After I was settled in the passenger seat and Curt sat behind the wheel, he said, "I"m going to need your 10 because I"m not sure how to get to your house from here." "No problem," I 11 . Curt started the car and we were 12 . The next ten miles seemed like a hundred as I prompted (提示) Curt with 13 -left now, right soon, slow down, speed up and so on. The important thing was that we got home 14 that night. Ten years later at my wedding, Curt brought 15 to the eyes of 400 guests as he told the story of our partners hip and 16 we drove home together that night. Why was it such a (n) 17 story? We would all offer our keys 18 we knew we shouldn"t drive. But you see, my friend Curt was blind. He had been blind from 19 and never sat behind the wheel of a car 20 that night. |

My parents were there, my sister and her daughter too, two cousins and, of course, my wife, my son and me. We ate at one of those restaurants where the menu is written on a blackboard held by a friendly waiter and had a wonderful time. With dinner concluded, the waiter set the check down in the middle of the table. That"s when it happened. My father did not reach for the check. In fact, my father did nothing. Conversation continued. Finally it dawned on me. Me! I was supposed to pick up the check. After all these years, after hundreds of restaurant meals with my parents, after a lifetime of thinking of my father as the one with the dollars, it had all changed. I reached for the check and pulled out my American Express card. My view of myself was suddenly changed. With a stroke of the pen, I was suddenly an adult. Some people mark off their life in years, others in events. I am one of the latter, and I think of some events as rites of passage. I did not become a young man at a particular year like 13, but when a kid strolled into the store where I worked and called me "mister", I turned around to see whom he was calling. He repeated it several times-"mister, mister"-looking straight at me. The realization hit like a punch: Me! He was talking to me. I was suddenly a mister. | 1.

I also think my work is important. There was a time when I thought I would never have that sort of career (职业). I wasn"t an excellent student because I didn"t do much schoolwork. In my final term I started thinking what I might do and found I didn"t have much to offer. I just accepted that l wasn"t the type to have a career. I then found myself a job, looking after two little girls. It wasn"t too bad at first. But the problems began when I agreed to live in, so that I would be there if my boss had to go out for business in the evening. We agreed that if I had to work extra hours one week, she"d give me time off the next. But unfortunately, it didn"t often work out. I was getting extremely tired and fed up, because I had too many late nights and early mornings with the children. One Sunday, I was in the park with the children, and met Megan who used to go to school with me. I told her about my situation. She suggested me that I should do a course and meet a qualification if I wanted to work with children I didn"t think I would be accepted because I didn"t take many exams in school. She persuaded me to phone the local college and they were really helpful. My experience counted for a lot and I got on a part-time course. I had to leave my job with the family and got work helping out at a kindergarten. Now I"ve got a full-time job there. I shall always be thankful to Megan. I wish I had known earlier that you could have a career, even if you aren"t top of the class at school. | 1. What is the author"s present job? | A. Working part-time in a college.
