I am from Siberia and I am now living in the US．My old friend，Valentina，came to visit me last week，and I decided to take her to visit the“Big Apple”．I stayed with Jonathan，the son of an American friend of mine．When Valentina and I were leaving for the“Big Apple”on the first morning，Jonathan asked us where we were going．I told him that we were going to see the“Big Apple”．
He asked me if I knew how to get there．He seemed surprised when I said that I didn’t know how to get there．
Then he asked me if I had a map and I said that I ________．He seemed shocked．
Then he invited us back to the house．He said he could draw us a map．Then we went into the living room．He carefully drew us a map and gave us very clear directions．
We explained to him that in Siberia we do not prepare for our trips like the Americans．Americans always take maps and make preparations before going out．We just ask people along the way until we arrive at the place．That’s what we were planning to do in New York：just ask people until we get to the“Big Apple”．However，that is clearly not the American Way．

查看习题详情和答案>>lived on a farm, in the winter especially, we were quite cut off from the outside world. As soon as I left
school, I packed my bags and moved to the capital. However, I soon discovered that my life has its
problems too.
One big disadvantage is money. It costs so much to go out, not to mention basics like food and
housing. Another disadvantage is pollution. I suffer from asthma(哮喘), and at times the air is so bad that
I am afraid to go outside. Then there is the problem of traveling round. Although I have a car, I seldom
use it because of the traffic jams. One choice is to go by bicycle, but that can be quite dangerous.
Of course there are advantages. First, there is so much to do in the city, whatever you tastes in culture or entertainment(娱乐活动). Besides, there are wonderful jobs and greater chances of moving to a more
important job or position. Finally, if you like shopping, the variety of goods is very surprising-and, what is more, shops are often only a short walk away.
Is life better then, in the city? Perhaps it is, when you are in your teens(十几岁)or twenties. However, as you get older, and especially if you have small children, the peace of the countryside may seem
preferable. I certainly hope to move back there soon.
B. Moving to the countryside.

查看习题详情和答案>>I usually go to the sports club to exercise before going to work. Every morning I see my friend Nicholas at the sports club. He is seventy-nine years old. I asked him, “What was the best time of your life?”
“When I was a child in Australia and was taken care of by my parents, that was the best time of my life. When I was going to school and learning the things, that was the best time of my life. When I got my first job and got paid for my work, that was the best time of my life. When I was a young father, watching my children grow up, that was the best time of my life. And now, Jack, I am seventy-nine years old. I have my health and feel good, this is the best time of my life.”
