He has a good heart, but always afraid to apply for a new job. One day, he gathered up all his strength and decided to attend a job interview. His appoint? ment was at 10 a.m. and it was already 8:30. While waiting for a bus, he saw an elderly man wild? ly kicking the tyre of his car. Obviously there was something wrong with the car. Jimmy immedi? ately went up to lend him a hand. When Jimmy finished working on the car, the old man asked him how much he should pay for the service. Jimmy said there was no need to pay him; he just helped someone in need, and he had to rush for an interview. Then the old man said,“Well, I could take you to the office for your interview. It’s the least I could do. Please, I insist.”Jimmy agreed. Upon arrival, Jimmy found a long line of applicants waiting to be interviewed. Finally his name was called. The interviewer was sitting on a large chair facing the office window. Rocking the chair back and forth, he asked,“Do you really need to be interviewed?”Jimmy’s heart sank. “With the way I look now, how could I possibly pass this interview?”He thought to himself. Then the interviewer turned the chair and to Jimmy’s surprise, it was the old man he helped earlier in the morning. “Sorry I had to keep you waiting, but I was pretty sure I made the right decision to have you as part of our workforce before you even stepped into this office. I just know you’d be a trustwor? thy worker. Congratulations!”Jimmy sat down and they shared a cup of well-deserved coffee . 高三英语 第 1 页 （共 8 页） 21. Why did Jimmy apply for a new job? A.
