     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 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.
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

     The young boy saw me, or rather, he saw the car and quickly ran up to me,eager to sell his bunches
(串) of bananas and bags of peanuts. Though he appeared to be about twelve, he seemed to have already
known he bitterness of life. "Bananas 300 naira. Peanuts 200 naira." He said in a low voice. I bargained
him down to 200 that for the fruit and nuts, When he agreed, I handed him a 500 naira bill. He didn"t have
change. So I told him not to worry. He said thanks and smiled a row of perfect teeth.
     When, two weeks later, I saw the boy again, I was more aware of my position in a society where it"s
not that uncommon to see a little boy who should be in school standing on the corner selling fruit in the
burning sun. My parents bad raised me to be aware of the advantage we had been afforded and the
responsibility it brought to us.

waved them away. "What"t up?"asked him.
     "I…I don"t have money to buy books for school."I reached into my pocket and handed him two fresh
500 naira bills. "Will this help?" I asked. He looked around nervously before taking the money. One thousand
naira was a lot of money to someone whose family probably made about 5,000 naira or less each year.
"Thank you, sir." he said. "Thank you very much!"
     When driving home. I wondered if my little friend actually used the money for schoolbooks. What if he"s
a cheat (骗子)? And then I wondered why I did it. Did I do it to make myself feel better? Was I using him?
Later, I realized that I wondered why I did it, Did I do it to make myself feel better? Was I using him? Later,
I realized that I didn"t know his name or the least bit about him, nor did I think to ask.
     Over the next six months, I was busy working in a news agency in northern Nigeria. Sometime after
I returned, I went out For a drive. When I was about to pull over, the boy suddenly appeared by my window
with a big smile ready on his face.
     "Oh, gosh! Long time."
      "Are you in school now?"I asked.
      He nodded.
     "That"s good," I said. A silence fell as we looked at each other, and then I realized what he wanted.
"Here," I held out a 500 naira bill. "Take this." He shook his head and stepped back as if hurt. "What"s
wrong?" I asked. "It"s a gift."
      He shook his head again and brought his had form behind his back. His face shone with sweat (汗水).
He dropped a bunch of bananas and a bag of peanuts in the front seat before he said, "I"ve been waiting to
give these to you."

     Tim Richter and his wife, Linda, had taught for over 30 years near Buffalo, New York--he in computers,
she in special education. "Teaching means everything to us," Tim would say. In April1998, he learned he
would need a heart operation. It was the kind of news that leads to some serious thinking about life"s purpose.
     Not long after the surgery, Tim saw a brochure describing Imagination Library, a program started by Dolly
Parton" s foundation (基金会) that mailed a book every month to children from birth to age five in the singer"s
home town of Sevier, Tennessee. "I thought, maybe Linda and I could do something like this when we retire,"
Tim recalls. He placed the brochure on his desk, "as a reminder."
     Five years later, now retired and with that brochure still on the desk, Tim clicked on imagination library.
com. The program had been opened up to partners who could take advantage of book and postage discounts.
     The quality of the books was of great concern to the Richters. Rather than sign up online, they went to
Dollywood for a look-see."We didn"t want to give the children rubbish," says Linda. The books-reviewed each
year by teachers, literacy specialists and Dollywood board members-included classics such as Ezra Jack Keats"s
The Snowy Day and newer books like Anna Dewdney"s Llama Llama series.
     Satisfied, the couple set up the Richter Family Foundation and got to work. Since 2004, they have shipped
more than 12,200 books to preschoolers in their in their area. Megan Williams, a mother of four, is more than
appreciative:"This program introduces us to books I"ve never heard of."
     The Richters spend about $400 a month sending books to 200 children. "Some people sit there and wait
to die," says Tim. "Others get as busy as they can in the time they have left."
1. What led Tim think seriously about the meaning of life?
A. His health problem.
B. His love for teaching.
C. The influence of his wife.
D. The news from the Web.
2. What did Tim want to do after learning about Imagination Library?
A. Give out brochures.
B.Do something similar.
C. Write books for children.
D. Retire from being a teacher.
3. According to the text, Dollly Parton is _____. 
A. a well-known surgeon
B. a mother of a four-year-old
C. a singer born in Tennessee
D. a computer programmer
4. Why did the Richters go to Dollywood?
A. To avoid signing up online.
B. To meet Dollywood board members.
C. To make sure the books were the newest.
D. To see if the books were of good quality.
5. What can we learn from Tim"s words in the last paragraph?
A. He needs more money to help the children.
B. He wonders why some people are so busy.
C. He tries to save those waiting to die.
D. He considers his efforts worthwhile.
