试题分析：本文是一英语小故事。一个没有邮箱和电脑的人建立自自己的零售帝国。
1. 考查时态。这里应填谓语动词的过去时，HR manager: 人力资源部经理。
2. 考查连词。“Do sth., and sb./sth. will…”是一个常见句型，例如：Use your head, and you’ll find a way.
【小题3 】neither /nor /or 考查固定句型。若上句是否定句，则后一句常用neither或nor表示“也不，也没有”。 另外，在否定句中的并列连词不用and多用or。
3. 考查主语从句。在这里作主语引导主语从句，整句意思是“凡是不存在的人都不能拥有这份工作。”
4. 考查介词。with no hope at all= without any hope: 不怀任何希望。
5. 考查动词。此处缺少谓语动词故用success的动词形式succeeded。
6. 考查形容词最高级。这里应该用形容词的最高级形式，在one of the + 形容词+名词的结构里，形容词应是最高级形式，例如：She is one of the most diligent students in our class.
7. 考查冠词。Insurance是以元音音素/i/开头的单词，故用an。an insurance broker：一个保险经纪人
8. 考查副词。这里应填副词作状语修饰动词replied。
9. 考查宾语从句。引导宾语从句，在从句中作have been的表语。整个宾语从句用了虚拟语气，意思是：“要是你有email，那你又该成了什么样的人哪？”
考点：考查语法填空
