I felt like I had clicked my heels three times and come to a country away from home every morning as I walked through the doors at the Embassy of Australia in Washington. Musical Aussie accents, and Aboriginal art exhibits made me wonder if I had entered without a visa. In fact I was a temporary employee, a public affairs unpaid intern(实习) for three months during the summer in order to engage myself in the culture of the country where I planned to study the next spring.
During the summer I read the Australian news every day. Working at the embassy allowed me to escape the U.S. for six hours per day and learn about what was going on across the planet. After reading the daily Australian and U.S. news I usually helped prepare a PowerPoint presentation for school kids who visited the embassy as part of a school activity. Depending on whether an embassy event was going on, I would attend weekly meetings to listen in on planning and see what I could do to help. Usually there were smaller tasks to be done such as creating visitors' guides.
The most fantastic event in which I participated was the visit of the Australian prime minister. As the only American among countless Australian media and staff, I felt comfortable and was kept busy taking pictures and recording door-stop interviews at famous sites such as the Capitol. But as an intern, you will not be inside, exposed to top-secret information, when it comes to special events.
Government work is a useful addition to one's experience. As an embassy employee you will gain invaluable knowledge while spending your summer in a culturally diverse workplace.
1.What is the author talking about?
A. Her embassy internship. B. Her trouble in finding a job.
C. Her foreign culture experience. D. Her preparation for future employment.
2.Why was the author in the Embassy of Australia for three months?
A. To apply for a visa. B. To prepare to study in Australia.
C. To record musical Aussie accents. D. To appreciate Aboriginal art exhibits.
3.What was the author forbidden to do when the Australian prime minister visited America?
A. Record door-stop interviews. B. Know top-secret information.
C. Take pictures of special events. D. Stand among the Australian staff.
4.What can we infer about her daily routine at the Embassy?
A. It is tiring. B. It is boring.
C. It is exciting. D. It is relaxing.

Dear Jim,
So glad that you are interested in my new flat. Now I would like tell you something about it. Locating in the north of the city, this Residential Center is small with only six building. My flat, which covers the area of 36 square meters, is in the fourth floor in Building 2. It consisted of a sitting room, a bedroom, a kitchen and a toilet. When you enter into the flat, you will find yourself in the sitting room. The sitting room is the part that I like best, because it is brightly with a lovely balcony, which I can enjoy the beautiful garden below. Although my flat is small, I like them very much because it is comfortable.
Best regards,

Every boy and every girl are eager for success. But what can we succeed in life? Here are my opinions:
First, we must be friendly and kindly. It allows us to make friends but survive wherever we are. Second, we must set a goal, which motivates us to pursue our dreams. Third, it’s better to believe in us. Only with self-confidence we realize our goals. Fourth, we should develop good characters, such as a strong will and diligence, because good qualities help us to hold on to our dreams since we get into the trouble.
As far as I’m concerning, success belongs to those who keep on trying. So let’s take actions now!
