I began to look for work after I finished the school last year. Now several month later, I still didn’t find the job I was interested. Last Sunday morning I received a call from a man calling him Mr. Smith. He said to me in the phone, “I hear you do very well in your studies, but I may have a job for you.” When I entered his office I felt very nervous with a beaten heart. How I hoped I would get through the job hunting talk and she would accept me as a lab assistant. But to my surprised, what he said was disappointed. He only needed a model.

Answer 1

【答案】1. school前的the去掉 2. month→months 3. interested后面加in 4. him→himself 5. in→on 6. but→so 7. beaten→beating 8. surprised→surprise 9. hope→hoped 10. disappointed→disappointing

【解析】本文讲述了作者一次找工作的经历。

1. finish school 意思是“毕业了”，所以要去掉school前面的the。

2. several 修饰可数名词复数，所以month要用复数形式。

3. be interested in是固定搭配，所以要将漏掉的in加上。

4. 根据意思应该是“自称史密斯先生的人”，所以要将him改成himself。

5. “在电话中说”应该用on the phone，是英语的习惯表达，所以要将in改成on。

6. 句意：我听说你学习很出色，所以我想给你一份工作。上下文是因果关系，所以要将but改成so。

7. 应该用beating修饰heart，表示正在蹦蹦跳的紧张心情。beaten表示的是被动意思，不符合语境。

8. 结合全文可知，短文中要用一般过去时态，所以要将hope变成过去式hoped。

9. to my surprise是固定搭配，所以要将surprised改成surprise。

10. 句意：他所说的是多么令人失望。disappointed表示“（人）感到失望的”，所以要改成disappointing，表示“（事情）令人失望的”。
