Pulling heavy suitcases all day in the summer is hard work, especially when you’re a thin 14 year old. That was me in 1940 — the youngest and smallest baggage boy at New York City’s Pennsylvania Railway Station.
After just a few days on the job, I began noticing that the other fellows were overcharging passengers. I’d like to join them, thinking, "Everyone else is doing it."
When I got home that night, I told my dad what I wanted to do. "You give an honest day’s work," he said, looking at me straight in the eye. "They’re paying you. If they want to do that, you let them do that."
I followed my dad’s advice for the rest of that summer and have lived by his words ever since. Of all the jobs I’ve had, it was my experience at Pennsylvania Railway Station that has stuck with me. Now I teach my players to have respect for other people and their possessions. Being a member of a team is a totally shared experience. If one person steals, it destroys trust and hurts everyone. I can put up with many things, but not with people who steal. If one of my players were caught stealing, he’d be gone.
Whether you’re on a sports team, in an office or a member of a family, if you can’t trust one another, there’s going to be trouble.
Questions 22 to 25 are based on the passage you have just heard.
22. What can be inferred about the baggage boys?
23. What does the father’s advice imply?
24. Why can’t the speaker put up with stealing?
25. What can be concluded about the speaker from the passage?
选项
A、They were all thin, young boys.
B、They were all from poor families.
C、Many of them earned money in a dishonest way.
D、They could earn much, but they had to work hard.
答案
C
解析
A)中的boys表明,选项中的they指的是男孩们。选项C)和D)意思相矛盾,其中之一很可能是答案。短文中提到the other fellows were overcharging passengers,故答案为C)。
