话题四　日常活动 一、阅读理解 Every Saturday and Sunday this fall, while other kids are sleeping in or preparing for a soccer game, Phillip Gargiulo, aged 11, is up at 5 am sweeping floors. Its hard work, but Phillips job at Masker Orchards(果园) isnt just a job. Its all for his family. Masker Orchards is one of the largest pick-it-yourself apple orchards in the New York area, with 200 acres(英亩) of land and more than 20,000 trees. The Masker family got the orchard started in 1913. In 1969, Phillips grandfather bought the land. His three kids and six grandkids have been running the family business ever since. On a good weekend, there will be more than 800 customers.One of Phillips jobs is to count the apples they buy, give customers a total and take their money. That means a lot of apples and a lot of math! And more than 100 teens work there, too. For their hard work, they are paid $15 per hour. After working there for seven years, Phillip has saved $3,000. Hes planning to use it to buy a car one day and to help pay for college. Having a family business means much more than making money. It also means making sacrifices.? Growing up was good and bad, says Phillips mom. Shes been working at the orchard since she was 4 years old. From August to the end of October, I would be busy. In high school, I wanted to be with my friends out doing other things. That wasnt always possible because I had to be at the orchard. Phillip, too, sees both sides. Im learning how to run a business and Im learning what hard work is really all about, he says. But he also says its true that sometimes, when his alarm clock goes off in the early morning, hed rather be sleeping in or playing baseball with friends. But Im learning to do things that I will need to do for the rest of my life, he says. And Im spending time with my family. I love it. 根据材料内容选择最佳答案。 1.What does Phillip get up early to do every weekend? A. He does his homework. B. He does the work for his family. C. He prepares for a soccer game. D. He
