Question

【题目】任务型阅读
Billy Smith loves water. His hobbies are swimming and diving (潜水). And he likes golf too. Billy's a very lucky man because his interests are part of his job.
Billy lives in the USA with his wife, Linda. They got married ten years ago. At that time, Billy worked in an office in New York. He worked with computers. He worked five days a week, from eight in the morning to seven in the evening. He hated his job. There was no time for diving or golf. Linda worked in a shop and she didn't like her boss (老板). She hated the cold winters in New York too. So Billy and Linda decided to leave their jobs in New York and buy a house in Florida. The weather is fantastic in Florida. The days are sunny and hot.
Now Billy goes diving every day and he goes to golf courses (球场) every day. But he doesn't play golf very much—he works at the golf course. He travels around Florida and he goes to lots of different golf courses. Sometimes Linda goes with him and sometimes she stays at home. There are lakes on many golf courses and Billy only goes to golf courses with lakes. Players often hit their golf balls into the water.
In his new job, Billy dives in the lakes for these golf balls. On some days, Billy collects two thousand golf balls. Linda has an office in their home and she works there. She sells the lost golf balls that Billy finds. For golfers, they are cheaper than new golf balls.
Both Billy and Linda are very happy now.

【解析】文章大意：Billy喜欢潜水和打高尔夫球，他现在的工作就是去各个高尔夫球场，去寻找落在湖里面的高尔夫球。她的妻子Linda在家有一个办公室，她的工作就是卖Billy捡到的球。
（1）根据短文中He hated his job. There was no time for diving or golf.可知，Billy不喜欢他过去在办公室的工作，因为他没有时间去做他喜欢的事，例如潜水和打高尔夫球。故答案是Because there was no time for diving and golf。
（2）根据短文第二段中The weather is fantastic in Florida. The days are sunny and hot.可知，佛罗里达的天气是非常迷人的，那里天气晴朗、炎热。故答案是It's fantastic/ I's sunny and hot.
（3）根据短文的第四段中Linda has an office in their home and she works there. She sells the lost golf balls that Billy finds可知，Linda在家里有一个办公室，她在家里工作，她去卖Billy在水里找到的高尔夫球。故答案是In their home。
