　　【要點綜述】本文是一篇勵志記敘文，描述了父親常說“Try it！”及這句話對自己的影響。

　　1． B　根據whatever it might be可以排除C、D項。本句表達“在‘我’嘗試一些事情之前，(我)不會說不喜歡。”everything用詞不合適。

　　2．A　根據句意可知A項正確。

　　3．D　這么多年來，“我”開始意識到“我”的成就大多歸功于父親的話。

　　4．C　根據前文解釋可知，“我”的成功源自對父親那些話的“接受”。owe…to…把……歸功于……。

　　5．D　這里開始介紹作者的工作經歷，故應是第一份工作。

　　6．A　通過下文可以看出，作者在從事第一份工作時的態度只是想先試試看，但如果遇到熱衷的、想當成自己固定職業的工作時，還是會離開的。

　　7．A　這里作者在表明自己的態度。事實上，作者自認為自己會工作幾年之后就結婚，建立家庭……

　　8．D　根據前文可知，作者并沒有把第一份工作看得特別重要。matter vi.有關系，要緊。

　　9．B　根據下文可知，作者本不具有的一些生活技能居然在經歷各種嘗試后養成了，也就是說，作者開始的想法是錯誤的。“not ＋ 比較級” 表示肯定的意義。

　　10．C　move up “上升”，這里指工作上得到了提升。

　　11．D　position 指“職位，崗位”。下文也有提示。

　　12．A　with the thought帶著想法；認為，思考。“我”每一次得到一個新機會，總有那種想法：如果“我”不喜歡這個新的崗位，“我”可以回到原來的那個崗位。

　　13．C　根據前一空解釋可知C項正確。earlier早些時候的。

　　14．D　通過but可以看出作者態度發生了變化，在過去的28年中，作者一直待在同一個公司，并且每次的工作變化作者都很享受。

　　15．B　直到此時作者才發現其實自己擁有(possess)很多才能。

　　16．C　要不是作者愿意嘗試新的機會，就不會擁有這么多的才能。be open to 對……開放、開明。had it not been for…＝ if it had not been for…要不是……。

　　17．C　作者還發現，如果相信自己并且一直努力去做，就一定能夠達到目標。believe in相信，信任。

　　18．B　achieve one's goal達到目標，實現目標。

　　19．A　作者領悟到父親的話的真諦，因此對作為CareerFables.com的一員感到“興奮”。
