V. Analyzing Text A1. Lead-in Activity2. Introduction of the text3. Reading the text and asking some questions4. Language points:1) We ended up in Berkeley, California, where I got a job cutting down trees with a chain saw for $ 3.50 an hour. (Para. 1)End up 表示“结果为……，以……结束（尤指意料之外的），意外达到（某处）”的意思，后面可跟介词短语、动名词以及形容词等。
例如：◆If he carries on driving like that, he’ll ended up dead. 他照那样开车，早晚得死于非命。
◆If he continues to steal, he’ll ended up in prison. 他要是继续行窃，终归得进监狱。
◆At first he refused to accept any responsibility, but he ended up apologizing. 最初他拒不承认有任何责任，最后还是道了歉。
Where I got a job cutting down trees with a chain saw for $3.50 an hour 是关系副词where 引导的非限制性定语从句，补充说明作者在Berkeley, California的情况。
2) But my first real long-term job was at a local diner called the Buttercup. (Para. 2)Term 表示“时期、期限”的意思。
Long-term是复合形容词，表示“长期的”意思，其反义词为short-term。
例如：short-term loans （短期贷款），a long-term project (长期项目)。
Diner 意为“小餐室，小餐厅”，也指“用餐者”。
这个词源自于动词dine，表示“吃饭，进餐”的意思，比eat 正式，更书面化。
Called the Buttercup是过去分词短语，用来修饰前面的名词diner，相当于定语从句which was called the Buttercup.3) I worked there for seven years and learned many lessons, especially from a fellow waitress. (Para. 2)Learned many lessons 并不表示“上很多课”，而是表示“吸取了很多教训”。
Lesson 既表示“课程”又表示“教训”。
如果要表达“上课”的意思，应使用词组have/take lessons。
例如：She gives drawing lessons.她教绘画课。
That accident taught me a lesson; I won’t drive too fast again.那次事故给了我一个教训，我再也不敢把车开得太快了。
Fellow 是形容词，意为“同类的”。
例如：one’s fellow travelers (旅伴)，a fellow jazz fan (志同道合的爵士乐迷)。
4) Helen was in her sixties and had incredible self-respect, something I was sorely lacking.(Para. 3)In her sixties 意为“六十多岁”，in one’s –ies这个结构表示“在某人几十岁时”。
例如：She got married in her early twenties.她二十出头就结婚了。
She was in her late thirties.她三十多岁了。
Incredible 意为“难以置信的”，若去掉表示否定含义的前缀in-，credible 意为“可信的，可靠的”。
例如：The film star has an incredible car in addition to a large house.这个电影明星除了一幢很大的住宅外还有一辆极好的汽车。
He got a credible report.他得到了可信的报告。
Self-respect 由self 和respect组和而成，表示“自尊”的意思。
与self 组合成的复合词还有self-confidence, self-concept, self-awareness, self-acceptance, self-worth。
Something I was sorely lacking 是前面名词self-respect的同位语。
I was sorely lacking 是定语从句，修饰前面的代词something, 省略了关系代词that。
Lack表示“缺乏”的意思，既可作动词也可作名词，在本句中作动词。
作为名词lack 常与介词of 搭配使用。
例如：The teacher said that the child lacked confidence.老师说这孩子缺乏信心。
There’s a certain lack of enthusiasm for these changes among the students.学生对这些变化没有多大热情。
