試題分析：這篇短文給我們講述的是人們從事的各種各樣的工作。有些人的工作是非常有趣的，也能賺很多錢，有些人的工作比較困難，他們需要花費很長時間學習；還有些人的工作很有趣而且報酬也很好。根據(jù)不同的工作類型，人們工作的時間也是不一樣的。

【1】根據(jù)短文的第一段Most people have jobs和文章的大意可知，這篇短文給我們介紹的是各種各樣的工作，因此這里應該填jobs。

【2】根據(jù)短文的開頭Most people have jobs. They go to work nearly every day可知，大多數(shù)人有工作，他們幾乎每天都上班。由此可知這里填work，是動詞。

【3】根據(jù)短文的第一段中Some people are lucky. They have very interesting jobs and they make a lot of money.可知，有些人很幸運，他們的工作非常有趣，而且也能賺很多錢。Interesting有趣的，是一個形容詞。

【4】根據(jù)短文第二段中The most interesting jobs are often the most difficult. People take a long time to learn how to do them.可知，有些有趣的工作非常困難，人們通常要花費很多時間來學習做這個工作。difficult困難的嗎，形容詞。

【5】over超過，比……多。根據(jù)短文第二段中Most airline pilots are more than 30 years old.可知，大多數(shù)飛行員都在30歲以上。這里的more than和over是同義詞。

【6】aircraft指的是飛機，或者其他可以飛的工具。根據(jù)短文第二段中作者給出的例子可知，飛行員的工作是非常困難的，他們要花費很多時間來學習，先開小的飛機，然后再開大的飛行器。

【7】根據(jù)短文第三段中Many successful athletes are young. Football and tennis stars are usually under 35. Older people usually cannot play these sports very well. They cannot move fast enough.可推斷出，一些年輕的網(wǎng)球運動員很成功，是因為他們移動比較快。故填fast。

【8】根據(jù)短文第三段中Golf, however, is a good sport for older people. Many successful golfers are quite old可知，高爾夫球這項運動適合老一點的人，因為它不需要快速的運動。故填old。

【9】根據(jù)短文第四段中Most people work until(直到) they are 60 or 65 years old. Then they retire and have a lot of free time.可知，大多數(shù)人要工作到60歲或者65歲，然后他們就退休，有了更多的自由時間。retire的意思是退休，也就是停止工作。故填working，這里是句型stop doing sth.。

【10】根據(jù)短文第三段的內(nèi)容可知，這一段中作者給我們舉的例子都是一些從事運動的人，包括年輕人，也有老人。football, tennis, golf等都是一些運動，因此athlete是運動員的意思。
