My father was a foreman of a sugar-cane plantation in Rio Piedras, Puerto Rico. My first jobwas to drive the oxen that plowed the cane fields. I would walk behind an ox, guiding him with abroomstick. For $1 a day, I worked eight hours straight, with no food breaks.

It was very tediou work, but it prepared me for life and taught me many lasting lessons. Be-cause the plantation owners were always watching us, I had to be on time every day and work ashard as I could. I&39; ve never been late for any job since. I also learned about being respectful andloyal to the people you work for.. More important, I earned my pay.

I was only six years old, but I was doing a man&39; s job. Our family needed every dollar wecould make because my father never earned more than $18 a week. Our home was a three-roomwood shack with dirty floor and no toilet. Nothing made me prouder than bringing home money tohelp my mother, father, two brothers and three sisters. This gave me self-esteem, one of the mostimportant things a person can have.

When I was seven, I got work at a golf course near our house. My job was to stand down thefairway and spot the balls as they landed so the golfers could find them. Losing a ball meant youwere fired, so I never miss one. Some nights I would lie in bed and dream of making thousands ofdollars playing golf and being able to buy a bicycle.

The more I dreamed, the more I thought. Why not？ I made my first golf club out of guavalimb and a piece of pipe. Then I hammered an empty tin can into the shape of a ball. And finallyI dug two small holes in the ground and hit the ball back and forth. I practiced with the same devo-tion and intensity I learned working in the field--except now I was driving golf balls with club, notoxen with a broomstick.

听力原文： Three men are found smashing boulders with iron hammers.When asked what they are doing,the first man says,"Breaking big rocks into little rocks."The second man says,"Feeding my family."The third man says, "Building a cathedral."

Today's column focuses on the third man,the one who saw each hammer blow as contributing to the construction of a cathedral,a home for human dreams and sacred aspirations.To many of us who study and consult in occupational and organizational contexts,we would call what this third man does meaningful work.

I have come to see meaningful work as consisting of three central components.First,the work we do must make sense; we must know what's being asked of us and be able to identify the personal or organizational resources we need to do our job．Second,the work we do must have a point；we must be able to see how the little tasks we engage in build,brick-by-brick if you will,into an important part of the purpose of our company.Finally,the work that we do must benefit some greater good；we must be able to see how our toil helps others, whether that's saving the planet,saving a life,or making our co-workers'jobs easier so that they can go home and really be available for their families and friends．A growing body of evidence shows that meaningful workers are happy workers,more committed workers,and, in some tantalizing ways,better workers.

What does the second man answer when asked what they are doing？

A．Breaking big rocks into little ones

B．Feeding his family.

C．Building a cathedral.

D．Doing construction works.
