I once told my mom that Sylvester Stallonewas getting $12 million for ten weeks of work.―What’s he going to do the rest of the year?‖ she asked.I took my parents’ work ethic into my first jobat Wilmington Ford near my hometown of Andover,Mass., when I was 16. I worked until five or sixo’clock on school days and put in 12-hour days during the summer as a prepper. This meant washing and polishing the new cars, and making sure the paper floor mats werein place. Another responsibility was taking off the hubcaps at night, so they wouldn’t get stolen, and replacing them the next day. This was hard work because we had about seven acres of cars.One day, carrying an armful of hubcaps around a corner, I almost bumped into our new general manager. Startled, I dropped them all. He fired me on the spot. I was too ashamed to tell my parents. Every day for about two weeks, I stayed busy until evening. Then I would go home and say I had a great day at work. Desperate, I wrote a letter to Henry Ford II and told him what happened. I said that we were a loyal Ford family and that when I was old enough, I was going to buy a Mustang. Eventually the owner of the dealership called. ―I don’t know who you know in Detroit,‖ he said, ―but if you want your job back, you got it.‖Later, during college, I wanted to work at a Rolls-Royce dealership, but the owner said there were no openings. So I started washing cars there anyway. When the owner noticed me, I said I was working until he hired me. He did.V acancy = laid off, jobless,Position =Retired =Fire = hireemployee,employer,unemploymentIt takes persistence to succeed. Attitude also matters. I have never thought I was better than anyone else, but I have always believed I couldn’t be outworked.OutstandingInsist on doing sthEvery word counts.The Cash i er (Jill E. Barad)Take the examSit for the examI was ten when I first sat with my grandmother behind the register in her Manhattan pharmacy. Before long, she let me sit there by myself. I quickly learned the importance of treating customers politely and saying ―thank you.‖快写训练一：善于用同义词、近义词；重复使用重点词Essential, Significant, important,Learning English is very important.Being able to express yourself in English is of great importance.In addition, paying more attention to your pronunciation is as important as being able to speak. In particular, good pronuncation helps listeners to understand you better, which is of great significance. However, what is essential is that one needs to practice every day for two hours. Without constant practice, one is able to express himself more clearly and speak more fluently.At first I was paid in candy. Later I received 50 cents an hour. I worked every day after school, and during the summer and on weekends and holidays from 8 a.m. to 7 p.m. My father helped me set up a bank account. Watching my money grow was more rewarding than anything I could have bought.Grandma, a tough taskmaster, never gave me favorable treatment.She watched me like a hawk yet allowed me to handle high-pressure situations such as working during the lunch rush. Her trust taught me how to handle responsibility.By the time I was 12, she thought I had done such a good job that she promoted me to selling cosmetics. I developed the ability to look customers directly in the eye. Even though I was just a kid, women would ask me such things as ―What color do you think I should wear?‖I took a genuine interest in their questions and was able to translate what they wanted into makeup ideas. I ended up selling a record amount of cosmetics.The job taught me a valuable lesson: that to be a successful salesperson, you didn’t need to be a rocket scientist－you needed to be a great listener. Today I still carry that lesson with me: I listen to customers. Except they are no longer women purchasing cosmetics from me; instead, they are kids who tell me which toys they would like to see designed and developed.NEW WORDSprepper n. 给新车清洗和擦亮的小工acquire vt. obtain, gain 获得，得到ethic n. system of moral principles; rules of conduct 道德观，道德标准polish vt. cause sth. to become smooth and shining by rubbing 磨光，擦亮;improve (sth.) by correcting, making small changes or adding newmaterial 修正，修改，修饰，加以润色mat n. 席，垫hubcap n.
