Question

I really love my job because I enjoy working with small children and like the challenges and awards from the job. I also think my work is important. I wasn’t an excellent student because I didn’t do much schoolwork. In my final term I started thinking what I might do and found I didn’t have much to offer.
I then found myself a job, looking after two little girls. It wasn’t too bad at first. But the problems began when I agreed to live in. I would be there if my boss had to go out for business in the evening. We agreed that if I had to work extra hours one week, she’d give me time off the next. But unluckily, it didn’t often work out. I was getting very tired. Because I had too many late nights and early mornings with the children.
One Sunday, I was in the park with the children, and met Megan who used to go to school with me. I told her about my situation. She suggested that I should do a course and get a qualification（资格证书）if I wanted to work with children. I didn’t think I would be accepted because I didn’t take many exams in school. She asked me to phone the local college and they were really helpful. My experience counted for a lot and I got on a part-time course. I had to leave my job with the family, and got work helping out at a kindergarten.
Now I’ve got a full-time job there. I shall always be thankful to Megan. I wish I had known earlier that I could have a success, even if I am not top of the class at school.

试题分析：
小题1:本文第一段第二行有一句I wasn’t an excellent student because I didn’t do much schoolwork.意思为我不是一个出色的学生，因为我不做许多作业，所以我们可以知道作者作为一名学生是懒惰的学生，故本题选D。
小题2:本文第二段第一句是I then found myself a job, looking after two little girls.意思为然后我亲自找到一份工作，照看两个小女孩， 故作者的第一份工作是临时照看小孩，故本题选B。
小题3:本文第二段最后一句是Because I had too many late nights and early mornings with the children.意思为因为和孩子们在一起晚上我要弄得很晚，早晨我要起来的很早，所以作者工作的时间很长，故本题选B。
小题4:本文第三段第五行有一句是I got on a part-time course. I had to leave my job with the family,我参加了一个兼职的课程，所以我必须要辞去我原先照看小孩的工作，根据句意故本题选C。
小题5:本文主要谈论了我学生时代的懒惰，但后期通过自身的努力和学习却取得了成功，找到了一份不错的全职工作，从作者的个人经历可知即使你学生时代不是很好，通过个人的努力仍然是可以取得成功。故本题选A。
