"Be proud of what you do," my father always told me, " whether you are a boss or a floor mopper. " When I was 15, I got a summer job at the local hospital, where I was told that my duties would include mopping floors. I smiled and remembered Dad’s advice.
Even though my job was the lowest, I was thrilled to have some work to do. I didn’t see it as a handicap but as a challenge, because it was my first job. I learned to be
punctual
and to meet certain standards. In return, I was treated with respect by hospital staff and patients. Each morning I imagined that the plates coated with oatmeal would only make patients sicker, if I were not there to wash them clean. Once breakfast was done, I pitched in by mopping the floors of all patient wards, and cleaning toilets. Though I was exhausted, I knew that if the floors didn’t shine, it would reflect badly on me. I wanted the job to be done well. People would beam and say, "That young guy surely does a good job. " That gave me an overwhelming sense of pride.
Working at the hospital taught me that being proud of one’s job is part of the commitment to your work. It doesn’t matter whether the commitment is mopping floors or managing a large business. Through every job I have ever held, my father’s advice has always stayed with me. I have mopped floors, and I have been promoted to manager of a large business. I think Dad would be proud of me.
What does the underlined word "punctual" mean?
选项
A、Late.
B、Early.
C、Not late.
D、In advance.
答案
C
解析
根据第二段第三句“I learned to be punctual and to meet certain standards。”可知,作者学会了守时并达到一定的标准。由此可推知,punctual意为“按时的,准时的,守时的”。late:迟到;early:早到的,提前的;not late:不晚的,没有迟到的;in advance:(时间上)在……前,事先,(发展上)超前。四个选项中C项与其意思最为接近。故选C。
