                           My Stay in New York

    After graduation from university, I had been unable to secure a permanent job in my small town. So I decided to leave home for New York,I might have a better chance to find a good job.  (earn) some money to pay the daily expenses, I started work in a local café as a waiter. I believe that30. I was offered a good position, I would resign at once.

    Over time, the high cost of living became a little burden on my already   (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  I want to have a better career advancement, I had to find work in the city. Perhaps 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 (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 I realize that a quiet town life was the best for me.

举一反三
阅读下面材料,在空白处填入适当的内容(每空最多不超过3个单词)或括号内单词的正 确形式。

    Recently, an Internet slang word Foxi- or "Buddhist"- is becoming increasingly popular as it encourages people, especially {#blank#}1{#/blank#} young to remain calm and peaceful and avoid conflicts as much as possible- in other words, to live like a Buddha.

    The phrase {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (create) for the first time in 2014 in Japan to describe young men who no longer bother to start relationships with women or follow someone else's life path. They prefer to stay in their own peaceful world without {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (disturb) and care little about passion and success.

    In this fast-changing and {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (compete) world, many people are {#blank#}5{#/blank#} heavy pressure. It's only natural that people are seeking for a spiritual bay. However, some would compare "foxi" with "demotivational (无动力的) culture"- a phrase {#blank#}6{#/blank#}describes young people who feel aimless and powerless. They say that foxi actually reflects the reality {#blank#}7{#/blank#} young people are losing their will to fight. They are pretending {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (keep) a healthy and wise attitude towards failure simply because they are incapable(无能力的) of succeeding.

    All in all, there is one thing that "Buddhist Youngsters" should {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (basic) keep in mind: You may want to keep a calm mindset, {#blank#}10{#/blank#} you should never stop fighting for yourselves!
