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?” 1 .
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. 2 .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. 3

It was not yet eleven o’clock when a boat crossed the river with a single passenger who had obtained his transportation at that unusual hour by promising an extra fare.
While the youth stood on the landing-place searching in his pockets for money, the ferryman lifted a lantern, by the aid of which, together with the newly risen moon, he took a very accurate survey of the stranger’s figure. He was a young man of barely eighteen years, evidently country bred(长大的), and now, as it seemed, on his first visit to town. He was wearing a rough gray coat, which was in good shape, but which had seen many winters before this one. The garments under his coat were well constructed of leather, and fitted tightly to a pair of muscular legs; his stockings of blue yarn must have been the work of a mother or sister, and on his head was a three-cornered hat, which in its better days had sheltered the grayer head of the lad’s father. In his left hand was a walking stick, and his equipment was completed by a leather bag not so abundantly stocked as to inconvenience the strong shoulders on which it hung. Brown, curly hair, well-shaped-features, bright, cheerful eyes were nature’s gifts, and worth all that art could have done for his adornment(装饰).
The youth, whose name was Robin, paid the boatman, and then walked forward into the town with a light step, as if he had not already traveled more than thirty miles that day. As he walked, he surveyed his surroundings as eagerly as if he were entering London or Madrid, instead of the little metropolis(都市)of a New England colony.
What time of the year was it in this story?
A. Winter. B. Fall. C. Summer. D. Spring.
The boatman was willing to take Robin across the river because ________.
A. he was going to row across the river anyway
B. he saw that Robin was young and rich
C. he would give extra money
D. he felt sorry for him because Robin looked poor
The stockings that Robin wore were obviously _________.
A. well worn B. very expensive C. handmade D. much too big
From the text we can learn that Robin had traveled __________.
A. from London B. from Madrid
C. from a nearby city D. over thirty miles
At what time of day did Robin cross the river?
A. Night. B. Late afternoon C. Midday. D. Morning.

I sometimes wonder if old Finchley has the right personality to be a research scientist. He keeps asking when he’ll be coming back. After all, it was his own fault. Nobody tries out what has just been invented on themselves any more but Finchley. Well, he must have pumped about a thousand cc into himself before I noticed he was clearly becoming smaller.
It was funny watching him, because his clothes remained the same in size. They simply piled up around him so that he looked like a small boy in his father’s clothes. But he kept getting smaller and smaller. As my colleague Dawson and I watched him, he disappeared! All we could see was Finchley’s clothes on the floor. They looked so strange, because the lab coat was on top, shirt and trousers inside and, I suppose, underclothes inside again. It gave me a strange feeling, and I think Dawson was a bit shaken, too.
Dawson was sitting on his chair in front of a microscope he’d been using to examine a family of mites(螨). He looked through the scope kind of absently again, and was nearly scared to lose awareness when he found old Finchley waving back from the other end.
It seems as if Finchley had taken a free ride on a dust mite and landed on the land of the mite family. Of course, we didn’t know till Finchley told us later. But anyhow, as I said, Dawson nearly passed out. He jumped off his chair and pointed at the microscope, too shocked to speak.
【小题1】It can be inferred that Finchley, Dawson and the writer have possible invented .
A.a machine to make people small | B.a new way to study the family of mites |
C.a new powerful microscope | D.some kind of medicine |
A.he tried out what has just invented on himself |
B.his father’s clothes totally covered him up |
C.he took something poisonous |
D.he was changed into a dust mite |
A.will remain tiny all the time | B.is a devoted scientist |
C.is not fit to be a scientist | D.passed out there and then |
A.got out of his scope by accident | B.was waving through his scope |
C.suddenly got lost in his clothes | D.gradually disappeared in the lad |
