由于競爭激烈，作者一開始對于兒子應聘一家公司的工作并未抱太大的希望。結果兒子最后卻被錄用了。對此作者深有感觸，認為尊重別人的工作就會在同等條件下比別人獲得更多的機會。
16．A 根據下文“which would later decide the one to be employed”可知，公司計劃只雇用一個人。employ表示“雇用”；support表示“支持”；manage表示“管理，經營，能應付”；interview表示“面試，采訪”。
17．C 根據上下文語境可知，參與應聘的有20人，從中只錄取1人，作者認為兒子進入該公司的難度很大，于是提醒兒子。interrupt表示“打斷”；promise表示“答應，許諾”；remind表示“提醒，使想起”；follow表示“跟隨，聽懂”。“reminded”符合語境。
18．B 根據語境可知，此處指作者提醒兒子不要抱太大希望，以免沒被雇用后會失望。在四個選項中，“expect”表示“期望，預期，預料”，符合語境。
19．D 句意：兒子笑著說：“只要我盡力就有希望。”四個選項均可引導狀語從句，as if用來引導方式狀語從句；as soon as引導時間狀語從句；even if引導讓步狀語從句，as long as引導條件狀語從句。根據語境可知，空格處表示的是一種條件。
20．A 根據下文“entered the final”可知，在20名應聘人當中，只有3人能夠進入最后一輪。enter表示“進入”，故答案選A。
21．B 根據下文語境可知，兒子進入了最后一輪面試，由此推知，此處指一切似乎進展不錯。go有“進行”之意，符合語境。故答案選B。
22．A 作者的兒子通過了第一輪面試，進入到最后一輪。根據語境可知，空格處應該使用“passed”。
23．B 句意：出乎意料，最后一輪面試出奇地簡單，就是回家等待面試結果。四個選項均為形容詞，challenging表示“具有挑戰性的”；simple表示“簡單的，簡樸的”；perfect表示“完美的”；secret表示“秘密的”。B項符合語境。
24．D 根據語境可知，此處指的是回家等待最終的面試結果。result 意為“結果”，符合語境。
25．B 根據下文“The three men received the same text…”可知，應選received。
26．A 句意：在我還沒想出該說什么來安慰兒子時…… figure out表示“想出，理解”；take up表示“從事，拿起，占據”；set off表示“出發，動身”；work on表示“繼續工作”。由此可知，空格處應該使用“figured out”。
27．C 根據上文中的“a text”及“another”可知，空格處應該選“text”，表示又收到了一份通知。
28．B ridiculously表示“荒唐地”；actually表示“實際上”；cleverly表示“伶俐地，聰明地”；sadly表示“傷心地”。根據語境可知，實際上，第一份通知也是面試測試的一部分，B項符合文意。
29．A 根據下文“I asked my son…they replied.”可知，在參加最后一輪面試的三個人當中，只有作者兒子的答復令公司滿意。reply表示“回答，答復”，符合文意。
30．C 根據下文“My son told me that one…silent，one said‘goodbye’and he said‘thank you’．”可知此處指作者問兒子他們是如何答復公司的，故答案選C。
31．B keep silent為固定短語，意為“保持沉默”，符合語境。
32．A 只有那時，作者才知道兒子的希望是以這種方式獲得的。hope符合文意，并和上文“I try，there will be hope！”相呼應。
33．D 句意：不要忘記對即使是令你失望的那些人說聲謝謝。cheat表示“欺騙，作弊”；hate表示“憎恨，不喜歡”；dislike表示“不喜歡”；disappoint表示“使失望”。由此可知，disappoint符合文意。
34．C 句意：說聲謝謝能顯示你對別人工作的尊重。pity表示“憐憫，同情”；doubt表示“懷疑”；respect表示“尊敬，尊重”；desire表示“愿望”。C項符合文意。
35．A 作者認為，尊重別人的工作就會在同等條件下比別人有更多的機會。chance意為“機會”，符合文意。

NEW YORK (AP) — The investigation into the disappearance of 6-year-old Etan Patz has gone through decades and countries, from basements to rooftops and seemingly everywhere in between.
No one has ever been charged criminally — and the little boy with sandy brown hair and a toothy grin was declared dead in 2001.
This week, the six-year-old boy who went missing from the Soho area of New York City in 1979 is back in the news. Police and the FBI are investigating a possible lead into the 33-year-old case of Etan Patz, the first missing child to appear on the side of a milk box.
The child disappeared on the way to school on the morning of May 25, 1979. It was the first time he was allowed to walk the two blocks to the bus stop alone.
A tip seemed to have led officials to the basement of a building on the corner of Prince and Wooster streets, about a block and a half from where Etan had lived with his family.
The name Etan Patz has become a hot topic on Twitter as people weigh in on the case. Shirley Brady noted: “As mom to a 6 years old in Soho, it’s still held out by locals as cautionary tale (警示故事).” Another wrote, “Boy who disappeared on his way to school in 1979 has been REOPENED! Crazy.” One wondered, “Why is FBI and NYPD searching for a kid that disappeared in 1979?”
Good question. This is a case that Stuart Gra Bois, as an assistant U.S. lawyer under Rudolph Giuliani, followed for years. It became the most famous missing-person case in New York City, turned a nationwide spotlight on missing children, and created headlines around the globe. No one was ever stated guilty of the crime.
The case led to the creation of National Missing Children’s Day, marked on May 25, the day the blond-haired, blue-eyed child went missing.
The case has even pointed to a suspect, charged with child molester (猥褻者) Julio Antonio Ramos, who is currently in prison. Patz’s babysitter had been dating the man, and Ramos did know the kid, but has denied taking him away.
New evidence in the case suggests another suspect who lived in the apartment at the time: a local handyman named Othniel Miller, who gave Etan $1 for helping him the night before the disappearance.
The man’s name had come up in an earlier investigation, but he was a friend of the Patz family, and the NYPD did not follow the lead.
Investigators plan to be at the site, 127 B Prince St., which is now a Lucky Brand jeans store, for the next two to three days to search for human remains. The Associated Press reports that the excavation (挖掘) has been the result of a recently ordered review of the case by Manhattan’s police.
【小題1】We can learn from the first three paragraphs that ________.
| A．The 6-year-old missing boy was found by the side of a milk box |
| B．Police and the FBI have not been following the case of Etan Patz for 33 years |

| B．The search for human remains will be carried out at 127 B Prince Street. |
| C．The NYPD didn’t follow the lead of Julio Antonio for he had been dating Patz’ babysitter. |
| D．Othniel Miller, a local handyman assisted Etan and gave him $1 before the disappearance. |
