    根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
    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?”___71___.
    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. ___72____.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. ___73___.
    __74__.If the lad had gone home to ponder（考虑） 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. ___75___.And within a year this person had become general manger of the company.
    A．This story also illustrates the importance of seizing an opportunity when it presents itself.
    B．People find jobs in an infinite number of ways.
    C．it’s almost impossible to find a good job by answering advertisement in newspapers
    D．Take for example the young man who wanted to be a sailor.
    E. But there was one person who landed an excellent job by telling the interviewer all the company’s faults.
    F. He spent the rest of his life happily sailing the ships he had always loved.
    G. It is very important to seize an opportunity when it presents itself.

    Honesty comes in many forms. First there’s self-honesty. Is what people see the real article or do you appear through smoke and mirrors? I find that if I try to be something I’m not , I feel unsure of myself and take out a part from my PBA(personal bank account ).I love how singer Judy Garland put it, “Always be a first-class version(版本) of yourself , instead of a second-class version of somebody else .”
    Then there’s honesty in our actions. Are you honest at school, with your parents, and with your boss? If you’ve ever been dishonest, I think we all have, try being honest, and notice how whole it makes you feel. Remember, you can’t do wrong and feel right. This story by Jeff is a good example of that:
    In my second year of study, there were three kids in my math class who didn’t do well. I was really good at it. I would charge them three dollars for each test that I helped them pass. I’d write on a little piece of paper all the right answers, and hand them off.
    At first I felt like I was making money, kind of a nice job. I wasn’t thinking about how it could hurt all of us. After a while I realized I shouldn’t do that anymore, because I wasn’t really helping them. They weren’t learning anything, and it would only get harder down the road. Cheating certainly wasn’t helping me.
    It takes courage to be honest when people all around you are getting away with cheating on tests, lying to their parents, and stealing at work. But, remember, every act of honesty is a deposit（储蓄）into your PBA and will build strength.
    小题1:The underlined part “appear through smoke and mirrors” in the first paragraph means “         ”.
    小题2:Which of the following can best explain Judy Garland’s words?
    A．Be your true self rather than follow others.
    B．Don’t copy others or you can’t be the first class.
    C．Make efforts to be the first instead of the second.
    D．Don’t learn from others unless they’re excellent.
    小题3:What does the author expect to show by Jeff’s story ？
    A．honesty can be of great help.
    B．A bad thing can be turned into a good one.
    C．Helping others cheat can do good to nobody.
    D．One should realize the wrong in his bad deeds.
    小题4:In the last paragraph the author mainly wants to express              .
    A．one must be brave to be honest
    B．it’s difficult to be honest when others are not
    C．one should be honest when making a deposit
    D．honesty in one’s actions can help him in the future

    When Jackie Robinson walked onto Ebbets Field in Brooklyn, New York, on April 15, 1947, he changed baseball forever. As the first African American to play in the Major League in modern times, many believe he changed the country forever.
    Robinson was born in 1919. He lived in a time when rules controlled what African Americans could do. He was a top athlete, playing football, basketball and baseball. But playing for a major League team was off limits to Robinson because of his race.
    Branch Rickey, president and manager of the Brooklyn Dodgers, signed (和……签约) Robinson in 1947. He believed that Robinson not only had the skills, but the courage to face the challenge of becoming modern baseball’s first black player.
    It wasn’t easy. Robinson sometimes faced boos (嘘声) from fans. But he became a star, anyway. In 1962, he became the first African-American player chosen to enter the Baseball Hall of Fame. In 2005, he was awarded a Congressional Gold Medal, the highest award Congress can give to an American.
    By breaking baseball’s color barrier (肤色障碍), Robinson opened the door for many to follow his footsteps, not only in baseball, but in other areas of life as well. After he stopped playing the game, Robinson worked as a manager for a coffee company. He wrote a newspaper column (专栏). He also  started a bank.
    小题1:Before Jackie Robinson, no African-American players could __________.
    A．play baseballB．play in the Major League
    C．play football and basketballD．watch Major League games
    小题2:According to Branch Rickey, Jackie Robinson was __________.
    A．poor but cleverB．unlucky but confident
    C．proud and strongD．brave and skilled
    小题3:We can know that Jackie Robinson’s story __________.
    A．changed many Africans’ ideas
    B．had an effect on many black people’s lives
    C．encouraged black people to fight with whites
    D．started a hot discussion about the color barrier
    小题4:Which of the following is NOT what he once did?
    A．a newspaper column writerB．a banker
    C．a university teacherD．a manager in a company

    It was four o'clock when we left Micatlan,and we traveled quickly until it became almost completely dark.It was our intention to return to our general quarters in Atlacomulco that night.We had a long journey ahead of us,especially because it had been decided there was no way we would try to cross the ravines again at night,since they were considered far too dangerous.Futhermore,an eclipse of the moon was expected,and,in fact,while we were crossing an open field,the moon appeared on the horizon,half in shadow,a rare and beautiful sight.
    After a few hours of riding,we suddenly realized that we had lost our way,and worse still,had no way of finding it again.Night had fallen and there was not a single hut in sight,only great plains and mountains and the lowing of distant bulls all around us.We continued on ahead,trusting in luck,though it was difficult to say where she had brought us.By good fortune,our advance riders ran into two Indians,a man and a boy,who agreed to guide us their village and no further.
    After an interminable and exhausting road,which we traveled at a brisk trot,the barking of several dogs announced an Indian village.In the dying light,we could just make out cane huts,firmly situated between the banana trees,with fenced gardens in front of each one.Our convoy stopped in front of one particular hut,a kind of inn or shop for alcohol,where a naked goblin-like figure,the ideal husband for a witch,was serving cheap brandy to the Indians,most of whom were already drunk.
    We dismounted and threw ourselves to the ground,too tired to even think.Someone found us,God knows how,a cup of dreadful hot chocolate.We began to realize that we were completely lost,and so it was agreed to give up our attempt to reach Atlacomulco that night.Instead,we should head for the village of “E1 Puente”,where our guides know a Spanish family,made up of several unmarried brothers,who,without any doubt,would be delighted to offer us a safe refuge for the rest of the night.We remounted and began our journey,a little restored after the pause in our journey and the dreadful hot chocolate.
    小题1:Where did we travel to?
    A．El Puente.B．The cane huts.C．Atlacomulco.D．An Indian Village.

    B．we should go on to seek after our fortune
    C．we should go back where we started
