Question

DEAR AMY: Last year I got a full-time job as a baby-sitter for a wonderful family with two amazing kids. They have come to treat me as one of their own. But my boyfriend and I are attempting to save much more money for the life we want to build, including marriage, a house and kids. Much as I love my “babies,” I’m looking forward to beginning a challenging career in a big company. Should I tell the family that I am looking for a new job? I don’t want to find one that requires me to begin work immediately, leaving them without child care, but I also don’t want them to assume that I’m leaving right away.              
Up-in-the-Air Au Pair
DEAR AU PAIR: Whatever your arrangement, it is reasonable for them to expect you to be honest and to keep them in the loop. They see that you are making changes in your life, and surely they will also understand your desire to advance in a career. Tell them frankly and they should be happy to employ you as long as you are available.
Amy
DEAR AMY: I am a freshman in a high school. Last summer my best friend was diagnosed with skin cancer. It isn’t very serious, but she seems to be becoming more and more depressed. How can I help her be happy again?
Best Friend
DEAR FRIEND: Your best role is to prop up and encourage your friend when she seems down, and to be supportive and kind to her. You're doing a great job with that, and your friend is lucky to have you in her life.

試題分析：本文取材于報(bào)紙的生活解惑答疑欄目。文章屬于記敘文。文章講述了兩個(gè)求助者的問(wèn)題。
1.考查細(xì)節(jié)理解。根據(jù)文章第一段中的Much as I love my “babies,” I’m looking forward to beginning a challenging career in a big company. Should I tell the family that I am looking for a new job?可知，Au Pair是問(wèn)題是：她應(yīng)該不應(yīng)該告訴那個(gè)家庭她在找新的工作。所以A正確。
2.考查推測(cè)短語(yǔ)的含義。根據(jù)it is reasonable for them to expect you to be honest可知，他們期望你是誠(chéng)實(shí)的。又根據(jù)并列連詞and可知，前后內(nèi)容一致，她應(yīng)該讓那個(gè)家庭知道要發(fā)生的事情。所以選D。
3.考查推理判斷。根據(jù)文章內(nèi)容可知，這是生活答疑欄目，所以選C。Jobs找工作欄目； culture文化欄目； Entertainment娛樂(lè)欄目。這三項(xiàng)都不符合文意。
考點(diǎn)：考查記敘文的閱讀。
