(A) When the sun goes down and the sky turns dark, people go back home. For them, this is the end of the day. But this is not the end of the day for some people. For them, work is just starting because they are night workers. When almost all people are sleeping, night workers are working hard..

Betty’s sister is a nurse. She works in a large hospital. Every month she works at night for ten days. She starts to work at 9 o’clock in the evening and finishes it at 6 o’clock in the morning. She says, “I have lunch between two and three o’clock in the morning.” Andy’s uncle works at the fire station(消防局)at night. Tonight he may drive to a house to put out a fire.

They guard houses, buildings and factories. Many newspapermen work at night. They write news and stories for the morning newspapers. And there are soldiers who do not sleep at night.
