For me,my great moment came when I actually decided to accept an oppor?tunity to teach English in Shanghai. There were times when I almost gave up because of fear. But in the end I came here.
Last summer,a Canadian-Chinese woman who teaches in Shanghai just happened to come to the place where I was working in the Seattle area. We talked and I said I had always wanted to teach abroad. She said,"Come to our school. Okay,"I replied,but I wasn't sure if I meant it.
I We met later for coffee. She answered all of my questions about the school,and gave me the website address and the e-mail address of the person to contact. It took six months for me to finally decide on the job.
First of all,in Shanghai there are many places to eat western food and lots of interesting things to do. Also,there is a great subway system with di?rections and stops posted in English. Finding your way around is a challenge in a new place. But that isn't hard here. Taxis are very cheap;you can always jump in one and get home. There are also a lot of westerners in Shanghai,so it is fairly easy to ask for directions. Young Chinese people are much more likely to speak English and they are wonderfully helpful.
I earn almost $ 1,000 per month and live in a nice rent-free apartment. My biggest expense (開銷) has been food as I am a vegetarian (素食者) and also on a diet. I still have not got used to the traditional Chinese food,but if you like it,you'll be in heaven.
Here I have a good place to live in,new friends,a high salary,and a good job. In the US,getting a job at my age has been next to impossible for a woman.

9. According to the last but one paragraph,the writer .

A. spends lots of money each month
B. lived alone when she was in the United States

6. B推理判斷題。根據(jù)第一段的"There were times when I almost gave up because of fear.”以及第三段的"It took six months for me to finally decide on the job.”可
知,一開始作者不是很確定是否要去上海教學(xué)。
7. D推理判斷題。作者在第四段描述了在上海生活的便利,故可推斷她很喜歡在上海的生活。
8. C詞義猜測題。根據(jù)第四段的"Finding your way around is a challenge in a new place."以及轉(zhuǎn)折的語境可知,畫線詞指代的是前面"找路"一事。
9. B細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第五段的"I earn almost $1,000 per month and live in a nice rent-free apartment."可知作者不用付房租。
10. D推理判斷題。根據(jù)末段的內(nèi)容可知,作者在上海工作給她帶來了很多好處,而如果在美國,她這個(gè)年紀(jì)不一定能找到工作,故可推斷她很高興做了來上海工作的決定。

科目:高中英語 來源: 題型:
One spring break when I was a senior in college,some friends and I drove to the West Coast. Along the way we stopped and spent two days on a farm in Idaho. There had once been dairy farmers,but at the time of our visit they were retired and the cows had been sold. Still,the place was a real farm,and we got to work a little,walk a lot,and eat great food. We brushed two huge horses,helped fix some fences and generally had a good time. The snow?capped mountains in the distance and the wild flowers in the yard made the place nice. I liked the life there.
Though I did not grow up to be a farmer,I still manage to spend as much time on other people's farms as I can. For me,it beats a holiday inn. Next to the scenery and the food,the work itself is always the best part. It makes me feel good.
If you haven't planned your summer vacation yet,maybe it would be a good idea to spend some time on a farm. Many farmers open their doors to travellers,who can expect all different kinds of accommodations (食宿) and experiences. If you are looking for something to give you the flavour of farm life but feel mostly like taking a vacation,you could spend a weekend at a farm offering "farm vacations".
One day back at that farm in Idaho,my friends and I planted trees in the yard. Being in such a nice place inspired us to make up a little song to sing to each tree as we put it in its hole. Fifteen years later that funny song still comes to me when I am working in my garden. Farm vacations can make a deep im?pression.
