Im not a football commentator(评论员),thoughjust an English teacher in Japan. I came to Japan two years ago, and didnt think

9、I would stay, but Japan has that effect on you. People often end up living here longer than they planned. I think its best to teach in a biggest 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. Man

10、y people choose to live in Tokyo, of course, which is good for the nightlife factor. But Id 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 Im my own boss. If you want to devote y

11、ourself to private teaching, its 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

12、 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 offeven teachers with tickets for the England-Argentina game had

13、 trouble getting the day off.56. From the passage we know in Japan the write likes to live in_. A. Tokyo B. a small town C. a city of middle size D. a big city57.

15、uctant”in the passage may probably mean_. A. kind B. unwilling C. free D. carelessBAs skies are filled with millions of migrating(迁徙)birds, European scientists say the seasonal wonder appears to be strange: The fatter the bird, the better it flies. The results of their study led to a theory opposite

16、 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 knoll wading birds double their normal body weight of 100 grams before ma

17、king 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 birds air st

18、ream. 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

19、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 spe

20、cial water into the birds bodies so that they could measure the amount of energy burnt during the flight.60.

41、ime. The Flood Warning team in Kent has also sent letters to the people living close to the rivers or the sea and invited them to join the AVM(automated voice messaging)system. Anyone choosing to take up this free service will receive a recorded message directly to their home, business or pager tell
