Word that I was trustworthy and hard-working__47 around town.A local clothing store offered me credit(赊账)__48 I was only in seventh grade.I immediately__49 a $68 sports coat and a $22 pair of shoes.I was___50 only 65 cents an hour,and I already owed the storekeeper$90!So I learned_ 51 the danger of easy credit.I paid it__52 as soon as I could.

答案
36---55 DABCC ABCDD ABACB DDBCA
解析
36.本段叙述作者干活的经历始于幼年。第一句说六岁即和父兄一起干活。接下来这句话依然表明作者很早开始的工作经历。用by表示不迟于……。答案为D。
37.pull表示“拉,拔”,后面有提示信息out of,说明他的工作是把钉子从旧木板中拔出来。B项put“放”;C项picked“捡”;D项pressed“按、压”均不符合题意。答案为A。
38.第一段叙述的作者帮助家里干活都不是真正意义上的“工作”,而本段说的at JM"s Restaurant所做的才是他头一个“真正的”工作。答案为B。
39.clearing tables“收拾桌子”,与washing dishes并列的活儿应该是抹桌子。B项pick“打包”;D项empty“使……空……”显然不可能。A项sweep意思是清扫,显然不合适。答案为C。
40.前一句中main这个词是一个提示。作者的主要任务是打杂儿,但有时也帮厨。答案为C。
41.head to意思是朝某处去,根据句意作者每天放学后就去JM"s 工作到10点。而turn to 转向;change to 转而;move to 迁至,都与句意不符。答案为A。
42.本段叙述作者对工作的感受。只有work 与本段主旨有关。Even这个词也起到了提示作用。不仅every day,而且on Saturdays都要工作。答案为B。
43.考虑一下当时作者的心情。At that age,it was difficult...在那个还是孩子的年龄,这是很难做到的。观察几个选项,watch最符合作者当时的心态,即眼睁睁地看着别的孩子
去玩,而自己却要工作。答案为C。
44.working allowed…表示“工作允许……”A项“要求,请求”;B项“告诉”;C项“答应,许诺”均不符合。答案为D。
45.因为该篇一直在谈论工作,故应选D。A项study“学习”;B项power“力量”;C项age“年龄”均与文章主旨不符。
46.proud表示“感到自豪的,骄傲的”,从所举事例可以看出是工作允许“我”拥有的,即和朋友出去时由“我”付账,并因此感到骄傲。答案为A。
47.本段叙述勤奋的工作为作者带来良好的声誉。小镇上到处传扬着对作者的赞誉。主语word意思是消息。get around是固定搭配,指消息的传播。答案为B。
48.四个选项都是连词。下一句I was only in seventh grade 中only一词提示为转折关系。虽然作者才七年级,但当地一家服装店已同意让他赊账。答案为A。
49.用charged表示记账,这个动作是在offered me credit之后立即做的。答案为C。
50.这是一个并列句,强调挣得少,欠的多。挣钱是make money。答案为B。
51.early在此表年龄小。作者在年龄很小时就被允许赊账,而且已经赊了90美元的账,而他每小时的工资只有65美分,所以他在年龄很小时就懂得了赊账的危险性。A项gradually“逐渐的”;B项greatly“巨大的”;C项hardly“几乎不”均不合题意。答案为D。
52.pay off是固定搭配,意思是还清债务。文章通篇讲的是作者幼年工作的经历。因此作者早早便懂得了赊账的危险,只要一有能力,便还清了。答案为D。
53.level表示程度。工作为作者带来了一种自我满足感,这是他的朋友们很少体验到的。point一点;part部分;sign 迹象,均不合题意。答案为B。
54.定语从句修饰my father,作主语,指人,排除A、D。有逗号隔开,是非限制性定语从句,排除B。答案为C。
55.understand“懂得”;demand“需要”;offer“提供”;fear“畏惧”。根据句意排除B、D。offer responsibility不成立,答案为A。

As a child,I was truly afraid of the dark and of getting lost;these fears were very real and caused me some uncomfortable moments.
Maybe it was the strange__36 things looked and sounded in my familiar room at night that__37 me so much.There was never total__38 ,but a streetlight or passing car lights__39 clothes hung over a chair take on the__40 of a wild animal.Out of the corner of my__41,I saw the curtains seem to move when there was no__42 .A tiny sound in the floor would seem a hundred times louder than in the daylight.My__43 would run wild,and my heart would beat fast.I would__44 very still so that the“enemy”would not discover me.
Another of my childhood fears was that I would get lost, __45 on the way home from school.Every morning I got on the school bus right near my home—that was no__46 .After school, __47 ,when all the buses were__48 up along the street,I was afraid that I"d get on the wrong one and be taken to some__49 neighbourhood.On school or family trips to a park or a museum,I wouldn"t__50 the leaders out of my sight.
Perhaps one of the worst fears__51 all I had as a child was that of not being liked or__52 by others.Being popular was so important to me__53 ,and the fear of not being liked was a__54 one.
One of the processes(过程) of growing up is being able to __55 and overcome our fears.Understanding the things that frightened us as children helps us achieve greater success later in life.

Have you ever regretted doing something you shouldn"t have done or something you didn"t do which you should have? At one time or another we probably all have.There"s no __51in getting depressed about it now—it"s no __52 crying overspilt(溢出的)milk.However,there may be some gain in thinking about exactly what happened and why __53 we might be able to draw some conclusions for the future.
One thing we all do now and again is to lose our __54 with a friend or close relative.The odd thing is that we more often display great __55 towards someone we are fond of than towards __56 .The explanation may be that we see friends and relatives as a kind of safety net, an opportunity to __57 a bit of steam in a safe environment,while the consequences (后果)of __58 a stranger could be far more serious.
Being honest is usually thought of as a virtue (美德) and undoubtedly this is the __59 .On the other hand,we have all experienced occasions when we have spoken our minds to someone,telling them exactly what we feel,and then have found ourselves filled with feelings of __60 .Perhaps we should have kept our mouths shut?
