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, 小题1:______I might have a better chance to find a good job. 小题2: ______ (earn) some money to pay the daily expenses, I started work in a local café as a waiter. I believe that小题3:______ ______ ______ 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 小题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 小题5:______ I want to have a better career advancement, I had to find work in the city. Perhaps 小题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小题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 小题8:______I realize that a quiet town life was the best for me. |

解析
试题分析：文章介绍作者大学毕业后为了有机会找到更好的工作。到了纽约，临时在一个咖啡店做服务员，但是一直都没有再找到适合的工作，生活的压力使他疲惫，最终回到原来的小镇，发现这才是最适合自己的。
小题1:我决定到纽约，在那里我可能会有机会找到更好的工作。这里使用定语从句，先行词是New York,定语从句中缺少地点状语，用where 引导定语从句。
小题2:为了挣钱付日常开销，我开始在当地咖啡店做服务员。这里用不定式做目的状语，填To earn
小题3:我相信只要我被提供一个好的职位，我就立刻辞职。考查连词：“只要，一旦”“as soon as/ as long as”。
小题4:过了一段时间，高生活成本在我已经疲惫的肩膀成了一个负担。考查形容词“疲惫的”：exhausted
小题5: 妈妈说过，如果我想有个更好的事业的进步，我就得到城市里面找工作。这里需要连词“如果”：if
小题6:妈妈说的话深深的扎根到我的思想中了。What引导的是主语从句。
小题7:很显然我适应城市的生活有困难。这里使用了have difficulty in doing sth，所以填动名词：adapting
小题8:直到我回来我才发现安静的小镇生活对我才是最好的。Not until放在句首，后面的主句要倒装。用助动词did提到主语前面。 |

Villagers have long been used to facing a drive when they run out of basic supplies. However, help is now nearer at hand in form of the country’s first automatic push-button shop. Now residents in the Derbyshire Village of Clifton can buy groceries around the clock after the huge vending was installed outside a pub in the village this week.
Peter Fox, who is小题1:______electrical engineer, spent two and a half years working on the project. The machine 小题2:______ (equip) with securing cameras and alarms and looks like a mini shop with a brick front, a grey roof and a display window.
Mr. Fox said he hoped his invention, 小题3:_____ is set to be installed in other villages in the area over the coming months, will mark a return to convenience shopping for rural communities.
He said:“ I had this idea a few years ago but I couldn’t find a manufacture who could deliver what I wanted, so I did it by 小题4:_____. The result is what amounts to huge outdoor vending machine. Yet I think the term “automatic shop” is far 小题5:______ (appropriate)
In recent years, the commercial pressure from supermarket chains小题6:______ force village shops across the country to close. In 2010, it was estimated that about 400 village shops closed, 小题7:______ (urge) the local government to give financial support to struggling shops or set-up new communities stores.
Hundreds of communities have since stepped in and opened up their won volunteer-run shops, but Mr. Fox hopes his new invention will offer a solution小题8:______these villages without a local shop. |

Let"s say you"ve decided you want to eat more healthfully. However, you don"t have time to carefully plan menus for meals or read food __小题1:__ at the supermarket. Since you really__小题2:__ yourself to a healthier lifestyle, a little help would come in handy, wouldn"t it? This is where a "choice architect" can help__小题3:__some of the burden of doing it all yourself. Choice architects are people who organize the contexts in which customers make decisions. For example, the person who decides the layout of your local supermarket-including which shelf the peanut butter goes on, and how the oranges are piled up—is a choice architect.
Governments don"t have to__小题4:__healthier lifestyles through laws for example, smoking bans. Rather, if given an environment created by a choice architect-one that encourages us to choose what is best-we will do the right things. In other words, there will be designs that gently push customers toward making healthier choices, without removing freedom of choice. This idea combines freedom to choose with__小题5:__hints from choice architects, who aim to help people live longer, healthier, and happier lives.
The British and Swedish governments have introduced a so-called "traffic light system" to __小题6:__foods as healthy or unhealthy.

The customer is given important health information, but is still free to decide what to choose. |
