阅读下列短文, 从所给的四个选项中, 选出最佳答案
There are many differences between the living conditions of people in the Los Angeles area and those of Topeka, Kansas. For example, the Los Angeles area offers many places to go and see, but in Topeka the places are limited. Places such as Disneyland and Knott's Berry Farm or even the mountains and ocean, which are common to Los Angeles, provide the area with entertainment, for example.
Another major contrast (对照) between the two geographic areas is in the field of job opportunities. Los Angeles has many industries, which in turn create job opportunities, but in the Topeka area there are only a few industries and thus few job opportunities. Also, the people working at their jobs in Topeka stay with the same job for many years because of the limited opportunity for advancement. By contrast, the job advancement opportunity in the Los Angeles area is much better because there are more jobs to begin with and, therefore, people will change jobs more freely.
An equally important contrast is the variation of shopping places. In Los Angeles anyone can shop around for the best deal before making a major purchase, such as a new car; in Topeka there are few shopping places, especially shopping centers and car dealers. Thus people in Topeka do not have the choice in the first place, nor can they make the deals that the people in Los Angeles can.
On the whole the Los Angeles area has many advantages over the entire Topeka, Kansas area.
(1) Which is the diagram showing the right relation of the places mentioned in the passage?
(Lo = Los Angeles Di = Disneyland To = Topeka Ka = Kansas)
[ ]
(2) Which is NOT talked about in the passage?
[ ]
A. There are many more places to visit in Los Angeles than in Topeka.
B. Los Angeles has a larger population than Topeka.
C. It is easier for one to find a job in Los Angeles than in Topeka.
D. It is more difficult for people in Topeka to change a job than those in Los Angeles.
(3) The reason for more job opportunities in Los Angeles than in Topeka is that __________.
[ ]
A. there is a major difference between the two geographic areas
B. there are more people in Los Angeles
C. there are many industries in Los Angeles
D. there are limited opportunities in Topeka
(4) In the writer's eyes, if you want to make a good choice before buying a new car, go to ___________.
[ ]
A. Los Angeles B. Topeka C. Disneyland D. Kansas
(5) According to the article, we believe __________.
[ ]
A. the writer likes Los Angeles best
B. the writer prefers life in Los Angeles to that in Topeka
C. the writer lives in Los Angeles
D. Topeka is better than Los Angeles

Renata Di Pietro was studying to be an opera singer. But at 23, while on a music scholarship at the University of Iowa in 1976, her sight began to fail. Soon, it became increasingly difficult to read scores and pick up hand signals from conductors, and the gifted singer was forced to drop out.
After moving to Cleveland, Georgia in 2005, Di Pietro relied on guide dogs to get around. Over the years, she became depressed when she’d lose one of the dogs, who had become her best friend, to old age or death. “It’s very painful, because you love each one,” she says.
In 2009, Di Pietro was intrigued by information from a friend that miniature horses typically live for at least 30 years and make calm and strong guides. She started with a male horse, but he was too hard to control. Angel came next, a mini white female horse Di Pietro has mostly trained herself. “Horses have the ability to avoid the things in the way,” she says. “If I am about to run into something, she slides her body in front of me.”
Di Pietro, now 59, has taught her guide horse to make some sounds with her hoof (马蹄)when she comes to stairs. “Angel can find a chair and locate the nearest door for me,” Di Pietro says. Currently, she’s training Angel to pull her wheelchair and to fetch.
Despite her disability, Di Pietro still sings, performing with her husband, musician Carl Hummer, at special events. Angel is always by her side. “I fight a battle every day to take courage to engage the world,” Di Pietro says. “Angel is my warhorse. We fight that battle together.”
1.Why did Di Pietro have to give up her studying in the university?
A.She disliked her major in music.
B.She failed to get high scores.
C.She couldn’t understand hand signals from conductors.
D.She found it difficult to see things clearly.
2.What does the underlined word “intrigued” in Paragraph 3 probably mean?
A.Puzzled. B. Interested. C. Satisfied. D. Frightened.
3.Angel can do a lot of things for Di Pietro now EXCEPT_________.
A.supporting her in case of her falling
B. helping her find a chair to sit on
C. keeping her company every day
D. fighting with her against others
4.Which of the following can best describe the author?
A.Caring and strong-minded. B. Honest and responsible.
C. Kind and helpful. D. Ambitious and sensitive.
