原文
My parents ran a small restaurant. The restaurant was open 24 hours a day, seven days a week. And my first job, when I was six years old, was shining shoes for customers. My duties increased as I grew older. By age ten, I was cleaning tables and washing plates. My father made it clear that I had to meet certain standards. I had to be on time, hard-working, and polite to the customers. I was never paid for any work I did. One day , I made a mistake of telling dad I thought he should give me l0 pounds a week. He said " OK, then how about you paying me for the three meals a day when you eat here and for the times you bring in your friends for free drinks? " He figured I owed him about 40 pounds a week. This taught me quite a lot.

答案与分析

11 C 这题的考点是when I was six years old, was shining shoes for customers. “when”是一个很重要的时间提示词，应该抓住。看这个选项就知道是比较细节的题，我们应该适当记些笔记。C 项shining shoes后面写个6 A B选项后面写个10。这样做题就很容易了

12 B 这题的考点是这样一句话“My father made it clear that I had to meet certain standards. I had to be on time, hard-working, and polite to the customers.” 这里一连用了两个had to 必须如何…… 这是一个着重强调的关键词。那在这里列举的这些事情里面 be on time 对应B选项是正确。其他选项都没有在这里被提到。

13 A 这题的考点在One day , I made a mistake of telling dad I thought he should give me l0 pounds a week 。 one day 是一个时间提示，听到这种 “一天”，我们应该很敏感马上想到，这一天怎么了？发生了什么？ 这里就是男孩要的爸爸付给他每周10 pounds的工资。选A

14 D 这题考得是倒数第二句He figured I owed him about 40 pounds a week.。 父亲算出我应该付给他每周40 pounds 所以选D
