Read the passage followed by some questions or unfinished statements. Choose the best answer from the four choices marked A, B, C, and D. If you don't have much money, what are some cheap ways to travel? In fact, there are a few "almost free" ways to travel. One is to drive a car for a car-moving company. When people move from one part of the country to another, they often need to move their cars, but they don't want to drive them themselves. They pay a car-moving company to do this for them. Some of these companies hire people to drive the cars. The drivers usually have to make a deposit (押金)and pay for petrol, but this is a great way to travel if you can find a car going your way. A bigger problem is how to get back home! How about a free plane ride? If you can fly with almost no advance notice, you can be a courier (信差)for a mailing company. A courier delivers mail in a hurry. The company may buy you a round-trip plane ticket if you deliver a package for them. There are even companies that need to make large mailings internationally. Because it's so expensive to send international mail, these companies pay for someone to fly overseas with boxes of letters for their offices or customers in other countries. The way to travel "completely free" by air is ____.A. being a courier for a mailing companyB. sending expensive international mailC. flying without any advance noticeD. delivering mail in a hurry

All I had to do for the two dollars was clean her house for a few hours after school. It was a beautiful house, too, with a plastic-covered sofa and chairs, wall-to-wall blue-and-white carpeting, a white enamel stove, a washing machine and a dryer—things that were common in her neighborhood, absent in mine. In the middle of the war, she had butter, sugar, steaks, and seam-up-the-back stockings. I knew how to scrub floors on my knees and how to wash clothes in our zinc tub, but I had never seen a Hoover vacuum cleaner or an iron that wasn't heated by fire. Part of my pride in working for her was earning money I could squander (浪费)：on movies, candy, paddleballs, jacks, ice-cream cones. But a larger part of my pride was based on the fact that I gave half my wages to my mother, which meant that some of my earnings were used for real things—an insurance-policy payment or what was owed to the milkman or the iceman. The pleasure of being necessary to my parents was profound. I was not like the children in folktales: burdensome mouths to feed, nuisances to be corrected, problems so severe that they were abandoned to the forest. I had a status that doing routine chores in my house did not provide—and it earned me a slow smile, an approving nod from an adult. Confirmations that I was adultlike, not childlike. In those days, the forties, children were not just loved or liked; they were needed. They could earn money; they could care for children younger than themselves; they could work the farm, take care of the herd, run errands(差事), and much more. I suspect that children aren't needed in that way now. They are loved, doted on, protected, and helped. Fine, and yet... Little by little, I got better at cleaning her house—good enough to be given more to do, much more. I was ordered to carry bookcases upstairs and, once, to move a piano from one side of a room to the other. I fell carrying the bookcases. And after pushing the piano my arms and legs hurt so badly. I wanted to refuse, or at least to complain, but I was afraid she would fire me, and I would lose the freedom the dollar gave me, as well as the standing I had at home—although both were slowly being eroded. She began to offer me her clothes, for a price. Impressed by these worn things, which looked simply gorgeous to a little girl who had only two dresses to wear to school, I bought a few. Until my mother asked me if I really wanted to work for castoffs. So I learned to say "No, thank you" to a faded sweater offered for a quarter of a week5s pay. Still, I had trouble summoning (鼓起)the courage to discuss or object to the increasing demands she made. And I knew that if I told my mother how unhappy I was she would tell me to quit. Then one day, alone in the kitchen with my father, I let drop a few whines about the job. I gave him details, examples of what troubled me, yet although he listened intently, I saw no sympathy in his eyes. No "Oh, you poor little thing. " Perhaps he understood that what I wanted was a solution to the job, not an escape from it. In any case, he put down his cup of coffee and said, 44Listen. You don't live there. You live here. With your people. Go to work. Get your money. And come on home. ” That was what he said. This was what I heard: Whatever the work is, do it well—not for the boss but for yourself. You make the job; it doesn't make you. Your real life is with us, your family. You are not the work you do; you are the person you are. I have worked for all sorts of people since then, geniuses and morons, quick-witted and dull, big-hearted and narrow. I've had many kinds of jobs, but since that conversation with my father I have never considered the level of labor to be the measure of myself, and I have never placed the security of a job above the value of home.【小题1】What is the "pleasure" of the author from the sentence "The pleasure of being necessary to my parents was profound.
