Part IV.In this part,you will a short passage.The passage will be read only twice. Decide the best answer from the four choices given.
I started picking crops when I was eight.I couldn't do much,but every little bit counts. Every time I got behind,I would get a carrot thrown at me by my parents. I was daydreaming:If I were rich,I would buy all these farms and give them all back to the people.
We used to work early,about four o'clock in the morning.We'd pick the harvest until about six.Then we'd run home and get into our clean clothes and run all the way to school because we'd be late.By the time we got to school,the teacher would scold us.Around maybe eleven oclock we would be sleepy.Many times we never did our homework,just because we were out in the fields and were tired.The teachers couldn't understand that.
School would end around four o'clock.We'd rush home again,go back to work until seven or seven thirty at night.That's not counting the weekends.On Saturday,we'd be there from four thirty in the morning until about seven thirty in the evening. This is where we made the money,those two days.We all worked.
