阅读理解。     Britain"s oldest man made his first visit to London yesterday at the age of 110. Mr. John Evans had never
found the time or the money-to make the trip from his house near Swansea. But, when British Rail offered
him an all-expenses-paid birthday trip to the capital, he just could not refuse.
     Until yesterday he had never been far from home, except for one trip to Aberdeen. Mr. Evans, who spent
60 years working as a miner in South Wales, almost made the journey to London once before, at the turn of
the century. "There was a trip to the White City but it was ten shillings (1 shilling =1/20 pound) return from
Swansea-too much I thought. All my money went to the family then," he said.
     During the next two days Mr. Evans will be taken on a whistle-stop tour of London to see the sights. Top
of his list is a visit to the Houses of Parliament (国会).
     The only arrangement he does not care for is the wheelchair provided to move him about if he gets tired.
"I don"t like the chair business-people will so think I am getting old," he said.
      His secret for a long and healthy life has been well publicized-no alcohol, no cigarette and no angry. Before
setting off from Swansea with his 76-year-old son, Amwel, he quipped, "I"m glad to see they"ve given me a
return ticket." 1. It"s reported that Mr. Evans"s healthy long life was to a certain extent due to his _____. [     ]
A. wine drinking
B. proper smoking
C. mild temper
D. sense of humor 2. Which of the following statements is true? [     ]
A. A single trip from Mr. Evans"s house to the White City used to be ten shillings.
B. The first place for Mr. Evans to visit is the Houses of Parliament.
C. He appreciated people"s arrangement of a wheelchair during his visit
D. Mr. Evans once made the journey to London at the end of the century. 3. The word "quip" in the last sentence most probably means _____. [     ]
A. to make a witty remark
B. to express a happy message
C. to make a wish
D. to tell a joke 4. What might be the best title for this passage? [     ]
A. 110-year-old Tourist
B. Secret for Long and Healthy Life
C. Free Return Ticket
D. Sightseeing in London

     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
