Bill was fourteen years old . He had a part-time job which got him up at five o’clock . He was a newspaper boy . Each morning , Bill left the house at five fifteen to go to the center . The newspapers were delivered there by a truck at midnight . He carried them on his bike . In the winter it was still dark when he got up . Bill had to deliver the newspapers to his customers’( 订户 )houses in all kinds of weather . His customers thought he did a good job . Sometimes they gave him tips( 小费 ) . Bill has 70 customers now. Once a month he had to collect money from his customers. Some day , when he has many more customers , perhaps Bill will win a prize for being a very good newspaper boy . He wants to win a visit to Europe , but he would be happy enough if he won a new bike .
