三、阅读理解
A fashion model’s life sounds great. But is it really wonderful?
“It’s not an easy job,” Molly, a model, says. Today is an ordinary(寻常的)weekday for Molly. Let’s see what she does every day.
After breakfast, Molly starts her work. She goes to three companies, and gives them her photos and resume(简历). She hopes to work for them. Then she goes to the fourth company. The company is going to have a fashion show tomorrow. She comes to try on the clothes. At twelve, Molly eats some beef and vegetables for lunch. She has a show at 1:30 p.m., so she can’t eat too much. The show lasts for three hours and Molly gets her pay. At 5 p.m., Molly gets a call from one of the three companies that she went to in the morning. People in the company ask her to take part in a show the day after tomorrow. Molly is very happy to hear the good news.
Work is over. Molly has a vegetable salad at six. Before going to bed at 11 p.m., she exercises for one hour and does facial care(脸部护理).
