Only two women are known to have been smugglers at sea. Montmorillon, a French-woman, followed in her father's steps. Captaining a brig, she smuggled goods to England.
Bessie Catchpole took up smuggling when her husband was killed running brandy and tobacco. She dressed in his clothes. With his pipe and cutlass she boarded his yawl, the Sally. The crew gaped when she said she was their captain. One man even laughed. Bessie floored him with a punch on the jaw. This action caused the crew to accept her. A writer says Bessie sold goods to the clergy and gentry. But she was not so popular among customs officers. Like Montmorillon, she was never caught.

You can pick grapes in France, entertain(逗樂)kids on American summer camps, and, of course, there are 4 jobs in hotels and restaurants.
But it is not easy to find work,“ 5 you speak the language of the country well, there will be very few openings,”says Anthea Ellis, an adviser on 6 for students.“If you work with a family in Italy, you’ll have to speak Italian.

The pay was 14 and it really was a 24 hour-a-day job. The kids never slept!”

At the same time, all vacation work is casual(臨時)work. You’ll have a job when the hotel, the restaurant, or the campsite is busy. 18 ,you’ll work if it’s convenient for the company that employs you. But you have 19 employment rights. As soon as the holiday season 20 ,they’ll get rid of you.”

When I come across a good article in reading newspapers, I often want to cut and keep it. But just as I am about to do so I find the article on the 1 side is as much interesting. It may be a discussion of the way to 2 in good health, or 3 about how to behave and conduct oneself in society. If I cut the front article, the opposite one is likely to 4 damage, leaving out half of it or keeping the text 5 the title. Therefore, the scissors(剪刀)would 6 before they start, 7 halfway done when I find out the 8 result.
