I took the bus to Chicago and knocked on the door of every station. But I was refused every time. In one studio, a nice lady told me that big stations didnt want to accept inexperienced persons. “Go to the countryside and find a small station thatll give you a chance,” she said.I returned home, Dixon in Illinois. While there were no radio-announcing jobs in Dixon, my father said Smith Ward had opened a store and wanted a local sportsman to manage its sports department. Since I had played high school football in Dixon, I applied(申请). The job sounded just right for me. But I still failed in the interview. At that moment, moms words came to my mind: “Everything happens for the best.” Dad offered me a car to look for a job. I tried WOC Radio in Davenport in Iowa. The program director, named Peter MacArthur, told me they had already hired an announcer.As I left his office, I felt sad. I asked aloud, “How can a man become a sports announcer if he cant get a job in a radio station?”I was waiting for the lift when I heard MacArthur calling, “What did you say about sports? Do you know anything about football?” Then he made me stand before a microphone and asked me to broadcast an imaginary game.

Many experts use it to tell people its important to have a good eating habit. For example, too much sweet food makes a person overweight. To avoid being fat, kids are told to keep off sweet food. However, a team of American scientists have discovered something new about eating sweet food.“When we say some people sweet, we mean they are kind and friendly to us. Perhaps his word can help us learn more about peoples feelings and acts.” said Brain Meier, a scientist from the study team. “Taste is something we experience every day. What we have done is to find whether we can know someones character and behavior depending on their taste.”In one of their experiments, college students were asked questions about their character-whether, for example, they were soft-hearted or not. Then they were asked to make a list of their favorite food. According to their answers, the scientists found that the students who liked sweet food were nicer.In their another experiment, the scientists found that people who preferred sweet food such as cookies and chocolate were more willing to help other people in need, and those who ate nonsweet food such as chips werent. For example, people with a sweet tooth were more likely to volunteer to clean up their city, visit sick children in the hospital and so on.The result of experiments is that peoples helpfulness or being nice has something to do with their taste for sweet food. So eating sweet food is a useful way to make people nice and helpful. Next time, try some ice-cream.（1）The underlined word “it” refers to(指代) _.A . the sweet foodB . the eating habitC . the American teamD . the English saying（2）According to the result of the experiments, sweet food makes people _.A . overweightB . excitedC . relaxedD . friendly（3）The scientists found that the people who preferred _ were less helpful.A . ice-creamB . chocolateC . chipsD . cookies（4）It can be learnt from the passage that _.A . scientists asked college students questions about their futureB . scientists told college students not to eat sweet foodC . people with a sweet tooth are more willing to help othersD . peoples character has nothing to do with their taste.二、 选择适当的句子, 填入文章中 (共1题；共5分)5. （5分）任务型阅读（左拦是五个人的体育爱好，右拦是七则体育俱乐部招揽会员的广告，请为每个人选择最合适的一项）_Han Mei likes volleyball very much.
