Everyone needs recognition(賞識(shí)) for his achievements,but few people make the need known quite as clearly as the little boy who said to his father,“Let’s play darts(飛鏢).I’ll throw and you should say ‘Wonderful!’”
Fran Tarkenton,former Minnesota Vikings quarterback,once called a play that required him to block onrushing tacklers.
FEL quarterbacks almost never block.They’re usually vastly outweighed by defenders,so blocking exposes them to the risk of severe injury.
But the team was behind,and a surprising play was needed.Tarkenton went into block,and the runner scored a touchdown.The Vikings won the game.
Watching the game films with the team the next day,Tarkenton expected a big pat on the back for what he’d done.    It never came.
After the meeting,Tarkenton approached coach Bud Grant and asked,“You saw my block,didn’t you,Coach?How come you didn’t say anything about it?”
Grant replied,“Sure,I saw the block.It was great,but you’re always working hard out there,Fran.I figured I didn’t have to tell you.”
“Well,”Tarkenton replied,“if you ever want me to block again,you do!”

Every summer a great many students travel to other countries looking for work and adventure. Most of the    26         are in seasonal work, mainly connected with wourism and    27         

The pay is usually poor, but most people work abroad for the     28     of travel. You can pick grapes on farms in France, entertain kids on American summer camps, and, of course, there are  29     jobs in hotels and restaurants.

   But it is not easy now to find work. “    30    you speak the language of the country well, there will be very few openings,” says Althea Ellis, an adviser in     31        for students.

“If you work with a family in Italy, you’ll have to speak Italian. When you wash dishes in a restaurant in Pairs, the owner will expect you to speak   32     . British students only have a language     33      for jobs in the USA and Australia.”

The pay was     39      and it really was a 24-hour-a-day job. The kids never slept!”

“The troubles is, students expect to have a(n)     40     time of it.” Althea Ellis points out. “After all, they see it as a    41      .In practice,     42       ,you have to work hard.

In the other words, you’ll work if it’s convenient for the company that     43     you. But you have      44     employment rights.
