【題目】Working vacations are a popular way to see the world and a good way to make some money along the way. Bill Tyler, a reporter, talked with Jenny, who just came back from a working vacation in Australia.

Bill: So how was your trip?

Jenny: It was fantastic (奇異的) ! The place I went to--Mildura, in Victoria State is known as the gateway to the outback(內(nèi)地). I was working at a vineyard(葡萄園) there, as a picker during the grape harvest. Most of the dried fruits in Australia like raisins (葡萄干) and so on, come from Mildura.

Bill: Was it hard work?

Jenny: Mm, yes, it was tiring and it got very boring sometimes. You have to spend around eight hours a day filling up buckets() with grapes. And it's a six-day week, usually with Saturday off. But the good thing is that you're working outdoors all the time. And you also get to make something really nice from all over the world.

Bill: So, do you have any suggestions for people who want to give it a try?

Jenny: Well, I'd suggest you only do it if you're quite healthy, and if you don't mind hot weather. Temperatures in Mildura can reach 25℃ sometimes, so you'll certainly need a sun hat. And don't forget a water bottle--it's thirsty work!

1If you like a working vacation you can not only travel, but also make some ______.

2Jenny thinks her trip in Mildura is______.

3It's really boring and ______ sometimes as a picker in the vineyard.

4You should be very ______ if you want to try the work.
