　　Losing a job is indeed very depressing. A sudden break to the regular monthly income can actually disrupt the life in a very bad way. However, nothing is permanent in life and you can do some things to deal with your unemployment.

　　First of all, don’t panic. Things do happen and they’ll continue to happen unexpectedly. Don’t get extremely discouraged and then land into depression. Believe in yourself and stay calm. Believe this is a temporary phase which is going to get over soon and thus there is no need to worry so much.

　　Once your mind is calm, try to analyze your situation. Why were you unemployed? Were you really able to do that job? Did you ever like it? Were you financially satisfied? Try to find answers to these questions. If you feel the job wasn’t of your choice, be happy! You no longer need to work there now. Soon, you’ll be finding a new job which will be of your interest.

　　Once you know the job is no longer yours, don’t complain. Think of other ways to earn money. Keep yourself very active. Call the people who can help you out or can guide you properly. Update your resume and practise interviewing skills. Look out for vacancies(空缺) in the newspaper and on the Internet daily and give as many interviews as you can.

　　After you’ve analyzed the alternatives, try to improve on your weak areas. If you feel you lack somewhere when it comes to communication, attend some lectures on the subject. If you need some technical training in your field, go ahead and complete a course that will improve your technical skills. Also, socialize with people and make your social life rich.

　　Lastly, try to promote your spirits and be happy. Don’t be nervous because things will surely fall into the right place!

　　课时作业(二十五)

　　Ⅰ.1.D　as if to see＝as if he was to see。

　　2．D　be set in 意为“以……为背景”；once published＝once it is published，是省略用法，it与publish是被动关系。

　　3．B　此题考查短语意思及用法。get down to doing sth.＝set out to do sth. 着手做某事；set off 动身；set up 建立。

　　4．D　desire后可跟复合宾语，其补足语用不定式短语。suggest可构成suggest one's doing，suggest that…或It is suggested that…结构，不可构成suggest sb. to do sth.结构； hope可构成hope to do sth.，hope that…或It's hoped that…结构，不可构成hope sb. to do sth.结构。

　　5．D　hold 意为“容纳”，符合句意。

　　6．A　考查省略句。所填部分作应答句的方式状语，因主从句的主语一致，都是the workers，因此可以将从句的主语和谓语中的助动词、系动词或情态动词省略，而且从句谓语动词tell与主语workers是被动关系，故选A。

　　7．B　由句意“我没有看到过比这更好的”，知应选better。

　　8．B　句意为：公司决定在财务部雇用一名新职员，在办公室辞退两名职员。take on 呈现，雇用某人，承担；take up 拿起，占据；take over接管；take off脱衣，起飞。

　　9．D　考查时态与省略句。由前面is supposed to…soon可知应用一般将来时。will是will make his visit的省略，即“我不知道他是否会来俱乐部”。

　　10．B　考查介词。本句如果改成：Sometimes it is not easy to seek proper answers to food safety problems.就容易解此题了。answer后接宾语时要用介词to。

　　11．D　 考查介词。have sth. in common with sb. 与某人有共同点；dance to 跟着乐曲跳舞。

　　12．C　考查情态动词。dare作情态动词，此处为它的过去式。

　　13．B　考查名词辨析。人们都说开公司很容易，可是实际情况并非如此。这里用reality表示“现实”与前面呼应：实际情况不一样。

　　14．A　考查动词时态的用法。句意为“你为什么这么着急？我的电脑瘫痪了，我的论文没完成。”，由此可以得知谓语动词应该用现在完成时，essay作主语，是被动语态。而恰巧动词是leave，leave作“使”讲，其用法是leave sth. undone，名词和过去分词之间是被动关系，故选A。

　　15．C　此处that引导的宾语从句作demands的宾语，故从句中用“(should)＋动词原形”表虚拟，故选C。

　　Ⅱ.16.as　be honoured as意为“被誉为， 被授予……的称号”。

　　17．married　根据当地习惯，他13岁结婚。

　　18．where　该空引导非限制性定语从句修饰England，且在从句中作地点状语，故填where。

　　19．for　fight for equal rights为平等的权利而斗争。

　　20．independence　根据“fight for an end to the British rule”而判断此处指“结束英国统治而获得独立”，故填independence。

　　21．However　根据前后的转折关系可判断填However。

　　22．in　give in屈服。此处意为“英国政府不得不屈服”。

　　23．Unfortunately　不幸的是，甘地被枪杀了。由此判断填Unfortunately。

　　Ⅲ.本文是广告阅读，主要介绍四项活动开展的时间、成员、主办者及活动的基本内容。

　　28．D　推理判断题。根据How much of an effect does the book review have on book sales？Join this group of critics(评论家) as they discuss the reality of book review and best－seller lists, and how they choose books for review可判断选D。
