不同的工作,只要有动力,就能找到机会。
【难句分析】 One of the best things about living in China for me is that I can explore different career choices and actually find one that I truly love.
分析:该句为主从复合句。句中that I can explore different career choices and actually find one that I truly love为that引导的表语从句,其中that I truly love为that引导的定语从句,修饰先行词one。
译文:对我来说,在中国生活最好的事情之一就是我可以探索不同的职业选择,并且的确找到了一个我真正喜欢的职业。
1.Why the term "English teacher" couldn't explain the author's role in China clearly?
A.Because he has taken many different jobs in China.
B.Because he has no choice but to be an English teacher.
C.Because the purpose of his teaching is to make good money.
D.Because there're too many jobs for him to choose from.
答案与解析:A 考查细节理解。根据第四段,尤其是第二句"In China I have had many jobs: an actor, a model, a salesman and a teacher at various stages during my seven years here"可知,"我"在中国生活的七年时光中,从事了多种职业,故第一段中所说的"英语老师"这个词并不能清楚地说明"我"在中国的角色。
2.Why are some of the author's old friends generally unhappy?
A.Because they have no chance to work in China as teachers.
B.Because it's even harder for them to earn money in the US now.
C.Because they have no ability to explore their other talents.
D.Because they can't get away from the work they don't enjoy.
答案与解析:D 考查细节理解。根据第二段,尤其是第二到四句"Some are stressed, exhausted and generally unhappy. They are stuck in jobs they don't love that they do only to pay the bills. Even the ones making good money don't even have the time to spend it and enjoy themselves"可知,在美国,"我"的老朋友中的一些人压力很大
