Answer 1

答案：1．A;2．B;3．C;4．B;5．C;6．B;7．C;8．C;9．A;10．B;
解析：

(1)	从下文的“Well，I just don’t have the work relative to 　　2　　(physics)．I should give up on it…”得知，Albert Einstein起初没有得到做物理教授的工作。
(2)	instead在这里相当于instead of getting a job as a physics professor。
(3)	从前文我们得知，Einstein起初想做物理教授，没有哪个大学想要他。现在他出名了，没有哪所重点大学不想要他。
(4)	从后文“…supporting(养活)yourself by waiting tables”可知，以艺术为自己的工作时，做饭店服务员只是为了挣钱养活自己。
(5)	who在这里代表a waiter，本句的意思是“不要把自己看成一个有一天能成为艺术家的饭店服务员”。显然作者认为，你应该把自己看成艺术家，而不是服务员。
(6)	“一星期做24小时的服务员也许能挣到生存的薪水”，possible在这里表示“可能性”。其他选项不合题意。
(7)	一星期只做24小时服务员，那就会给自己留下足够的时间投身于培训或提高手艺。
(8)	从下一句“Having opened all the possibilities．you can make a final 　　9　　(decision)and select the work you love as your own．”可知作者在此认为你不应该把自己局限到(limited to)你应该是什么或已成为什么的观念上。
(9)	先是打开所有的可能，然后作出最终决定，最后选出最喜欢的。
(10)	从后文我们得知the imaginative指big dreams，而the practical指all the little details。
