27、提供了一些建议。1A空前提到了不认真寻找工作的结局是被一次次拒绝。又根据下文提供了一些寻找暑期工作的建议，可知本空应该选择A项，起到承上启下的作用。2B根据空后内容：看看每种工作所需要的技能，和你已经具备的技能作比较，技能越匹配的工作，越适合你做。所以此空应该选B项“花点儿时间思考最适合你的工作类型”。3G根据空前的问句，及空后的“These are just a few of the questions.”可知此空应该是个疑问句，所以选择G项。4E根据空前内容可知，当你在寻找暑期工作时，还可以从其他渠道中获取帮助，E项意为：让你的家人、邻居和老师知道你正在找工作。这样他们也可以提供给你帮助，
28、所以E项为正确答案。5C根据空后的内容：很多地方都在招聘学生，即使有些工作时间不理想或你不一定喜欢，但是暑期工作不是永久的，你可以在挣钱的同时锻炼技能、增长阅历。C选项“你在找暑期工作时应该灵活些”符合语境。.语法填空Qiang Shuping was so busy making cloth shoes 1. she didnt even rest during the Dragon Boat Festival holiday.The woman from Baipu County，Jiangsu Province，2.
