In one station, a kind lady told me that  24 stations wouldn"t employ a person without   25   since I had just graduated. "Go out in the town and find a small station that might give you a chance, "she said.
I returned to Dixon, where I had finished my high school education and had   26  in the school football team. My father said that our town had built a store and wanted a man to manage its sports department. The job sounded just  27  for me but I wasn"t hired.
My disappointment had 28 as if by design. "Everything happens for the best," Mum  29  me. Dad lent me his car to look for a job. I tried WOC Radio Davenport. The program director told me they had already hired an announcer.   30  I left his office, I asked aloud,"  31 can a fellow get to be a sports announcer if he can"t get a job in a radio station?" Suddenly, I heard the director  32 . "Do you know anything about football? " Then he asked me to  33  an imaginary game. It was easy, and I did it without difficulty. The director was  34 and told me I would be broadcasting a game on the   35    Saturday.

核心考点
试题【"Everything happens for the best, "my mother said whenever I faced disappointmen】;主要考察你对题材分类等知识点的理解。[详细]
举一反三
Researchers are placing robotic dogs(机器狗)in the homes of lonely old people to determine whether they can improve the quality of life for humans. Alan Beck,an expert in human animal relationship,and Nancy Edwards,a professor of nursing,are leading the animal assisted study concerning the influence of robotic dogs on old people’s depression,physical activity,and life satisfaction.“No one will argue that an older person is better off being more active,challenged,or stimulated(刺激),”Edwards points out.“The problem is how we promote(使……成为现实)that,especially for those without friends or help. A robotic dog could be a solution.”
In the study,the robot,called AIBO,is placed for six weeks in the houses of some old people who live alone. Before placing AIBO in the home,researchers will collect baseline data for six weeks. These old people will keep a diary to note their feelings and activities before and after AIBO. Then,the researchers will review the data to determine if it has inspired any changes in the life of its owner.
“I talk to him all the time,and he responds to my voice,”says a seventy year old lady.“When I’m watching TV,he’ll stay in my arms until he wants down. He has a mind of his own.”
The AIBOs respond to certain orders. The researchers say they have some advantages over live dogs,especially for old people.Often the elderly are disabled and cannot care for an animal by walking it or playing with it. A robotic dog removes exercises and feeding concerns.
“At the beginning,it was believed that no one would relate to the robotic dog,because it was metal and not furry.”Beck says.“But it’s amazing how quickly we have given up that belief.”
Hopefully,down the road,these robotic pets could become a more valuable health helper. They will record their masters’ blood pressure,oxygen levels,or heart rhythms. AIBOs may even one day have games that can help stimulate old people’s minds.
小题1:The purpose of Beck and Edwards’  study is to________.
A.understand human animal relationship
B.make lonely old people’s life better
C.find the causes of old people’s loneliness
D.promote the animal assisted research
小题2:In the research,the old people are asked to________.
A.note the activities of AIBOs
B.keep AIBOs at home for 12 weeks
C.record their feelings and activities
D.analyze the collected information
小题3:What is the advantage of AIBO over live dogs?
A.It is easier to keep at home.
B.It can help the disabled people.
C.It responds to all the human orders.
D.It can watch TV with its owner.
小题4:The author seems to suggest that the future robotic dogs may________.
A.cure certain diseases
B.keep old people active
C.change people’s beliefs
D.look more like real dogs
小题5:According to the passage,which of the following statements is TRUE?
A.The professors are leading the animal assisted study concerning old people’s life.
B.The AIBOs will always listen to their owners without their own minds.
C.The researchers will know from the data whether AIBO can help its owner.

There’s been a lot of talk about white-and-blue collar workers, and you may have even heard of gold collar workers, but lately a new color of collar is making its way into China’s urban vernacular(土话)—green. Green collars say no when work is life and life is work. They choose to get out of the fast lane(车道), and explore new ways of living “green”.
Living green doesn’t mean someone is working as an environmentalist, biologist or scientist. Instead it is more of a lifestyle choice. A typical green collar is well educated like a white-collar but physically tough like a blue-collar, likely born in the 70s or 80s of the last century and living in one of China’s big cities, with a monthly income well above 5,000 yuan (about US $700).
The life of a green collar may go something like this; Turn off the mobile phone after work, eat only healthy food rich in vitamins, go on hikes every weekend, and like to help the underprivileged. 
Green collars even have their own club. In Beijing, the Green Collar Club is for people who share a “be happy, healthy and helpful” spirit. The club often holds charity parties and uses the donations for environmental protection and poverty relief(摆脱贫困)projects in China.
“They are successful in their careers, but do not miss the pleasures in life. They have a lot of money, but do not fall slave to it.” said Zuo Shiguang, one of the founding members of the club.
小题1:What is the passage mainly about?
A.Differences between white-and-blue collars and green collars.
B.The increasing awareness of environmental protection.
C.New trends of life in China’s big cities.
D.The lifestyle of green collars.
小题2:Green collars will     after work.
A.prefer to be left alone
B.have fun with old friends
C.think nothing about work and more
D.do a lot of extra work at home
小题3:What ’s Zuo Shiguang’s attitude towards green collars?
A.Appreciative.B.Doubtful.C.Negative.D.Neutral.
小题4:The underlined part “the underprivileged” probably refers to those who are        .
A.in heavy polluted areas B.in faraway places
C.in a poor state of educationD.in unfavourable conditions
