试题分析：本文讲述了作者通过自己的儿子在求职过程中多说了一句“谢谢”而获得了一份难得的工作，阐述了一个道理：一声谢谢能体现出自己的心胸，自己也可以有意想不到的收获！
小题1:考查词组。 Due to 由于； As to至于，关于； By way of 经由，当作；Thanks to由于，幸亏。句意是：由于经济危机的原因。Thanks to有庆幸的意思，和句意不符，故选A。
小题2:考查动词。 Promote促进； train训练 ；Discover发现；employ雇佣。句意是：由于受金融危机的影响，很少有公司愿意聘用新员工。故选D。
小题3:考查动词。 Encouraged鼓励；allowed 允许；intended打算，准备；supposed假定。句意是：我儿子看中一家公司，这家公司只打算雇佣一人。Br intended to do 表示“打算做...”，be supposed to do 表示“应该做...”，故C符合语境，故选C。
小题4:考查连词。Since自...以来；while然而；because因为；if假如。只录用一人和二十多人提交简历形成对比，故选B。
小题5:考查动词。Decide决定；attract 吸引；meet遇见；represent代表，表现。Which引导的定语从句修饰的是the final round，最后一轮面试应是决定录用谁，故选A。
小题6:考查副词。 slowly 缓慢地；secretly秘密地；smoothly顺利地；silently默默地。根据and后的作者的儿子通过了第一轮面试，进入最终的面试可知一切进行的似乎很顺利。故选C。
小题7:考查形容词。Other其他的，另外的；another又一，另一；others其他人；either两者之中任一的。由上一段可知，第一轮面试过后只有三个人能参加最终的面试，而作者的儿子是其中一人，此处是说另外两名求职应征者。故选A。
小题8:考查词组。watching over看守；waiting for 等待；thinking about 考虑；looking into调查。根据arrived at the interview place on time，可知求职应征者们准时到达面试地点等待测试。故选B。
小题9:考查形容词。formal 正式的；funny  好笑的；simple简单的；strange奇怪的。有下文可知，最后一轮面试并没有实质的内容，只是告诉求职应征者们回家等待，因此此轮面试不可思议地简单。故选C。
小题10:考查名词。 Advertisement广告；order 命令；notice通知；suggestion建议。根据go home和we will tell you 可知他们被告知回家等候通知，故选C。
小题11:考查名词。 Choice选择；result结果；mark标记；idea主意。有上下文可知，第三天早上作者的儿子受到了没有被录用的消息，所以此处指的是最终的结果，故选B。
小题12:考查形容词。annoyed 恼怒的；puzzled困惑的；shocked震惊的；disappointed失望的。由上下文可知，作者的儿子顺利通过了第一轮面试，却没有通过最终的面试，全家人都很失望。故选D。
小题13:考查副词。Doubtfully怀疑地；calmly冷静地；excitedly兴奋地；worriedly担忧地。由下文可知，作者的儿子被雇用了，他一定是兴奋地打电话告诉作者，故选C。
小题14:考查名词。 Opinion意见；matter事件；attitude 态度；tip小费。由Greatly surprised, I could not wait to ask him可知作者非常纳闷，急于想知道这到底是怎么回事。故选B。
小题15:考查名词。middle 中间；ending 结局；course过程；part部分。由下文可知，发给作者儿子的短信也是面试的一部分。故选D。
小题16:考查名词。 reply 回复； way方法，道路；problem难题；question问题。“Thank you ”和“Goodbye”分别是求职应征者的答复。故选A。
小题17:考查动词。 Came来； grew 成长；changed改变；advised建议。由上文可知，作者的儿子向主持面试者回复短信，表示感谢，没想到通过了最后的一轮面试。作者终于明白儿子为什么又得到了这份工作。故选A。
小题18:考查动词。Expect期待； regret感到后悔；dislike不喜欢；forget忘记。句意是：在你失望的时候，别忘了向让你失望的人说声谢谢。故选D。
小题19: 考查名词。Curiosity好奇；unselfishness不自私；honor荣誉；humor幽默。结合上文，作者的儿子收到没有被录取的通知后，依然表达了对主持面试者的谢意，充分展示了自己的心情。故选B。:学
小题20:考查名词。 Abilities能力；opportunities机会；faults故障；shortcomings毛病。结合本文语境，作者阐述了一个道理：在同样的条件下，（因为你不吝说“谢谢”）机会的天平就会项你这边倾斜。
举一反三
Each time I see a balloon, my mind flies back to a memory of when I was a six-year-old girl. It was a rainy Sunday and my father had recently died. I asked my mom if Dad had gone to heaven. “Yes, honey. Of course.” she said.
“Can we write him a letter?”
 She paused, the longest pause of my short life, and answered, “Yes.”
My heart jumped. “How? Does the mailman go there?” I asked.
“No, but I have an idea.” Mom drove to a party store and returned with a red balloon. I asked her what it was for.
“Just wait, honey. You’ll see.” Mom told me to write my letter. Eagerly, I got my favorite pen, and poured out my six-year-old heart in the form of blue ink. I wrote about my day, what I learned at school, how Mom was doing, and even about what happened in a story I had read. For a few minutes it was as if Dad were still alive. I gave the letter to Mom. She read it over, and a smile crossed her face.
She made a hole in the corner of the letter where she looped (缠绕) the balloon string. We went outside and she gave me the balloon. It was still raining.
“Okay, on the count of three, let go. One, two, three.”
The balloon, carrying my letter, darted upward against the rain. We watched until it was swallowed by the mass of clouds.
Later I realized, like the balloon, that Dad had never let his sickness get him down. He was strong. No matter what he suffered, he’d persevere, dart up, and finally transcend this cold world and his sick body. He rose into sky and became something beautiful. I watched until the balloon disappeared into the gray and white and I prayed that his strength was hereditary. I prayed to be a balloon.

