Over time, the high cost of living became a little burden on my already 【小題4】 ______ (exhaust) shoulder. On the other hand, my search for a respectable job had not met with much success. As I had studied literature at university, I found it quite difficult to secure a suitable job in big companies. Mother had just said that 【小題5】______ I want to have a better career advancement, I had to find work in the city. Perhaps 【小題6】______my mother had told me was deeply rooted in my mind. I just did as she had expected.
Soon I had lived in the city for over six months but I still did not like it. Apparently, I had difficulty【小題7】______ (adapt) myself to life in the city, let alone finding a job to my delight. After nine months of frustration, I eventually decided to go back to my small town. Not until I returned 【小題8】______I realize that a quiet town life was the best for me.

解析試題分析：文章介紹作者大學(xué)畢業(yè)后為了有機(jī)會(huì)找到更好的工作。到了紐約，臨時(shí)在一個(gè)咖啡店做服務(wù)員，但是一直都沒(méi)有再找到適合的工作，生活的壓力使他疲憊，最終回到原來(lái)的小鎮(zhèn)，發(fā)現(xiàn)這才是最適合自己的。
【小題1】我決定到紐約，在那里我可能會(huì)有機(jī)會(huì)找到更好的工作。這里使用定語(yǔ)從句，先行詞是New York,定語(yǔ)從句中缺少地點(diǎn)狀語(yǔ)，用where 引導(dǎo)定語(yǔ)從句。
【小題2】為了掙錢(qián)付日常開(kāi)銷，我開(kāi)始在當(dāng)?shù)乜Х鹊曜龇⻊?wù)員。這里用不定式做目的狀語(yǔ)，填To earn
【小題3】我相信只要我被提供一個(gè)好的職位，我就立刻辭職�？疾檫B詞：“只要，一旦”“as soon as/ as long as”。
【小題4】過(guò)了一段時(shí)間，高生活成本在我已經(jīng)疲憊的肩膀成了一個(gè)負(fù)擔(dān)�？疾樾稳菰~“疲憊的”：exhausted
【小題5】 媽媽說(shuō)過(guò)，如果我想有個(gè)更好的事業(yè)的進(jìn)步，我就得到城市里面找工作。這里需要連詞“如果”：if 
【小題6】媽媽說(shuō)的話深深的扎根到我的思想中了。What引導(dǎo)的是主語(yǔ)從句。 
【小題7】很顯然我適應(yīng)城市的生活有困難。這里使用了have difficulty in doing sth，所以填動(dòng)名詞：adapting
【小題8】直到我回來(lái)我才發(fā)現(xiàn)安靜的小鎮(zhèn)生活對(duì)我才是最好的。Not until放在句首，后面的主句要倒裝。用助動(dòng)詞did提到主語(yǔ)前面。

There are a number of advantages when it comes to living alone. However, it also comes with a few safety concerns. You still never know who will be around the corner. Don’t become another victim; be sure to follow our tips.
1. All doors should be kept locked.
Always keep your doors locked when you are in your apartment or dorm. Make sure the doors are closed behind you when you come into the building and never leave your room unlocked, even when you are in it. There’s always a chance that someone might sneak in while you are unaware. Always try to remember to close doors behind you to ensure your safety.
2. Don’t lose your keys.
Even if you do everything you can to keep the doors locked, criminals might still be able to come into your house with a key. Always know where your keys are to prevent this. Never put them down in a public place or give them to friends. Also, before you bring your car into the repair shop, take off the house keys.
3. When it comes to safety, standing up for yourself is important.
If you aren’t getting all the security features you want, don’t be afraid to ask. If your lighting situation is less than ideal, discuss this with your supervisor or landlord. Talk to the campus security organization if you think a security phone near your dorm is a good idea. Request that the building employ someone to monitor those entering and leaving the building. You should feel safe where you reside (居住于), so stand up for your rights.
4. Be careful.
You still might find yourself in a potentially dangerous situation. Check your peephole (窺視孔) before letting anyone in. Whenever you witness something around your building that makes you uncomfortable or suspicious just dial 911. It is a good idea to always walk with a friend instead of alone. Become familiar with people who live in the building, so you can keep track of anyone that is a stranger.

