My first job was to drive the oxen that ploughed the cane fields. I would walk behind an ox, guiding him with a broomstick(長(zhǎng)柄掃帚). For $ 1 a day, I worked eight hours straight, with no food breaks.It was very tedious work, but it prepared me for life and taught me many lasting lessons. Because the plantation owners were always watching us, I had to be on time every day and work as hard as I could. I’ve never been late for any job since. I also learned about being respectful and faithful to the people you work for. More important, I earned my pay。 it never entered my mind to say I was sick just because I didn’t want to work.I was only six years old, but I was doing a man’s job. Our family needed every dollar we could make because my father never earned more than $ 18 a week. Our home was a threeroom wood shack(簡(jiǎn)陋的小屋) with a dirty floor and no toilet. Nothing made me prouder than bringing home money to help my mother, father, two brothers and three sisters. This gave me selfesteem(自尊心), one of the most important things a person can have.When I was seven, I got work at a golf course near our house. My job was to stand down the fairway（球道） and spot the balls as they landed, so the golfers could find them. Losing a ball meant you were fired, so I never missed one. Some nights I would lie in bed and dreamt of making thousands of dollars by playing golf and being able to buy a bicycle.The more I dreamed, the more I thought. Why not? I made my first golf club out of guava limb(番石榴樹枝) and a piece of pipe. Then I hammered an empty tin can into the shape of a ball. And finally I dug two small holes in the ground and hit the ball back and forth. I practiced with the same devotion and intensity(勞動(dòng)強(qiáng)度). I learned working in the field — except now I was driving golf balls with club, not oxen with a broomstick.60. Which of the following may best summarize the passage above?A.

US video game boss Richard Garriott headed into space aboard a Russian rocket yesterday watched by his father, a NASA astronaut who went into space at the height of the Cold War.The Russian Soyuz TMA13 spacecraft lifted off in clear weather from the Baikonur Cosmodrome on the Kazakh grasslands just after 1:00 pm local time.A video game developer from Texas, Garriott paid $35 million to fly into space alongside US astronaut Michael Fincke and Russian astronaut Yury Lonchakov.Garriott39。s father, Owen, watched the blast off through binoculars(望遠(yuǎn)鏡) on an observation platform and Garriott39。s girlfriend, Kelly Miller, burst into tears. I am very happy for him. It is one of the things he really wanted to do, Miller said as others opened beer to celebrate the successful launch.I can see he is really enjoying it like a little kid in the candy shop, Miller said.Space officials said the Soyuz rocket had reached orbit safely and would dock with the International Space Station (ISS) in about two days.He made it, he made it into orbit. It is marvellous, said Owen Garriott, a physicist who was selected as an astronaut by NASA for his scientific background. He spent 60 days in space in 1973 and another ten days in 1983.After 10 days in space Garriott will return to Earth with the ISS39。s former crew aboard a Soyuz reentry vehicle, a threeperson capsule which has gone wrong on its last two flights.In April, a Soyuz capsule landed 420 km off course(偏離軌道) after explosive bolts(爆炸螺栓) failed to explode before reentry, sending the craft into a steep descent.Last year, a Soyuz capsule carrying Malaysia39。s first astronaut also made a socalled ballistic(彈道式) landing, similarly blamed on faulty bolts. 64.
