father was a foreman of a sugar-cane plantation in rio piedras, puerto rico. my first job was to drive the oxen（牛） that ploughed the cane fields. i would walk behind an ox, guiding him with a broomstick. for $ 1 a day, i worked eight hours straight, with no food breaks.it was very tedious work, but it prepared me for life and taught me many lasting lessons. because the plantation owners were always watching us, i had to be on time every day and work as hard as i could. ive never been late for any job since. i also learned about being respectful and faithful to the people you work for. more important, i earned my pay; it never entered my mind to say i was sick just because i didnt want to work.i was only six years old, but i was doing a mans job. our family needed every dollar we could make because my father never earned more than $ 18 a week. our home was a three-room wood shack with a dirty floor and no toilet. nothing made me prouder than bringing home money to help my mother, father, two brothers and three sisters. this gave me self-esteem(自尊心), one of the most important things a person can have. when i was seven, i got work at a golf course near our house. my job was to stand down the fairway and spot the balls as they landed, so the golfers could find them. losing a ball meant you were fired, so i never missed one. some nights i would lie in bed and dreamt of making thousands of dollars by playing golf and being able to buy a bicycle. the more i dreamed, the more i thought. why not? i made my first golf club out of guava limb(番石榴树枝) and a piece of pipe. then i hammered an empty tin can into the shape of a ball. and finally i dug two small holes in the ground and hit the ball back and forth. i practiced with the same devotion and intensity. i learned working in the field except now i was driving golf balls with club, not oxen with a broomstick.46. the word “tedious” in paragraph 2 most probably means _. a. difficult b. boring c. interesting d. unusual47. the writer learned that_ from his first job. a. he should work for those who he liked most b. he should work longer than what he was expected c. he should never fail to say hello to his owner d. he should be respectful and faithful to the people he worked for48 _ gave the writer self-esteem. a. having a family of eight people b. owning his own golf course c. bringing money back home to help the family d. helping his father with the work on the plantation49. which of the following statements is true according to the passage? a. he wanted to be a successful golfer. b. he wanted to run a golf course near his house. c. he was satisfied with the job he got on a plantation. d. he wanted to make money by guiding oxen with a broomstick.b篇mexico city is truly one of the most amazing cities in the world with a mixture of both the old and new world. from the moment your plane starts to land in this vast city, you know that your trip will be quite an adventure.once in your taxi and the moment you leave the airport, you are amazed at the large amount of slow traffic. the volume of the traffic can be stressful to some. the paseo de la reforma (改革大道), running southwest across the city, is one of the major tourist and business areas in mexico city with many high quality hotels only walking distance from great restaurants and other tourist attractions. the only problem you will have is trying to see all of these sites during your vacation time. one of the most popular attractions in this area is the national museum of anthropology along the northwest part of the street. there are thousands of artifacts on display showing the history of the area and numerous items found from the many aztec sites in the area. walking southwest from the museum, you will soon reach the mexico city zoo, which is a great place to spend an afternoon. across the street from the museum is the chapultepec castle, once an important site in the mexican-american war. its also a good idea to take the train up the hill to where the castle is located as the hill is steep (陡峭的). its important to keep in mind that mexico city is over 7,000 feet above s
