As an only child,a perfectly ordinary little girl in rural Winscoson,i wanted sisters more than anything. When i turned 7,my parents made a decision that delighted me beyond measure:they chose to adopt. It was christmas time when my 2 new sisters aged 6 and 3 arrived from Colombia. They came with a great flourish of celebration as friends and relatives visited us bearing gifts to welcome them. That evening ,our guests went home and we were left to ourselves. My sisters and i went to the bedroom we were to share. And as we crawled into our beds,our parents came to each of us,tucking us in and saying good night.

Beneath the surface,however, my parents were struggling with their own marital problems . as we girls were approaching our teen years, my parents uttered fateful（对未来有重大影响的）words,“we are getting a divorce." My sisters had been hurt before. It was a pain that now resurfaced as emotions from that abandonment years earlier overwhelmed them.

In recent years, many countries of the world have been faced with the problem of how to make their workers more productive. Some experts claim the answer is to make the jobs more varied.
