语篇解读：招聘公司的工作人员在向Johnson推荐一份工作，Johnson询问有关情况。 1．calling 考查时态。根据语境，call动作正在进行，故用calling。
2．interested 考查词性转换。be interested in是固定搭配，意思是“对……感兴趣”。 3．to find 考查谓语动词。want to do sth．“想要做某事”。
4．how 考查疑问词。“疑问词＋动词不定式”为固定用法。此处是要找一位“懂得如何操作电脑的人”。
5．the 考查冠词。此处特指“you”，故用the。
6．have offered 考查时态。根据时间状语up till now可知，此处用现在完成时。 7．changeable 考查词性转换。根据后面的“Sometimes early in the morning；sometimes late in the afternoon”可知，此处用changeable。
8．it 考查代词。根据语境，此处用it指代前面提到的工作。
9．information 考查词性转换。由“some more”可知，此处填不可数名词information。 10．with 考查介词。talk sth．over with sb．“和某人谈论某事”。 Ⅴ．短文改错
