asked to state her occupation. she hesitated, uncertain how to classify herself. “what i mean is,” explained the recorder, “do you have a job, or are you just a ”“of course i have a job,” said emily. “im a mother.”“we dont list mother as an occupation housewife covers it,” said the recorder. one day i found myself in the same situation. the clerk was obviously a career woman, confident and possessed of a high sounding title. “what is your occupation?” she asked. the words simply popped out. “im a research associate in the field of child development and human relations.”the clerk paused, ballpoint pen frozen in midair. i repeated the title slowly, then i stared with wonder as my statement was written in bold, black ink on the official questionnaire. “might i ask,” said the clerk with new interest, “just what you do in this field?”coolly, without any trace of panic in my voice, i heard myself reply, “i have a continuing program of research (what mother doesnt), in the lab and in the field (normally i would have said indoors and out). of course, the job is one of the most demanding in the humanities (any mother care to disagree?), and i often work 14 hours a day (24 is more like it). but the job is more challenging than most careers and rewards are more of a satisfaction rather than just money.”there was an increasing note of respect in the clerks voice as she completed the form, stood up, and showed me out. as i drove into our driveway, buoyed up (受鼓舞) by my glamorous new career, i was greeted by my lab assistants-ages 13, 7, and 3. upstairs i could hear our new experimental model (a 6-month-old baby), in the child-development program, testing out a new vocal pattern. i felt proud! i had gone on the official records as someone more distinguished and

authors research work in the lab. d. because the writer did something she had little knowledge of. 65. what is the authors purpose of writing the passage?a. to show how you describe your job affects your feelings toward it. b. to argue that motherhood is a worthy career and deserves respect. c. to show that the author had a grander job than emily. d. to show that being a mother is hard and boring work. dcharles dickens was one of the most beloved storytellers in the english language. his novels made him famous in his own time, and continue as classics in ours.dickens began his literary career with almost no formal education. he was born in landport, on feb. 7, 1812, the second of eight children. when he was 12, his father was sent to debtors prison. dickens was forced to quit school and work in a london blacking factory. he would rework that terrible experience into his fiction for the rest of his life.“he was a social reformer,” says actor simon callow, author of a new biography called charles dickens and the great theatre of the world. “he knew what poverty was. he knew what it was to be rejected, to be cast aside, to live in squalor(悲慘).”and so dickens wrote with great
