[语篇解读]本文是一篇记叙文。作者以前没有认识到教育的重要 性，但是在经历一次求职的失败后明白了，只有教育才能让自己拥有 美好的未来。在获得文凭后，作者终于得到了自己想要的工作，也理 解了父母要自己努力学习的原因。

1. A根据上下文可知，有一件事情让作者最终意识到了父母的意思。

realize意识到;remember记得;wonder疑惑，想知道;imagine想象。根 据题意，选A项。

2. D句意:一天，当我路过一家手机店时，我看见门上有一则广告。

go through经历;leave for动身去;step into走进;walk past路过。根据“、看见 门上的广告”可知，作者是路过这家店。故选D项。

3. B作者要问店里的经理，就必须走进商店，故选B项。

4. D句意:他从头到脚看了我几秒钟。根据生活常识，一般打量人只 用几秒钟就够了。故选D项。

5. A 根据上文 Yes,but you should be the man who we need 可知经理已 经说过话，Do you have a high school diploma?是他接着说的，故选 A项.

6. A因为“我”的条件达不到要求，所以“我”感到羞愧和不安，以至于 “我”不知道该说什么，因此“我”转身离开了。uncomfortable不舒服的， 不安的;impolite不礼貌的;unkind不仁慈的，不厚道的;impatient没耐心 的。根据ashamed可知作者当时羞愧难当，uncomfortable与ashamed意 思相一致。故选A项。

7. B “我”思考了很多关于“我”未来的事。hobby爱好;future未来; parents 父母;manager 经理。根据后面一句 “ I must go to school or I can’t do anything without a good education” 及文章最后一'句 Now I am not worried about my future...可知，经过这一事件，作者开始考虑自1己 的将来。故选B项。

8. C根据前文I thought a lot...可知，作者是思考时心中默默地对自己 说话。say to oneself自言自语。故选C项。

9. D因为上一次的经历，所以在完成学业获得文凭之前，“我”再也没去过那家商店。before在 之前。

10. B 根据下文 the same people and the same design 可知，一-切看卜夫 都保持原样。故选B项。

11. C然而，与上次相比，“我”有了更多信心。grade年级，分数;luck 运气;confidence信心;pleasure愉快。上一次作者什么也没有，但这 次作者得到了文凭，在获得文凭后回到这家商店，当然更有信心。 故选C项。

12. D 根据第二段中的 It was hiring new workers!及下一段中的 Great,you are in.可知这家店还在招聘新员工。故选D项。

13. B句意:我把文凭递给经理看。sell (过去式sold) 卖;show展示， show sth.to sb.把某物给某人看;send (过去式sent) 送，派;shake (过 去式shook) 摇动。根据题意选B项。

14. D有了这次亲身经历，“我”经常以此来建议他人要上学求知。

teach教;allow允许;order命令;advise建议。根据题意选D项。

15. A句意:现在我不用担心我的未来，因为我在空闲时仍然在学习。 根据上文 Education helps you have a bright future.可知，作者意识到 教育的重要性，因此可推断作者仍然在不断学习。故选A项。

[长难句]Ifelt so ashamed and uncomfortable that I didnH know what to say,so I just turned around and left.我感到羞愧和不安，以至于我不知道 该说什么，所以我转身离开了。此句是一个表示因果关系的并列复合句。so连接了两个并列分 句，第一个分句中包含so...that...(如此……以至于) 结构，其中that引 导了结果状语从句。在that引导的状语从句中，what to say是带疑问 词的不定式结构，作谓语动词know的宾语。
