My First Job
I’ll never forget the first day of my first job.1.. The company sold carpets and floor tiles (地板砖)and I had several shops in the area. I started work at 8:00 on Monday morning and made my first mistake at 8:05. I hadn’t driven that type of van before. I let too much petrol into the engine . So I had to wait for twenty minutes. 2. .
I drove to one house to deliver a carpet. There was a problem, though. When I looked in the back of the van, the carpet wasn’t there. Then I remembered the boss had told me to collect the carpet from another shop. I’d forgotten to do that. I drove to the shop in the next town. 3.. All the shops are closed on Monday afternoons. I would have to call again the next day instead.
4. . When I arrived at the next house, I opened the doors of the van at the back. A heavy box
of tiles fell out onto my foot. Ooooooww! I jumped up and down the street on one leg. It was very painful! I was able to walk on one and a half feet up to the house with the box of tiles.
The afternoon was getting very hot. I hadn’t eaten or drunk anything and didn’t have any water in the car. When I went through the next town, I met a traffic jam. 5.. Two hours later, I got to the last shop. It was 6’clock. What a bad day!
A. But I was too late
B. I found a job as a van driver

They will be looking at both current mobile phones and the new generation of 4G phones. The results from these studies will help us understand more about the world beyond mobile communications.
