When my brother and I were children, we spent a few weeks each summer in the countryside with our uncle. He was a geologist and loved to go on long walks to find stones to add to his collection at the university. More often than not, we followed him.

One day, we left early and this time, our uncle gave us two backpacks. "You can help me carry the samples, " he explained.

Sure, why not? The whole day, we walked around the countryside, and every now and then,our uncle put stones in our bags.We were a bit surprised that sometimes he also took some stones out from our bags, but thought he had just found better samples.

We reached the house in the late afternoon. The backpacks were so heavy that we were really tired out when we put them on the ground. Yet our uncle's backpack was half-empty.

"Why did you give us so many stones? " we asked. "I didn't. You did, " he said, waiting for a while before continuing. "You did not know it, but made you go through a little attitude test today."

"What do you mean an 'attitude test'?" we wanted to know.

"It is something someone once did to me. You see, I listened to every word you said. And whenever　 you complained about anyone or anything, I added a stone to your bags. And whenever you talked about something in an attitude of positive thinking, I took out a stone. And now look at your backpacks.

We did. They were full. "I hope you remember this little attitude test. You see, your negative thoughts are like stones. You carry them in your mind just like those stones in a backpack. The more negative thoughts you have, the heavier your mind is. So look at those bags and start paying attention to what you say and how you say things."

This little lesson was one of the most important I ever had. And I remember my uncle with great love for teaching us one of the most important lessons in life—the power of attitude.

1.A geologist is a person who _______

A.grows plants B.studies the earth C.sells stones D.draws pictures

2.When the writer and his brother returned home late in the afternoon, _______.

A.they were tired but happy that they had helped their uncle

B.they wished they could collect more sample stones

C.they found that their bags were filled with stones

D.they were angry to find their uncle's bag half-empty

When my brother and I were growing up, we mowed(割草)yards during the summer to make pocket money. Dad was our salesman. He traded our service to neighbors at a price they could not refuse. My brother and I got $10 per yard. I later found out our friends had asked $20 or more for the same amount of work.

One afternoon we were cutting our neighbor's yard, the grass was knee-high. What made matters worse was that we had an old lawn mower that kept shutting off as we worked through her lawn. This particular afternoon, I was finishing up and was tired and sweaty. I was just about to leave when I saw Dad pointing to one lone piece. Thinking about the poor money I was getting paid for cutting grass so high that it almost broke the mower, I ignored him and kept walking. Dad called me out, “You missed a piece”.

I frowned(皱眉), hoping he would let me slide and go home. He kept pointing. So angry, I went back to cut that piece of grass. I said to myself, “That one piece isn't hurting anyone. Why won't he just let it go?”

But when I became an adult, I understood his message: When you are running a business, the work you do says a great deal about you. If you want to be seen as a businessman with honesty, you must produce a quality product. That single piece of grass meant the job was not done. Other neighbors took notice of the good work we did and we soon got more business.

The lesson my dad taught me stayed with me: If you say you are going to perform a job at certain time, keep your word. Give your customers the kind of service you would like to receive. It shows how sincere you are and how much pride you take in your work.

1.Why did Dad ask much less for mowing the yards?

A.Because he was not a good businessman. B.Because he didn’t care about money too much.

C.Because he thought his children s service was bad. D.Because the owner of the yard was too poor.

2.When Dad asked the writer to go back, the writer felt_____________.

A.excited B.surprised C.angry D.pleased

3.The underlined word “sincere”in the last paragraph can probably be replaced by.

A.clever B.honest C.happy D.able

4.The best title for the passage may be__________.

A.The Memory of My Childhood B.The Yard of Our Neighbor

C.The Lesson from My Dad D.The Grass Cutting Days

If you walk along the River Thames, there are lots of interesting buildings to see.
