阅读理解。     "Everything happens for the best," my mother said whenever things weren"t going my way. "Don"t worry,
one day your luck will change."
     Mother was right, as I discovered after I had finished my college education. I had decided to try for aq job
in radio. One day, I wanted to host (主持) a sports programme. I went to Chicago and knocked on the door
of every station. But I got turned down every time.
     In one station, a kind lady said my problem was that I hadn"t got enough experience." Get some work
with a small station and work your way up," she said.
     I went back home. I couldn"t get a job there, either. Then my dad told me a businessman had opened
a store and needed someone to help him. But again, I didn"t get the job.
     I felt really down. "Your luck will change," Mom said to me. Dad lent me the car to help me to look for
my job. I tried another radio station in Iowa. But the owner, a nice man, told me he had already had someone.
     As I left his office, I asked, "How can someone be a sports announcer (播音员) if he can"t get a job in a
radio station?"
     I was waiting for the lift when I heard the man call."What did you mean? Do you know anything about
football?" He put me in front of a microphone and asked me to try to imagine that I was giving my opinion
on a football game, I succeeded.
     On my way home, Mom"s words came back to me,"One day your luck will change, Son. And when it
happens, it"ll feel doubly (加倍的) good because of all the hard work you"ve had." At that moment I knew
what just what she meant. 1. What"s the writer"s ideal (理想的) job? A. A sportsman
B. A shop assistant
C. A sports announcer
D. A businessman 2. Why didn"t the writer get the job in Chicago? A. because he was too young
B. Because he didn"t get college education

D. Because he hadn"t got enough experience 3. The sentence "But I got turned down every time." Means "______" A. But I was refused every time
B. But I was successful every time
C. But I lost my way every time

阅读理解。     Someone says, "Time is money." But I think time is more important than money. Why? Because when
money is spent, we can get it back. However, when time is lost, it"ll never return. That is why we mustn"t
waste time. Even a second is very important. We should make full use of our time to do something useful.
     But it is a pity that many people don"t know the importance of time. They spend their limited time smoking,
drinking and playing cards. They don"t know that wasting time means wasting some of their own lives.
     In a word we should save time. We shouldn"t leave today"s work for tomorrow.
     Remember: We have no time to lose. 51. Why does the writer say we mustn"t waste time? A. Time is money.
B. Time is expensive.
C. Time never comes back when it"s gone. 2. Why is time limited? A. To everyone life is limited.
B. Money is limited.
C. Most people don"t know its importance. 3. How can we save time?A. Never smoke.
B. Never drink.
C. Finish work on time. 4. The writer feels _____ for the people playing cards always. A. sorry
B. angry
C. excited 5. What"s the main idea of the passage? A. Time is important.
B. Money is important.
C. Time is more important than money.
