提示：

(1)	从全文内容可知，Ella Fant非常爱与自己相依为命的独生子John。
(2)	in one's eyes或in the eyes of sb．“在某人的心目中，在某人看来”。beliefs信仰。
(3)	她对儿子过于偏爱，在她看来他不会做任何错事。
(4)	in bed “在床上，卧床”。
(5)	根据不定式所修饰的名词papers可以确定应选read。Fant过分溺爱儿子，总是把早饭端到儿子的床头，把报纸拿给儿子看。
(6)	从上句来看，John过着懒惰的生活，但并不是懒得什么都不干。
(7)	上句中的work和下文中表示职业的名词表示“他曾尝试过几种工作”。因为work是不可数名词，所以不能用ones代替。
(8)	本题中的clean有很大的干扰作用，一些考生只考虑空白后的at least six windows，作出了错误选择。这里的意思不是他头一个星期就擦了至少六扇窗户，而是他头一个星期就打破了至少六扇窗户，因而被辞退。
(9)	下文“a passenger stole his bag with all the fare collected”说明他成为一名公共汽车售票员。而不是跟随(followed)、遇到(met)或找到(found)一名公共汽车售票员。
(10)	当售票员的第二天，收款包就被偷了。
(11)	John连续失去了两份工作，“甚至”连邮递员这样的工作也丢了。even用于表示事态进一步向坏的方面发展。thus “因而”，once“曾经”，only “唯一的”。
(12)	送错信与失去工作是因果关系，所以应用because。原因是他把本该送到人们家里的信都寄出去了。sent off “寄出”。should have taken them to people's houses本“该送到人们家里，而没有送”。
(13)	作者举了三个例子来说明Ella Fant的儿子一事无成，下文又说他只好去参军，这说明似乎没有适合他干的工作。所以要填no。
(14)	什么工作都干不成，因此他“决定”参军。
(15)	Fant把儿子参军的消息告诉所有的邻居，可见她对此很激动。anxious“着急”；curious “好奇”。 　　A man is known by his friends．什么人交什么朋友。
(16)	她认为儿子会成为未曾有过的最好士兵。注意区别never和ever的用法：I've never seen such a good film．我从来没有看过这么好的电影。This is the best film I‘ve ever seen．这是我看过的电影中最好的一部。
(17)	这是一个定语从句，修饰先行词day，要用when引导。
(18)	根据in the crowd可以确定答案，在人群中只能是占一个好位置。Fant一大早就来到城里，以确保能在人群中占一个好位置。
(19)	在队伍中行进接受检阅的应是John和他的战友。
(20)	当John和他的战友们出现时，街道两旁观看的一些人看到队列中一个人(John)不能和别的战士保持步调一致时，禁不住大笑起来。can't help doing sth．是固定搭配
