Question

【題目】“Everything happens for the best,” my mother said whenever things weren’t going my way. “Don’t worry, one day your luck will change.” Mother was right, as I discovered after I had finished my college education. I had decided to find a job in radio station. One day, I wanted to host(主持) a sports program. I went to Chicago and knocked on the door of every station. But I got turned down every time.

In one station, a kind lady said my problem was that I hadn’t got enough experience. “ Get some work with a small station and work your way up,” she said.

I went back home. I couldn’t get a job there, either. Then my dad told me a businessman had opened a store and needed someone to help him. But again, I didn’t get the job.

I felt really down. “ Your luck will change,” Mom said to me. Dad lent me the car to help me to look for my job. I tried another radio station in Iowa. But the owner, a nice man, told me he had already had someone.

As I left his office, I asked, “How can someone be a sports announcer(播音員) if he can’t get a job in a radio station?”

I was waiting for the lift when I heard the man call. “ What did you mean? Do you know anything about football?” He put me in front of a microphone and asked me to try to imagine that I was giving my opinion on a football game, I succeeded.

On my way home, Mom’s words came back to me, “One day your luck will change, Son. And when it happens, it’ll feel doubly(加倍的) good because of all the hard work you’ve had.” At that moment I knew what just what she meant.

【解析】

試題分析：本文作者通過講述自己找工作的事情，告訴我們一個道理。作者的媽媽一直告訴作者：一切都會好的。這句話，在作者畢業(yè)找工作時，得到了驗證。作者想做一個廣播員，主持一個運動節(jié)目。然而，頻頻遭到拒絕，有個招聘人員告訴他他缺少經(jīng)驗�；氐郊抑�后，作者應(yīng)聘一個售貨員的職位仍然沒有成功，這讓他很沮喪。然而在一次面試失敗等電梯的時候，一個偶然的機會讓他得到了理想的工作。在回去的路上作者再次想起了媽媽對他說的話。

【1】C細(xì)節(jié)理解題。由文中句子I had decided to try for a job in radio. One day, I wanted to host a sports program.可知，作者一開始就想在廣播臺主持一個運動節(jié)目，所以作者理想的工作是做一個運動解說員。故選C。

【2】D細(xì)節(jié)理解題。In one station, a kind lady said my problem was that I hadn’t got enough experience.一個好心的婦人說我的問題是沒有足夠的經(jīng)驗，所以我在芝加哥沒找到工作的原因是缺少經(jīng)驗。故選D。

【3】B推理判斷題。由文章可以推斷，作者是為工作做了足夠的準(zhǔn)備的，所以當(dāng)機會來臨時，他才能夠抓住，才能得到他理想中的工作。由常識也可以判斷，只等著而不做出努力，好運是不會降臨到身上的。所以，我們判斷，只有盡力做好每件事，好運才會降臨到你身上。故選B。

【4】A推理判斷題。由文章大概意思可以推斷，作者在芝加哥沒找到工作，所以作者才覺得很沮喪，又由下文一個好心人告訴他他的問題是缺少經(jīng)驗可以判斷，作者每次都被拒絕了。故選A。

【5】B中心歸納題。由文章講述的故事可以得知，本文主要是為了說明作者媽媽告訴他的那句話：一切都會好的。媽媽的話，這個題目太概括不能突出中心；沒有人會一直順利，不符合題意；在廣播站找工作很難，又太片面，不能概括中心。故選B。
