 A month ago, Jessie arrived in America for a year of Eng- lish study. Now she would meet Americans and  1  their eulture firsthand. She would improve her English ability day by day. And,just maybe, she would  2  "someone special".

     But that was a month ago. Since then, Jessie's bright  dreams had grown very  3  .

    The school was actually just a few rooms in an old building in  the same rundown neighborhood.  4  meeting Americans and  making friends, that was much  5  said than done Although  some of Jessie's classmates were  6  and outgoing,they were foreigners.  7  of the teachers seemed interested in spending time  with their  8  outside of class Where could Jessie find nice,trustworthy Americans to  9  to especially in that part of town?  She didn't know, so she spent most evenings alone in her room,  studying grammar and feeling  10   . 

"Maybe I'll go have some nooclles,'she thought. "That always  seems to help when I'm feeling  11  . "There was a fairly good  Asian noodle shop down the street. Before long, Jessie was slurping  a nice hot howl of beef noodle&    12  she was eating, a tall woman with blond hair entered  the shop. The woman sat down at the next table and  13  a bowl of noodle soup. She looked sad and fired, and Jessie felt  14  for  her.

    Jessie wanted to say something, to  15  to this woman  somehow. But what should she say? Finally, she said simply,

 "The noodles are good here, aren't they?"   

 The woman smiled and said, "They sure are."

    Thus began a one-hour  16  . Jessie learned that the  woman had recently lost both her husband and her job and was

 feeling depressed.  17  she told Jessie that just having someone to talk to really  18  . That was precisely the way Jessie

 felt about her own situation.

That conversation was great English  19  for Jessie. But more  20  , it was the beginning of a great friendship, and a great year.

1. A. experience         B. enter

  C. understand         D. study

答案:A  指导:Jessie初到美国,充满了理想,她既想跟美国人交朋友,又想“体验”美国文化。后面的firsthand"一手地、亲身地”也对此答案有一定的提示作用。B项enter当“进入”讲;D项study当“学习、研究”讲,从后面她想改进自己的英语这一点,可排除此选项,她到美国的主要目的是学习英语,而不是研究美国的文化;她人在美国,对美国文化不仅仅停留在“理解”的层面上,故排除C项。
