10．Pulling heavy suitcases all day in the summer is hard work，especially when you are a thin 14-year-old boy．That was me in 1940-the youngest and smallest baggage boy at New York City's Pennsylvania Railway Station．
After just a few days on the job，I began noticing that the other fellows were overcharging passengers．I'd like to join them，thinking，"Everyone else is doing it．"
When I got home that night，I told my dad what I wanted to do．"You give an honest day's work，"he said，looking at me straight in his eye．"They are paying you．If they want to do that，you let them do that．"
I followed my dad's advice for the rest of that summer and have lived by his words ever since．
Of all the jobs I've had，it was my experience at Pennsylvania Railway Station that has stuck with me．Now I teach my players to have respect for other people and their possession．Being a member of a team is a totally shared experience．If one person steals，it destroys trust and hurts everyone．I can put up with many things，but not with people who steal．If one of my players were caught stealing，he'd be gone．

分析 本文属于记叙文阅读，在本文中作者记叙了少年时在车站帮助客人拉行李时，发现一些人多收费，虽然我也想像他们一样做，但是爸爸对我的教育让我没有这样做，而且父亲的话对我的一生都有很大的影响．
解答 36．B 细节理解题．根据文章第二段After just a few days on the job，I began noticing that the other fellows were overcharging passengers．可知很多其他的帮助乘客拉行李的孩子都向乘客收取了太多的钱．说明他们挣的是不诚实的钱．故选B．
37．C 推理判断题．根据文章第三段he said，looking at me straight in his eye．"They are paying you．If they want to do that，you let them do that．"可知父亲建议我们不要和别人一样．如果别人想多收客人的钱，就让他们去做吧，也就是告诉我们不要和别人一样多收客人的钱．故选C．
38．A 推理判断题．根据第二段I began noticing that the other fellows were overcharging passengers．I'd like to join them，thinking，"Everyone else is doing it．"我注意到其他人收取乘客的费用太高，我也想这样做，因为别人都这样做了．可知这里的it就是指前面的overcharging passengers，故选A．
39．C 推理判断题．根据文章第五段If one person steals，it destroys trust and hurts everyone．I can put up with many things，but not with people who steal．If one of my players were caught stealing，he'd be gone可知我无法忍受盗窃行为，是因为我认为盗窃行为破坏了人与人之间的信任，伤害了每个人的感情，故选C．
40．D 推理判断题．根据文章第四段I followed my dad's advice for the rest of that summer and have lived by his words ever since．可知这次经历不仅仅对那个暑假而且对我的一生都有深远的影响，并让我无法忍受欺骗行为．故选D．
点评 考查学生的细节理解和推理判断能力．做细节理解题时一定要找到文章中的原句，和题干进行比较，再做出正确选择．在做推理判断题时不要以个人的主观想象代替文章的事实，要根据文章事实进行合乎逻辑的推理判断．