On a Friday night, a poor young artist stood at the gate of a New York subway station, playing his violin. Many of passers-by slowed down their paces and put some money into the hat of the young man.
　　The next day, at the same place, he put his hat on the ground gracefully. Different than the day before, he took out a large piece of paper and laid it on the ground and put some stones on it. Then he adjusted the violin and began playing. It seemed more pleasant to listen to.
　The words read, “Last night, a gentleman named George Sang put an important thing into my hat mistakenly. Please come to claim it soon.”
　　Seeing this, people wondered what it could be. After about half an hour, a middle-aged man ran there hurriedly and rushed through the crowd to the violinist and grabbed his shoulders and said, “Yes, it’s you. You did come here. I knew that you’re an honest man and would certainly come here.”
　　“Are you Mr. George Sang”? asked the young violinist.
The man nodded.   “Did you lose something?”　“Lottery. It’s lottery.” “Is it?” The violinist took out a lottery ticket and asked.
　　George nodded promptly and seized the lottery ticket and kissed it, then he danced with the violinist.
　　The story turned out to be this: George Sang bought a lottery ticket, winning a prize of $500,000. After work, he passed the station and felt the music was so wonderful that he took out 50 dollars and put it in the hat. However, the lottery ticket was also thrown in. The violinist was a student at an Arts College and had planned to attend further study in Vienna. He had booked the ticket and would fly that morning. However when he was cleaning up he found the lottery ticket. Thinking that the owner would return to look for it, he cancelled the flight and came back to where he was given the lottery ticket.
When asked why he didn’t take the lottery ticket for himself, the violinist said, “Although I don’t have much money, I live happily; but if I lose honesty I won’t be happy forever.”

小题3:By telling the story, the writer intends to tell us that__________.
A．getting rich overnight is important
B．showing sympathy for others is important

I have a friend who had a stammer (口吃) in his childhood, but he dreamed of becoming a missionary(传教士). When he told his own desire to his friends and relatives, some of them laughed at him, and some even held down his enthusiasm      .
"I must change it." said the boy angrily, “I believe I can speak very    , I will do!"
When it was possible, he would spend an hour     to chickens. He viewed the chickens as living persons,     himself to be the person in the speech.
"In the beginning, the chickens looked so        , then they watched me curiously, putting down the food in the mouths and listening to my words. It seemed as if they had been        by my powerful and effective language. Sometimes they seemed to be listening to me       . Gradually, the effect of this practice became more and more   and I had a better understanding of the exact      of my stammer, so I found the ability to speak more."
"You may not know that my father was always tyrannical(专横的). He        believed in the old saying: "Young man should be more knowledgeable, but should not      much." During the whole childhood,   I spoke or commented, he criticized me seriously, which    my shy personality. I used to worry about being  at, so I became a stammerer. From then on, I kept     in front of everyone because they didn"t want to see my embarrassment. But later I found myself talking in front of chickens, stammers disappeared      , therefore I regained my   ."
Now, the previous boy is the best at speaking and one of the most   missionaries. You can hardly imagine he used to have a serious language    . So when you come across disadvantages, you should believe you can     them by yourself.

Fannie Cratty wasn’t really my aunt. I only referred to her as “My Aunt Fannie” because the name always made my father laugh and gave my mother cause to look angrily at both of us---at me for being disrespectful of my elder and at my father for encouraging my bad behavior.
As a young woman, my mother had worked in the kitchen of a large Victorian farmhouse owned by Fannie Cratty. During those years my mother helped Aunt Fannie make the best blueberry jam ever tasted by anyone in Glenfield. Aunt Fannie was well known for her jam and for never sharing the recipe with another living soul. Even though my mother knew the recipe by heart, as long as Aunt Fannie was alive (and she lived to be ninety-six!), she never made the jam without Ms. Cratty in our kitchen to direct the process and preserve the secret. 
Each August, when blueberry season would roll around, my mother would prepare me for Aunt Fannie’s visit. It was vital that I should be on my best behavior. After all, the woman was old, wealthy, very strict with children. Whenever she was at the house, I didn’t need to be reminded to guard my thoughts and watch my tongue. 
One year, after I had been particularly helpful with the jam process, Aunt Fannie gave me a quarter(25分硬币) and then made me promise that I would never spend it. “Hold onto this quarter,” she said, “and someday you will be rich. I still have my very first quarter, given to me by my grandfather.” It had obviously worked for her. So, I kept the 1938-quarter into a small box, put it in my dresser drawer, and waited to become rich. 
I now have the blueberry jam recipe and the quarter from Aunt Fannie. In people’s eye Aunt Fannie’s success was due to that secret recipe. But to me, it was just a common recipe. Neither has significantly contributed to my wealth, but I keep them as reminders to hold onto the valuable things in life. Money can make you feel rich for a while, but it is the relationships and the memories of time spent with friends and family that truly leave you wealthy. And that is a fortune that anyone can build.
小题1:Paragraph 2 implies that my mother    .
A．used to forget the secret blueberry jam recipe
B．wanted to show off her excellent cooking skills
C．was unable to make the jam without Aunt Fannie’s direction
D．tried to convince Aunt Fannie that she would keep the secret
小题2:According to Paragraph 4, the author believed that Aunt Fanni was rich because    .
A．she had kept her first quarter
B．she had never wasted money
C．she had worked very hard
D．she had kept her promise
小题3:The author thinks that we can feel wealthy if we    .
A．share our wealth with others
B．have good fortune and money
C．know the secret of a jam recipe
D．own lasting love and friendship
小题4:Which would be the best title for this passage？
A．An old quarterB．Valuable Things
C．Blueberry Jam RecipeD．Memories of old time
