【解析】

试题分析：短文大意：该文通过一伙大学生求职的故事告诉人们帮助别人就是帮助自己的道理。

1.句意：许多年轻的大学生来求职。ask for the job求职，是一个固定短语。结合语境可知故填写动词ask。

2.句意：在去面试房间的路上放着装满试卷的一个大盒字，几张卷子躺在盒子周围。 full of装满，是一个形容词短语，常常放在被修饰的名词之后。结合语境，所以填写形容词full。

3.句意：谁把这个盒子放在路中间的？联系上文中句子A big box __________ of papers was placed on the way to the interview room,可知该填写名词box。

4.句意：所有的人都抱怨这个盒子，但没有一个人试图移动它。联系后文中句子What’s worse, someone even stepped (踩) on the papers and left without having a look at the things on the ground.可知该填写不定代词none。

5.句意：他也在那些被留下来参加面试的人中。结合语境可知故填写介词among。

6.句意：他毫不犹豫地停下来开始捡试卷，并把放进盒子里。结合语境可知该填写动词stopped。

7.句意：让他大吃一惊，他发现了在盒子下的邀请。to one’s surprise，使某人吃惊的是，是一个固定短语，结合语境可知故填写名词surprise。

8.你就是我们要寻找的合适的人。结合语境可知该填写形容词right。
