解析
试题分析：文章大意：作者小时候所做的工作使他学到的道理。
小题1:D上下文联系根据之前的a cent for every nail I out of old boards. 得知，是每从旧木板上拔出一个钉子给一分钱，因此，是修理家具。
小题2:A 动词和宾语的搭配。根据这个动词和nail以及木板的关系，得知应该是拔出。pull sth. out of:把某物从……拔/拉出来。
小题3:C 常识考查：在餐馆工作，不能扫 sweep 餐桌,不能包装 pack餐桌,不能腾空empty餐桌。empty表示腾空的时候，是指腾空，移走里面的内容。只能用清理，clear餐桌
小题4:C上下文联系。At that age, it was going to work and glimpsed at my friends run off to swim or play. 在那个年龄（8岁），看到我的朋友出去游泳或者去玩，而我要去工作（对我来说）很难。
小题5:A 动词辨析。但是我喜欢工作所让我可以拥有的东西。根据下文的Because of my job, I was always the first one to buy something delicious.由于我的工作，我总是第一个买好吃的的人可知，是工作给我带来的好处。（收获）allow sb. to do sth. 允许某人做某事。B. prefer 宁愿；更喜欢；C和D通常不用于这个结构。
小题6:A 形容词辨析。承接上文，我因此感到自豪。grateful, 感激的 rich, 富裕的，丰富的，hopeful，有希望的，有前途的
小题7:B短语辨析。我勤勉和值得信赖的消息在镇上传开。get around ="get" round （消息）传开；四处走走；有办法应付；show around:带领…参观；fly around:绕圈飞；飞来飞去；carry around:随身携带。
小题8:D 动词辨析。我每个小时只能赚六毛五分，可是我已经欠了店老板9毛钱。（说明花费远超自己的收入）make money, 赚钱
小题9: A 副词辨析。句意：因此我学到了放松信贷的危险。greatly副词：很，极大的；非常；在这里修饰learned,说明此事对他的影响。
小题10:B 动词辨析。我的第一份工作教会了我（控制收支的）自控能力和自我满足感。self-development:自我发展；self-criticism:自我批评；self-confidence：自信。
小题11:D 这种从第一份工作中所学到的自控能力和自我满足感，没几个学生经历过的。lost:失去；丢失；improve：改善；提高；变得更好；develop：发展；开发；进步。
小题12:A 名词辨析If you understand sacrifice and , there are not many things in life you can"t have.
如果你明白了牺牲和责任的话，生活中就没有什么你无法得到的东西。and连接两个名词，这两个名词应该是指同一方面的，sacrifice, 牺牲；奉献；四个词中只有responsibility 跟它匹配。promise: 答应；承诺 independence:独立；自主 ambition:野心；雄心；志向；抱负。 |

Mr. Robinson had to travel somewhere on business and as he was in a hurry, he decided to go by air. He liked to sit beside a window when he was flying. So, when he got on to the plane, he looked for a window seat. He found all of them had already been taken except one.

Then, when the plane was quite full, a very beautiful girl stepped into the plane. The soldier quickly took the notice off the seat beside him and in this way succeeded in having the girl beside him during the whole trip.

Who is setting your standards for you ?
A true story has it that one elder man 36 to jog around the local high school football field. As he huffed and puffed(气喘吁吁) along, the team was 37 . The players soon started running sprints up and down the field. The man told himself “I will 38 keep running until they quit.”
So he ran. And they ran. And he ran some more. And they kept running. And he kept running until he 39 finally run no more. He stopped in 40 .
