give up the first afternoon.

A family with three children came to have dinner the next day. The children were asking for things all the time. I tried my best to serve them well. Then the father said to me, “Good job! Thank you very much for helping us.” His words were just like a light in the dark. My tiredness suddenly went away. In the following days, I got used to the job little by little, and I had fun working in the restaurant.

When I got the money at last, I felt very happy. The experience taught me that many jobs are not easy. Everyone is great when they are working hard. The most important thing I learned is how much praise (称赞) matters to people. It can give us lots of strength (力量) . I think my National Day holiday last year was interesting and meaningful.

A．got lots of strength B．got very angry and upset

C．decided to give up the job D．knew his own mistakes

39．What did the writer learn from his experience during the last National Day holiday?

A．Praise is very important to people. B．Some jobs are easier than they look.

C．Everyone should work hard at their job. D．Everyone in the restaurant is unfriendly.

61．Dear Mr. Dai,

I know you are an expert on teenagers’ problems, so I write to tell you something about my good friend Xiaoxin.

She is a student of Grade Eight. She is so busy with studies every day that she has no time to take exercise. What’s more, she feels physics is the most difficult subject of all. She doesn’t have good grades in physics. She also has another problem. The monitor Xiaoming invited her to watch game shows, but she has to get ready for the coming math exam. She really worries a lot. Can you give her some advice? Thank you for your help!

      Yours,

Jiajia
