语篇解读：本文是一篇记叙文。讲述了Philip帮不会操作机器的老板把文件放入了碎纸机，而老板却说“给我复印两份”的幽默故事。
1．impression make a good impression on sb.是固定短语，意为“给某人留下好印象”。
2．how 句意：他经常在办公室里待到很晚，以此来显示他是多么地敬业和勤奋。“committed”和“hardworking”是形容词，所以用副词how修饰，表示程度。
3．about 固定句型 be about to do sth. when ...意为“正要做某事时突然……”。故填 about。
4．standing 动词see后通常接动词原形或现在分词作宾语补足语，此处表示正在发生的动作，所以用现在分词作宾语补足语。
5．to see 分析句子结构可知，形容词“Good”前省略了it is，所以用动词不定式作真正的主语。
6．and 分析句子结构可知，此处用连词and连接两个并列的句子。
7．could 根据主句中的谓语动词可知，此处是指与现在事实相反的虚拟，所以if引导的条件状语从句中的谓语动词要用一般过去时。故填could。
8．really 应用副词修饰动词“appreciate”。real的副词形式为 really。
9．happy 根据语境可知，Philip很高兴被要求做这样简单的工作。分析句子结构可知，空格处用形容词happy作状语，表伴随。
10．copies 根据数词“two”可知，此处名词应使用复数形式。copy的复数形式为copies。

As a senior three student, I often imagine what I will be doing in the future.______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________参考范文：
As a senior three student, I often imagine what I will be doing in the future. Talking of my dream job, I expect to be an English teacher for the following reasons.
First, I'm an energetic outgoing girl/boy with great patience. That's what makes a qualified teacher, in my opinion. Besides, I am crazy about the English language, and I am doing quite well. Above all, teachers are generally respected and wellpaid. With two vacations each year, I may enjoy more relaxing time. As a responsible girl/boy, I hope to take up a job which is beneficial to society. Being a good teacher may influence more students to shoulder their responsibilities and contribute to their country.
In short, I'll work even harder to become a popular English teacher.

(2016·济南市高考模拟)In our comparisonsoaked (攀比成风的) culture, it's hard to avoid slipping into “Why can't I？” mode. When one of my colleagues who I think is not better than me published a new book, I couldn't help complaining how unachievable it seemed to me and what bad luck I had. Negative feelings like this made life dark for us.__1__ Here's what I learned：
Don't compare your insides to someone else's outsides.
The first time I heard this excellent advice, I was suffering from terrible envy. My professor's warning shocked me that “You have no idea what it took for them to get there. Don't just owe it to pure luck. __2__”
She was absolutely right, yet it's much easier to envy what they've got than to ask the serious questions: What are they modeling for me? What have they done to get where they are today? __3__
Transform comparison into celebration.
Admiration and envy are responses pointing us toward what we value most. __4__ If you notice yourself admiring people who take creative risks, bring your full attention to the part of you that wants to be braver.
__5__
Next time you catch yourself admiring or envying someone's success, take a moment to consider: What qualities in them inspire me? Where do I presently display these qualities? Remember the light we see in others can help us see our own!
A．Use the success of others as a mirror.
B．Learn to appreciate others' shining points.
C．How to get rid of the harmful effects of comparison needs exploring.
D．However, there is no doubt that good luck can't be ignored.
E．Instead, you should find out what's really going on behind the scenes.
F．And once we become aware of what we value, we are much better positioned to create a richly satisfying life.
G．When we reflect on these questions, we shift immediately out of comparison mode and turn inwards.
