Gary and Me
The restaurant owner John Moore writes about his relationship with his son Gary, the famous TV chef
I believe everyone’s given a chance in life. My son, Gary, was given his chance with cooking, and my chance was to run a restaurant. When I heard about the opportunity, I rushed over to look at the place. It was in a really bad state. It was perfect for what I had in mind.
Coming into this business made me recall my childhood. I can remember my mother going out to work in a factory and me being so upset because I was left alone. With that in mind, I thought, "We want time for family life". My wife dedicated herself to looking after the children and did all my accounts while I ran the business. We lived over the restaurant in those days, and we always put a lot of emphasis on having meals together line 14 It’s paid dividends with our children, Gary and Joe. They’re both very confident. Also, from a very early age they would come down and talk to our regular customers. It’s given both of them a great start in life.
Gary was quite a lively child when he was really small. We had a corner bath, and when he was about seven he thought he’d jump into it like a swimming pool, and he knocked himself out. When he was older, he had to work tot pocket money. He started off doing odd jobs and by the age of about ten he was m the kitchen every weekend, so be always had loads of money at school. He had discipline. He used to be up even before me it the morning. If you run a filmily business, it’s for the family, and it was nice to see him helping out.
Gary wasn’t very academic, but lie shone so much in the kitchen. By the age of fifteen he was as good as any of the men working there, and sometimes he was even left in charge. He would produce over a hundred meals, and from then I knew he’d go into catering because he had that flair. So when he came to me and said, "Dad, I’ve got to do work experience as part of my course at school", I sent him to a friend of mine who’s got a restaurant.
Gary, recently took up playing the drums and now he has his own band. Goodness knows what will happen to the cooking if the music takes off. My advice to Gary would be: if you start chasing two hams, you end up catching neither-, so chase the hare you know you’re going to catch. He understood when I said to him: "Gary, if you’re going to get anywhere in life, you’ve got to do it by the age of 30. If you haven’t done it by then, it’s too late." line 44
Gary went to catering college at the age of 17, and on his first day he and the other new students--they’re normally complete beginners-were given what’s supposed to be a morning’s work. But within an hour, Gary had chopped all his vegetables, sliced all his meats. He’d prepared everything. That’s my soil for you! In the end, he was helping other people out.
None of is can believe how successful Gary’s TV cookery series has become. I’m extremely proud of him. I’ve always tried to tell him that if you want something, you’ve got to work jolly hard for it, because no one gives you anything. He’s seen the opportunity he’s been given and grabbed hold of it with both hands. You know, you talk to your children as they grow up, and if they only take in ten per cent of what you’ve told them, you’ve got to be happy with that. The things Gary says, the firings he does, I think, well, he must have listened sometimes.
What does "done it" refer to in line 44?
选项
A、chosen a profession
B、achieved success
C、caught a hare
D、lived your life
答案
B
解析
本题属于词语型问题:“在44行中‘done it’ ,是指什么?”,根据文章中 done it 上文中出现的英语习语get anywhere in life即“在生活中取得成功”,我们得出done it 是指”取得成功”。故答案为B。
