Introduction (5m.) Introductory Remarks: In the United States of America family background or personal influence plays a much less important role than in many other societies. Anyone who wants to become successful has to rely mainly on his own efforts. That’s why many American parents encourage their children to do part-time jobs while studying in college or even in high school. This is of great benefit to the young people not only financially but also in the development and formation of character, for in the process of work, they can learn a lot of things which are impossible for them to acquire from their text books at school. In this story, for instance, the two college sons have to develop management skills quickly in order to get their work done; they have to learn cooperation, team work, efficiency and business ethics in order to meet the real world’s deadlines. And the two youngest sons have also to learn that “you’re never done with books”, because books teach us knowledge and theories which are as important as, if not more important than, practical experience. Written in a humorous style, the story also tells us as well as all those youngsters that there is no easy way to earn a lot of money in the United States. You have to learn quickly and work hard before you can get your share of money. 2. Warm-up Questions (10m.) Before we study the text, please think about the following questions: 1..
