parents feel about people who didnt work regularly?,They couldnt understand those people.Because they both lived through the Great Depression,and had a very strong work ethic.,The Great Depression:the economic recession or financial crash spread over North American,Europe and other industrial countries from 1929 to 1939.,Notes:,The Great Depression of 1929 was the result of the collapse of the US stock market(Wall Street Crash).After World War I,as production increased through the postwar decade,profits didnt go to those in the economy who might consume the product,but to the wealthy few who often reinvested in plant and machinery to produce even more.Overseas markets were limited too,by the fact that most European nations were poverty stricken（极度贫困）as a result of the war and were heavily in debt to the USA.,Therefore,inventories(存货）of new cars and other consumer goods were high by 1929;bank failures were common;speculation ran rampant,and at last the economy crashed.,“I worked until five or six oclock on school days and put in 12-hour days during the summer as a prepper.”(Line 6),Paraphrase:,Paraphrase:I cleaned and brightened cars during the days when I had school and left work at five or six oclock;during the summer,I spent 12 hours working each day.,put in sth.:devote(time,effort,etc)to,eg.Thank you for all the hard work youve put in.谢谢你的这一切努力。I must put in an hours

reason.,eg.Scolded by the teacher,he felt ashamed all day.由于受了老师的责备，他一整天都很羞愧。,“One day,carrying an armful of hubcaps around a corner,I almost bumped into our new general manager.”(Line 11),How did the author manage to get his job back?,He wrote to Henry Ford II and got help from him.(Eventually the owner of the dealership called,“I dont know who you know in Detroit,but if you want your job back,you got it.”),Notes:,Detroit:the largest city in Michigan,well-known as“Automobile Capital of the World”or“Motor City”.,Did persistence and hard work benefit the author in his later job?,Yes.They won him a position at a Rolls-Royce dealership.(Later,during college,I wanted to work at a Rolls-Royce dealership,but the owner said there were no opening.So I started washing cars there anyway.When the owner noticed me,I said I was working until he hired me.He did.),She preferred to save money.The evidence is“Watching my money grow was more rewarding than anything I could have bought.”,rewarding:worth doing,satisfyingeg.Gardening is a very rewarding pastime.园艺劳动是非常有益的消遣。,Notes:,Did the author prefer to save money or spend money?How do you know?,Anything I could have bought:“I could have bought”是定语从句，修饰“anything”。它本身又运用了虚拟语气，表示与过去事实相反的状况。The subjunctive mood is used to mean the author was satisfied to watch her money grow(to save money)and did not buy anything with the money.,Notes:,if 从句虚拟语气的三种时态变化。,(1)将来：Ifshould/were to,would/should/could/might do 现在：Ifdid/were,would/should/could/might do 过去：Ifhad done,would/should/could/might have done,(2)倒装：若if从句中有should，were(to)，had，可省略if,并相应把 should，were，had 提前。,Everything _(be destroyed)if Albert hadnt called the fire brigade.,Fill in the blanks with the verbs in the subjective mood.,Exercise,“If I hadnt practiced when I was younger,”the musician says,“I _(not be)able to play so well now.”,would have been destroyed,wouldnt be,_(he leave)today,he would get there by Friday.,Were he to leave,If man were not aggressive by nature,he _(be)happier but less creative.,would be,Whats the important lesson the author learns from her job as a salesperson?,“To be a successful sales person,you didnt need to be a rocket scientist you needed to be a great listener.”,“I took a genuine interest in their questions and was able to translate what they wanted into makeup ideas.”(Line 37),Paraphrase:,Paraphrase:I was very interested in these questions and was able to understand what they wanted and advise them on how to make up so as to achieve the desired effect.,translate sth1.into sth2:express(ideas,feeling)in a different form 把用另一种形式表现出来。,eg.Its time to translate our ideas into action.我们该把思想变为行动了。,“I ended up selling a record amount of cosmetics.”(Line 38),Paraphrase:,Paraphrase:At last,I set up a record in selling cosmetics.,end up:to finish(in a particular way)1.+adj.2.+doing:3.+in sth.:,eg.If he goes on driving like that,hell end

learn”(Subtitle),Analysis:elliptical sentence.Two noted Americans explain why its not what you earn but what you learn that makes the first job important.,Paraphrase:What makes the first job important
