Molly was a high school girl from Australia. She loved cars very much and she decided to buy one for herself before graduation (毕业) . In order to get enough money, she looked for part-time jobs on her school board (公告栏) .
She looked through all kinds of part-time jobs, and then she found a job that she was very interested in. It was to be the mascot (吉祥物) of her school sports teams. It was paying fifteen dollars. It was really a lot for a high school student. So Molly went to the job interview and got the job at last. She felt very happy. Her first day of work was at a basketball game. She got to school early that day. She got to school at 7 o'clock, and only the basketball players were there. Molly put on her costume and her panda head. It was very heavy and hot inside. But when she thought about how much she wanted a car, she felt better.
That day, Molly's high school basketball team won the game. The crowd jumped and cheered (欢呼) . A lot of people wanted to take a picture with Molly. She spent an hour just taking pictures. By the time Molly could go home, it was already 11 o'clock, and she felt very tired but happy. She thought about how much money she made. It was the thing keeping her going.
