I was proud of working in the restaurant 35 I was also working for the good of the family. But my father 36 said that I had to meet certain standards(标准) to be part of the team. I 37 to be on time, hard-working, and polite to the 38 . I was 39 paid for the work I did at the restaurant. One day I made the mistake of suggesting to Dad that he 40 give me $10 a week. He said, “OK. How about you paying me for three meals a day you have here? And for the times you bring in your friends 41 free soft drinks?” He 42 the amount of money I owed him, about $40 a week.
I remember returning to Seattle after being 43 in the US Army for about two years. I had just been promoted(升职) to Captain at that time.

As far as Dad was concerned, I was just 48 member of the team. I reached for the mop(拖把).Working for Dad has taught me that the devotion(奉献) to a 49 is above all. It has nothing to do with 50 that team is for a family restaurant or the US Army.

试题分析:本文叙述了作者在小的时候在自家的餐馆做事,父亲就告诉他做事一定要有敬业的精神,要对顾客有礼貌,可是当作者在部队服役回来,因为他当时已经升职,他认为父亲不会再让他做一些家务了,可是他的父亲给他说的第一件事就是让作者打扫卫生,作者慢慢地认识到无论做什么事情,都应该对自己的团队有无私的奉献精神。
小题1:考查动名词及语境的理解。 A. washing希望; B. shining擦亮,闪烁; C. changing变化; D. repairing修理。根据下文shine the shoes again 可知我六岁的时候,我的第一份工作时擦亮(shining)用餐者的鞋,故选B。

举一反三
Born in 1907 in a village near Mexico City, Kahlo suffered from polio(小儿麻癖) at the age of seven. Her spine(脊柱) became bent as she grew older . Then, in 1925, her back was broken in several places in a school-bus accident. Throughout the rest of her life, the artist had many operations, but nothing was able to cure the terrible pain in her back. However, the accident had an unexpected side effect. While lying in her bed recovering, Kahlo taught herself to paint.
In 1929, she got married to Diego Rivera, another famous Mexico artist. Rivera"s strong influence on Kahlo"s style can be seen in her early works, but her later works from the 1940s, known today as her best works, show less influence from her husband.
Unfortunately, her works did not attract much attention in the 1930s and 1940s, even in her home country. Her first one-woman show in Mexico was not held until 1953. For more than a decade after her death in 1954, Kahlo"s works remained largely unnoticed by the world, but in the 1970s her works began to gain international fame at last.

The daughter sucked her teeth and 27 waited, asking repeatedly what he was doing. In about twenty minutes he turned off the 28 . He fished the carrots out and placed them in a bowl. He pulled the eggs out and placed them in a bowl. Then he spooned the coffee out and placed it in another. Turning to her he asked, “Darling, what do you see?”
“Carrots, eggs, and coffee,” she replied.

Pete"s grandfather had owned the shop until his death. Then the shop became Pete"s. The front window was full of beautiful old things: jewelry of a hundred years ago, gold and silver boxes, carved figures from China and Japan and other nations.
On this winter afternoon, a child stood there, her face close to the window. With large and serious eyes, she studied each piece in the window. Then, looking pleased, she stepped back from the window and went into the shop. Pete himself stood behind the counter. His eyes were cold as he looked at the small girl. “Please,” she began, “would you let me look at the pretty string of blue beads in the window?” Pete took the string of blue beads from the window. The beads were beautiful against his hand as he held the necklace up for her to see.
“They are just right,” said the child as though she were alone with the beads. “Will you wrap them up in pretty paper for me, please? I"ve been looking for a really wonderful Christmas present for my sister.”
“How much money do you have?” asked Pete.
She put a handful of pennies on the counter. “This is all I have,” she explained simply. “I"ve been saving the money for my sister"s present.”
Pete looked at her, his eyes thoughtful. Then he carefully closed his hand over the price mark on the necklace so that she could not see it. How could he tell her the price? The happy look in her big blue eyes struck him like the pain of an old wound.
“Just a minute,” he said and went to the back of the shop. “What"s your name?” he called out. He was very busy about something.
“Jean Grace,” answered the child.
When Pete returned to the front of the shop, he held a package in his hand. It was wrapped in pretty Christmas paper.
“There you are,” he said. “Don"t lose it on the way home.”
She smiled happily at him as she ran out of the door. Through the window he watched her go. He felt more alone than ever.
Something about Jean Grace and her string of beads had made him feel once more the pain of his old grief. The child"s hair was as yellow as the sunlight; her eyes were as blue as the sea. Once upon a time, Pete had loved a girl with hair of that same yellow and with eyes just as blue. And the necklace of blue stones had been meant for her.
But one rainy night, a car had gone off the road and struck the girl. After she died, Pete felt that he had nothing left in the world except his grief. The blue eyes of Jean Grace brought him out of that world of self-pity and made him remember again all that he had lost. The pain of remembering was so great that Pete wanted to run away from the happy Christmas shoppers who came to look at his beautiful old things during the next ten days.
When the last shopper had gone, late on Christmas Eve, the door opened and a young woman came in. Pete could not understand it, but he felt that he had seen her before. Her hair was sunlight yellow and her eyes were sea-blue. Without speaking, she put on the counter a package wrapped in pretty Christmas paper. When Pete opened the package, the string of blue beads lay again before him.
“Did this come from your shop?” she asked.
Pete looked at her with eyes no longer cold. “Yes, it did,” he said.
“Are the stones real?”
“Yes. They aren"t the best turquoise(绿松石), but they are real.”
“Can you remember to whom you sold them?”
“She was a small girl. Her name was Jean. She wanted them for her sister"s Christmas present.”
“How much were they?”
“I can"t tell you that,” he said. “The seller never tells anyone else what a buyer pays.”
“But Jean has never had more than a few pennies. How could she pay for them?”
“She paid the biggest price one can ever pay,” he said.
For a moment there was no sound in the little shop. Then somewhere in the city, church bells began to ring. It was midnight and the beginning of another Christmas Day.
“But why did you do it?” the girl asked.
Pete put the package into her hands.
“There is no one else to whom I can give a Christmas present,” he said. “It is already Christmas morning. Will you let me take you to your home? I would like to wish you a Merry Christmas at your door.”
And so, to the sound of many bells, Pete Richards and a girl whose name he had not yet learned walked out into the hope and happiness of a new Christmas Day.
