My father woke me up early one summer morning when I was fourteen and said," 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(生意) made me feel proud and excited. From sunrise to sunset, my father, my younger brother and I worked in the large garden, in a rich part of Atlanta, Georgia. 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 for my work that day.
One day, my father found some leaves I had missed and pulled me aside. "Take away these leaves!" said seriously, "and don't make me have to tell you to do it again." The message was clear. Today I value it, which my father gave to me that day. It will always be helpful to impress (给……留下印象)the person you are working for.

I could learn something meaningful from every job and it better and better .One day, a newspaper reporter once asked me how someone could possibly live with hard work and low pay. "If you only think about hard work and money, ▲ ”, I answered.

When my daughter was in primary school, she brought home four small twigs（嫩枝）one day. Her school gave these twigs to the students to plant. None of them looked very hardy, but with hope for the future, I planted them in our backyard. Over the years, because of an accident with the lawnmower（割草机）and poor soil, three of them died. Only one survived. It grew crooked（弯弯曲曲的）and very slowly. It never got very tall. In the end, it looked more like a fat bush than a tree. A few years ago, I noticed that it was starting to die. The lower branches were becoming bare（秃的）.Only the top third of the tree was still green. Last summer I did my best to save it by feeding it a lot of fertilizer（肥料), but it didn’t work.
Later one morning, I went out and looked at it again. I was wondering whether it would be better to just cut it down. It would make mowing the lawn easier. As I walked over to take a closer look at it, however, I noticed something moving within the leaves. It was a robin（知更鸟）patiently building a nest in the topmost branches. I smiled when I looked at it. I thought maybe this old tree was still useful. It might not be healthy or pretty, but it was still giving a bird a home. This tree made me know that all of our lives have purpose. It doesn’t matter if we are young and strong of old and sickly. Until our last breath, we have things to do, love to give, and joy to share.
We can help to make this world a better and more beautiful place.
1.What made the three trees die, according to the writer?
A.The grew out of small and hardly twig.
B.The daughter didn’t plant them correctly.
C.The soil around them was not rich.
D.There was no sunlight in the backyard.
2.What did the only remaining tree look like a few years ago?
A.It was straight and tall.
B.It grew fat very quickly.
C.It looked like a bird's nest.
D.There were not many leaves on it.
3.The underlined word “topmost” in Paragraph 2 mean __________ in Chinese.
A.顶端的 B.侧面的 C.最多的 D.高级的
4.What might the writer do with the tree later?
A.He might cut it down.
B.He might leave it as it is.
C.He might build more nests on it.
D.He might take away some of its leaves.
5.In the story, the writer aims to tell us that_____.
A.we should take care of animals and plants
B.we are living in a beautiful world
C.every living thing has its own purpose
D.we should work hard until our last breath

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.

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.
