We milked 65 cows at 5 in the morning, and again at 2 in the afternoon, ven days a week.

本部分重点及难点：
3. And as bad as that woman's job was, it was enough to keep a small family alive.
此处疑似错句，应省略前面的as，即改为：And bad as that woman's job was, it was enough to keep a small family alive. 虽然她的工作实在很糟糕，但那却足够养活一个小家庭。
as意为"虽然"，用于倒装，句式如下：
Though he is very young, he is very learned.=Young as he is, he is very learned.
Though he is an old man, he is very energetic.=Old man as he is, he is very energetic.
百思莫解
Though I like him very much, I won't do his homework for him.
=Much as I like him, I won't do his homework for him.
Though he tried, he failed again.=Try as he did, he failed again.
