“I’m very tired from working here,” said Jean to her friend Kate.“I’m on my feet from morning to night.For the first quarter of the day,I clean up the counter(柜台)and set the table.For the next quarter,I help in the kitchen.For the second half of my workday I take orders at the counters.”
“Kate,I wish I had your job,” Jean went on.“for four hours you just sit at the cash register(收款台)taking in money.”
“But I spend two more hours in the kitchen than you do,” said Kate.“It’s tiring to cook over a hot stove.I don’t think you’d really want my job.In fact,I’d like your job.”
1.How long did they work every day?
A.Eight hours B.Twelve hours
C.Ten hours D.Nine hours
2.How long did Kate spend in the kitchen?
A.A quarter day B.A half day
C.One-third day D.Three-four day
A 2.B
这是怎么算出来的,the quarter of the day 还有 the second half of the 怎么我觉得Jean和Kate 工作的时间不一样呢?
the quarter of the day是四分之一天
the second half of my workday是我工作日的后一半
前两段都是Jean说的,第一段说的一半就是第二段的4小时,所以每天总共工作8小时.其中2小时 clean up the counter,两小时help in the kitchen,四小时是take orders at the counters.
Kate “spend two more hours in the kitchen ”,就是说一共是2+2=4（小时）.
她们都是标准的8小时工作制,比我们学生强多了……题外话,要是想以后的八小时更加好过,现在还是要好好学习啊.
