My father woke me up early one morning when I was fourteen, and announced "Get up! You are going with me to cut grass." [23]I felt proud and excited, because my father thought I was responsible enough to help him in his business. Still, that first day was very hard. From sunrise to sunset, my father, my younger brother and I cut and trimmed very large yards in a well-to-do part of the city. By the end of the day, I was exhausted, but I felt good. I had put in a hard day’s labor and had earned six dollars. One day, my father spotted some leaves I had missed cutting, and pulled me aside.
     [24] "Cut that section again," he said firmly, "and don’t make me have to tell you to do it again." The message was clear. Today, [25]I stress the importance of doing a job right the first time. Every job I have held, from cutting lawns to washing dishes to working a machine on the construction site, I have learned something that helps me in my next job. If you work hard enough, you can learn from any job you do.
23. How did the speaker feel when his father asked him to help cut grass?
24. What did his father do when the speaker missed cutting some leaves?
25. What did the speaker want to tell us in this passage?

选项 A、One can benefit a lot from working with his father.
B、Manual laborers shouldn’t be looked down upon.
C、One should always do his job earnestly.
D、Teenagers tend to be careless.

答案 C

解析 题目询问在这篇文章中作者想要告诉我们什么。本题关键在于抓听“我强调一次性把一项工作做好的 重要性。”这是作者从割草这件事中总结出的经验教训。选项C(每个人都应该一贯地认真工作)是这句话的同义表达,故选C。文章尾句说,“如果很努力地工作,你就能从你做的任何工作中学到东西”,而不是A项中的 “和父亲一起工作”,故干扰项A不正确。
