题目内容：

(2013·高考山东卷，A)Jimmy is an automotive mechanic，but he lost his job a few months ago.He has a good heart，but always feared applying for a new job.

One day，he gathered up all his strength and decided to attend a job interview.His appointment was at 10 am and it was already 8：30.While waiting for a bus to the office where he was supposed to be interviewed，he saw an elderly man wildly kicking the tyre of his car.Obviously there was something wrong with the car.Jimmy immediately went up to lend him a hand.When Jimmy finished working on the car，the old man asked him how much he should pay for the service.Jimmy said there was no need to pay him；he just helped someone in need，and he had to rush for an interview.Then the old man said，“Well，I could take you to the office for your interview.It’s the least I could do.Please，I insist.”Jimmy agreed.

Upon arrival，Jimmy found a long line of applicants waiting to be interviewed.Jimmy still had some grease on him after the car repair，but he did not have much time to wash it off or have a change of shirt.One by one，the applicants left the interviewer’s office with disappointed looks on their faces.Finally his name was called.The interviewer was sitting on a large chair facing the office window.Rocking the chair back and forth，he asked，“Do you really need to be interviewed？”Jimmy’s heart sank.“With the way I look now，how could I possibly pass this interview？”he thought to himself.

Then the interviewer turned the chair and to Jimmy’s surprise，it was the old man he helped earlier in the morning.It turned out he was the General Manager of the company.

“Sorry I had to keep you waiting，but I was pretty sure I made the right decision to have you as part of our workforce before you even stepped into this office.I just know you’d be a trustworthy worker.Congratulations！”Jimmy sat down and they shared a cup of well­deserved coffee as he landed himself a new job.

小题1:解析：选A。细节理解题。根据第一段中的he lost his job可知他失业了，因此要去申请一份新工作。选项B“他厌倦了他的工作”，选项C“他想得到一个更高的职位”以及选项D“他想找到一个更好的老板”在文中均未提及。

小题2:解析：选D。细节理解题。根据第二段中的．..he saw an elderly man...there was something wrong with the car.可推知吉米看到一位老人的车坏了。选项A“一个朋友的车瘪胎了”中的朋友与文章内容不相符；选项B“一个疯狂的男人在推车”与文中的“一个上了年纪的人在使劲地踢他汽车的轮胎”不相符；选项C“发生了一场可怕的事故”在文中未提及。

小题3:解析：选D。推理判断题。第二段中的后半部分提到吉米帮老人修好车后，又说了自己的情况，即他急着去参加面试，老人很感激他，就坚持要载他去。选项A“他也要去面试”在文中未提及；选项B“他需要一个旅游同伴”在文中也未提及；选项C“他总是帮助需要帮助的人”在文中也未提及。

小题4:解析：选B。推理判断题。由第三段中的倒数第二句Jimmy’s heart sank.可推知他感觉自己已经没有希望得到这份工作了。选项A“他为其他的申请者感到遗憾”，选项C“他后悔帮助了那位老人”，选项D“这位面试官很粗鲁”在文中均未提及。

小题5:解析：选C。推理判断题。根据文中的叙述可知，吉米在去面试时帮助了一位车坏了的老人，而这位老人就是他去面试的那家公司的总经理，于是吉米得到了那份工作。由此我们可以推断出本文旨在告诉读者“好人有好报”。选项A“有志者，事竟成”，选项B“患难朋友才是真朋友”，选项D“两人智慧胜一人”，都与文章主旨不符。
