Mary’s parents are different from the average. While she was growing up they required her to 21. First of all she had to work around their home. Later on Mary worked for other people.
When Mary was 14 years old, her mother and father told her that they were no 22 going to buy her clothes.

In recent years many countries of the world have been faced with the problem of how to make their workers more productive. Some experts say the ___36___ is to make jobs more varied(多样的).
