Question

根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容，從短文后的選項中選出能填入空白處的最佳選項，選項中有兩項為多余選項。

Choosing the right job is probably one of the most important decisions we have to make in life, and it is frequently one of the hardest decisions we have to make. One important question that you might ask yourself is: “How do I get a good job?” 1. .

There are people who can answer an insignificant advertisement in the local paper and land the best job in the world; others write to all sorts of places all over the country, and never seem to get a reply at all. Still others believe that the in person, door-to-door approach is by far the best way to get a job; and then there are those who, through no active decision of their own, just seem to be in the right place at the right time. 2. . He used to spend a lot of his free time down by the sea watching the tall ships, but never thinking that he might one day sail one of them. His father was a farmer, and being a sailor could never be anything for the boy but an idle dream. One day, on his usual wandering, he heard the captain of the ship complaining that he could not sail because one member of his crew was sick. Without stopping to think, the lad（少年）offered to take his place. 3. .

4. . If the lad had gone home to consider about his decision for a week, he may have missed his chance. It is one thing to be offered an opportunity; it is another thing to take it and use it well.

Sometimes we hear stories about people who break all the rules and still seem to land plum jobs（美差）. When you go for a job interview or fill out an application, you are expected to say nice things about the company to which you are applying. 5. . And within a year this person had become general manger of the company.

【解析】

1.根據(jù)上一句的How do I get a good job，講了找工作的方法可知，該句為對這個問題的回答

2.根據(jù)后面的He used to spend a lot of his free time down by the sea可知下文列舉了一個海員的例子，故選D項。

3.根據(jù)上文的內(nèi)容和Without stopping to think, the lad(少年) offered to take his place前一句說男孩接替了這個位置，故選F，他的余生都在這里工作

4.根據(jù)后面的 If the lad had gone home to ponder（考慮）his decision for a week, he may have missed his chance可知是對這個例子的總結，這個例子說明抓住機會很重要

5. E根據(jù)后面的And within a year this person had become general manger of the company可知前面說面試時人們一般喜歡說公司的好，故選E，但是有一個人是說了公司的缺點而找到了工作
