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 old boards.

  I got my fast 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 money. 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 sport 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 think in life you can't have.”How right he was!

解析:

  1.D 导解:从句意看,表示“等我八岁时”.

  2.A 导解:后面介词是out of,可见此处表示“从木板上把钉子拔出来”.

  3.B 导解:上文提到帮父亲拔钉子,一个一分钱,而此时是真正意义上的工作,其他项(通常的,主要的,具体特定的)不合句意.

  4.C 导解:帮忙扫地清理桌子,clear the table表示“收拾桌子”.

  5.C 导解:但有时也帮助做饭.

  6.A 导解:动词head表示向某个方向“动身”.

  7.B 导解:上下文讲“我在JM's打工上班”.

  8.C 导解:“看着”别的同学去玩,而“我”却要工作.

  9.D 导解:“我”不喜欢工作,但工作能给“我”带来报酬.promise sb. to do sth. 中不定式动作的发出者是句子主语,因此不合句意.

  10.D 导解:下文的buying与D有联系,有工作就有收入,才能买单.

  11.A 导解:“我”能用自己的劳动果实犒劳大家,当然自豪了.

  12.B 导解:get round/around/about为固定动词短语,表示“(消息等)传开来”.

  13.A 导解:D项上下文时态不对,选A“尽管我还在上七年级”,although与从句中only相呼应.

  14.C 导解:此处charge不表示“要价”,而表示“把……记在某人账上”,与下文“欠店主90美元”相呼应.

  15.B 导解:“我”每小时赚65分钱,make money表示“挣钱”.

  16.D 导解:这还是“我”七年级的事,小小的“我”就会赊账了.

  17.D 导解:pay off(the money/debt)表示“还清”.

  18.B 导解:自我满足感人人都有,他们没达到“我”的层次.

  19.C 导解:引导定语从句修饰my father.

  20.A 导解:从句意和选项来看,C项与后文“责任”搭配在此含义不对,因此选A,只要你明白了什么是奉献(所以“我”请客)和责任(后来赊账的经历).
