参考答案177.BBABD CBAAC DBADC CBAAD： 阅读下面短文，掌握其大意，然后从36—55各题所给的四个选项（A、B、C、D）中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。A couple of days ago, my sister Liz and I spoke about Dad, and we decided to get him a little something together for Father's Day. We talked about the times when we were
36
up and how Mom and Dad used to play the ‘good cop, bad cop’ thing on us. Dad has been a person of few words since we were
37
. He raised us more by
38
than anything else. When he spoke, though, we listened, and he was always mysterious and difficult to understand. There was always a(n)
39
meaning that I never got, but Liz always
40
to decipher(破解) him. By the time I got to high schoolI had wanted a whole bunch of skateboard gear(装备) and I41
I was too old to ask money from my parents so I worked at a burger joint. One day, I was really angry about annoying burgers. I came home huffing and puffing(气喘吁吁)Dad saw me and asked me what was the
42
. I told him that I was fed up with annoying burgers. He said that we all have to
43
somewhere, that we may not know it now, but the skills we learn even in a burger joint might come in handy later in life, ‘Who knows, you might end up having to run a
44
or even own one when you grow up,’ said Dad. He
45
me down and I kept what he said in mind, even though I really didn’t agree with it.
A couple of years later, when I got to college, I worked in a restaurant. During one of the really
46
days that we had, we were short on kitchen staff. Our customers were getting impatient and the
47
were getting delayed. We were sure any minute something terrible would
48
out. I couldn’t stand the
49
any more, so I rolled up my sleeves, got myself a hair net and helped out in the hot kitchen. We caught up with the orders
50
. The owner saw what I did and called me over around
51
time. He said that he was very
52
. He raised my salary and made me the assistant manager even though I could only go part-time. That was
53
I realized that what my dad said to me all those years before was absolutely true.
I’ve never forgotten what my dad said that day. And whenever I have to do something that requires new skills, no matter how small or
54
it seems, I have a new perspective(看法) that it might really help me later on or even right now and I just don’t know itExperience is everything and it
55
a lot when you take lessons from it. That’s my life’s philosophy.
