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.

答案與分析

11 C 這題的考點是when I was six years old, was shining shoes for customers. “when”是一個很重要的時間提示詞，應該抓住。看這個選項就知道是比較細節的題，我們應該適當記些筆記。C 項shining shoes后面寫個6 A B選項后面寫個10。這樣做題就很容易了

12 B 這題的考點是這樣一句話“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.” 這里一連用了兩個had to 必須如何…… 這是一個著重強調的關鍵詞。那在這里列舉的這些事情里面 be on time 對應B選項是正確。其他選項都沒有在這里被提到。

13 A 這題的考點在One day , I made a mistake of telling dad I thought he should give me l0 pounds a week 。 one day 是一個時間提示，聽到這種 “一天”，我們應該很敏感馬上想到，這一天怎么了？發生了什么？ 這里就是男孩要的爸爸付給他每周10 pounds的工資。選A

14 D 這題考得是倒數第二句He figured I owed him about 40 pounds a week.。 父親算出我應該付給他每周40 pounds 所以選D
