Question

【題目】任務(wù)型閱讀
Billy Smith loves water. His hobbies are swimming and diving (潛水). And he likes golf too. Billy's a very lucky man because his interests are part of his job.
Billy lives in the USA with his wife, Linda. They got married ten years ago. At that time, Billy worked in an office in New York. He worked with computers. He worked five days a week, from eight in the morning to seven in the evening. He hated his job. There was no time for diving or golf. Linda worked in a shop and she didn't like her boss (老板). She hated the cold winters in New York too. So Billy and Linda decided to leave their jobs in New York and buy a house in Florida. The weather is fantastic in Florida. The days are sunny and hot.
Now Billy goes diving every day and he goes to golf courses (球場) every day. But he doesn't play golf very much—he works at the golf course. He travels around Florida and he goes to lots of different golf courses. Sometimes Linda goes with him and sometimes she stays at home. There are lakes on many golf courses and Billy only goes to golf courses with lakes. Players often hit their golf balls into the water.
In his new job, Billy dives in the lakes for these golf balls. On some days, Billy collects two thousand golf balls. Linda has an office in their home and she works there. She sells the lost golf balls that Billy finds. For golfers, they are cheaper than new golf balls.
Both Billy and Linda are very happy now.

【解析】文章大意：Billy喜歡潛水和打高爾夫球，他現(xiàn)在的工作就是去各個高爾夫球場，去尋找落在湖里面的高爾夫球。她的妻子Linda在家有一個辦公室，她的工作就是賣Billy撿到的球。
（1）根據(jù)短文中He hated his job. There was no time for diving or golf.可知，Billy不喜歡他過去在辦公室的工作，因為他沒有時間去做他喜歡的事，例如潛水和打高爾夫球。故答案是Because there was no time for diving and golf。
（2）根據(jù)短文第二段中The weather is fantastic in Florida. The days are sunny and hot.可知，佛羅里達的天氣是非常迷人的，那里天氣晴朗、炎熱。故答案是It's fantastic/ I's sunny and hot.
（3）根據(jù)短文的第四段中Linda has an office in their home and she works there. She sells the lost golf balls that Billy finds可知，Linda在家里有一個辦公室，她在家里工作，她去賣Billy在水里找到的高爾夫球。故答案是In their home。
