Personal Assistant of the Year
O Anne-Marie Garrard was shocked when it was announced that she had won the
00 Personal Assistant of the Year award. "The other candidates seemed me
34 to be very strong, and I have to say I found that the selection procedure really
35 hard," she says. "1 didn"t think I had any chance of winning. When I heard my
36 name, my legs were so weak I could only hardly stand up," she laughs. So
37 how is "the best" personal assistant chosen from a group of so extremely good
38 and very different individuals? The final decision was reached after a
39 day-long session of the tests, interviews and exercises. Garrard believes
40 the skills she uses in her job helped her how to perform. well. For instance, although
41 most of her work is for her company"s Managing Director, she works for six bosses
42 in all, so she always tries out to be prepared for anything that might happen.
43 As for the future, her firm has closed for its summer break now; as soon as
44 they will open again, there is a pay rise waiting for her. But Garrard is not
45 going to be relax. She says, "There"s always room for personal development. You must keep trying to improve."

When I come home from the supermarket and start to unpack, I am always shocked at the layers of wrappings we cover our food with.
There is hardly anything we buy that doesn't come in at least two wrappings, and then several of them are gathered by the shop assistant and put into a small bag. Then several of the small bags are grouped together and put into a big bag. If you have several big bags with small bags in them, they give you a cardboard box to put the packages-in-the-little-bags-in-the-big-bags in.
A lot of things we buy wouldn't really need any protective wrapping at all. The skin of an orange protects an orange pretty well for most of its natural life, but we aren't satisfied with what nature has given it. We wrap them in plastic or put them in a net bag, and then in a paper bag. The orange inside the skin, inside the plastic which is in the paper bag, must wonder where it is.
A box of biscuits often has waxed paper(蜡纸) next to the biscuits, a cardboard box holding the food and then a decorative wrapping around it.
A relative of ours bought a new sofa recently because she liked the fine leather (皮革) it was covered with. She liked it so much she didn't want it to get dirty, so she bought a cloth cover to put over it.
We may never again see the leather she's protecting.

It seemed Milly had died. "She meant more to me than anyone… even my own wife!" he said. I could see that he had been crying. I thought something terrible had taken place, a possible scandal. I was even more shocked when he told me he had put her in the barn. "I would not leave her out in the cold !" he said.
Milly had clearly been a secret lover of his. I was about to tell him he could not expect me to cover anything up when he opened the barn door. He lifted his candle and I saw a dark figure on the ground. "She was such a good cow! I wouldn't let anyone but a doctor touch her!" he said, and burst into tears again.

A.expect
B.understand
