业余工作

　　我儿子在一所中学读二年级时，在一家超级市场找到了一份包装商品的业余工作。他满面笑容地回到了家。

　　“第一天感觉如何？”我问。

　　“好极了，爸爸。”他答道，“我跟许多漂亮的女孩子讲了话。”

　　由于斯蒂芬不善言谈，我问道：“你跟他们说了些什么？”

　　“你是喜欢纸包装还是塑料包装？”

Part-time Job

　　When my son was a hign-school sophomore， he got a part-time job sacking groceries at a supermarket. He came home all smiles.

　　“How was your first day？” I asked.

　　“It was great， Dad，” he replied. “I got to talk to some good-looking girls.”

　　Since Stephen is not very talkative， I asked， “What did you say to them？”

　　“Do you prefer paper or plastic？”
