Question

I have been applying, interviewing, etc. since July with no prospects (前景).I have been told mostly that I am overqualified, or they need fulltime, etc. I have been getting pretty down and discouraged. I was actually ask?ing myself why someone can't be kind enough to take me on as an 5 

This past Tuesday evening it was 6 outside and going to be 9 pm as I was waiting at a bus stop. Just as the bus 7 a young woman approached me. She had a T-shirt, capri pants, and slippers on. She also was wearing several hospital bracelets.

I 8  my purse and took out $ 5. 00 so she could get something to eat.  I then took off my jacket and 9    and gave them to her. I said, "These are a little

big but they should keep 10 warm. She looked at me and said,"Aren't you going to be cold?"I told her my being cold for 15 minutes 11 I got to my place was worth it if I knew she would be a little warmer. She sobbed and thanked me with a hug. I just told her to 12 .

Then I got on the bus―that's 13 the miracle of spreading  14 happened. I stepped up to pay the 15 and the bus driver said, "Madam, I saw what you just did and your fare is 16 me, even though technically we aren't supposed to let you get on the bus without shoes. He said with a wink.

A lady who was dressed in a very  17 business suit called me over to her seat.  She said, "I want to know the  18 of the person who just did the most 19   thing I have ever seen.  I told her my name and she said, "What can I do for you to   20   what I just witnessed?" I  21   said a paying job would be nice. The next day she called me and said that she had a 22  administrative assistant position     23     in her company and wanted me to meet with the manager. It 24    that the lady was the head of Human Resources. I start Monday morning at 9 am! Thank you all for inspiring me to keep passing the kindness on! I never expected to get so much back in return!

C engineer工程師；entertainer表演者，演藝人員，款待者； employee職員；employer雇主。從上文的"I have been told mostly that I am overqualified, or they need fulltime, etc."可知，作者在自問為什么沒有人好心雇傭她做員工。故選C。

D burning hot炎熱的；pouring瓢波大雨的；snowing下雪的；freezing cold極冷的。從下文的句子"I said, 'These are a little big but they should keep- warm."'可知，天氣是非常寒冷的。故選擇D項。

D glove手套；sweater毛衣；blouse襯衫；tennis shoes網(wǎng)球鞋。從下文的"…even though technically we aren't supposed to let you get on the bus without shoes.，，可知作者將夾克和鞋子都給了這位女士。故選D。

C her她；him他；you你；me我。語境：這有點大，但是可以幫助你保暖。you指代the young woman，故選C。

B until直到；before在 前面；after在 后面；since自從。在"我"到達(dá)住處前的15分鐘的冷是值得的，如果"我"知道她暖和些了。故選B。

A pass it on傳遞；go ahead請便；cheer up振作起來i come on加油。"我"讓她要把這種善舉傳遞下去。故選A。

B luck幸運；kindness 善良 ； generosity慷慨，大方；mercy 仁慈。作者對女士做的善舉在公共汽車上進(jìn)行傳播。選B。
