Getting paid to talk about the World Cup is a great job. I’m not a football commentator（評論員）,but just an English teacher in Japan.

I came to Japan two years ago, and didn’t think I would stay, but Japan has that effect on you. People often end up living here longer than they planned. I think it’s better to teach in a bigger city where there are other foreigners to mix with, rather than a small town where English teachers often complain of feeling like a goldfish in a bowl. Many people choose to live in Tokyo, of course, which is good for the nightlife factor. But I’d say that for general quality of living, cities of neither too large nor too small, like Sapporo where I live, are better choices.

I teach English privately, which means I’m my own boss. If you want to devote yourself to private teaching, it’s well worth doing a TEFL course first, because your lessons will be much better for it. The problem with private teaching is finding students; it took me a year to build up a full schedule（日程表）of private lessons, so I started out teaching in schools part time.

Most of my foreign friends here work full-time for big English conversation schools. The salary is fine to live on. But whether you can save money depends on how much going out and traveling you do here.

The schools are reluctant to take time off-even teachers with tickets for the England-Argentina game had trouble getting the day off.

60、From the passage we know in Japan the writer likes to live in       .

A、Tokyo       B、a small town     C、a city of middle size     D、a big city

61、According to the writer, one had better     first to do private teaching better.

A、take a TEFL course     B、decide his or her own lessons

C、find students          D、build up a full schedule

62、The underlined sentence in the second paragraph implies （暗示）that     .

A、there are many foreigners in Japan    

B、Japan is good for nightlife

C、they can teach English privately in Japan

D、Japan has something more attractive than expected

63、The underlined word “reluctant” in the passage may probably means     .

A、kind     B、unwilling     C、free     D、careless

When traveling abroad, it is wise to carry your money in traveler's checks because checks are protected against loss or theft. If your checks are lost or stolen, the issuing authority will refund(賠償) your money.

Not only are they safe, they are also convenient. They are available in different currencies(貨幣) and they can be cashed at most banks throughout the world. Most shops, hotels and restaurants also accept them. Traveler's checks are very easy to use. When you collect them, you sign each check once. The cashier enters the amount in your passport. When you cash, you sign each check again. The cashier will usually ask to see your passport again too.

To get traveler's checks you usually go to your bank. They can be paid in cash or in other ways. Large amounts, however, must be ordered in advance.

       If you are a recent social science graduate who has had to listen to jokes about unemployment from your computer major classmates, you may have had the last laugh. There are many advantages for the social science major because this high-tech "Information Age" demands people who are flexible and who have good communication skills.

       There are many social science majors in large companies who fill important positions. For example , a number of research studies found that social science majors had achieved greater managerial success than those who had technical training or pre-professional courses. Studies show that social science majors are most suited for change, which is the leading feature (特點) of the kind of high speed, high-pressure, high-tech world we now live in.

       Social science majors are not only experiencing success in their long-term company jobs, but they are also finding jobs more easily. A study showed that many companies had filled a large percentage of their entry-level positions with social science graduates. The study also showed that the most sought-after quality in a person who was looking for a job was communication skills, noted as "very important" by 92 percent of the companies. Social science majors have these skills, often without knowing how important they are. It is probably due to these skills that they have been offered a wide variety of positions.

       Finally, although some social science majors may still find it more difficult than their technically trained classmates to land the first job, recent graduates report that they don' t regret their choice of study.
