I'm taking a test and have to guess the right answer to the question after the article. Article: For me,my great moment came when I actually decided to accept an opportunity to teach English in Shanghai.There were times when I almost gave up because of fear.But in the end I came here. Last summer,a CanadianChinese woman who teaches in Shanghai just happened to come to the place where I was working in the Seattle area.We talked and I said I had always wanted to teach abroad.She said,"Come to our school.""Okay."I replied,but I wasn't sure if I meant it. We met later for coffee.She answered all of my questions about the school,and gave me the website address and the email address of the person to contact.It took six months for me to finally decide on the job. First of all,in Shanghai there are many western places to eat western food and lots of interesting things to do.Also,there is a great subway system with directions and stops posted in English.Finding your way around is a challenge in a new place.But that isn't hard here.Taxis are very cheap;you can always jump in one and get home.There are also a lot of westerners in Shanghai,so it is fairly easy to ask for directions.Young Chinese people are much more likely to speak English and they are wonderfully helpful. I earn almost $1,000 per month and live in a nice rentfree apartment.My biggest expense has been food as I am a vegetarian and also on a diet.I still have not got used to the traditional Chinese food,but if you like it,you'll be in heaven. Here I have a good place to live in,new friends,a high salary,and a good job.In the US,getting a job at my age has been next to impossible for a woman. Question: We can infer that at first the writer _ . Options: A: wasn't interested in teaching abroad at all B: wasn't sure whether to accept the job to teach in China C: knew she would be popular as a teacher in China D: thought the CanadianChinese woman was joking

I'm taking a test and have to guess the right answer to the question after the article. Article: Jane arrives at Thornfield, having been met at the George Inn. Mrs. Fairfax confuses her a little at first, because _ is so informal and welcoming. But in due course Jane discovers that Mrs. Fairfax is the housekeeper. Jane's pupil, Adele Varens, is the eight-year-old French child under the legal protection of Mr. Edward Rochester, the owner of the house. (We learn later that her mother had claimed she was his illegitimate daughter. Mr. Rochester is not convinced by this claim, but felt he could not leave the little girl poor when her mother died.) Adele is a pleasant little girl, even if she is not a particularly eager student. Life goes on very peacefully for three months, until the return of Mr. Rochester. Jane first meets him on his horse, and her description of him is quite fanciful. He takes a fall and Jane helps him, although she does not know who he is until they are both back at Thornfield. It is obvious to the reader, although not to Jane, that the reason why Mr. Rochester stays at Thornfield much longer than usual is that he finds her company enjoyable. Jane, unknowingly at first, falls in love with him. Their closeness is very apparent. There is something about Thornfield that is mysterious. Jane is encouraged to focus her attention on the servant Grace Poole, who is Mr. Rochester's mad wife Bertha Mason's keeper at Thornfield, and whose drunken carelessness frequently allows Bertha to escape and do something violent. It is clear to the reader, though, that Mr. Rochester's emotional engagement is immense. When his bed is set on fire, Jane rescues him, but does not understand why the matter is not pursued, despite Mr. Rochester assuring her the criminal is Grace. The next morning Grace behaves as though she has done nothing wrong. Eventually, Mr. Rochester leaves, to go to a house party. He brings everyone at the party back with him, transforming the atmosphere in the house, and delighting Adele. One of the guests is Blanche Ingram, whom Mr. Rochester is confidently expected to marry. However, it... Question: Why is Mrs. Reed bitter towards Jane? Options: A: Because Jane inherited Mr. Reed's fortune. B: Because Jane didn't get along well with her cousins. C: Because Jane's mother was more beautiful than Mrs. Reed. D: Because Mr. Reed loved Jane more than his own children.
