Jesse was a great teacher, tutor, mentor, and family member. He was a dedicated(忠诚的) volunteer in the Peace Corps in Guinea, West Africa. He went to a place where he knew he could make a difference and wanted to help teach children who otherwise would not have a teacher. He made friends wherever he went and touched the hearts of many.

Jesse was never one to go anywhere without making a good impression on everyone he met. His sudden death in a tragic car accident in Africa brought his family and friends together in a celebration of his life. They came from all over the world：Africa, Canada, and the US. The church was filled with people who knew that Jesse had made a difference in their lives, in the lives of the children, and in the hearts of his loved ones.

Jesse volunteered for the Peace Corps to help educate children in Guinea, Africa. Guinea is a very poor and complex country where tribalism(种族主义) is strong. Each tribe that Jesse worked with wanted him to commit(致力于)to one or the other.

Jesse would not surrender(投降)to tribalism when he took an African name. Each of the two tribes in which he taught insisted that he choose their name. However, he solved the problems by combining both of the tribes' names into one.

Jesse was a light to all who knew him. We will always remember the joy and love he brought to his work, to his family and his friends. The people who loved Jesse are planning to build a school in Guinea in his honour. So his work will continue.

In the course of working my way through school, I took many jobs I would rather forget. But none of these jobs was as dreadful as my job in an apple plant. The work was hard; the pay was poor; and, most of all, the working conditions were terrible.

First of all, the job made huge demands on my strength. For ten hours a night, I took boxes that rolled down a metal track and piled them onto a truck. Each box contained twelve heavy bottles of apple juice. I once figured out that I was lifting an average of twelve tons of apple juice every night.

I would not have minded the difficulty of the work so much if the pay had not been so poor. I was paid the lowest wage of that time—two dollars an hour. Because of the low pay, I felt eager to get as much as possible. I usually worked twelve hours a night but did not take home much more than $100 a week.

But even more than the low pay, what made me unhappy was the working conditions. During work I was limited to two ten­minute breaks and an unpaid half hour for lunch. Most of my time was spent outside loading trucks with those heavy boxes in near­zero­degree temperatures. The steel floors of the trucks were like ice, which made my feet feel like stone. And after the production line shut down at night and most people left, I had to spend two hours alone cleaning the floor.

I stayed on the job for five months, all the while hating the difficulty of the work, the poor money, and the conditions under which I worked. By the time I left, I was determined never to go back there again.

6．Why did the writer have to take many jobs at that time?

A．To pay for his schooling.

B．To save for his future.

C．To support his family.

D．To gain some experience.

7．The following facts describe the terrible working conditions of the plant EXCEPT________.

A．loading boxes in the freezing cold

B．having limited time for breaks

C．working and studying at the same time

D．getting no pay for lunch time

A．The writer's unhappy school life.

B．The writer's eagerness to earn money.

C．The writer's experience as a full­time worker.

D．The writer's hard work in an apple plant.

9．How is the text organized?

B．Opinion—Discussion—Description.

C．Main idea—Comparison—Supporting examples.

D．Introduction—Supporting examples—Conclusion.
