From sunrise to sunset, my father, my younger brother and I worked in the large garden, in a rich part of Atlanta, Georgia. By the end of the day I was too tired to say a word but I felt good. This was my first time to help my father in his business. I got $ 6 for my work that day.One day my father found some leaves I had missed and pulled me aside. “Take away these leaves!” he said seriously, “and dont make me have to tell you to do it again.” The message was clear. Today I still value(珍视) it , which my father gave to me that day. It will always be helpful to impress (给留下印象) the person you are working for.After two years, I left home and went to another town to start my new life. Luckily for me, I quickly found a job to wash dishes in a restaurant. Every morning, I set off early, always with the same strong wish I got long long ago. I felt like I was old enough to be independent and make a living by myself.In fact, washing dishes was not exciting, but that didnt matter. It taught me that any job was a good job and whatever I got from the job was more than I had before. I could learn something meaningful from every job and do it better and better. One day, a newspaper reporter once asked me how someone could possibly live with hard work and low pay. “If you only think about hard work and money, 58” I answered.In every job, from cutting the grass to washing dishes, Ive learned much. Ive learned something that helps me in my next job.21 . The writer felt proud to cut the grass because .Ahe was not old enough to help his familyBhe thought he became important to his fathers businessChe could cut the grass without others helpDhe could get $6 that day by cutting grass22 .

At midnight Mr. King coughed again. He got up and took some medicine. Before he lay down again, he smoked. And he couldnt go to sleep any longer. He found the medicine book and began to read it. He was afraid he had lung cancer. He seemed to see death was waiting for him. Tears(眼泪) ran down his face. He didnt see his wife was standing by him.“Whats wrong with you, dear?” asked the woman. “Nothing,” the old man answered and covered his face with his hands. The old woman opened the book and understood at once. She said, “You must stop smoking right now.”“I began to smoke when I was nine, you know. How cant I do that?”“But I think health is more important.”Mr. King coughed again and his wife said, “Go to see a doctor tomorrow. He will be able to help you, I think.”The doctor told Mr. King to have an Xray examination of his lungs. And then he looked at the Xray carefully for a long time. “Tell me the truth, doctor.”said Mr.King, “Do you see any shadows(阴影)in my lungs?”“No, I dont see anything.”“Yes?” the old man said happily. “Really?”“Yes.

Thats because we make mistakes. But we erase the mistakes and try again. Thats what you must learn.”“Here,” she said, “Ill leave one eraser on your desk, so you will remember that everyone may make mistakes.” Donnie looked at Marry Anne and smiled.

Mrs. Brown lives by herself in a trailer park near Clovis. She said that Clyde, her 7-year-old cat, didnt come home for dinner more than a month ago. So she called the police.When the policeman asked her to describe Clyde, she told him that Clyde was about a foot high. A bell went off. “Is Clyde your child or your pet?” the officer suspiciously asked. “Well, hes my cat, of course,” Mrs. Brown replied. “Lady, youre supposed to report missing PERSONS, not missing CATS,” said the irritated policeman. “Well, who can I report this to?” she asked. “You cant. You have to ask around your neighborhood or put up flyers,” replied the officer.Mrs. Brown figured that a billboard would work a lot better than a “811” piece of paper on a telephone pole. There was an empty billboard at the end of her street just off the interstate highway. The billboard had phone number on it. She called that number, and they told her they could blow up a picture of Clyde (from Mrs. Browns family album) and put it on the billboard for all to see. They told her it would cost only $ 3, 000 a month. So she took most of the money out of her savings account and rented the billboard for a month.The month has passed, but Clyde has not appeared. Because she has almost no money in savings, Mrs. Brown called the local newspaper to see if anyone could help her rent the billboard for just one more month. She is waiting but, so far, no one has stepped forward.40 . Why did Mrs. Brown call the police?_.41 . It wasnt the polices responsibility to look for the cat, was it?_.42 .
