and when I was four, my family moved to a housing project in East Los Angeles.
Even though we struggled to make ends meet, my parents stressed to me and my
four brothers and sisters how fortunate we were to live in a great country with limitless
opportunities. They influenced us with the concepts of family, faith and nationalism.
I got my first real job when I was ten. My dad injured his back working in a cardboard-
box factory and was retrained as a hairstylist. He rented space in a little shopping mall
and gave his shop the fancy name of Mr Ben's Coiffure.
The owner of the shopping center gave Dad a discount on his rent for cleaning the
parking lot three nights a week, which meant getting up at 3 a.m.. To pick up rubbish,
Dad used a little machine that looked like a lawn mower. Mom and I emptied garbage
cans and picked up litter by hand. It took two to three hours to clean the lot. I'd sleep
in the car on the way home.
I did this for two years, but the lessons I learned have lasted a lifetime. I acquired
discipline and a strong work ethic (道德), and learned at an early age the importance of
balancing life's competing interests-in my case, school, homework and a job. This really
helped during my senior year of a high school, when I worked 40 hours a week flipping
burgers at a fast-food joint while taking a full load of college preparation courses.
The hard work paid off. I attended the US Military Academy and went on to receive
graduate degrees in law and business from Harvard. Later, I joined a big Los Angeles
law firm and was elected to the California State Assembly (州议会). In these jobs and
in everything else I've done, I have never forgotten those nights in the parking lot. The
experience taught me that there is dignity in all work and that if people are working to
provide for themselves and their families that is something we should honor.
B. lived a poor but happy life
C. were lucky to move to the USA
D. had many ways to make money
B. did a part-time job
C. worked as a barber
D. became a street cleaner
B. how to do two things well at a time
C. that discipline and work were of equal value
D. that I must do as many things as possible at a time
B. are cleaning the parking lot
C. have achieved a lot in their lives
D. are bearing their responsibilities
He only finished fourth in this year's Super Boy talent show. But it didn't stop him capturing the hearts of thousands of fans. He can hit high notes with ease. And he is very modest. Zhang Jie,25,shed(流) sweat and tears all the way through the competition, but he never gave up.
“No matter how life treats him, he always fights back bravely ,”said Wu Chunyan, a Senior 2 student in Hubei. “He has never lost his dream of being a singer.” The road to fame is always rocky, and Zhang is no exception.

His life changed after he competed in My Show. He won first place and signed with a record company. “I was very excited and regarded it as a way to take me closer to my dream,” he said. But the company gave him little money to make music and slowly began to ignore him. Zhang even borrowed money to buy costumes. “Life has its ups and downs. But the tough reality only makes me stronger,” he said.
