Getting paid to talk about the World Cup is a great job. I’m not a football commentator(评论员)，though--- 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 best 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.

1.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

2.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

3.The underlined sentence in the second paragraph implies 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

4.The underlined word” reluctant” in the passage may probably mean________.

A. kind           B. unwilling         C. free          C. careless

They wear the latest fashions with the most up-to-date accessories(配饰)．Yet these are not girls in their teens or twenties but women in their sixties and seventies．A generation which would once only wear old-fashioned clothes is now favoring the same high street looks worn by those half their age．

Professor Julia Twiggy, a social policy expert，said，“Women over 75 are now shopping for clothes more frequently than they did when they were young in the 1960s．In the 1960s buying a coat for a woman was a serious matter．It was an expensive item that they would purchase only every three or four years—now you can pick one up at the supermarket whenever you wish to．Fashion is a lot cheaper and people get tired of things more quickly．”　 Professor Twiggy analyzed family expending data and found that while the percentage of spending on clothes and shoes by women had stayed around the same—about 5 or 6 percent of spending，the amount of clothes bought had risen sharply．

The professor said，“Clothes are now 70 percent cheaper than they were in the 1960s because of the huge expansion of production in the Far East．In the 1960s Leeds was the heart of the British fashion industry and that was where most of the clothes came from，but now almost all of our clothes are sourced elsewhere．Everyone is buying more clothes but in general we are not spending more money on them．’’

Fashion designer Angela Barnard，who runs her own fashion business in London，said older women were much more affected by celebrity style than in previous years．She said,“When people see stars such as Judi Dench and Helen Mirren looking attractive and fashionable in their sixties，they want to follow them．Older women are much more aware of celebrities．There’s also the boom in TV programmers showing people how they can change their look，and many of my older customers do yoga to stay in shape well in their fifties．When I started my business a few years ago，my older customers tended to be very rich，but now they are what I would call ordinary women. My own mother is 6l and she wears the latest fashions in a way she would never have done ten years ago．”

1.It can be concluded that old women tend to wear the latest fashions today mainly because___________．

A．they get tired of themselves more quickly

B．TV shows teach them how to stay in shape

C.　 they feel much younger now

D．clothes are much cheaper than before

2.What can we learn about old women in terms of fashion?

A．They are often ignored by fashion designers．

B．They are now mole easily influenced by stars．

C．They are regarded as pioneers in the latest fashion．

D．They are more interested in clothes because of their old age．
