英语-->高手把里面大学里面比较关键的词跟词组挑出来.
“Do it!”“Yes,sir!”By the following evening,there was much for my wife to report.The bonus program had worked until someone demanded to see the color of cash.Then some activist on the work force claimed that the workers had no business settling for $5 and a few competitive bonuses while the bosses collected hundreds of dollars each.The organizer had declared that all the workers were entitled to $5 per hour!They would not work another minute until the bosses agreed.The strike lasted less than two hours.In mediation,the parties agreed on $2 per hour.Gradually,the huge stacks began to shrink.As it turned out,the job was completed three hours before Sunday’s 7 a.m.Deadline.By the time I arrived home,the boys had already settled their accounts:$150 in labor costs,$40 for gasoline,and a like amount for gifts—boxes of candy for saintly neighbors who had volunteered station wagons and help in delivery and a dozen roses for their mother.This left them with $185 each—about two-thirds the minimum wage for the 91 hours they worked.Still,it was“enough”,as one of them put it,to enable them to “avoid indignity”for quite a while.
