Monday完形填空

Everyone’s first job is special. It teaches you about the 1 of money. When I was about sixteen years old, I wanted to buy albums (专辑) from my favorite 2 , but I did not have any money. So I had to find work in order to buy the 3 I wanted.

I went to the 4 person I knew in my neighborhood, Mrs. Hudson. She was over eighty years old, and could not 5 her garden anymore. I knocked on her door, building up enough 6 to ask her for work. She answered that she did need 7 in her garden. She did not discuss the 8 of money I would get for the work.

My first 9 was to pull out weeds (野草). I got down on my 10 and began to pull out weeds one by one in her front yard and backyard. That was it for my first day, and it 11 me about two hours. I 12 her how much I would get paid, and she said, “I will 13 you $5 an hour.” It was less than I 14 I would get paid, but at least I had a job. After getting that $10, I walked the few 15 to the supermarket and bought an album from the band “Tool”, which was 16 popular at that time.

I think everyone should feel the hot sun on one’s 17 as they pull weeds. It seems these experiences will make us mentally 18 . Besides this, a first job like this 19 you with the value of money, as sweat 20 cash is something no one can take away from you.
