    Pulling heavy suitcases all day in the summer is hard work, especially when you're a thin 14-year-old.That was me in 1940-the youngest and smallest baggage boy at New York City's Pennsyl-vania 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 the eye."  They're 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 possessions. 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.
    Whether you're on a sports team, in an office or a member of a family, if you can't trust one another, there's going to be trouble. 
    小题1:What can be inferred about the baggage boys? 
    A．They could earn much, but they had to work hard.
    B．Many of them earned money in a dishonest way.
    C．They were all from poor families.
    D．They were all thin, young boys.
    小题2:What does the father's advice imply?
    A．It is wrong to give more pay to the passengers.
    B．Don't believe them if they are paying you more.
    C．Don't follow others to overcharge the passengers.
    D．It is difficult to work hard and live as an honest boy.
    小题3:The writer can't put up with stealing because he thinks that ______. 
    A．it is a totally shared experience
    B．it is considered as the most dangerous
    C．it does great harm to human relationship
    D．it may lead to the loss of his sports team
    小题4:It can be concluded from the text that ______. 
    A．his father's advice helped him to decide which job to take up
    B．working in the sports team was his most important experience
    C．he learnt much from his shared experience with his team members
    D．his experience as a baggage boy had a great influence on his later life

    小题1:B
    小题2:A
    小题3:C
    小题4:D

    试题分析：文章介绍作者在纽约宾西法尼亚火车站做小行李童的经历，爸爸教会他要诚实，让我记忆深刻。这段经历对作者的人生有深远的影响。
    小题1:细节题：第一段虽然提到这些帮别人拎东西的小行李童很辛苦，但是没有提到能赚多少钱，本项说他们能赚很多显然是不正确的。从这一句：I began noticing that the others were overcharging(要价过高)passengers."我注意到很多人都向乘客要高价。" 可知，很多人以一种不诚实的方式赚钱。所以，正确选项应该是B。至于C、和D.说这些行李童都来自贫寒家庭或者又瘦又小都没有提及。
    小题2:父亲的建议是：你付出了一天的诚实劳动，乘客愿意多付钱就多付钱。隐含的意思是你不可以像其他人一样多向他们索取。故应该选A。
    小题3:推理题：作者不能忍受偷窃行为是因为它是：A、一种完完全全的共同参与经历。B、被认为是最危险的行为。C、它是对人际关系的一种破坏。D、它可能会使他的运动队造成损失。从倒数第二段的句子：If one person steals, it destroys trust and hurts everyone.可见C选项是最佳答案。
    小题4:推理题：从这句可见：Of all the jobs I've had, it was my experience at Pennsylvania Railway Station that has stuck with me(在我所有从事过的工作中，正是我在纽约宾西法尼亚火车站的经历让我记忆深刻。所以说这段经历对作者的人生有深远的影响。)选D。

    Like lots of small-business owners, Lola Gonzalez had to decide to cut down her company’s nine-person staff (员工) when the economic recovery began to fail last spring. Unlike other companies, she picked an unlikely employee to lay off (解雇): herself.
    Her business began to have problems in 2008 after going through her books (账簿)
    One day, her husband, Marcos, told her she had to reduce her payroll（薪金总额）by one person. Gonzalez said at a meeting, “I want you all to know that I have to lay somebody off and it’s been a very difficult decision. And that person is me.” Employees first froze in amazement and then burst into laughter until they realized she was serious. Gonzalez ’s employees said they were grateful for her kindness.
    Her reason was simple. Although she ran the business and her employees did the legwork (跑腿), she thought she could find work more easily than her staff. Sure enough, she soon got a job as a social worker for a non-profit organization called Devereux Kids. She enjoys her social-worker job now, but the salary (薪水) cut has required some lifestyle changes. She and Marcos no longer eat out daily; they no longer pay for their son’s car and mobile phone, and they changed their car to a smaller one to save $300 a month.
    Her business has picked up a bit recently and Marcos has begun to work part-time at Gonzalez’s company. Gonzalez says she has no plan to return to work at her company until the economic situation becomes better, perhaps in a year. Her employees, however, will get Christmas bonuses (奖金) this year.
    小题1:How many workers are there in Gonzalez’s company at present?
    A．8. B．9. C．10. D．11.
    小题2:How did her employees feel at first when they heard Gonzalez’s decision?
    A．Happy.B．Grateful.C．Surprised.D．Unbelievable.
    小题3:After leaving her company, _____________.
    A．Gonzalez sold her car and went to work by bus
    B．Gonzalez always had meals in a restaurant
    C．Gonzalez’s son helped her a lot
    D．Gonzalez changed her lifestyle a lot
    小题4:From the text, we can learn that ___________.
    A．Gonzalez will not return to her company in future
    B．Gonzalez’s business has improved a little lately
    C．Gonzalez got her social-worker job with great difficulty
    D．Marcos lost his job and had to work at Gonzalez’s company
