Xiao Liu, An Honored Sanitation
Xiao Liu is a sanitation in a restaurant, a much honored one. She has been awarded for her 「excellent work and satisfactory service」 by the National Tourism Administration four times since she took the job six years ago.
Her job seems simple. Every morning, she is required to clean two washrooms, two bathrooms, two locker rooms, the balcony and the corridor. But it is hard and demanding work, especially for a girl who suffers from heart disease. 「I usually have to come at 8:30—half an hour before the working time begins and start to bustle in and out without a break,」 says Liu. At 11 o』clock—the opening time of the restaurant, everything is washed up. So is she. Then she stands in front of the washrooms to greet every guest with a smile, help them and do the cleaning whenever it is necessary.
「It is unusual work for such a young woman,」 says the manager of the restaurant, 「It is not only the hand work but also the psychological pressure that she has to stand.」
「I felt very ashamed and humble when I stood in front of the washroom on my first working day,」 recalls Liu. Then only 17 years old she blushed whenever a guest came. Her collegues poked fun at her and her friends called her a fool.
「Because of my work, they think I am inferior and can only work in the washrooms. But I am not,」 she says. And the young woman, who had been eager to do everything well since she was a child, vowed to prove it.
Four years ago, she was honored as Excellent Sanitation worker by the National Tourism Administration. It was the happiest day of her life. 「Standing on the stage, I cried, because it is not only a prize, but a kind of understanding and recognition,」 Liu says.
In spite of the heavy work during the day time, Liu spends every night learning from her sister’s textbooks. 「Sometimes I read till 3 o』clock in the morning and get up at 6 to go to work,」 She says. Two years ago, she passed the entrance examination for the 「Worker College」, and this year, she obtained a diploma in finance. Her thesis was selected for excellence and was honored at the commencement.

【點評】
本文是一篇縮寫的範文。
象本單元原文這樣的紀實性的文章,一般篇幅都較長,事例多。在這篇文章中,作者就記述了人們自參加工作以來的幾件經歷過的事,所以在寫縮寫前首先當然是讀懂全文,弄清每個事例都是圍繞什麼意思展開的,如本文即頌揚小劉在平凡的工作崗位上如何盡心盡責,努力工作的精神。有了這個法寶我們就抓住了整篇文章的骨架,再往裡面增加一些必要的內容也就是事例或評論,一篇篇幅精小,內容飽滿的縮寫就完成了。
