國中英語基測出現過 now 的考題。
At
5
o’clock
every
morning
,
while
most
people
are
sleeping
, 16-year-old Libby Larson
is
already
up.
She
mops
the
floor
,
gets
the
mail
and
the
newspapers
,
and
gets
ready
for
visitors
to
Rolling
Acres.
Libby’s
grandparents
started
Rolling
Acres
in
1970,
and
since
then
all
of
the
Larson
family
have
been
working
there.
Rolling
Acres
used
to
be
just
a
sheep
farm
,
but
now
,
with
its
fruit
trees
,
vegetable
gardens
,
and
many
other
kinds
of
animals
,
it
has
become
a
popular
place
for
families
to
go
on
vacation.
Visitors
can
pick
fruits
,
collect
eggs
,
and
feed
the
animals.
It
is
one
of
Libby’s
jobs
to
show
kids
how
to
feed
the
baby
sheep.
For
her
work
, Libby
is
paid
$10
an
hour.
This
summer
,
she
expects
to
make
about
$1,200
and
plans
to
buy
a
cell
phone.
Her
friends
think
it’s
great
to
make
that
much
money
in
a
summer.
However
,
for
Libby,
working
at
a
family
business
also
means
making
sacrifices
. “
I’d
love
to
sleep
until
noon
or
go
to
summer
camp
like
other
kids.
My
friends
stopped
inviting
me
on
trips
because
I’m
always
busy
in
the
summer.
”
However
, Libby
also
said
, “
But
it’s
better
to
see
both
sides.
Working
with
your
family
is
great.
You
feel
closer
to
each
other.
