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 tile 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. 56. From the passage we know in Japan the writer likes to live in ________. A. TokyoB. a small townC. a city of middle sizeD. a big city 57. According to the writer, one had better ________ first to do private teaching better. A. take a TEFL courseB. decide his or her own lessons C. find studentsD. build up a full schedule 58. The underlined sentence in the second paragraph implies that ________. A. there are many foreigners in JapanB. Japan is good for nightlife C. they can teach English privately in Japan D. Japan has something more attractive than expected 59. The underlined word "reluctant" in the passage may probably mean ________. A. kindB. unwillingC. freeD. careless B As skies are filled with millions of migrating(迁徙) birds, European scientists say the seasonal wonder appears to be strange: The fatter the bird, tile better it flies. The results of their study led to a theory opposite to a central one of aerodynamics (空气动力学), which says that the power needed to fly increases with weight. For birds, obviously, the cost of flying with heavy fat is much smaller than we used to think. Researchers found that red knot wading birds double their normal body weight of 100 grams before making their twice-a-year nonstop flight between the British Isles and the Russian Arctic. Distance: 5,000 kilometers. Another study in the magazine Nature measured the advantage of flying in an aerodynamic group which allows birds to save energy by flying smoothly and quietly in the lead bird' s air stream. Flying in groups, their heart rates were 14.5 percent lower than flying alone, according to Henri, a French scientist. The findings help explain how birds complete difficult migrations. Researchers had thought that thinner, stronger birds would have the best chance to survive. The first study suggests that building up fat to be burnt as fuel during the migration is worth more than the energy it takes to carry the additional weight. In the study, researchers said their team studied the birds flown at different body weights during 28 simulated(模拟的) flights. They forced a small amount of special water into the birds' bodies so that they could measure the ammount of energy burnt during the flight. 60. A red knot wading bird of 100 grams will probably weigh ________ before making its nonstop migrating flight. A. 50 grams B. 100 gramsC. 150 gramsD. 200 grams 61. During their migrating flight, red knot wading birds can save energy by flying A. separatelyB. aloneC. in groupsD. in pairs 62. A ________ red knot wading bird has a better chance to survive during its migrating flight. A. strongerB. weakerC. thinnerD. fatter 63. The best title for this passage may probably be ________. A. Birds Thin Down For JourneyB. Birds Fatten Up For Journey C. How Birds Build Up Fat For JourneyD. How Birds Burn Energy For Journey =========== 无忧考网 =========== 欢迎访问无忧考网官方网站： 微信公众号：无忧考网
