“No, no, no, dear, I want that wrapped in red paper.” A middle-aged woman came through my line and talked to me as if my IQ were that of a grade school kid. When I first started working, it was simply a way to decrease (减少) the time I spent at home and make my parents happy. I never thought that a year and a half later, I would still be at Marshalls, waiting for this woman to get through my line.I smiled and said, “Oh, that’s no problem.” She bent over the counter to look at the computer and made sure I was doing my job correctly. Her sweater grazed my hand and she smiled like she meant well. I wanted to roll my eyes but instead I just smiled. Ever since I started working here, I’ve tried not to let people like her get to me. And forget judging a book by its cover, because I have been proved wrong time and time again. The wealthy middle-aged women were far ruder than the teenage boys. At first, I was constantly surprised. Now, I tried not to even guess how the person coming near my line was going to act, because it was never the way I imagine.I never expected people to be so rude and at the same time nice. But for every rude person I saw, at least five pleasant customers came through my line.“Here you go,” I handed the woman her receipt and hoped her $5 wine glass was wrapped to her liking. “Have a nice day!” I said. And just as I thought I was fed up, the next customer came through. “She had about one more minute and I was going to tell her to get out of line,” she whispered (小声说) to me with a smile.1.Why did the writer work at Marshalls?A.

Wrapped In Plastic Lyrics
Know something about this song or lyrics?
where is my uniform i know i don't fit in
i'm not wrapped in plastic and i can't be paper thin
they told me what to say, gave me what to wear
taught me their colloquialism but i don't even hear
if i search a little harder if i pray
if i stay a little longer will i find you
i'll never be the one to shadow fashion queens
i can't be perfect, whatever perfect means
how could i get so blase, drop my guard, relax
how could i be so see through and let them see all that
hold still while i attach some meaning
don't move while i make it real
isolation only makes it harder
this thing has lost it's feel
