W: Well, I'm out of work for the time being.

　　I used to work in a Japanese firm. But two months ago, the boss went back to Japan with his family, so the firm was closed down.

　　M: Does that mean that you can come here to work at any time on call if we hire you?

　　W: That's right. By the way, what is the salary?

　　M: One thousand five hundred dollars a month to start with, and in three months your salary would be increased.

　　And a year from now, you will have two weeks' holiday.

　　W: That's great.

　　(Text 10)

　　My dad is a “Mr. Mom”. He was 50 years old when I was born. I didn't know why he was at home instead of Mom, but I considered myself very lucky because I was the only one of my class who had Dad around.

　　Dad did so many things for me during my elementary school years. He convinced the school bus driver to pick me up at our house instead of the usual bus stop six blocks away. He always had my lunch ready for me when I came home.

　　As I got a little older and tried to gain my independence, I wanted to move away from those “childish” signs of his love. But he wouldn't give up. In high school I was no longer able to go home for lunch, so I began taking my own. Dad would get up a little earlier and make it for me.

　　However, when I left home for college, I missed seeing my dad every day after school. At that time I called him a lot. It didn't matter what he said; I just wanted to hear his voice.
