James sat outside the office waiting for the interview. He felt so 1 that he didn’t know what to do with himself. The 2 who had gone in before him had been there for nearly an hour. And she looked so sure when she went in. Not like James. He felt sure that she had already got the job. The problem was that he wanted this job so much. It meant 3 to him. He had thought about it such a lot before the day of the interview. He had imagined himself performing 4 at the interview and he would be offered the job immediately.
But now here he was feeling 5 . He couldn’t remember all those things he had 6 to say. At that moment, he almost decided to get up and leave. But no—he had to do this. He had spent so much time considering it that he couldn’t 7 like that. His hands were hot and his mouth felt dry.
At last the door of the office opened. The woman who had gone in an hour earlier came out, looking very pleased with herself. She smiled sympathetically (同情) at James. At that moment James hated her. The manager then appeared at the office door. “Would you like to come in now, Mr. Davis I’m sorry to have kept you waiting.”
James suddenly wished that he had gone home after all. He got up, 8 shaking and forehead sweating, and wondered whether he looked as frightened as he felt.
“Be a man! Unless you admit that you are a loser.” James said to himself. As the interviewed went on, James was as cool as a cucumber (黄瓜),and what he just focused on are the manager’s questions. A week later, he received the 9 . With the joy in his heart, his primary school class teacher’s words echoed in his ears, “Nothing is 10 if you put your heart in it. Do remember! Just try your best! My dear girls and boys!”

四、阅读理解
Give yourself a test. Which way is the wind blowing How many kinds of wildflowers can be seen from your front door If your awareness is as sharp as it could be, you’ll have no trouble answering these questions.
Most of us observed much more as children than we do as adults. A child’s day is filled with fascination, newness and wonder. Curiosity gave us all a natural awareness. But distinctions that were sharp to us as children become unclear; we are numb (麻木的) to new stimulation (刺激), new ideas. Relearning the art of seeing the world around us is quite simple, although it takes practice and requires breaking some bad habits.
The first step in awakening senses is to stop predicting what we are going to see and feel before it occurs. This blocks awareness. One chilly night when I was hiking in the Rocky Mountains with some students, I mentioned that we were going to cross a mountain stream. The students began complaining about how cold it would be. We reached the stream, and they unwillingly walked ahead. They were almost knee-deep when they realized it was a hot spring. Later they all admitted they’d felt cold water at first.
Another block to awareness is the obsession (痴迷) many of us have with naming things. I saw bird watchers who spotted a bird, immediately looked it up in field guides, and said, a “ruby-crowned kinglet” and checked it off. They no longer paid attention to the bird and never learned what it was doing.
The pressures of “time” and “destination” are further blocks to awareness. I encountered many hikers who were headed to a distant camp-ground with just enough time to get there before dark. It seldom occurred to them to wander a bit, to take a moment to see what’s around them. I asked them what they’d seen. “Oh, a few birds,” they said. They seemed bent on their destinations.
Nature seems to unfold to people who watch and wait. Next time you take a walk, no matter where it is, take in all the sights, sounds and sensations. Wander in this frame of mind and you will open a new dimension to your life.
1. According to Paragraph 2, compared with adults, children are more ______.
A. anxious to do wonders
B. sensitive to others’ feelings
C. likely to develop unpleasant habits
D. eager to explore the world around them
2. What idea does the author convey in Paragraph 3
A. To avoid jumping to conclusions.
B. To stop complaining all the time.
C. To follow the teacher’s advice.
D. To admit mistakes honestly.
3. Why do the hikers take no notice of the surroundings during the journey
A. The natural beauty isn’t attractive to them.
B. They focus on arriving at the camp in time.
C. The forest in the dark is dangerous for them.
D. They are keen to see rare birds at the destination.
4. In the passage, the author intends to tell us we should ______.
A. fill our senses to feel the wonders of the world
B. get rid of some bad habits in our daily life
C. open our mind to new things and ideas
D. try our best to protect nature

We all dream about things that we would like to do and things we hope to achieve in the future. But are everybody’s dreams the same Here are some of the findings of a survey about hopes and dreams in which thousands of students across China took part.
What are the hopes of teenagers We received several different answers to the question: what would you like to do after you finish your education It seems that some students would like to start work as soon as they can., so that they can help offer their parents better lives. Other students hope to go on studying after they finish school and to go to university. Although money is important, many teenagers said they want to do jobs they like. According to the survey, the most popular choice of job is computer programming. What are the dreams of teenagers Teenagers have all kinds of dreams. Some are more realistic than others. For example, many students said they would like to be volunteers if Beijing could hold the World Cup, maybe working as translators or tour guides. And quite a few said they dream of having a trip to every corner of the world one day.
According to the survey, less realistic dreams are also common, but many students reported that they were willing to work hard to achieve dreams. Quite a few dreamed of becoming famous, perhaps famous sports people or singers. Some students said they would like to go on exciting trips. One student said she would love to sail across the Pacific Ocean. And then there are dreams that are impossible. Three students said they would like to be able to fly!
Conclusion: It was clear from the survey that teenagers have similar hopes. It seems that most students hope to have a good education and find a good job.
