【解析】【1】由第一段第一句可知，假日的早上“我”不用去上学，而根据第一段最后一句可知，在这样一个特别的早上，“我”想早起，这说明“我”在假期的早上通常是不会早起的，所以可以推断，在假日，妈妈允许我晚一点儿起床。

【2】由上文可知，妈妈允许我晚一点儿起床，尽管如此，“我”很想在这个特别的早上早起床。前后语意为转折关系，所以用however。

【3】由下文对擦车工擦车的描述可知，作者所观察的是一处停车场，而不是“公共汽车站”“学校”和“市场”。

【4】由下文可知，作者学到的是对人生有用的东西，最后一段最后一句中的usefully是提示词。

【5】“我”在窗前观察着走过的几个人，看着他们进入他们的汽车并驾车离去，而与此同时，“留意到/注意到”一个骑自行车的老人（因与众不同而留意/注意）。

【6】由本句的后半句可知，老人的抹布和瓶子放在后边的车架上，那么他的水桶是挂在自行车车把上。这是描述这位擦车工骑自行车带着他的擦车工具的情形。

【7】老人从一辆车移动到另一辆，给车做清洁工作。

【8】从地上的水来判断，老人已经完成12辆或者更多车的擦洗工作了。finish doing sth.做完某事，为固定搭配。

【9】在我观察老人工作的时候，几个想法浮现出来。cross one’s mind（想法）浮上心头，为固定搭配。

【10】从上句He wasn’t well-ressed可知，老人穿得不是很好，由此可以推断老人穿了一件朴素的T恤衫。

【11】老人骑的自行车也绝对不是现在骑自行车的人想在大街上骑的那一种。自行车一定是“骑自行车的人”骑，而非“修理人员”“商人”和“汽车驾驶员”骑。

【12】前文描述了老人的穿着很朴素，骑的自行车也很老旧，但是老人对生活很满意。其中but是提示词。

【13】在他辛勤工作的时候，他还和经过的路人挥手打招呼。只有“打招呼”才能吸引人过来聊天。

【14】而且不时地和老人们交谈。“与……聊天”用chat with表示。

【15】他好像对他所做的工作有一种易于让人觉察的骄傲感。根据下文的描述“老人在擦完挡风玻璃后进行欣赏，擦净轮子后看擦得怎么样”可知，老人对自己的工作有一种自豪感。

【16】擦完挡风玻璃，他会往后站来欣赏一下。老人是一个擦车工，因此在这儿是指“擦洗”挡风玻璃。

【17】擦干净轮子以后，他又往后站去看轮子在他擦过以后是什么样子。前面提到“擦完挡风玻璃后欣赏自己的成果”，而这一次“欣赏”是又一次，所以用again。

【18】“我”感觉这是我学到的一课。作者是一名学生，在现实生活中，他从擦车老人的忙碌过程中学到一课。

【19】如果身体健康并愿意工作，人在任何年纪都不应该靠乞讨为生。

【20】这一部分呼应开头—“我”假期早上通常在睡觉，“我”为年轻的自己无所事事而感到羞愧。
