     I grew up in a small town. My father raised chickens and ran a construction company. I was barely
10 years old when my dad gave me the responsibility (责任) of feeding the chickens and cleaning up the
stable. He believed it was important for me to have those jobs to learn responsibility. Then, when I was
 22, I found a job in Natchbill at a country music club called the Natchbill Palace, I washed dishes and
cooked from 4: 00 pm to 9: 00 pm and then went on stage and sang until 2:00 in the morning. It wasn"t
long before I became known as a singing cook. I had been rejected so many times by record companies
that it was hard not to be discouraged. One night, a woman executive (懂事) from a company named
Warner Brothers Records came to hear me sing. When the show was over, we sat down and talked
and after she left, I said to myself it was one more rejection. A few weeks later, my manager received
a phone call - Warner Brothers wanted to sign me to a record deal. Soon after, I released my first record
in June 1986. It sold over 2 million copies. My best efforts had gone into every job I"ve ever held. It was
the sense of responsibility that made me feel like a man. Knowing that I had done my best filled me with
pride. I still feel that way today, even though I have become a well-known singer.

1. Why was the writer once known as the singing cook?
A. Because he was a cook at a country-music club.
B. Because he sang for guests while he worked as a cook.
C. Because he often sang while cooking.
D. Because he liked singing better than cooking.
 2. Who first recognized his talents and helped make his career successful?
A. Wamer Brothers.    
B. His manager.
C. His father.
D. A businesswoman.
3. What made the writer proud of himself?
A. His ability to live independently.
B. His sense of responsibility in whatever he did.
C. His courage in the face of rejections.
D. His hard work in his early days.

    He"s an old cobbler (修鞋匠) with a shop in the Marais, a historic area in Paris. When I took him my
shoes, he at first told me: "I haven"t time. Take them to the other fellow on the main street; he"ll fix them
for you right away. "
     But I"d had my eye on his shop for a long time. Just looking at his bench loaded with tools and pieces
of leather, I knew he was a skilled craftsman (手艺人). "No," I replied, "The other fellow can"t do it well."
"The other fellow" was one of those shopkeepers who fix shoes and make keys "while-U-wait" -without
knowing much about mending shoes or making keys. They work carelessly, and when they have finished
sewing back a sandal strap (鞋带) ,you might as well just throw away the pair.
     My man saw I wouldn"t give in, and he smiled. He wiped his hands on his blue apron (围裙), looked
at my shoes, had me write my name on one shoe with a piece of chalk and said, "Come back in a week."
I was about to leave when he took a pair of soft leather boot off a shelf.
     "See what I can do " he said with pride. "Only three of us in Paris can do this kind of work."
     When I got back out into the street, the world seemed brand-new to me. He was something out of an
ancient legend,
an old craftsman with his way of speaking familiarly, his pride in his craft.
     These are times when nothing is important but the bottom line, when you can do things any old way as
long as it "pays", when, in short, people look on work as a path to ever-increasing consumption (消费)
rather than a way to realize their own abilities. In such a period,it is a rare comfort to find a cobbler who
gets his greatest satisfaction from pride in a job well done.
1. Which of the following is true about the old cobbler?
A. He was equipped with the best repairing tools.
B. He was the only cobbler in the Marais.
C. He was proud of his skills.
D. He was a native Parisian.
2. The sentence "He was something out of an ancient legend." ( paragraph 7 ) implies that _____.
A. nowadays you can hardly find anyone like him
B.it was difficult to communicate with this man
C. the man was very strange
D. the man was too old
3. According to the author, many people work just to_____ .
A. realize their abilities
B. gain happiness
C. make money
D. gain respect
4. This story wants to tell us that_____ .
A. craftsmen make a lot of money
B. whatever you do, do it well
C. craftsmen need self-respect
D. people are born equal
