【解题导语】文中讲述“我”尽管有丰富的工作经验和硕士学位，但在找工作的过程中屡遭挫折。一个小女孩交给“我”一个刻有“开心快乐”的黑耳环，“我”无意间意识到我的错误所在，“我”改变了思维方式，积极地面对生活。经过不懈努力，“我”终于找到了一份待遇不错的工作。本文告诫人们不要总是只看到生活中不好的一面，而要多看到其阳光的一面。
1．B 由下文的“我找不到工作”以及“我有丰富的经验和硕士学位”可知，此处表示转折。故B项though正确。
2．C 由上文“我有丰富的经验和硕士学位”以及下文“我不断面试找工作”，可知是找不到满意的工作。satisfying“令人满意的”，符合语境。
3．A 由第三段首句“当我把车开到路边……”可知，“我”是驾驶校车而不是乘坐校车。
4．D 由“因为我已经失去我的公寓”可知，“我”当时正在和朋友一起“住”，所以选living。
5．B 该句句意是“我已参加了一个公司的五次面试”。attend five interviews“参加了五次面试”。
6．D 结合上下文，上文“我参加了(一个公司的)五次面试”，而下文是“我痛苦地思考”，可以推断出“他们打电话告诉我，我没得到这份工作”，故选get。
7．A 由“他们打电话告诉我，我没得到这份工作”和“我痛苦地思考”可知，“我”感觉生活是“艰难的”，所以选hard。
8．B 由“当我把车开到路边”可知，此处是让乘客上(下)车。drop off “让……下车”，根据句意可知B项正确。
9．C 此处考查现在分词作伴随状语的用法。由语境“她交给我一只耳环， 我应该……”，推断此处用say，“说”。
10．A 此处考查连词的用法辨析。由语境“她交给我一只耳环，(说)我应该保存着它，万一有人来认领”可知，选in case，意为“以防万一，以防”。
11．B 此处考查动词辨析。由前句“开始我很生气”和后文思想观点的转变可知，空格处是指“突然影响到，突然使……”，hit除有“敲打，打击”之意，还有“对某人或某物产生意外的影响”之意。
12．B give/pay attention to “注意”，符合语境。
13．D 结合前面内容及本句可知，作者一直把注意力放在“生活”中坏的一面上，因此D项正确。
