Shortly after I began a career in business，I learned that Carl Weatherup，president of PepsiCo(百事可樂(lè)公司)，was speaking at the University of Colorado.I tracked down the person handling his, schedule and managed to get myself an appointment._________ (46)

So there 1 was sitting outside the university’s auditorium，waiting for the president of PepsiCo.I could hear him talking to the students…and talking，and talking._________ (47)He was now five minutes over, which dropped my time with him down to 10 minutes.Decision time.

I wrote a note on the back of my business card，reminding him that he had a meeting.“You have a meeting with Jeff Hoye at 2：30 pm.”I took a deep breath，pushed open the doors of the auditorium and walked straight up the middle aisle(過(guò)道)toward him as he talked.Mr.Weatherup stopped._________ (48)Just before I reached the door, I heard him tell the group that he was running late.He thanked them for their attention，wished them luck and walked out to where 1 was now sitting，holding my breath.

He looked at the card and then at me.“Let me guess.”he said.“You’re Jeff.”He smiled._________ (49)He spent the next 30 minutes offering me his time，some wonderful stories that I still use，and an invitation to visit him and his group in New Y_0rk.But what he gave me that I value the most was the encouragement to continue to do as I had done._________ (50)When things need to happen，you either have the nerve to act or you don’t.

A I began breathing again and we grabbed(霸占)an office right there at school and closed the door.

答案解析

46.E文章的第一段談到，“我”得知百事公司的老總要在科羅拉多大學(xué)講學(xué)，就設(shè)法得到了約見(jiàn)他的機(jī)會(huì)。接下去應(yīng)該是E，這是一個(gè)轉(zhuǎn)折，“我”雖然得到了約見(jiàn)他的機(jī)會(huì)，但在他作完演講之后卻只有15分鐘的時(shí)間。所以，在第二段的開(kāi)頭才會(huì)出現(xiàn)：“我”在大學(xué)禮堂外面等候的描述。E與前后連貫，所以是答案。

47.C第二段開(kāi)頭描述“我”在禮堂外面等候的情況。第二個(gè)句子談到，“我”能聽(tīng)到他給學(xué)生們講話，他講啊講……最后一個(gè)句子提到，他已經(jīng)超過(guò)了五分鐘了。在第二句和最后一句之間應(yīng)該是C，“我大為吃驚，他該停的時(shí)候沒(méi)停”。

48.F第三段講“我”在名片后面寫(xiě)了個(gè)便條提醒他還有個(gè)約會(huì)，然后推開(kāi)門(mén)，向他走去。接下去很自然應(yīng)該是F，把名片遞給他。

49。A第四段談到，百事的老總看了看名片，又看了看我，……他笑了。他笑了，說(shuō)明他同意和我談話，所以，接下去應(yīng)該是A。

50.D第五段第二個(gè)句子談到，他所給“我”的也是“我”最珍視的，就是他鼓勵(lì)“我”繼續(xù)按照“我”做過(guò)的作法做�！拔摇弊鬟^(guò)的做法就是有膽量打斷一個(gè)總裁的演講，所以，接下去應(yīng)該是D，是總裁對(duì)“我”所作鼓勵(lì)的具體內(nèi)容。
