题目列表(包括答案和解析)
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 came 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 reluctant 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. take 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. The underlined word “reluctant” in the passage may probably mean ________.
A. kind B. unwilling C. free D. careless

Visitors to Switzerland usually include Basel in their list of cities to visit. It has a population of over350 000, the majority of whom speak German. However, it is considered a kind of international city, because it stands at the point where three countries meet. Many visitors go to the place in the city where a small three side marker stays? France on one side, Germany on another, and Switzerland on the third. The Rhine, which divides the city, becomes wide and deep enough just at this point for ships to sail all the way up to the North Sea. Basel is quite an old city, too, having risen five centuries ago. The University Basel was founded in 1860, and it is well-known today.
