阅读强化训练（十）学生用书P142（单独成册）（建议用时:25分钟）I阅读理解I grew up in a middleclass neighborhood. It's not famous for producing success stories, or CEOs. My childhood was fairly free and uncared-for. My parents only cared about partying and themselves, which left me to figure out life on my own.Being fairly successful now and living in a much better neighborhood, I still think about the days of working to buy my own school lunch. Even though growing up privileged（享有特权的） would have been great, there are so many things I wouldn't trade from growing up poor.You had to learn to survive on your own. Your neighborhood was rough and full of people looking to take advantage of you. These experiences have made you stronger. You observe your environment, keep up your guard at any time, and learn to trust your courage. A Harvard education is an amazing thing, but street smarts will give you something that you can never learn from books.When you have nothing, your dreams fill the emptiness. You desire success, money, power, happiness, etc. You grew up watching rich people on TV and wanting to be someone like them. These dreams lead to passion, goals, and achievements. Even if you never make millions, you fulfill your dreams by doing better than your parents did, and going further in your career.From a very young age, you had to learn to budget for gas, food, weekend money, and clothes. You had to work harder for everything in your life, so you appreciated it more and it has taught you that work ethic（职业道德）is usually not a natural, but a learned thing. It's hard to teach. When the privileged ones quit for the day, you didn't, because for you there was no fall back plan or safety net. At the end of the day, you'll do what it takes to survive.【解题导语】本文是一篇夹叙夹议文。作者介绍了自己的生活经历，出身贫寒让他更加独立，并帮助他获得成功。1. What do we know about the author's parents?A.
