The first di
58、gger liked holding a spade (锹) without doing anything but saying that he wanted to be a boss in the future. The second digger liked complaining about the longtime work and his low salary.

61、even I have no impression of some of them. But if you look carefully, you will notice a sunburned man in red among them. I notice him very early. He seems to be working harder with higher spirits than others. He is always the first one to work every day while the last one to leave. It is exactly his
62、 red shirt that makes him stand out among all the workers. Now I am about to ask him to be my taskmaster and I believe he will work even much harder from now on.

69、写承包商的努力以及他成功的细节。Paragraph 2的开头是“听了承包商的话，小男孩思索良多”。显然接下来的内容应该是描写小男孩的心理活动，即他明白要想人生成功，唯一的道路就是不懈努力。【佳作展台】Paragraph 1：The contractor told the boy that was also how he had got where he was then. Actually the building contractor had once worked hard and outperformed others through his own constant efforts.
70、If he had worn the same shirt just like other workers and hadnt devoted himself to working, by no means would he have been noticed by his boss. As a matter of fact he wore his red shirt every day and worked arduously. Soon his day came. He obtained his bosss appreciation and was then promoted as tas
71、kmaster. After he had earned enough money, he became a boss eventually.Paragraph 2：After hearing his words, the boy thought a lot. He knew that if he wants to stand out among people, there is no shortcut or alternative but hard work. Actually the contractors experience was just one good example to prove the truth of it. Then the boy thanked the contractor for his reply and said goodbye to him. When he left the construction site of the skyscraper he already had a firm resolution in his mind that he would start his own journey right then in order to fulfill his dream in time.
