短文屬于記敘文。講述了Jim的爸爸讓他在地里干一年活兒，答應(yīng)給他最好的禮物。Jim通過一年的辛苦勞動，最后明白了最好的禮物是什么。
1.ask sb. to do sth“要求某人做某事”
2.根據(jù)后面Jim的話，可知他不樂意在地里干活兒。
3.這里強(qiáng)調(diào)作業(yè)多，且work是不可數(shù)名詞，用too much修飾。
4.用于條件狀語從句中，表示能夠。
5.根據(jù)下面的故事，可知Jim同意了。
6.根據(jù)下文爸爸的話“you have worked very hard…”可知，用work hard“努力工作”。
7.這里指時(shí)間過得快，用副詞quickly。
8.want 是及物動詞，用what做它的賓語。
9.與第一段爸爸的話“give you the best present”相呼應(yīng)。
10.意思是：我想這就是你想讓我知道的。
