A couple from Minneapolis decided to go to Florida for a long weekend to warm themselves up during one particularly icy cold winter. They planned to stay at the very same hotel where they spent their honeymoon 20 years ago. They both had jobs, so it was decided that her husband would fly to Florida on a Thursday, and his wife would follow him the next day. Upon arriving as planned, the husband checked into the hotel. There he decided to open his laptop(笔记本电脑) and send his wife an e-mail back in Minneapolis. However, he accidentally left off one letter in her address and sent the e-mail without noticing his error.
In the mean time: In Houston, a woman had just returned from her husband’s burial. He was a minister of many years who had been “called home to glory” following a heart attack. The woman checked her e-mail, expecting message from family and friends. Upon reading the first message, she fainted(昏厥)and fell to the floor. Her son rushed into the room, found his mother on the floor and saw the computer screen which read:
To: My Loving Wife
From: Your Departed Husband
Subject: I’ve arrived!
I’ve just arrived and have been checked in. I see that everything has been prepared for your arrival tomorrow. Looking forward to seeing you then. Hope your journey is as uneventful(平静)as mine was.

To Chinese immigrants, in the mid-1800s, California was “The Land of the Golden Mountain.” In their homeland they had heard the words, “There’s gold in California.” They sailed 7,000miles to join the gold rush and strike it rich．Between 1849 and 1882, more than 30,000 Chinese came to California．Most were men．They had been farmers in China．They came here to be miners and laborers．They ended up doing many other jobs, too.
Like many other immigrants, they did not plan to stay in America．They came because of their ties to their homeland and their families．They planned to return to China with their fortunes and help their families．
Only a few Chinese gold miners struck it rich．Most picked over the areas that had been mined already．But still, white miners resented the Chinese．Slowly, they drove the “yellow peril” from the mining camps．
By the end of the 1850s, many Chinese returned home．Those who stayed found other jobs.
Few women had come 
west in the gold rush．The Chinese saw a good business opportunity．They began doing the jobs women would have done．Many became house servants．Many more opened laundries.
The Chinese opened restaurants．Chop suey and show mein are popular Chinese-American dishes．The Chinese probably created these dishes to serve to the white miners.

Getting paid to talk about the World Cup is a great job. I’m not a football commentator(评论员), though-just an English teacher in Japan.
I come to Japan two years ago, and didn’t think I would stay, but Japan has that effect on you. People often end up living here longer than they planned. I think it’s best to teach in a bigger city where there are other foreigners to mix with, rather than a small town where English teachers often complain of feeling like a goldfish in a bowl. Many people choose to live in Tokyo, of course, which is good for the nightlife factor. But I’d say that for general quality of living, cities of neither too large nor too small, like Sapporo where I live, are better choices.
I teach English privately, which means I’m my own boss. If you want to devote yourself to private teaching, it’s well worth doing a TEFL course first, because your lessons will be much better for it. The problem with private teaching is finding students; it took me a year to build up a full schedule(日程表) of private lessons, so I started out teaching in schools part-time.
Most of my foreign friends here work full-time for big English conversation schools. The salary is fine to live on, but whether you can save money depends on how much going out and traveling you do here.
The schools are unwilling to take time off –even teachers with tickets for the England-Argentina game had trouble getting the day off.
1. From the passage we know in Japan the writer likes to live in ________.
A．Tokyo B．a small town
C．a city of middle size D．a big city
2.According to the writer, one had better _______ first to do private teaching better.
A．give a TEFL course B．decide his or her own lessons
C．find students D．build up a full schedule
3.The underlined sentence in the second paragraph implies that _______.
A．there are many foreigners in Japan
B．Japan is good for nightlife
C．they can teach English privately in Japan
D．Japan has something more attractive than expected
4.After reading the passage, we can see _________.
A．the writer travelled a lot and saved much money in Japan.
B．the writer teaches English in more than one school as a part-time job.
C．the writer enjoys watching football games
D．the writer spent one year in finding students for his private teaching.
