But after graduation, I got married and gave up playing basketball. Then I started eating too much. In 10 years, my weight increased from 175 to 245 pounds. What was even worse, my son picked up a bad eating habit. As a four-year-old boy, he liked having French fries because he often saw me put those things into my mouth. I read an article in my husband’s health magazine. It said that being too fat can shorten a person’s life by five to ten years. That was scary. I didn’t want to leave my son because of my poor eating habits. After that, every time I wanted to have French fries, I would think that I could be here a little bit longer if I just ate better. One of my friends told me that an organization was offering a free course to help people lose weight, so I decided to join it. The teacher gave each type of food a certain number of calories (卡路里), and how many calories we needed to eat a day. After I came home from the first class, I calculated (计算) the calories of food in my meal. If I wanted, I could have pizza every night. But when I learned that one piece had a lot of calories, I decided not to eat as many pieces as I wanted. Finally, I succeeded in losing 50 pounds. In February, 2012, I was on the cover of a health magazine. And my husband always told other people that I looked better than ever. 31．The writer played basketball from the 5th grade right through college, but she was _______. A．thin B．fat C．weak D．strong 32．How many pounds in weight did the writer increase in 10 years? A．50 pounds. B．70 pounds. C．120 pounds.

A．help women give birth to babies B．shorten a person’s life by years C．help people live a little bit longer D．be fit for playing some sports 35．The teacher of the free course told the students ______. A．to do sports every day B．to give up eating pizza C．how many calories of food they needed a day D．the types of food they could eat to lose weight B  “Everything happens for the best,” my mother said whenever I was disappointed. “If you go on, one day something good will happen.” When I graduated from college, I decided to try for a job in a radio station and then work hard to become a sports announcer (广播员).       I took a taxi to Chicago and knocked on the door of every station, but I was turned down every time because I didn’t have any working experience. Then, I went back home.      My father said Montgomery Ward wanted a sports-man to help them. I applied (申请), but I didn’t get the job, either. I was very disappointed.“Everything happens for the best,” Mom reminded me. Dad let me drive his car to look for jobs. I tried WOC Radio in Davenport, Iowa. The program director, Peter MacArthur, told me they had already had an announcer. His words made me disappointed again. After leaving his office, I was waiting for the elevator when I heard MacArthur calling after me, “What did you say about sports? Do you know anything about football?” Then he asked me to broadcast an imaginary (虚构的) game. I did so and Peter told me that I would be broadcasting Saturday’s game!      On my way home, I thought of my mother’s words again: “If you go on, one day something good will happen.” 36．What kind of job did the writer want to get after he graduated from college? A．A programmer. B．A sports announcer. C．A sportsman. D．A taxi driver. 37．Why couldn’t the writer get a job at first? A．Because he didn’t want to get it. B．Because he didn’t have any experience.

C．He was given a chance by Peter. D．His father also gave him some help. C I used to hate my mother because she worked a lot and didn’t spend much time with me. Then one Friday morning I took part in a three-day self-help program for teenagers. Whether you believe it or not, that weekend changed my life. About 100 other teenagers were there. During the first two days I met a lot of great people. I was glad because I made so many friends there. On Sunday, the leader did an interesting exercise called “Chocolate or Toys”. He asked a girl which she liked better, chocolate or toys. She chose chocolate. Then he asked her to choose again between chocolate and chocolate. Of course, she didn’t have a choice. This exercise told us that sometimes we don’t have a choice in life, and that sometimes we have to accept something, rather than complaining (抱怨). A girl stood up and started talking about her mom who was a drug addict and how much she hated her mother. “I want a new mom,” she cried. “Unfortunately, you can’t have one,” the leader replied. “You have to accept the mother that you have.” This hit me hard. I realized that, for better or worse, my mom was my mom. I couldn’t choose another mom, but I could try to make the best of the situation. 41．The self-help program for teenagers lasted ________. A．a week B．two days C．three days D．only one day 42．The writer used to hate his mother because ________.

A．Choices can be made as we like. B．Everyone should take part in a self-help program. C．Chocolate can influence one’s attitude toward things. D．We should try to accept things instead of complaining about them.

