John was a very strong man. Once he got a job of cutting wood in a forest. His boss gave him an axe and showed him the area where he should work.
The first day, John cut down 18 trees. "Good," the boss said, "keep it up!" John was encouraged by the words of the boss and tried harder the next day, but he could only cut down 15 trees. The third day he tried even harder, but he could only cut down 10 trees. Day after day he was cutting down fewer and fewer trees.
"I must be losing my strength," John thought. He went to the boss and said that he could not understand what was going on. "When was the last time you had sharpened your axe?" the boss asked. "Sharpened? I had no time to sharpen my axe. I have been very busy trying to cut more treesl" said John.
The moral of this story: While John was working hard, he didn't think about how to do his job better. Our lives are like that. We sometimes get so busy that we don't take time to sharpen our skills. Many of us never learn new skills. We think that whatever we have learned is enough. However, in some ways, sharpening our skills from time to time is the key to success.
小题1:When did John cut the most trees?

D．The fourth day.

小题2:John was cutting down fewer and fewer trees. He thought_______.

A．he needed to sharpen his axe	B．the boss should help him
C．it was wrong to cut down trees	D．he must be losing his strength

小题3:What can we learn from the story?

     Mr father woke me up early one summer morning when I was fourteen and announced (宣布):"Get up,
you're going with me to cut the grass in the garden."
     The idea that my father thought I was old enough to help him in his business made me feel proud and
excited. From sunup to sundown, my father, my younger brother and I worked in the large garden. By the
end of the day I was too tired to say a word but I felt good. This was my first time to help my father in his
business. I got $ 6 for my work that day.
    One day my father found some leaves I had missed and pulled me aside."Take away these leaves!" he said,
"and don't make me have to tell you to do it again." The message was clear. Today I value (珍视) the
importance of doing a job well the first time. It will never fail to impress (给……留下印象) the person you
are working for.
    After two years, my father told me and my brother that he felt we were old enough to cut the grass by
ourselves. Every Saturday during my last two years of high school, we set off early in the morning with the
same strong wish we had gained while working under our father.
    Looking after the garden was neither exciting nor high paying, but that didn't matter. It taught me that any
job was a good job and that whatever I was paid was more than I had before.
     A newspaper reporter once asked me how someone could possibly live with hard work and low pay."If
you're only thinking about hard work and money, you probably don't want to do any better than you are doing." I answered. In every job, from cutting the grass to washing dishes, I've learned much. I've learned something
that helps me in my next job.
     If you work hard enough, you can learn from any job you do.

1. The writer felt proud and excited when he was asked to cut the grass because he thought _________.

A. he could cut the grass himself
B. he could make much money
C. he could enjoy sunup and sundown
D. he could help his family

2. The word "message" in the passage probably refers to (指) _________.

A. not leaving leaves behind
B. giving no excuse for your mistakes
C. doing a good job at the very beginning
D. missing things which can be found out

3. When the writer finished high school, maybe he was _________ years old.

A. fourteen
B. eighteen
C. twenty
D. twenty-two

4. Which of the following does the writer probably think is the most important?

A. Keeping learning from any job you had.
