beat yurself up过分自责 sure-fire adj.必定成功的
ff ne’s game状态不佳
【熟词生义】 blw 常用义：v.刮，吹 文中义：v.失去，搞砸（努力）
1.G 空前提到了有时候，不管你为面试做了多少准备，总会出问题。也许你醒来感到头痛，或者无法将你的注意力从一件紧迫的私人事务上转移开。空后提到了你可以用一些从糟糕的面试中恢复过来的策略。由此可知，空处应与面试中的糟糕表现有关。G项"不管是什么，这种情况都可能导致糟糕的表现"与上下文联系紧密。
2.C 空前提到了一次糟糕的面试会让你感到沮丧和自责，花点时间反思一下这段经历，空后提到（人们）很容易认为面试比实际情况还要糟糕，故空处内容应与对面试的反思及其不良影响有关。C项"但是，不要考虑太久"与上文形成语意上的转折，空后内容解释了不要考虑太久的原因。
3.A 空处是段落主题句。由"ask yurself if there is anything yu can learn frm yur mistakes"以及列举的三个问题可知，本段内容应与找出面试失败的原因并从中吸取经验教训有关。对比各段落的小标题可知，空处应为简短的祈使句，因此可将答案锁定在A项或B项。A项能更好地概括段落大意。
4.F 由空前的"Did the interview g prly because yu were late？ Were yu t stressed？ Did yu give a wrng answer t a cmmn interview questin？"和空后提到的你可以更好地为下一场面试做准备可知，空处应涉及反思造成面试失败的原因。F项"识别具体的原因有助于你解决问题"与上下文语意衔接紧密。
5.D 本段主要讲的是请求第二次机会。根据空前内容可知，如果你认为自己搞砸了面试，不要放弃。在面试结束后发一封感谢信解释为什么你表现不佳。空处位于段尾，是对前文内容的总结，因此空处应与信件的内容有关。D项"然后问一下你们是否可以再见面"符合语境。
