【解析】

【1】be busy with sth“忙于做某事”，由下文忘记生日，可知作者忙于教学。

【2】根据语境可知此处意为“今天就像是很普通的一天”，be like“像……”，符合语境。

【3】“I prefer it that way”意为“我更喜欢那种方式(过生日)”，下文提到年轻时曾经抱怨，但现在已不在乎了，其他选项放在此处则翻译不通。

【4】下句中有not even my family“甚至家人也不记得”，可知前半句应为“almost nobody remembered my birthday”。

【5】But表示转折，可知现在“我”已经不在意了(don’t care any more)。

【6】句意：从23到24，没有太多变化。由下句I’m just not a birthday or holiday person．也可以推断出答案。

【7】由下文“I give lessons privately”可知“I have several foreign students learning Chinese with me”。

【8】need to do quite a lot of work“需要做大量的工作”，而mean to do意为“打算”，不符合题意。

【9】由下文“I think it’s a very cool job”可知作者对教外国人汉语更感兴趣了(be interested in)。

【10】根据was可知是过去的事情了，选项中只有school符合，at school“在上学”，作者现在已经工作了，所以上学已经是过去的事情了。

【11】此处指，作者羡慕外国人可以去国外旅游并很容易找到当老师的工作。

【12】根据前后语境可知此处表示转折，意为“尽管(even though)他们不是真正的教师”。

【13】此处指作者抱怨中国人没有西方人那么多的机会。

【14】由下文“As China is becoming stronger…”可知事情正在发生变化。

【15】由下文“...I can get teaching jobs in foreign countries．”可知“汉语正变得越来越受欢迎”。
