Certainly dustmen prefer to be known as "Reuse Collection and Disposal Officers". You may think that this is rather 36, and it is better to call a spade a spade. But dustmen can be as 37as people of any other occupation, though we must 38that their job is not a 39one in the world. We often take dustmen for granted. Perhaps because they usually come very early in the morning, before most people are 40.We are likely to forget their 41.Our dustbins are 42regularly, but we 43stop to think about the men who do this. However, it is one of the most important jobs in the world, and when there are no dustmen to 44the rubbish, the general 45soon becomes aware that something is wrong. Recently, the dustmen of England went on strike for higher wages.
During the first few days it was regarded as a 46.But when the first two weeks had passed, and the dustbins were overflowing in nearly every backyard in the country, the joke did not seem so 47any more. 48the strike continued, people could not 49the hills of rubbish around their dustbins, and they looked for other places in which to 50it. Even Leicester Square, in the heart of West End of London, was 51high with plastic bags full of smelly rubbish. This was a（n） 52attraction that the people of London were not at all 53to see. Even when the strike was over, it took several weeks for the country to get cleaned up completely. Perhaps now the English peopleappreciate the work of 54dustmen rather more 55and won't take them for granted any more.

When I was in the final year of my graduation studies, I visited a friend’s home for lunch. The moment I reached his house, I found the staircases of his building were not so good and his home was not painted very well. I couldn’t 36 in words but it was not even the type of house in which a typical middle-class Indian family lives.
The greatest things I did find there were his parents. We sat on the ground for lunch because they didn’t have a dining 37 . His mother served us very delicious food, smiled throughout and showed care for the 38 lunch session. I can never forget that.
His father worked as a normal 39 and I wondered if he earned enough money to support their two sons. While we were taking lunch, his father returned home to meet us. When he entered their home, his hands were dark black and his clothes were very dirty. My friend had no 40 about his father and made the introductions.
As soon as his father came in, my friend asked me if I wanted “Papad”（a typical Indian food）to eat. Before I could say anything, the father very gently and kindly 41 it for me, after going through many staircases even though he was looking 42 .
Today, my friend is a leader in a big company. He is able to 43 high rent in Hyderabad and have a new beautiful home. Not only that, he helped his brother 44 in his studies and is still helping.
What I want to say is that I consider 45 as richness in a poor family. The amount of money you make won’t 46 other’s hearts; the only way is with love and kindness. Struggle and bad periods are needed for everyone’s life, as they make us strong. If you have strong willpower, goals and also the attitude of hard and smart work, you can 47 be a successful person in some areas of life.
