    A Lesson for Living

    　　Mom is my life teacher．“Everything happens for the best,” my mother said 　　1　　 I faced disappointment．“If you 　　2　　 one day something good will happen．And you'll 　　3　　 that it wouldn't have happened if not for that previous disappointment．”

    　　Mother was 　　4　　, as I discovered after graduating from college, I had decided to try for a job 　　5　　 radio, then work my way up to 　　6　　．In Chicago, I knocked on the door of every station and got 　　7　　 every time．

    　　In one studio, a kind lady told me that big stations couldn't risk hiring an 　　8　　 person, “Go out to find a small station,” she suggested．

    　　I thumbed home to Dixon, Illinois．　　9　　, there were no radio-announcing jobs in Dixon, my father said Montgomery Ward had opened a store and 　　10　　 a local athlete to manage its sports department．Since Dixon was 　　11　　 I had played high school football, I applied．The job sounded 　　12　　 right for me．But I wasn't hired．

    　　My 　　13　　 must have shown．“Everything happens for the best,” Mom reminded me．I tried WOC Radio in Davenport．The program director, named Peter Mac Arthur, told me they had already hired one．

    　　As I left his office, my frustration boiled over．I asked aloud, “How 　　14　　 a fellow get to be a sports announcer if he can't get a job in a radio station?”

    　　I was leaving when I heard Mac Arthur calling,“　　15　　 was that you said about sports? Do you know 　　16　　 about football?” Then he 　　17　　 me before a microphone and asked me to broadcast a(n)　　18　　 game．After that, Peter told me I would be broadcasting Saturday's game!

    　　On my way home, 　　19　　 since, I always thought of my mother's words：“If you carry on, one day something good will happen．And you'll”…

    　　I often wonder what 　　20　　 my life might have taken if I'd gotten the job at Montgomery Ward．

    解析：

    (1)

    作者“每逢”失望时，母亲总是安慰说一切都会朝最好的方向发展。

    (2)

    如果你“坚持下去”，总有一天好事会发生。get over表示“克服(困难等)”，通常用作及物动词短语，后面要跟宾语。

    (3)

    母亲告诉作者只有经历过失望才能“意识到”好事情的发生。此句是虚拟语气，意思是假如没有先前的失望，就不会有好的事情发生。

    (4)

    作者根据自己的求职经历认为母亲的话是“对的”。

    (5)

    作者已经决定在电台找一份工作，此处的radio表示“电台”，所以用in。此外，第2个空格处前面的station、第三段开头部分的in one studio以及第9个空格处后面的in a radio station都是暗示。

    (6)

    根据第9个空格处后面的as ports announcer可知作者想当一名“体育播音员”。

    (7)

    作者每次敲电台的门总是被对方“拒绝”。

    (8)

    大电台不能冒险雇佣“没有经验的”人。另外，第二段的开头部分提到作者刚刚大学毕业后就去找工作，显然不具备经验。B、D两项意思基本相同，可排除。

    (9)

    作者在外求职屡屡碰壁，“可是”回到家乡后也没有找到电台播音的工作。如选择最后一项，需去掉后面的逗号。

    (10)

    Montgomery Ward想“招聘”一名当地运动员去管理它的体育部门。desire表示“期望；要求”，语意不恰当；agree是不及物动词，后不可直接跟宾语。

    (11)

    where I had played high school football是表语从句，where在从句中作状语。若选择C项，需把that改为where或in which。

    (12)

    此处just表示强调，即这份工作听起来对作者正合适。

    (13)

    那份工作似乎是为作者量身打造的，可作者却没有被雇佣，自然会流露出“失望”的表情。此处与第一段开头部分的第二句相呼应。

    (14)

    此处can表示“可能”，意思是如果一个人不能在电台找到一份工作，他怎么可能成为一名体育播音员呢？

    (15)

    what作said的宾语。

    (16)

    对方询问作者是否对足球有所了解。前两项意思基本相同，应排除。

    (17)

    此处stand是及物动词，表示“使站立”，即对方让作者站在麦克风前。

    (18)

    作者没有亲临现场，不是在向观众进行直播，因此是在广播一场“想象的”比赛。

    (19)

    自此之后，作者在回家路上“时不时地”会想起母亲的话。C项表示“暂时”，不符合所给语境。

    (20)

    　　解析：what引导的宾语从句是虚拟语气，意思是如果当初得到了Montgomery Ward提供的那份工作，真不知自己的人生会何去何从，言外之意是作者暗自庆幸自己当时没有被雇佣。

    　　文章大意：作者大学毕业后在求职过程中屡屡碰壁，失望之情溢于言表。是母亲的话让他重新鼓起生活的船帆，最终达到胜利的彼岸。

         Honesty is the first chapter in the book of wisdom.
                                                                            ―Thomas Jefferson
         As a high school coach, I did all I could to help my boys win their games. I pushed as hard for   1   as they
    did. 　
         A dramatic incident,   2  , following a game in which I was appointed as a referee (裁判),   3   my views on
    victories and defeats. I was refereeing a league championship basketball game in New Rochelle, New York,
    between New Rochelle and Yonkers High. New Rochelle was coached by Dan O'Brien, Yonkers by Les Beck.
         The gym was   4   with audience, and the volume of noise made it   5   to hear. The game was well played
    and   6   contested. Yonkers was   7   by one point as I   8   the clock and discovered there were only 30
    seconds left to play.
         Yonkers,   9   the ball, passed off-shot-missed. New Rochelle recovered-pushed the ball up court - shot. The
    ball   10   around the rim and off. The fans shouted with disappointment. 　
         New Rochelle, the   11   team, recovered the ball, and tapped it in ( 拨进篮框) for what looked like victory.
    The noise of whistles, screams and shouts was   12  . I took a quick look at the clock and saw that the game
    was over. I hadn't heard the final buzzer (终场哨声) because of the noise. I  13  with the other official, but he
    could not help me. 　
         Still   14   help in this chaos, I approached the timekeeper, a young man of 17 or so. He said,"Mr. Covina,
    the buzzer   15   as the ball rolled off the rim,  16   the tap-in was made." 　
         I was in the unpleasant position of having to tell Coach O'Brien the   17   news."Dan," I said, " Yonkers won
    the game." 　
         His face clouded over. The young timekeeper came up. He said, "I'm sorry, Dad. The time ran out before the
    final basket." 　
         Suddenly, Coach O'Brien's face  18  . He said, "That's okay, Joe. You did what you had to do. I'm  19   of
    you." 　
         Turning to me, he said, "Al, I want you to meet my   20  , Joe." 　
         The two of them then walked off the court together, shoulder to shoulder.
