　　答案與解析：

　　1. B。細(xì)節(jié)題。選項(xiàng)A在第一段就被否決，D與文中內(nèi)容正好相反，她沒有任何開烘烤面包公司的經(jīng)驗(yàn)。C也不對(duì)，因?yàn)轭}干里明確強(qiáng)調(diào)的是對(duì)她早期職業(yè)規(guī)劃最有影響的一件事。

　　2. C。細(xì)節(jié)題。題干指向文中第四段，可以看出雖然開始想創(chuàng)業(yè)時(shí)并非一帆風(fēng)順，但她始終在為追尋這個(gè)夢想不停地學(xué)習(xí)和積累經(jīng)驗(yàn)，所以當(dāng)機(jī)會(huì)到來時(shí)她已經(jīng)準(zhǔn)備好了。

　　3. A。細(xì)節(jié)題�！癇ut Harrington worked out an agreement to supply Pepperidge Farm as well”此句是答題關(guān)鍵，從中可以看出除了麥當(dāng)勞外，她還為其他快餐店提供服務(wù)。

　　4. C。細(xì)節(jié)題。通篇可以看出她的事業(yè)是蒸蒸日上的，所以與此氛圍不符的C應(yīng)該是正確答案，注意題干是否定表述。還有在前面幾段，她透露說“This was global”與C選項(xiàng)正好完全相反，可據(jù)此直接選擇正確答案。

　　5. B。主旨題。文章前半部分講了她如何沒有放棄夢想，始終朝同一方向努力的事情，后半部分講了她的管理理念就是關(guān)注并資助員工，B最全面地概括了兩者，故是最佳答案。
