17.DAD was always full of advice,but one of the biggest lessons he taught me one summer was about having a strong work ethic (道德).When my brother and I were growing up,we mowed (修剪) yards during the summer to earn pocket change.Dad was our salesman.He told our neighbors about our service and offered a price they could not refuse.My brother and I got﹩10 (64yuan) per yard.I later found out that our friends were charging﹩20or more for the same amount of work.
Every time we headed out to mow lawns,Dad was there to watch.I used to wonder why he came with us.He stood supervising (監(jiān)督) our work in the heat when he could have been inside relaxing with air conditioning and an icy drinking
One day we were cutting our next-door neighbor's yard.She always waited until the grass was knee-high to call us over.To make matters worse,we had an old lawn mower.This particular afternoon,I was finishing up and was tired and sweaty.
I was just about to cut off the lawn mower when I saw Dad pointing to one piece of grass.He yelled:"You missed a piece."
I frowned,hoping he would let it slide and let me go home.He kept pointing.So,tired and disappointed,I went back to cut that piece of grass.I mumbled to myself:"That one piece isn't hurting anyone.Why won't he just let it go?"
But when I reached adulthood,I understood his message:When you're running a business,the work you do says a great deal about you.If you want to be seen as an entrepreneur (企業(yè)家) with integrity (誠實),you must deliver a quality product.That single blade of grass meant the job was not done.
Other neighbors took notice of the good work we did and we soon got more business.We started out with one client (客戶),but by the end of the summer we had five.

分析 文章講述了作者的父親對自己的教育.我和弟弟在暑假的時候給別人修剪草坪掙零花錢.每次我們?nèi)ジ苫,父親都跟著.有一天我們給鄰居家修剪草坪,院子里的草長得很高,做完工作后我們很累.就在我們準(zhǔn)備離開時,父親指著一塊沒有修剪的草坪,對我們大聲說你們漏了一塊.我們只好重新修剪.從這件事中我們知道了做任何事都要有專業(yè)素養(yǎng),這是一個道德規(guī)范問題.
解答 48-51.ACCC
48題答案:A考查細(xì)節(jié)推理,根據(jù)文章最后一段的When you're running a business,the work you do says a great deal about you.If you want to be seen as an entrepreneur (企業(yè)家) with integrity (誠實),you must deliver a quality product.That single blade of grass meant the job was not done.當(dāng)你經(jīng)營生意時你所做的工作會為你說很多.如果你想被看作是一名誠實的企業(yè)家,你必須提供優(yōu)質(zhì)的產(chǎn)品(服務(wù)).那一片草就意味著工作還沒完成.可知作者從父親那里學(xué)到的是做人做事一定要有道德規(guī)范(在本文中為誠實),故本題答案為A選項.
49題答案:C考查細(xì)節(jié)推理,根據(jù)原文第四段的He yelled:"You missed a piece."他喊道,"你漏掉了一塊"及倒數(shù)第三段的He kept pointing.(他一直指著)可知作者的父親"堅持要求作者完善",因此本題答案為C選項.
50題答案:C考查細(xì)節(jié)推理,根據(jù)文章倒數(shù)第二段的If you want to be seen as an entrepreneur (企業(yè)家) with integrity (誠實),you must deliver a quality product.如果你想被看作是一名誠實的企業(yè)家,你必須提供優(yōu)質(zhì)的產(chǎn)品(服務(wù)).可知"企業(yè)產(chǎn)品的質(zhì)量就是企業(yè)的臉面",故本題答案為C選項.
51題答案:C考查細(xì)節(jié)推理,根據(jù)最后一段的最后一句We started out with one client (客戶),but by the end of the summer we had five.我們開始的時候是一個客戶,但是到了夏天結(jié)束的時候我們有了五個(客戶).可知作者對于父親是很感激的,故本題答案為C選項.
