Joe had been working at a bookstore for four months. Although four months might seem like a long time, Joe felt like it had been only one month since he was hired. 1. He couldn't believe he got hired on the day of his interview. Joe felt grateful that he worked at the bookstore. He loved to brag about his job to his friends and family.
2. His favourite author was Mark Twain. Joe's most beloved book was The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn. Working at a bookstore not only gave Joe a chance to read books, but allowed him to interact with other fellow bookworms. Joe would often recommend books to customers, and customers would do the same for Joe. Every now and then, he would come across classic books and want to take them home to read. 3. It was difficult to decide which book to take sometimes. Joe was getting paid three hundred dollars every two weeks. Sometimes it would surpass this amount when he worked overtime. 4. Buying a car was the main reason why Joe wanted to start working. He began shopping online for used vehicles.
Joe already knew which kind of car he wanted. He had first seen a picture of it in a magazine, and he had dreamed of owning one of his very own. His dream car was 1984 BMW. 5. He would search on the internet until he finally found it. Joe could not believe it when he discovered a seller with the car.
A. Joe wanted a black one with two doors.
B. Joe loved reading books in his spare time.
C. Working at a bookstore was a dream job for Joe.
D. Joe liked buying books written by American writers.
E. Joe's manager allowed him to take away one book for free once a week.
F. His boss wouldn't allow him to take away the books from the bookstore.
G. After a couple of months, Joe had saved up enough money to finally buy his first car.

1. C 根据“Joe felt grateful that he worked at the bookstore.”可知，Joe 很感激他能在书店工作，因此这里表示在书店工作是他的梦想工作。C项“在书店工作是乔梦寐以求的工作。”符合语境。
2. B 根据“His favourite author was Mark Twain. Joe's most beloved book was The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn.”可知，他喜欢读书，B项“乔喜欢在业余时间读书。”符合语境。
3. E 根据“It was difficult to decide which book to take sometimes.”可知，他很难决定要带哪一本书回家，因此这里表示经理只允许他一周免费带走一本书，E项符合语境。
4. G 根据设空处前面的“Sometimes it would surpass this amount when he worked overtime.”可知，有时 Joe 能积攒更多的钱，再结合后面的“He began shopping online for used vehicles.”可知，空格处应该是“几个月后，他终于攒够了钱买他的第一辆车”。
5. A 根据前文可知，他梦想着拥有自己的宝马汽车。后面应该是具体说明这辆车的情况。
