5.She hoped to get married sometime and went on her nursing job. 短文的最后一段交待了Joan未来的计划-----在某个时候结婚，并且继续从事护士这一职业。如果不仔细审读，很可能将其中的一个要点遗漏。另外，还要注意该问题是一般过去时的句子，不可受短文中句子时态的影响。由此考生也应接受教训：做这一类题目的时候，不可简单地将材料中的句子照搬照抄，一定要读透题目，然后再考虑答案。

　Passage 5

　On October 12, 1989, some Chinese scientists were working at the computers to look for the invention they needed. Suddenly they saw something bright crossing the computers’ screens, and there was so much! At the same moment the computers were working much slower. To find out what was happening they stopped their work to check some parts of the computers. Much to their surprise, they found out that most of their stored information was cleared up by computer viruses (病毒)! What was worse, all these computers had been infected (感染) by computer viruses.

　It is said that the computer viruses were made by a group of young men who all had good education. They made the viruses just to show their intelligence (才能). These kinds of computer viruses are called Jerusalem Viruses. These viruses can stay in computers for a long time. When the time comes they ill attack the computers by slowing down the function (功能), damaging (破坏) their normal programs or even clearing up all the information.

　We now come to know that Jerusalem Viruses often attack computers on Friday so they are also called “Friday Viruses” and that they are spreading (传播) to a lot of computers. Among the countries that suffered (遭受) computer viruses are Britain, Australia, Switzerland, the United States of America, and some other countries. But till now, how to clean up the terrible viruses is still a problem.

4.She found an advertisement in a paper. 显然，“…but it never entered my head until I saw an advertisement in a paper.”这句话是答案的出处。

3.Because the singing group broke up. 短文首段的最末一句说明了Joan没有继续她的第二份工作的原因---“…the singing group broke up (解散) and I had to start looking for something else.”(歌舞团解散了)。

2.Because she didn’t like staying in the same place with the same people around her all day and every day. /Because she was fed up with it. Joan为什么不喜欢自己的第一份职业呢？由“…but that’s just about all you can say about it. I stayed in the same place with the same people around me all day and every day.”这句话不难看出，一天到晚和周围的那些老面孔的人呆在同一个地方，且天天如此，她感到厌倦了。

1.It was office work. 短文开头的第三句“I didn’t really like my first job, which was office work.”即是答案的依据。
