20、 不久以后。到了奧克蘭之后不久，“我”就意識到了得到一份工作對“我”生活開支的重要性。故D項符合文意。3C對于“我”的生活經歷而言，“我”認識到得到一份工作對我生活開支的重要性。with隨著；for對于，至于。故選C項。4Aon one's own獨自地，獨立地；on one's way在路上；by any chance萬一；by the day按天計算，按日。從下文可知，作者出去找工作都是獨自一人完成的，故on my own適合文意。5D由but可知，but后面的內容應該和前面的“I spent several weeks going door­to­do

21、or for a job”形成轉折，“我沒找到工作”。選項中只有little表示否定意義。故選D項。6C“我”走進這所大樓，目的是想找到一份工作，所以去問是否能有工作機會。why為什么；wherever無論在哪里；whether是否；whenever無論何時。故C項為正確答案。7Ddirection方向，指導，趨勢，用法說明；attitude態度，意見，看法；language語言；manner方式，方法，態度，舉止，禮貌，規矩，習慣；in that manner以那種方式。這座大樓里的人建議“我”不要再用這種方式找工作了。故D項為正確答案。8Canswer回答；work工作；leave離開；r
