"Be proud of what you do," my father always told me, "whether you are a boss or a cleaner". When I was 15,I got a summer job in a hospital. I was told that my duties would include (包括) sweeping floors. I smiled and remembered Dad's words.

  Even though my job was the lowest,it made me feel excited. I saw it as a challenge because it was my first job. I learned to be on time and tried to do everything well. In return,I was treated with respect (尊敬) by doctors,nurses and patients. Each morning I imagined that the dirty dishes would make patients more sick if I were not there to wash them clean. After breakfast was done,I started sweeping the floors of all patient rooms and cleaning the toilets. Though I was tired,I wanted the job to be done well. Hearing people say " That young boy really does a good job" , I was filled with pride.

  Working in the hospital taught me that being proud of one's job is important. It does not matter whether the job is sweeping floors or managing a large business. Through every job I have ever had,my father's words have always stayed with me. I was a good cleaner,and now I'm a good manager. I think Dad would be proud of me all the time.

Spaceship One is a 6-meter-long white spaceship. On June 21 ,American pilot Mike Melvill flew it to space and back―about 100 kilometers up into the sky.(1) Some might say it's not a big deal. You know,people went to the moon years ago.

Lots of people want to travel in space. But it's too expensive.
