My First Job
I was six when I joined my father and two elder brothers at sunrise in the fields of Eufaula, Okia. 1 the time I was eight I was helping Dad fix up old furniture. He gave me a cent for every nail I 2 out of old boards. I got my first 3 job, at JM’s Restaurant in town, when I was 12. My main responsibilities(职责)were 4 tables and washing dishes, 5 sometimes I helped cook.
Every day after school I would 6 to JM’s and work until ten. Even on Saturdays I 7 from two until eleven. At that age it was difficult going to work and 8 my friends run off to swim or play. I didn’t necessarily like work, but I loved what working 9 me to have. Because of my 10 I was always the one buying when my friends and I went to the local Tastee Freez. This made me 11 .
Word that I was trustworthy and hardworking 12 around town. A local clothing store offered me credit(赊账) 13 I was only in seventh grade. I immediately 14 a $ 68 sports coat and a $ 22 pair of shoes. I was 15 only 65 cents an hour, and I already owed the storekeeper $ 90! So I learned 16 the danger of easy credit. I paid it 17 as soon as I could.
My first job taught me self-control, responsibility and brought me a 18 of personal satisfaction few of my friends had experienced. As my father, 19 worked three jobs, once told me,“If you 20 sacrifice(奉献)and responsibility, there are not many things in life you can’t have.”How right he was.

(1) D by 此处意为“当(某时刻)到了”,说明当作者8岁时就努力帮助父亲修理家具,within意为“在……之内(之间);不到”,不符语境。(2) A 由old board可判断是从旧木板上拔出钉子,须用pull sth.out of 形式。(3) B 作者认为帮助父亲干活顶多算是“家务活”,故第一次在外从事这份工作才是他所谓的“真正的”工作。(4) C clear table意为“擦桌子”和下文的wash dishes均属饭馆招待员的工作范畴。(5) C clear tables and wash dishes与help cook是两种不同性质的工作,其间存在转折关系,even语意可以而在语法上讲不通,它仅作副词不能引导句子。(6) A head作不及物动词意为“(向某一特定的方向)出发”,指作者放学后径直赶往JM’s restaurant,一直工作到10点。(7) B 由上下文判定,即使是在星期六,作者也要从2点工作到11点。(8) C watch强调注目地看,表示在那样小的年龄就不得不去工作而眼瞅着同伴们跑去游泳或玩耍,表达出作者的羡慕之情。(9) D allow 此处意为“让……得到……;给”,而promise的主语应是人;本句意为“我并不真的喜欢工作,但喜欢因工作而让我拥有的东西。”(10) D 作者赚了钱才可能当他和朋友一起去Tastee Freez时总是成为惟一掏钱买东西的人。(11) A 在伙伴面前买各种东西自然感到很骄傲。(12) B get around意为“(消息、谣言、故事等)悄悄地传开”;run around到处跑;fly around围……飞;carry作不及物动词意为“被携带”。(13) A 主从句为让步关系,须用although。(14) C charge此处意为“(作为债务)记账”,由上文可知,一家服装店主动赊账给他,故他就赊账买了衣服和鞋子。(15) B make money表示“赚钱”。(16) D early此处表示“年龄小”;作者很小就被允许赊账,且已经赊了90美元,而他的工资只有每小时65美分,故他在很小时就懂得了赊账的危险性。(17) D pay off意为“还清(债务)”,符合语境。(18) B level 指“标准”,自我满足的标准。(19) C 关系代词who指代my father在定语从句中作主语;that不能引导非限制性定语从句。(20) A 如果你懂得奉献和负责任,在你的一生中就没有多少你不能得到的东西;understand符合题意。 |
