“Everything happens for the best,” my mother said whenever I faced disappointment. “If you can 41 on, one day something good will happen. And you’ll 42 that it wouldn’t have happened if not for that previous disappointment.”
Mother was right, as I discovered after graduating from college. I had designed myself for a 43 announcer(播音员). So I went to Chicago and knocked on the door of every station and got 44 every time.
In one station, a kind lady told me that 45 stations wouldn’t risk employing a person without 46 since I had just graduated. “Go out in the town and find a small station that might give you a chance,” she said.
I returned to Dixon, 47 I had finished my high school education and had 48 in the school football team. My father said that our town had opened a store and wanted a local athlete to 49 its sports department(部门). The job sounded just 50 for me but I wasn’t hired.
My 51 had shown as if by design. “Everything happens for the best,” Mum 52 me. Dad offered me his car to job hunt. I tried WOC Radio in Davenport. The program director told me they had already hired a/an 53 . 54 I left his office, my frustration boiled over(发怒).I asked aloud, “ 55 can a fellow get to be a sports announcer 56 he can’t get a job in a radio station?”
Suddenly, I heard the director 57 .“What was that you said about sports? Do you know anything about football?” Then he stood me before a microphone and asked me to 58 an imaginary game.
It was easy, and I did it without difficulty. The director was 59 and told me I would be broadcasting a game on the 60 Saturday.

【解析】本文主要围绕着母亲的教导“Everything happens for the best.”而展开故事，告诉我们不要畏惧困难和挫折！要坚持下去！一切都会为了更美好的未来而发生的。
1.考查动词。carry on 在这里的意思是“继续，不放弃” 相当于not give up。2.考查动词。句意; “一切都会好的。如果你坚持下去，总有一天会有好事发生。你会认识到，如果没有以前的挫折就不会有现在的一切。”
3.考查名词。结合下文can a fellow get to be a sports announcer sports announcer可知答案。我曾给我自己设计了一个sports announcer (体育播音员)的工作。
4.考查动词。从空前的every station 及空后的every time得此答案。从后文我们也可以得知，最后，WOC Radio Davenport录用了“我”，因此以前的这些都拒绝了“我”。
5.考查形容词。从后文那位lady 说的话“Go out in the town and find a small station that might give you a chance.” 我们得知，她认为大的电台不会录用“我”。
6.考查名词。从空后的since I had just graduated 得知，“我没有工作经验。”
7.考查连词。where 在此引导非限定性定语从句,修饰地点名词Dixon。
8.考查动词。join 表示加入某个团体时后面不加in。
9.考查动词。父亲说，蒙哥马利·沃德开了一家新商店，想雇请一个本地的运动员管理店里的体育部。manage在这里是“经营，管理”的意思。
10.考查形容词。工作听起来挺适合我的，但是我没被聘用。因为是体育部要人，因此工作对“我”是对口的。作者一直想找一个适合自己专业的工作，如体育播音员等，因此作者以为管理商店的体育部适合自己。
11.考查名词。“我的失望（找工作失败）好象设计好了后向我袭来。
12.考查动词。remind在这里是“提醒”的意思。“一切总会好的，”母亲提醒我说。
13.考查名词。我试到爱荷华州达文波特的WOC电台去求职。那里的电台节目负责人告诉我他们已经雇到播音员了。
14.考查连词。离开他办公室时，我愤怒极了。as 当……的时候。
15.考查疑问词。“一个连在电台都找不到工作的家伙又怎么能成为体育节目的播音员呢？”
16.考查连词。“一个连在电台都找不到工作的家伙又怎么能成为体育节目的播音员呢？”
17.考查动词。突然我听见负责人喊道：“你说什么体育？你了解橄足球吗？”因为此时“我”已经离开了他的办公室，因此他从背后喊。
18.考查动词。接着他让我站到麦克风前，请我解说一场想象中的比赛。其他答案有一定干扰性。从前文我们得知“我”去寻找的是一份体育播音员的差事，而不是运动员，因此其他答案不合题意。
19.考查形容词。因为“我”表现出色，因此他对“我”很满意。
20.考查形容词。the coming Saturday 即the next Saturday。

I said, " 4 , but if you wash the dishes you must know the 5 to wash them." Jim replied, "Come on, you think I don't know how to wash the dishes?" I 6 , "There are two ways to wash the dishes. The first is to wash the dishes in order to have clean dishes 7 the second is to wash the dishes to wash the dishes." Jim was delighted and said, "I 8 the second way - to wash the dishes to wash the dishes." From then on, Jim knew how to wash the dishes. I 9 the "responsibility" to him for an entire week. While washing dishes, 10 we think only of the cup of tea that awaits us, thus 11 to get the dishes out of the way as if they were a(n) 12 , then we are not "washing the dishes to wash the dishes." What's more, we are not 13 during the time we are washing the dishes. 14 , we are completely incapable of 15 the miracle of life while standing at the sink. If we can't wash the dishes, the chances are we won't be 16 to drink our tea either. While drinking the cup of tea, we will only be thinking of other things, barely 17 of the cup in our hands. Thus we are sucked away into the 18 and we are incapable of actually 19 one minute of life. Try to wash the dishes the next time you wash the dishes, when your mind is 20 but on the dishes. | ||||
