【解析】

本文叙述了一位村民在大城市谋得了一份工作并靠自己的能力获得了老板的信任。

1.他希望能在大城市找到一份工作。文中”Once there was a very poor villager. He found it difficult even to support his family. He walked about in the streets, but he did not get a job.”之前这个村民很穷，很难维持他们家的生活。他游荡在大街上，因为没有找到一份工作。由此我们可知选A。

2.所以商人要求这个村民给他写信。One day, the businessman saw that the villager was writing something. He said, “You can also read and write! Your handwriting is very good.”一天，商人看见村民的书写的能力不错，所以此处填的应该是E。

3.商人没有亲眼看见，所以他不相信那些会计说的。”They told the businessman that the villager had a small room where he hid the money stolen from him. “嫉妒村民的会计们和商人说村民偷了钱。所以后文应该写的是商人听到后的反应，故选G。

4.会计们关上门跑去向商人告状。”One day, they had their chance. They saw the villager going into ‘that’ room.”一天，会计们看见村民进去房间后，所以接下来紧接着的动作应该是B。

5.商人被眼前所看到的感动了。”The villager was ordered to open the box with his own hands. And there was only a pair of dirty shoes and some old clothes.”商人要求村民打开那个盒子，可发现里面只有一双脏鞋子，和一些破衣服。后写的应该是商人看到此后的感受，故选D。
