Question

Last week, I took a sales class for female business owners. The1thing the instructor did was ask if anyone had been the victim of a2sales experience. Every person in the room3her hand.
When she knew details, we learned that the4situations had one thing in common. It5that whenever a class member had a bad sales experience, it involved the6promising something he wouldn’t or couldn’t deliver.
The example I7with the class was a current one. I bought a summer membership at our community pool8because it advertised a lovely baby pool to which I could escape with my active one and four year-olds. However, every time I’ve used the pool this summer, the baby area has been9. Too much chlorine（氯气）,10one manager.
I’m sure the pool director was very apologetic that his11had been inconvenienced, and that’s nice, but the12is that I did not get what I paid for. When the baby pool was closed, I had to swim with my     13  in the adult pool, which did not     14  me the control I wanted and as such, was quite stressful. I would have rather stayed home.
The pool has     15 a customer. I will not be buying a pass next summer.
In work and in life, it is really important not to16something you can’t deliver, because at best, it will improve your17 . At worse, you could lose your job.18, before you assure a co-worker or customer that you can get something done, make sure that your boss or someone higher-up isn’t going to step in and force you to19your plan. You are not God, so don’t lead people to believe that you20the universe.

点评：本文通过自己参加课程的学习，从大家的共同的经历中得到在人生中很重要的一个教训就是不要说大话，如果说了大话却无法做到，会给我们的人生带来很大的损失。本文主要是测试学生综合运用语言的能力，即从语篇的角度综合测试阅读理解能力、词汇的掌握和对英语习惯用语的熟悉程度、以及语法规则的灵活运用。考生做题时必须时刻从上下文考虑，不应该只看到所添的词在短语或句子内是否可行。因此，在做题时最好将全文通读一下，了解了全文的意思以后再作答。
