How was that 39 in one of the most expensive cities in the world?

【小题1】A【小题1】A
解析【小题1】B。she她。她开始独自居住在纽约市，在一家出版社找了一份工作。
【小题1】A。根据后面的but the salary was …意为“薪水是……”可知是找到了工作。因此tried“尝试”，asked for“请求”，looked for“寻找，(强调动作)”都不符合，found为find的过去式，意为“找到(强调结果)”符合句意。
【小题1】A。但Sarah能够靠她的薪水（salary）生活。
【小题1】B。根据上文可知此处句意为“在世界上消费最贵的城市之一，那怎么可能？”所以，difficult“困难的”，useful“有用的”，different“不同的”不符合句意，possible“可能的”符合。
【小题1】D。share sth with sb和某人分享某物。因此Sarah选择和其他3个朋友共住一间公寓。
【小题1】A。根据后面讲述的关于她吃饭方面的事情，可以推测出这里是说“她接下来最大的花费是食物”。
【小题1】C。后面是描述Sarah某次吃饭的经历，所以用once“一次”，其他选项soon“不久”，finally“最后”，again“又；再”不符合。
【小题1】B。根据句意判断，此处是说“她把骨头带回家，用他们做汤”。其他动词无此意。
【小题1】C。spend some money on sth.意为“在某事上花费金钱”。
【小题1】D。考查词组walk around意为“四处走走；四处转转”。
【小题1】A。even甚至。她甚至两次成功的旅游。
【小题1】A。根据短文最后一句It’s a kind of game,“这是一种游戏”，可知Sarah认为节约花钱不是一件困难的（hard）事情。

I had my first job at the age of thirteen, when a friend of my mother’s who owned a book shop hired（雇佣） me for six hours a week to help her in the shop. I was very 1 to earn my own pocket money and my parents 2 interfered（干涉）with how I spent it, even when I was spending it foolishly. They believed that by earning money, spending it, and learning from the 3 , I would become more mature（成熟的） and responsible about how to handle work, relationships with others, and money.
Like many American parents, my parents also let me and my brothers do things over which they 4 a great deal. When I was sixteen, for example, after I finished high school and before I entered university, I wanted to spend the summer months traveling around Europe. My mother was against the idea of my traveling alone at such a young age, but my father felt that it would be a great 5 for me. In the end, my father won the argument（争论） on the 6 that I limited（限定）my traveling to France, my mother’s home, where I had many uncles, aunts and cousins spread out through the country who could 7 shelter（住处）and help if I needed them.
Three years later, my younger brother decided to 8 a year off after his first year in university and travel through the United States and the Caribbean. Again my mother was very worried and not eager to see my brother leave school, but my father encouraged him and my brother had a(n) 9 year working his way on trains and ships to 10 passage to different ports and cities, and discovering many fascinating places and people.
These kinds of experiences are probably rare（稀少的）for children in many countries but in the US they are fairly common. Most parents start 11 their children at a young age to do small things by themselves. By the time they have finished high school, many American kids have already had part-time jobs, traveled around the US or other countries on their own, have selected the university they plan to attend and maybe even 12 on their future career, and so on.
