Pulling heavy suitcases all day in the summer is hard work,especially when you're a thin 14-year-old.That was me in 1940the youngest and smallest baggage boy at New York City's Pennsylvania Railway Station.
After just a few r 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 l 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.lf one of my Players were caught stealing,he'd be gone.

解析:
这是一道细节推断题。第二段 After just a few days on the job, I began noticing that the other fellows were overcharging passengers.说明其他的人向旅客多要钱,这是一种不诚实的行为。这是一道细节推断题。作者父亲的话“ If they want to do that,you let them do that.”说明他劝告自己的儿子不要像他们那样向旅客多要钱。这是一道细节推断题。根据倒数第二段 If one person steals,it destroys trust and hurts everyone.可推断出作者不能容忍盗窃的原因是盗窃会毁掉整个团队。这是一道主旨题。作者讲述了自己小时候在车站当运输工的经历,这段经历对他的一生造成了巨大的影响。 |
