    "Everything happens for the best, "my mother said whenever I faced disappointment, "If you 36 on, something good will happen some day."
    Mother was right, as I discovered after graduating from college. I had   37  myself for a sports announcer. So I went to Chicago to knock on the door of every station and was 38  every time. In one station, a kind lady told me that 39  stations wouldn't employ a person without   40 since I had just graduated. "Go out in the town and find a small station that might give you a chance, "she said.
    I returned to Dixon, where I had finished my high school education and had  41  in the school football team. My father said that our town had built a store and wanted a man to manage its sports department. The job sounded just 42   for me but I wasn't hired.
    My disappointment had 43  as if by design. "Everything happens for the best," Mum  44  me. Dad lent me his car to look for a job. I tried WOC Radio Davenport. The program director told me they had already hired an announcer.  45 I left his office, I asked aloud,"  46 can a fellow get to be a sports announcer if he can't get a job in a radio station?" Suddenly, I heard the director  47  . "Do you know anything about football? " Then he asked me to 48  an imaginary game. It was easy, and I did it without difficulty. The director was 49  and told me I would be broadcasting a game on the   50  Saturday.

    试题分析：本文通过“我”求职经过体现妈妈的话：Everything happens for the best. 大学刚毕业的“我”满以为会在 Chicago 能找到一份体育播音员的工作，但处处碰壁，最后经过一位好心人的指点回到上中学时的小镇，不过工作还是不好找。正当“我”因处处碰壁而大声发泄，“就连一份电台工作都找不到又怎么会当体育播音员呢？”正因为这次发泄结果被一电台主任听到并因“我”擅长体育而雇佣“我”做解说员。
    小题1:从前面的每当“我”面对失望时总是想到妈妈说的那句话及后面所举的“我”大学毕业后找工作的例子来看，只要继续(坚持)，总有一天会有好结果。carry on 意为“继续”。选D
    小题2:从下文来看，“我”想找一份体育播音员的工作。design 在此意为“意欲，打算”。design sb for… 指的是“打算当 / 做……”。选B
    小题3:从后文来看，在这个城市里是找不到工作的(有那位妇女的话佐证)，即“我”到每家电台求职，结果是每次都被“拒绝”了。选C。
    小题4:从后面的 since I just graduated 可知，“我”大学刚毕业，没有经验，而那位 lady 说的话正是“在 Chicago 大电视台是不会雇佣没有经验的人的”。选A。
    小题5:那位 lady 的话的意思是“一些小城镇的电台也许会雇佣像你这样的没有经验的人”，选A。
    小题6: “我”接受了她的建议，回到了读中学的 Dixon 镇。从后面的 in the school football team 及“我”的爱好可推测，“我”上中学时曾在校足球队踢球，故用 play。选A。
    小题7:前面说“我”想找体育播音员的工作，“我”又有高中体育队的经验，因此听起来这个工作很适合“我”。right 在此意为“合适”，be right for sb 为“适合某人”。选C。
    小题8:“我”找工作接连受挫，“我”的失望似乎是故意地展现出来。用show，选. 选A。
    小题9:从一开始就提到妈妈的这句话，现在当妈妈看到“我”脸上的表情及了解到找工作接连受挫时，妈妈又拿出了这句话来提醒“我”，让“我”坚持下去。选D。
    小题10:从前面 I tried WOC Radio Davenport 及下文的 I left his office, 可知是在我离开办公室后。选B。
    小题11:从那位主任办公室走出来后，“我”因找不到工作非常苦闷，于是大声喊叫以发泄。从结构来看，此空应用 how，句意为：如果在电台的工作都找不到，那他怎会做体育播音员呢？选B。
    小题12:从前面来看，好像这次求职又失败，于是“我”大声喊叫发泄一通，用calling，选A。
    小题13:该题可从后面的 …told me I would be broadcasting a game on the… 得到启发。选C。
    小题14:从语境来看，主任直接让“我”播在周六的比赛，可见他对“我”很满意。选D。
    小题15:从 …told me I would be broadcasting a game… 等来看，这场比赛将在下个周六举行，故用 the coming Saturday. 选B。
    点评：完形填空题是考查学生的综合能力，所以对于本文，应该多读几遍，联系上下文，找出内在的关系。并且要注意主谓一致，介词动词的搭配。

