We wanted our son to grow up in a place where hed have a lot of recreational (娱乐的 ) activities. Canada was too cold and we werent interested in Australia so we started to look into New Zealand, Krunal said. After receiving our visas (签证), we arrived in Auckland in March 2009 without much of a plan. I found the job market to be difficult at the time. I have a Masters degree in Accounting (会计) and Finance(金融) and several years of experience as a manager in the financial field. I would spend about four to five hours a day applying for jobs when we first arrived. After several months of searching, I approached the Auckland Chamber of Commerce where I met New Kiwis（新西兰人） Employment Liaison Sheeam. She gave me a lot of guidance and helped me to target my job search. Sheeam also trained me through the inter-view process and within a week I secured a couple of interviews, Krunal said. Krunal accepted a job offer as Business Analyst in the Finance Department of West Coast District Health Board in December 2009. He and his family packed up and moved to Greymouth on the South Island. He said, We found housing quite easily and were amazed at how social the community was. In the first week neighbours were coming over and introducing themselves extremely different to the UK where I hardly knew my neighbour who lived next door to us for six years . Krunal is presently on a visa sponsored（担保）by his employer and wants to apply for Permanent Residence (永久居住) in the future. I love my job and its been an exciting challenge working in the health industry. Ive spent years in a commercial setting so Im learning something new every day. My workmates have been extremely helpful and welcoming. My family has settled in well and we enjoy raising our son in such a safe and secure environment. New Zealand is a beautiful country with plenty of chances for young families, Krunal said.64. The reason why the Shuklas decided to move into New Zealand is probably that . A. it is easy for them to make a living in New Zealand B. New Zealand is warmer than Canada and Scotland C. they are tired of living in Edinburgh, Scotland D. New Zealand is a suitable place for their son to grow up 65. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage? A. Krunal had no difficulty finding a job in New Zealand. . B. Krunal finally found a job m Sheeams company. C. Krunal had to move to South Island because of his work. D. Krunals family can live in New Zealand permanently. 66. According to Paragraph 4, we can know that . A. finding somewhere to live was difficult for the Shuklas B. people in New Zealand seem to be much friendlier C. people in the UK are not different from those in New Zealand D. the Shuklas lived in the UK for six years without knowing their neighbors 67. Whats Krunals attitude towards New Zealand? A Satisfied. B. Worried. C. Curious. . D. Unconcerned.D Education cuts have become routine(惯例) over the past few years, which has made it difficult for students to learn. The results of a survey of l,850 Los Angeles County high school students show just how much the cuts are affecting students. Thanks to teacher layoffs(解雇), class sizes at some high schools have risen to 50 students - even in math and English classes. Some 37 percent of students report that they sometimes dont have a desk to sit at. Sixty-seven percent say crowded classrooms make them feel like the teachers dont have enough time to teach, and 30 percent say theyve not been able to join in a program because its no longer offered at their school. At a time when technology is an important skill, 52 percent of students say there arent enough computers. Or theyre often broken, and theres no one to fix them. Fifty-one percent say theyve had to share textbooks with a classmate because there arent enough copies to go around. Fifty-seven percent say theyve had to copy information because their school doesnt have enough paper to make copies. We have only one science teacher for the entire high school, writes Felix Ruano, a 16-year-old student.He goes on to describe how that teacher, who is only qualified to teach chemistry, is teaching physics or, at least, is trying to do so. He shows physics videos and we teach ourselves from our textbook says Ruano. And, as has been seen elsewhere, all but one of the restrooms at Ruanos sch
