When I was a teenager growing up in Russia, I wanted to leave school and have my own life. The only way I could do this was to work in the local brick factory in my town, or get married. I was nervous when I told my father I wanted to leave school. I thought he would say, ' No! You are going to college. ' He took me by surprise when he said, 'OK. We'll go to the brick factory. ' Two days later, he took me to the factory. I had a very romantic idea of working in a factory. ' I had imagined everyone to be friends working together and having fun. I even imagined there would be music and singing. I guess I had watched too many movies as a teenager. When we arrived at the factory gates, my father spoke to the guard and one minute later we were inside. My father said, 'Take your time. Look around.' I walked around the factory looking at the building, the workers, and listening to the noise. It was horrible. I ran back to my. father and said, 'I want to go home. ' He asked me, 'What do you think of the factory?' 'It's terrible,' I replied. 'And marriage is even worse!' he said. I went back to school the next day thinking about studying hard so I could get into a good college. I enjoyed studying English so I decided to major in languages at college. Thanks to my father and our trip to the brick factory, I now work at the United Nations and my father is very proud of me. I married a very good man and my life is much better than it would have been working in the factory! 小题1: The writer lived in_________ when she was a teenager. A. Russia B. Japan C.
