Question

My First Job

    I was six when I joined my father and two elder brothers at sunrise in the fields of Eufaula, Okla.    1    the time I was eight I was helping Dad fix up old furniture. He gave me a cent for every nail I    2    out of old boards.

    I got my first    3    job, at JM's Restaurant in town, when I was 12. My main responsibilities (职责) were    4    tables and washing dishes,    5    sometimes I helped cook.

    Every day after school I would    6    to JM's and work until ten. Even on Saturdays I  7 from two until eleven. At that age it was difficult going to work and    8    my friends run off to swim or play. I didn't necessarily like work, but I loved what working    9    me to have. Because of my    10    I was always the one buying when my friends and I went to the local Tastee Freez. This made me    11   .

    Word that I was trustworthy and hard-working    12    around town. A local clothing store offered me credit (赊账)    13    I was only in seventh grade. I immediately    14    a $ 68 sports coat and a $ 22 pair of shoes. I was    15    only 65 cents an hour, and I already owed the storekeeper $ 90! So I learned    16    the danger of easy credit. I paid it    17  as soon as I could.

    My first job taught me self-control, responsibility and brought me a    18    of personal satisfaction few of my friends had experienced. As my father,    19    worked three jobs, once told me. “If you    20    sacrifice (奉献) and responsibility, there are not many things in life you can't have.” How right he was.
