Growing a Family Business Every Saturday and Sunday this fall, while other kids are sleeping in or preparing for a soccer game, Phillip Gargiulo, age 11, will be up at 5 a.m. sweeping floors. It's hard work, but Phillip's job at Masker Orchards(果園) isn't just a job-it's all for his family.
Masker is one of the largest pick-it-yourself apple orchards in the New York area, with 200 acres(英畝) of land and 16,000 trees. The orchard was founded in 1913 by the Masker family. In 1969, Phillip's 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 Phillip's jobs is to count the items they bought, give customers a total, and take their money. That's a lot of apples-and a lot of math! And more than 100 teens work there, too. For their hard work, the Gargiulo kids are paid﹩15 per hour. After working there for seven years, Phillip has saved﹩3,000. He's 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, it was good and bad," says Phillip's mom. She's been working at the orchard since she was 4 years old. "From August to Halloween, I would be busy. In high school, you want to be with your friends, out doing other things. That wasn't always possible when I had to be at the orchard."
Phillip, too, sees both sides. "I'm learning how to run a business, and I'm learning what hard work is really all about." he says. He admits, though, that some mornings, when his alarm clock goes off in the early morning, he'd rather be sleeping in or playing baseball with friends. "But I'm learning to do things that I will need for the rest of my life," he says. "And I'm spending time with my family. I love it."
1.Phillip gets up early every weekend to ______ .
A.finish his homework B.do the work for his family
C.prepare for a soccer game D.go for a run in the morning
2.What does Phillip do on a good weekend in Masker?
A.To plant some apple trees.
B.To work on math problems.
C.To play baseball with friends.
D.To count apples and take the money.
3.What can we learn from this passage?
A.Getting something probably means giving up something.
B.It's necessary to make money as early as possible.
C.Growing up means doing what you want to do.
D.There is nothing more important than parents.

It is late at night. People in Cape Town,South Africa,line up to collect water from a spring. One by one,they fill their plastic bottles. Each person can take up to 13 gallons(加侖). Policemen stand by to keep the rules. In a few months,that number will be cut in half.
Cape Town is a city of four million people. It is running out of water. For three years,the city has faced a drought(干旱). It is the worst in a century. Local reservoirs(水庫)are mostly sand and dried earth. Officers are telling people to save water.(A)_______, the city will one day be forced to cut off the supply to homes and businesses. That day is being called Day Zero. At press time,Day Zero was expected to be June 4.(B)_______ the date may change based on water levels in local reservoirs.
"There are a lot of people who have not realized the problem." said Shirley Curry. She waited at a spring to get her share of water. "Now they suddenly realize this is for real."
On Day Zero, each person's daily water supply will drop to about 6.5 gallons. (The average American uses 80 to 100 gallons of water per day.) Lines at the city's 200 water collection points will probably get even longer.
Some places will not be included in the cutoff. The water will keep running in hospitals and schools. It will stay on in poor areas, too. This is to prevent illness. Areas popular with tourists may also have water. More than 10 million people visit Cape Town each year. Tourism provides nearly 10% of South Africa's economy.
Across the city,people are making an effort to save water. They are taking 90-second showers. They are washing their clothes less often. Using tap water to wash cars or fill swimming pools is not allowed. Those caught using too much water are punished.
For some people,rationing(定量供應)now feels normal. Kelson da Cruz keeps one container of water near the shower. Another he uses for brushing his teeth and washing his face. He uses non-drinking water to flush(沖洗)the toilet.
