根据下面资料，回答47-50题

Nineteen-year-old Melissa Goza couldn' t figure out why she failed to get a bank card time and time again．It only became clear when she was unsuccessful while looking for a new job in a Target store:Three different people are using her Social Security number (社会保障号)．

Target is one of the companies using credit (信用) reports when hiring new workers．At least one credit report didn't favor Goza in getting the job．A very low credit rate (评价) was under Goza' s Social Security number．Target, as required by law, told Goza why the company couldn' t offer her the job．

Sacramento lawyer Jennifer Shaw, a specialist in workplace law, says credit reports are just one more way employers use to find dishonest job seekers．"I think we need to know that, right now, there' s more information out there．And that means, there' s more information that can be used against us, "said Shaw．

Goza' s dark cloud may, however, have a silver lining．Target told her she' d be considered again for the job if she could get a letter from the Social Security Department proving that she' s the right owner of the Social Security number．

Now that Goza knows she' s suffered from other people' s wrongdoings, she will order copies of her credit reports to see what she can do to put things right．

What does Goza have to do next

What does "a silver lining" in Paragraph 4 probably mean

正确答案：A

本题解析：

词义猜测题。根据第四段可知，塔吉特公司告诉戈扎如果社会保障部门愿意给她开一封信，证明她是社会葆障号码的合法所有者的话，就会重新考虑她的求职申请。由此可知，此处表示情况的反转，因此a silver lining和前面的dark cloud意思相反，dark cloud表示“乌云”，而a silver lining应该表示“乌云周围的白光”，引申义是“一线希望”，说明情况出现了转机，戈扎的工作有了希望。a hopeful future意为“充满希望的未来”，与a silver lining意思相近，故本题选A。

It was Sharing Day! The teacher had asked the students to bring something interesting to class．

Jimmy found the little box he and Dad had made．Inside was a piece of rock, a sand dollar and a shark (鲨鱼) tooth．Nobody could have anything as interesting as these !

In class, Jimmy waited anxiously, hoping to be called on first by the teacher．But Kara was first．

She held up a sand dollar．Jimmy's eyes grew big．

"I found this on the beach, "Kara said．"It' s interesting．The little holes that make the sand dollar look like a flower are breathing holes．See all the needles They help the sand dollar move and dig into the sand．"

Jimmy was a little uneasy．Oh, well, he still had his rock and shark tooth．

Then Mark stood up． "This is my favorite rock, called pumice (浮石)．" Then Mark dropped the rock into a glass of water．"Look ! Pumice is the only rock that floats !"

Jimmy put up his hand and waved, but the teacher called on Justin instead．

"I found this shark tooth in Hawaii last Christmas, "Justin said．

The class was excited, but Jimmy lowered his head．"Sharks have rows of teeth．Every time a shark loses a tooth, another one takes its place．"Justin passed the tooth around．

Jimmy heard the teacher call him．He stood on one foot and then the other．"Well, ah, see．．．my treasure box is interesting ! It was just a piece of wood until Dad and I cut it into pieces and finally made a box out of it．It smells good, reminding us of camping．"

"What's inside" asked Lisa．

Jimmy opened his box．"A sand dollar, a piece of pumice and a shark tooth．"

His classmates' mouths dropped open．The teacher looked at the objects in the box and smiled．

Scientists have long tried to be able to know more about floods．So far, the best that scientists can do is to recognize the conditions for flooding．

Although deep snow alone seldom causes floods, when it occurs together with heavy rain and sudden warmer weather, it can lead to serious flooding．If there is a fast snow melt (融化) on top of frozen or very wet ground, flooding is likely to occur．Melting snow also causes high water levels in rivers．

Whenever rivers are already at their highest possible levels, heavy rains will result in the rivers' flooding the nearby land．

Rivers covered in ice can also lead to flooding．When ice begins to melt, it breaks into large pieces．

These pieces of ice move and float down the river．They can block the river, causing the water to rise and flood the land up the river．If the ice dam (坝) breaks suddenly, the large quantity of water held behind it can flood the areas down the river too．

Broken ice dams are not the only problem that can cause flooding．When a large human-made dam breaks or fails to hold the water collected behind it, it will also cause serious damage．

Although scientists cannot always know when floods will occur, they do know a great deal about when floods are likely, or probably, going to occur．