But after graduation, I got married and gave up playing basketball. Then I started eating too much. In 10 years, my weight increased from 175 to 245 pounds. What was even worse, my son picked up a bad eating habit. As a four-year-old boy, he liked having French fries because he often saw me put those things into my mouth. I read an article in my husband’s health magazine. It said that being too fat can shorten a person’s life by five to ten years. That was scary. I didn’t want to leave my son because of my poor eating habits. After that, every time I wanted to have French fries, I would think that I could be here a little bit longer if I just ate better. One of my friends told me that an organization was offering a free course to help people lose weight, so I decided to join it. The teacher gave each type of food a certain number of calories (卡路里), and how many calories we needed to eat a day. After I came home from the first class, I calculated (计算) the calories of food in my meal. If I wanted, I could have pizza every night. But when I learned that one piece had a lot of calories, I decided not to eat as many pieces as I wanted. Finally, I succeeded in losing 50 pounds. In February, 2012, I was on the cover of a health magazine. And my husband always told other people that I looked better than ever. 31．The writer played basketball from the 5th grade right through college, but she was _______.

Then, I went back home.      My father said Montgomery Ward wanted a sports-man to help them. I applied (申请), but I didn’t get the job, either. I was very disappointed.“Everything happens for the best,” Mom reminded me. Dad let me drive his car to look for jobs. I tried WOC Radio in Davenport, Iowa. The program director, Peter MacArthur, told me they had already had an announcer. His words made me disappointed again. After leaving his office, I was waiting for the elevator when I heard MacArthur calling after me, “What did you say about sports? Do you know anything about football?” Then he asked me to broadcast an imaginary (虚构的) game. I did so and Peter told me that I would be broadcasting Saturday’s game!      On my way home, I thought of my mother’s words again: “If you go on, one day something good will happen.” 36．What kind of job did the writer want to get after he graduated from college? A．A programmer. B．A sports announcer. C．A sportsman. D．A taxi driver. 37．Why couldn’t the writer get a job at first? A．Because he didn’t want to get it. B．Because he didn’t have any experience.

C．He was given a chance by Peter. D．His father also gave him some help. 【答案】36．B 37．B 38．C 39．C 40．A 【导语】本文通过“我”求职经历验证妈妈的话：Everything happens for the best。大学刚毕业的“我”满以为会在Chicago能找到一份体育播音员的工作，但处处碰壁，正当“我”因处处碰壁而大声发泄，“就连一份电台工作都找不到又怎么会当体育播音员呢？”正因为这次发泄结果被一电台主任听到并因“我”擅长体育而雇“我”做解说员。 36．细节理解题。根据短文第一段“When I graduated from college, I decided to try for a job in a radio station and then work hard to become a sports announcer”可知作者毕业后想找一份体育播音员的工作。故选B。 37．细节理解题。根据第二段“I was turned down every time because I didn’t have any working experience”可知，因为作者没有工作经验。故选B。 38．细节理解题。联系上下文可知，每一次作者找工作碰壁，妈妈都会说“Everything happens for the best”来鼓励作者。故选C。 39．词义猜测题。根据下文“because I didn’t have any working experience.

I applied (申请), but I didn’t get the job, either. I was very disappointed.”可知，作者是喜欢在Montgomery Ward的工作的。故选A。 C    I used to hate my mother because she worked a lot and didn’t spend much time with me. Then one Friday morning I took part in a three-day self-help program for teenagers. Whether you believe it or not, that weekend changed my life. About 100 other teenagers were there. During the first two days I met a lot of great people. I was glad because I made so many friends there. On Sunday, the leader did an interesting exercise called “Chocolate or Toys”. He asked a girl which she liked better, chocolate or toys. She chose chocolate. Then he asked her to choose again between chocolate and chocolate. Of course, she didn’t have a choice. This exercise told us that sometimes we don’t have a choice in life, and that sometimes we have to accept something, rather than complaining (抱怨). A girl stood up and started talking about her mom who was a drug addict and how much she hated her mother. “I want a new mom,” she cried. “Unfortunately, you can’t have one,” the leader replied. “You have to accept the mother that you have.” This hit me hard. I realized that, for better or worse, my mom was my mom. I couldn’t choose another mom, but I could try to make the best of the situation. 41．The self-help program for teenagers lasted ________. A．a week B．two days C．three days D．only one day 42．The writer used to hate his mother because ________.
