Personal Assistant of the Year

0 Anne-Marie Garrard was shocked when it was announced that she had won the

00 Personal Assistant of the Year award. ‘The other candidates seemed me

34 to be very strong, and I have to say I found that the selection procedure really

35 hard,' she says. 'I didn't think I had any chance of winning. When I heard my

36 name, my legs were so weak I could only hardly stand up,' she laughs. So

37 how is 'the best' personal assistant chosen from a group of so extremely good

38 and very different individuals? The final decision was reached after a

39 day-long session of the tests, interviews and exercises. Garrard believes

40 the skills she uses in her job helped her how to perform well. For instance, although

41 most of her work is for her company's Managing Director, she works for six bosses

42 in all, so she always tries out to be prepared for anything that might happen.

43 As for the future, her firm has closed for its summer break now; as soon as

44 they will open again, there is a pay rise waiting for her. But Garrard is not

45 going to be relax. She says, 'There's always room for personal development.You must keep trying to improve.

34題，find后面直接可以接復合結(jié)構(gòu)，例如find the story very interesting。如果是find that的話，that后面要接從句。所以這里that多余。

35題，正確的

36題，從意思上理解，說的是由于激動差點都站不起來，I could hardly stand up。Only多余。

37題，extremely是副詞，直接用來修飾good，so在這里多余。

38題，正確的

39題，tests, interviews and exercises并不是特指，不需要用the。

40題，help do sth.固定詞組，how多余

41題，正確的

42題，try out是試驗，考驗的意思，后面一般接for，這里應該直接用tries to be表示嘗試。

43題，正確的

44題，as soon as，一…..就，后面從句通常用一般現(xiàn)在時表示將來時，所以will多余。

45題，be going to后面直接接動詞，表示將來的動作，如果有be的話后面接形容詞。relax是動詞，所以be多余
