Answer 1

　21.B  22.A  23.D  24.C  25.D  26.A  27.A  28.D 29.B  30.C

　31.D  32.A  33.C  34.D  35.B  36.C  37.C  38.B 39.A  40.B

解析：

21--22 . One of my father’s favorite sayings as I was growing up was “Try it!” I couldn’t say I didn’t like 21, whatever it might be, 22 I tried it. 整体第一句没有设空，能够更好的让考生理解全篇。我父亲的这句话对我的影响是相当的大的。我原本也有一些不喜欢的事情，但是直到作者尝试了以后，我就对这些事情的态度变化了。

23―24. Over the years I’ve come to 23 how much of my success I owe to my 24 of those words as one of my values.  这么多年来，我开始意识到我的很多的成功多归功于父亲的话。这句子包含一个感叹句，注意句子中的结构 owe … to …把…归功于… 

25―26. My 25 job was just one I decided to try for a couple of years until I 26 what I wanted to do as a career (职业) . 我这里开始介绍我的工作经历，25题很简单，第一项工作。26题determine 下定决心做… 通过下文可以看出来，我在从事第一项工作时的态度只是想先试试看，如果遇到热衷的想当成自己固定职业的工作的话，还会离开的。

27―28．27 I believed I would work for a few years, get married, stay home and raise a family, so I didn’t think the job I took 28 that much . 这里说出来了作者的态度。事实上，我自认为我会工作几年之后就结婚，建立家庭… 所以呢我并没有把这项工作看的特别的重要。这里考查的词是：matter. 要紧的，重要的也可以用count.

29. 这个空要通过上下文理解。I couldn’t have been more 29. 下文在叙述我在尝试中，自己的本不具有的一些生活技能居然在通过各种经历后养成了。也就是说我的开始的想法是错误的。而在这句话中还考察了一个语法结构：not + 比较级的用法，这句话的基本含义是：我不可能比这更错了，也就是说我的想法是错误的了。 又如：never slept better―从来没有比睡得更好过。

30. move up 上升，这里指工作上取得了提升。

31. position 指职位，岗位。此处下文33空是有提示的。

32. 此处点题， I adopted each new opportunity with the 32, “Well, I’ll try it; if I don’t like it I can always go back to my 33 position.” 我总是采用一中态度来面对我的每一次新机会，那就是这种想法（thought）：如果我不喜欢这个新的机会我就会回到原来的那一个，也就是说是早些时候的那个。

33. earlier早些时候的

34.通过but可以看出我的态度发生了变化，在过去的28年中，我一直待在同一个公司，并且每次的工作变化作者都很享受，高兴，做的很好。所以34题选择enjoy。

35. 直到此时我才发现其实自己拥有（possess）很多的不同才能。I’ve discovered I 35 a large number of different talents (才能) and skills

36. be open to 对…开放，即我情愿接受… 这句的意思是：要不是我愿意尝试新的机会，我就不会想到我拥有这么多的才能。 Had it not been for = If it had not been for …要不是…

37―38. I’ve also discovered that if I 37 what I’m doing and word hard at achieving my 38. I will succeed.    Believe in 相信，信任； goal 目标。此句意思是：我还发现如果我相信我自己并且一直努力去做就一定能够达到目标取得成功。

39．这就是我为什么如此兴奋成为CareerFables.com的一员。

40．而且我认为时机time已到，我决心一定要取得成功。