HARVARD, the top university in the United States, is a dream place for many students. Imagine being able to see how unique Harvard students are. Asking them what they learn. And how their classes are conducted.
This month, 300 students from different parts of China had an opportunity to spend a week with Harvard students. They gathered in the High School Attached to Fudan University in Shanghai where the Harvard College Association for US-China Relations Summit for Young Leaders in China (HSYLC 2007) took place. Over 40 Harvard undergraduates took part in it!
Around 2,000 Chinese students applied online for the program, which included various activities. Wang Wenjing, 17, from Shanghai Jingye High School was one of the 300 participants to be selected.
Seminars (研討會(huì))
Every day, the schedule was very busy filled with seminars, lectures, workshops (研習(xí)班), games and parties. Wang liked the seminars most.
Seminars are small classes with no more than 10 students. Wang could choose six from 40 different seminars to attend. A Harvard student led each one.
"They explored international issues such as US immigration (移民). We were allowed lively discussion and sometimes the only thing we did in a class was debate," Wang said. "To prepare for the next seminar, we often stayed up late doing research. No one could keep silent and it was fun to share ideas with others."
Celebrities’(名人) lectures
Each day, two or three lectures were given. Wang was excited that the lecturers were famous figures that before she had only seen on TV.
"I finally know why people are crazy about Yi Zhongtian. He is intelligent and eloquent (有口才的). Pu Bajia taught me how to overcome difficulties and plan for the future. All the lectures were inspiring," she said.
At the closing ceremony, Wang and her partner from Nanjing presented their workshop project. It was a survey of how Chinese view Americans, as an article about how Americans view Chinese is popular on the Internet.
"The program taught me what I could not otherwise learn in the classroom. Harvard students also let me know how important to be creative," she said.

Host family accommodation means that hosts treat the student as a full member of the household, eating together with the student and sharing the common living areas with him/her. No more than three adult students or four junior students will be accommodated in host family accommodation at one time.
Host family accommodation remains popular among international students. It is the most economical and beneficial accommodation for any student. It is also the best way to practise English and learn new cultures. As a result, it is often seen as the number-one choice for its advantages in language study, cultural communication and cost of living. Staying alongside host family enables students to get enough practice during the short time of their study so that their language acquisition is likely to become faster. Living in host families, students are able to spend a lot of time communicating with their “host parents”, who are often very hospitable and friendly, and get to know the local way of life, people and culture. Most host families are always ready to help students out in any situation. Often the bonds that are made between international students and their host families endure many years, and are maintained through letters and e-mails. Another advantage is that host family accommodation can sometimes be the least expensive. It attracts students as it ensures them a family type of living at a low cost.
The advantages, however, have not prevented host families from worrying. On the one hand, some host families are losing their unique selling point. One problem is that the majority of hosts in big cities, now generally single and young, have less time available for international students, but the selling point for host family accommodation is communication practice. On the other hand, students’ expectations have risen. They are becoming more demanding and asking for more than ever from their accommodation, as they come mainly from high socio-economic groups in their own countries.
To get out of the difficult situation, host families are now making efforts to improve the quality of service. They are trying to make living conditions better, including broadband Internet service, private bathroom, and access to plenty of hot water for long showers. They are also providing students with structured family activities.
It is believed that host family accommodation will keep the popularity vote with international students.

I have a friend who had financial problems and needed my help occasionally.
He was in his final year in University while I was in my third year. He needed some money for school fees and other academic purposes, and he came to me. Being a student， ______，but I gave him what he needed on the agreement that he would pay back. I didn’t bother him after that. I never asked when he’d pay back.
Later on，after he finished school，he got into another period of deep financial stress and called me on the phone. He asked to borrow some more money，promising that he’d pay all of it back once he landed a job. Out of kindness，I still gave him the exact amount he needed，which was twice the amount I had given him initially. He was so grateful. It’s so hard to find someone willing to lend you that amount of money，even with interest.
Fast forward a few months later. One evening，I was feeling happy and love filled my heart. I felt like performing a special act of kindness. And then I thought，“Why not cancel my friend’s debt? Things are so difficult for him，you know? ”So I called him up and told him I had canceled his debt. He was shocked! He couldn’t believe it. He was so happy and later sent me a message of heart-felt gratitude.
Me too! And I felt grateful for his gratitude.
In life，it is the small but powerful actions of love that matter. When life is over，that’s what counts.
