【解析】

试题分析：约翰是一个非常强壮的男人。他找到了一份在森林伐木的工作。他的老板给了他一把斧头。第一天，约翰砍了18棵。但第二天他只能砍15棵。第三天他甚至感觉困难，他只能砍10棵。一天又一天的砍伐，树木越来越少。这个故事的寓意是：约翰努力工作的时候，他没有考虑如何更好地做他的工作。

1.根据Once he got a job cutting wood in a forest. 可知找到的是伐木的工作，故填B

2.根据第二段可知约翰一直在努力工作，故选B

3.根据I have no time to sharpen my axe . I was busy trying to cut down trees !可知是因为没有磨快斧头，所以砍的树少了，故填B

4.根据John tried harder the next day， but could only cut down 15 trees .可知第二天砍到了15棵，故填B

5.
