But I don't know what I can do. It is not that I wouldn't like to be a (3)        . But I don't want to stay here now. I really need some experience.
I once taught business English at a night school, yet I had never done any (4)        .

19． Most of us think much about time. When we were very young, we learned to value(珍惜) time. As children, we are taught to be on time to go to school, to do our homework and to attend a meeting. When we are having a good time, we feel that time goes easily. Today, my neighbor Jack played basketball with me the whole morning and we felt we spent only a short time. It was a wonderful morning.
Time is money. Time is knowledge. Time is everything. In big cities, a working person has to work hard for eight hours a day or forty hours a week. This is working time. In his spare time, he also works hard for more money or learn some skills. Even on Saturday he also works hard as usual. In the street you can hardly see that a man walks slowly. They walk very fast. In fact, sometimes they are running.
We love time because time can bring us a lot of things. But sometimes we also dislike time, because we feel we have become servants(仆人)of the clock.

21． A little girl walked to and from school every day. Though it was not fine and clouds appeared in the sky that morning, the little girl made her daily trip to school as usual. When school was over, winds became stronger and it began to rain.
The mother of the little girl felt worried that her daughter would be scared when she walked home from school and that lightning might frighten her child. Following the bright light of lightning, the mother quickly got into her car and drove to her child's school.
As the mother drove along the road, she saw her little girl walking alone in the rain. To her great surprise, she found that when a lightning came, her daughter stopped, looked up and smiled. Another lightning came and then another followed. With each lightning, the little girl stopped, looked up and smiled.
Inside the car, the mother asked her daughter, "What were you doing?Why did you look up and smile when the lightning came?" The little girl answered with a smile, "Mum, you know, God was looking at me. Each time I felt a little afraid walking in the rain, God would take a picture of me. I knew he was playing a game with me. "

22． We produce lots of rubbish in our everyday lives and make the environment bad. So rubbish sorting (分类) is needed urgently (紧急地). Nowadays, a new rubbish sorting system has been put into use in our city. Local people not only sort their rubbish, but also put QR codes ( 二维码) on it. "When the rubbish is collected and the codes are seen, I will get reward points to exchange for small gifts and even some money, " one of the local people told reporters. "It's really creative and encouraging. "
What's more, rubbish sorting saves resources(资源), which could bring economic benefits(经济利益). For example, a ton of waste paper can be reused to make about 850 kg of paper, saving 17 trees and 50% of water. Because of their benefits, some countries have developed successful sorting systems.
In Japan, the government gives instructions and directions to every family on how to sort special rubbish every year. When you throw away a water bottle, you should strictly put the cap, the wrapper (包装纸) and the bottle itself into three different bins.
In Australia, every family is provided with three rubbish bins﹣the red bin for "general waste"like food and plastic bags; the yellow bin for "recycling" like steel and glass;and the green bin for "green waste", such as grass and leaves. On the streets, the bins are printed with pictures of the things that are allowed inside, which makes recycling quite easy.

23． As you grow up, you need to explore the world in new ways, and your parents need to protect you from the dangers that are out in that world. These different ideas can easily lead to fights in families.
How to make your home a happy and healthy place?
Try the following.
Respect
Respect is more than just doing what you are told to do. Respect is about valuing what your parents have to say. It is also about them valuing what you have to say.
Mark, 14, puts it this way, "At least try to understand whatever they are trying to tell you, no matter how bad it may sound at the time. "
Communication
You can communicate with your parents by expressing your thoughts in a respectful way. Your ability to explain your thoughts calmly may give your parents a chance to see you in a new light.
Trust
You are more likely to get along with your parents and have more freedom if your parents trust you.
Taking time together
Some teenagers find that doing fun activities with their parents can improve their relationships (关系). Sharing time together can build trust and communication. Sometimes we forget that parents are more than rule﹣makers ﹣﹣ they're interesting people who like to watch movies, play cards, and go shopping ﹣﹣ just like us!
Your relationship with your parents may be sometimes good and sometimes bad. But remember that parents can be a great support when things are not going well. So try your best to improve the relationship between you and your parents. If your parents see that you're doing your best, they will do the same.
