地走上5个小时。后来因为这件事很多人都愿意给他提供一份工作，这名男子也因为这块砖而改变了自己

的命运。故事告诉我们，无论做什么事情，态度是获取成功的关键。

［1题详解］

自那时起。根据前面的句子“IfIgiveyouwork,whatpaydoyouwant?”如果我给你提供工作，你想要多少薪

故答案为A。

[7题详解]

句意：我从没想到他会做他承诺过的事情。A.planned计划；B.prepared准备：C.promised承诺；D.suggested

建议。前面中年男子说过“AslongasIcangetbreadformyfamily,sir.”作者没有把他的话当真，我从没想到他

会做，应该就是指前面男子所承诺过的话，故答案为C。

[8题详解]

句意：我看见他还在走路。A.also也;B.already已经;C.even甚至;D.still仍然。根据下文中的句子”[stopped

himandgavehim9____pounds.”可知，作者回来的时候，中年男子还在走路，故答案为D。
