It was an early blow to my selfconfidence. I was attending my first group meeting in the lab as a postdoc, and I was pleased that I could follow most of the discussion. Then, in front of everyone, the professor turned to me and asked about my previous accomplishments. I froze. As a PhD student, I had achieved lots to be proud of. But all of those were in my home country of Brazil. Now I was in Washington. DC and I didn't know what the word “accomplishment” meant. So all I could say was “I don't know”.
...
What does the underlined word “It” in Paragraph 1 refer to?
A.I didn't give a proper response in a lab meeting.
B.The paper I intended to publish did not materialize.
C.I was asked to speak more slowly because of my accent.
D.I reminded myself that I had potential.
①锁定内容:“It was an early blow to my selfconfidence.”。
②明确句意:这是早期对我自信心的一次打击。
③分析文本:根据第一段中的“I was attending my first group meeting in the lab as a postdoc ... I froze.”以及“So all I could say was ‘I don't know.’”可知,作者作为博士后参加了实验室的第一次小组会议,教授问她以前的成就,她愣住了,没有给出合适的回答。这件事让她的自信心受到了打击。故选A。

...
What do the underlined words “get up to mischief” mean in paragraph 3?
A.Behave badly. B.Lose their way.
C.Sleep soundly. D.Miss their mom.
