广东省雷州市第八中学2023-2024学年九年级上学期期中考试英语试题
My dad bought me a new Jeep when I was 17, but the real gift was what he taught me about life through this car. Every month, on the first day, he asked me to pay him $150 if I wanted to continue driving my Jeep. If I didn't pay, I couldn't drive my car〔or "his car", as he often reminded me, since he owned the title (所有权). My dad was (and still is) a successful businessman, who makes a very good living. To a 17-year-old student who only had a part-time weekend job, $150 was more than I usually made every month. I had to work harder. Although I was unhappy about my father's request, I always made sure to give him $150 on the first of each month, and did so for two years.
The day I graduated from high school, my dad pulled me into his office at our house for a talk. "Kevin," he gave me a white box and said, "here is your graduation present. To be honest, this is actually a present you gave yourself." I opened the box carefully, and almost started crying when I realized he just gave me $3,600! It was 24 car payments that he had saved for the last two years. Every payment I gave him went straight into this box. By requiring me to pay him every month, he was teaching me how to save, how to use my money and how to be responsible (有责任心的). My dad is and will forever be the best man I have ever known.
Four years later he gave me the title to the Jeep, as my college graduation present.
