I'm seventeen. I had worked as a box boy at asupermarket in Los Angeles. People came to thecounter and you put things in their bags for them.And carried things to their cars. It was hard work.
While working, you wear a plate with your name onit. I once met someone I knew years ago. Iremembered his name and said, "Mr Castle, how areyou?" We talked about this and that. As he left, he said, "It was nice talking to you, Brett." Ifelt great, he remembered me. Then I looked down at my name plate. Oh no. He didn'tremember me at all, he just read the name plate. I wish I had put "Irving" down on my nameplate. If he have said, "Oh yes, Irving, how could I forget you?" I have been ready for him.There's nothing personal here.
The manager and everyone else who were a step above the box boys often shouted orders. Oneof these was: You couldn't accept tips(小费). Okay, I'm outside and I put the bags in the car.For a lot of people, the natural reaction(反应) is to take a quarter and give it to me. "I'm sorry,I can't." They'd get angry. When you give someone a tip, you're sort of being polite. You take aquarter and you put it in their hands and you expect them to say, "Oh, thanks a lot." When yousay, "I'm sorry, I can't," they feel a little put down. They say, "No one will know." And they putit in your pocket. You say, "I really can't." It gets to a point where you almost have to hurt aperson physically(身体上) to prevent him from tipping you. It was not in agreement with thestore's belief in being friendly. Accepting tips was a friendly thing and made the customer feelgood. I just couldn't understand the strangeness of some people's ideas. One lady actually putit in my pocket, got in the car, and drove away. I would have had to throw the quarter at her oreaten it or something.
I had decided that one year was enough. Some people needed the job to stay alive and fed. Iguess I had the means and could afford to hate it and give it up.

Parts of Africa are covered by a dark cloud. But thisis no rain cloud. It is a living cloud made of billions oflocusts (蝗虫) that are traveling across the continenteating everything in their path.
And now in the battle to stop this disaster, a radiostation in Senegal, West Africa, is offering listeners50 kilograms of rice if they can catch and kill 50kilograms of locusts. "We think this idea will get more people to take part in the war on thelocusts," said Abdoulaye Ba, from Sud-Fm, a radio station in one of Senegal's worst affectedarea.
This is West Africa's biggest locust disaster in 15 years, and it is moving east, causing hugedamage to crops. As they move they produce young and increase their number and will soonthreaten (威胁) Sudan in the northeast of Africa. Some say it could reach Asia.
Experts say the harmful effect on crops in areas already suf-fering from food shortage and warcould cause many people to go hungry. Governments in the areas are not well equipped to fightthe pest.
Although leaders of 12 countries have agreed on a plan, it is not expected to be enough. "Weare now treating 6,000 hectares (公顷) per day with pesticide (杀虫剂), but we need to treat20,000 hectares per day in order to have any hope of controlling this disaster," said MohamedAbdallahi Ould Babah, director of locust control in Mauritania.
Requests are being made for international aid, which is the only way to limit the disaster, theUN's Food and Agricul-ture Organization warned.
