“Everything happens for the best,” my mo...

“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(播音员) 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.

1.C 2.D 3.B 4.A 5.B 【解析】 试题分析:本文作者通过讲述自己找工作的事情,告诉我们一个道理。作者的妈妈一直告诉作者:一切都会好的。这句话,在作者毕业找工作时,得到了验证。作者想做一个广播员,主持一个运动节目。然而,频频遭到拒绝,有个招聘人员告诉他他缺少经验。回到家之后,作者应聘一个售货员的职位仍然没有成功,这让他很沮丧。然而在一次面试失败等电梯的时候,一个偶然的机会让他得到了理想的工作。在回去的路上作者再次想起了妈妈对他说的话。 1.C细节理解题。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,作者一开始就想在广播台主持一个运动节目,所以作者理想的工作是做一个运动解说员。故选C。 2.D细节理解题。In one station, a kind lady said my problem was that I hadn’t got enough experience.一个好心的妇人说我的问题是没有足够的经验,所以我在芝加哥没找到工作的原因是缺少经验。故选D。 3. 4.A推理判断题。由文章大概意思可以推断,作者在芝加哥没找到工作,所以作者才觉得很沮丧,又由下文一个好心人告诉他他的问题是缺少经验可以判断,作者每次都被拒绝了。故选A。 5.B中心归纳题。由文章讲述的故事可以得知,本文主要是为了说明作者妈妈告诉他的那句话:一切都会好的。妈妈的话,这个题目太概括不能突出中心;没有人会一直顺利,不符合题意;在广播站找工作很难,又太片面,不能概括中心。故选B。 考点:人生百味类短文阅读