    It was Christmas 1961. I was teaching in a small town in Ohio where my twenty seven third graders eagerly anticipated the great day of gift giving.
    Each day the children made some new wonder – strings of popcorn, hand-made decorations, and German bells made from wallpaper samples, which we hung from the ceiling. Through it all she stayed indifferent(漠不关心的), watching from afar, seemingly miles away. I wondered what would happen to this quiet child, once so happy, now so suddenly unsociable. I hoped the festivities would light her up. But nothing did.
    The day of gift giving finally came. We oohed and aahed over our handwork as the presents were exchanged. Through it all, she sat quietly watching. I had made a special package for her, red and green with white lace. I wanted very much to see her smile. She opened it so slowly and carefully. I waited but she turned away.
    After school the children left in little groups, but she hesitated, watching them go out of the door. I sat down to catch my breath, hardly know what was happening when she came to me reaching out her hands, holding a small white box, unwrapped and slightly soiled, as though it had been held many times by unwashed, childish hands. “For me?” I asked with a weak smile. She said not a word, but nodded her head. I took the box and carefully opened it. There inside, lay a golden chain. In a flash I knew – she had made it for her mother, a mother she would never see again, a mother who would never hold her or brush her hair or share a funny story, a mother who would never again hear her childish joys or sorrows, a mother who had taken her own life just three weeks before.
    I held out the chain. She took it in both her hands, reached forward, and put it on at the back of my neck. She stepped back then as if to see that all was well. I looked down at the golden chain, then back at the giver, “Maria, it is so beautiful. She would have loved it.” Neither of us could stop the tears. She threw herself into my arms and we were in tears together. And for that moment I became her mother, for she had given me the greatest gift of all: herself.
    小题1:The underlined “anticipated” (Paragraph 1) is closest in meaning to _________.
    A．preparedB．expectedC．talkedD．kept
    小题2:We can learn from the story that_________.
    A．the beautiful chain was put inside a beautiful box
    B．Maria made a golden chain of popcorn for her mother
    C．the teacher made a special package for Maria so as to see her smile
    D．Maria oohed and aahed over the handwork as the presents were exchanged
    小题3:Maria became quiet and unsociable because_________.
    A．she was a shy girl
    B．her teacher didn’t give her any gift
    C．her mother passed away three weeks ago
    D．she didn’t have any friends in the class
    小题4:The underlined sentence (Paragraph 5) mostly means_________.
    A．Maria found her biological mother
    B．Maria asked her teacher to be her mother
    C．the teacher promised to be Maria’s mother after receiving her greatest gift
    D．Maria believed in her considerate teacher and opened her heart to the teacher

    Girls are born to imagine, particularly those at the age of seventeen or eighteen.   16 , I was one of them and sometimes I would go to extremes. That was exactly what happened several days ago, causing me great embarrassment.
    I was waiting for my train home at the station when a boy   17  at my side. His beautifully-curved face, his fashionable clothing and everything else about him, was so  18  that I just couldn’t help gazing (注视) at him. What was more   19  was that, he was also stealing some   20  at me, which made me blush (脸红) to the ends of my ears! Still, I tried to be calm and   21  that nothing had happened. However, once again when our eyes met, I could hear my heart   22  wildly, with an inner voice yelling, “Oh, my goodness, he is driving me   23 !” Shortly, I lowered my head to   24  his eyes, but my thoroughly red face had revealed (泄露) 25 .
    To my pleasant surprise, my   26  came true this time, as the handsome guy was drawing
      27 ! “Oh, please! Don’t   28 . Look at me. I am so sweaty and sloppy (多情的). Please don’t   29  my telephone number. You know I will give it to you without   30 , and that is so unladylike!” I was still struggling and trembling when he   31  right in front of me. “Excuse me...” he said with a slight hesitation. His voice was so nice, but I wish I had not   32  it, for in the end, he said: “I am sorry, but could you please give me my   33  back? Yours is over there.” Oh, my God! Nothing could have been more   34  when I handed his bag back to him, as shame almost brought me to tears.
    From that, I drew a big   35 : never imagine too much if someone gives you a few glances.
