19、y those, like Kassidy Owen, who escaped with their lives.“Its strange to hear the silence,” Owen said, “because all I remember was the noise.” The 22-year-old was one of dozens of concertgoers who returned to the scene of the Route 91 Harvest festival on Wednesday morning to fetch the vehicles they
20、left behind as they fled from a gunman raining down bullets from high above in the tower of the Mandalay Bay Resort and Casino across the street.

27、early show who I am. Let me explain: When I go back to the US, I meet all my old friends. Some are stressed, exhausted and generally unhappy. They are stuck in jobs they dont love that they do only to pay the bills. Even the ones making good money dont even have the time to spend it and enjoy themse
28、lves. If I were in the US and I was working as a teacher, accountant, lawyer or so on, then that would be my job more or less for the next 30 to 40 years.

29、民）. I know many friends, both Chinese and expats, who changed careers because they wanted something new and it didnt require going back to university four more years.

Because its even harder for them to earn money in the US now. C. Because they have no ability to explore their other talents.D. Bec
34、ause they cant get away from the work they dont enjoy. 34. What does the underlined word “fluid” in Paragraph 3 mean?A. Strict. B. Fixed. C. Changeable. D. Exciting. 35.

35、A place short of jobs.EI still remember my first time going to the Chinese companys canteen. When I stepped onto the elevator, each one was full of people. 36 However, there was no sign of fire and people were laughing and talking.

36、urred to me that in China everyone takes lunch at the same time. 37 The cafeteria followed this schedule, only being open a few hours per day. When I stood in the doorway, I realized I had to act fast or I would be left behind. 38 Ever yone lines up and takes a tray but instead of silverware, there
37、are chopsticks and soup spoons. As I was pushed along the line, I saw dishes I didnt recognize and as people cut in line and picked up dishes left and right. 39 I ended up going with a pork and cucumber dish and a tofu salad. I have been at my company for over a year and a half. 40 I have learned wh
38、at dishes I like, mostly by trial and error, and a lot of the workers know me and say hello.I am still getting used to eating lunch at “lunch time”, but I think the schedule definitely helps keep me on track during the day.
