Mr father woke me up early one summer morning when I was fourteen and announced(宣布): “Get up, you’re going with me to cut the grass in the garden.”
The idea that my father thought I was old enough to help him in his business made me feel proud and excited. From sunup to sundown, my father, my younger brother and I worked in the large garden. By the end of the day I was too tired to say a word but I felt good. This was my first time to help my father in his business. I got $ 6 for my work that day.
One day my father found some leaves I had missed and pulled me aside. “Take away these leaves!” he said, “and don’t make me have to tell you to do it again.” The message was clear. Today I value(珍视) the importance of doing a job well the first time. It will never fail to impress(给……留下印象) the person you are working for.
After two years, my father told me and my brother that he felt we were old enough to cut the grass by ourselves. Every Saturday during my last two years of high school, we set off early in the morning with the same strong wish we had gained while working under our father.
Looking after the garden was neither exciting nor high paying, but that didn’t matter. It taught me that any job was a good job and that whatever I was paid was more than I had before.
A newspaper reporter once asked me how someone could possibly live with hard work and low pay. “If you’re only thinking about hard work and money, you probably don’t want to do any better than you are doing.” I answered. In every job, from cutting the grass to washing dishes, I’ve learned much. I’ve learned something that helps me in my next job.
If you work hard enough, you can learn from any job you do.
1.The writer felt proud and cited when he was asked to cut the grass because he thought __________.
A. he could cut the grass himself
B. he could make much money
C. he could enjoy sunup and sundown
D. he could help his family
2.The word “message” in the passage probably refers to(指) __________.
A. not leaving leaves behind
B. giving no excuse for your mistakes
C. doing a good job at the very beginning
D. missing things which can be found out
3.When the writer finished high school, maybe he was __________ years old.
A. fourteen B. eighteen C. twenty D. twenty-two
4.Which of the following does the writer probably think is the most important?
A. Keeping learning from any job you had.
B. Asking no money for work.
C. Finishing work as quickly as possible.
D. Keeping looking for different jobs.
5.The writer probably thinks his father is __________.
A. lazy B. helpful C. careless D. funny
