问题     "Be proud of what you do," my father always told me, " whether you are a boss or a floor mopper. " When I was 15, I got a summer job at the local hospital, where I was told that my duties would include mopping floors. I smiled and remembered Dad’s advice.
    Even though my job was the lowest, I was thrilled to have some work to do. I didn’t see it as a handicap but as a challenge, because it was my first job. I learned to be punctual and to meet certain standards. In return, I was treated with respect by hospital staff and patients. Each morning I imagined that the plates coated with oatmeal would only make patients sicker, if I were not there to wash them clean. Once breakfast was done, I pitched in by mopping the floors of all patient wards, and cleaning toilets. Though I was exhausted, I knew that if the floors didn’t shine, it would reflect badly on me. I wanted the job to be done well. People would beam and say, "That young guy surely does a good job. " That gave me an overwhelming sense of pride.
    Working at the hospital taught me that being proud of one’s job is part of the commitment to your work. It doesn’t matter whether the commitment is mopping floors or managing a large business. Through every job I have ever held, my father’s advice has always stayed with me. I have mopped floors, and I have been promoted to manager of a large business. I think Dad would be proud of me.
What’s the best title for the passage?

选项 A、A challenging job
B、My proud father
C、Working at the hospital
D、Being proud of your job

答案D

解析 通读全文可知,文章第一段以作者父亲的忠告“Be proud of what you do”开头,引出“为自己的工作骄傲”这一话题;接着作者讲述了第一次工作的经历;最后一段作者指出为自己的工作骄傲是对自己工作投入的一部分,首尾呼应。因此,D项(对你的工作感到骄傲)最适合作本文标题。其他三项均不符合题意。故选D。
