In Asia, there are many places for people to go to teach English. Most of the teachers are young and sociable, and there are a lot of parties there. Korea is usually the place where most people go, because they have the most benefits and highest salaries by working only twenty hours a week. Japan is also a good choice, but only if you stay there for a long time will you save some money.
China is a new rising star and lots of people are going there. Like Japan, the pay is quite good, but the cost of living in China is much cheaper. You can save a sizable amount and complete all your loans back home. Besides, Chinese people are enterprising(有进取心的) and you can learn a lot from them.
The Middle East offers very high salaries and great packages for teachers, all of which is tax free. However, you must be a certified teacher and have a few years’ experience if you want to teach there. Most of the people who tend to teach there are older and more conservative, so they don’t expect a party scene.
Italy and Spain are two beautiful countries where you can try your fortune. Fashion industry in Milan would love to hire well-known English-speaking people to work with international models and designers. Tourism is another industry in these countries, where English knowledge is useful. Moreover, by teaching in Europe you have the ability to travel every weekend to a new country and visit a new culture besides a good salary. Europe has a lot to offer.
Teaching English overseas is a really rewarding experience. It is a great way for people to see a new place, and these countries and places are great places for you to go if you are interested.
24. Why does saving money in Japan take more time?

【答案解析】
24. B。推理判断题。根据第二段中的“Like Japan, the pay is quite good, but the cost of living in China is much cheaper. ”可推知在日本教英语, 需要较长的时间才能积攒很多钱的原因是那里的生活成本太高。
25.C。词义猜测题。根据第三段最后一句中的“. . . so they don’t expect a party scene. ”这一因果关系可知年纪大的人不太爱交际, 所以不愿意参加一些社交活动。故C项符合题意。
26.A。细节理解题。文章介绍到的每一个国家或地区都提到给予很高的报酬, 因此答案为A; 选项B中涉及到的是韩国; 选项C的错误在于中东地区对老师的学位和教学经验有要求; 选项D的错误在于只有在提到米兰时才有机会与著名模特见面, 因为其服装业发达, 才需要懂英语的人和国际模特或服装设计师共事。
27.D。推理判断题。根据文章第一句话“In Asia, there are many places for people to go to teach English. ”以及每一段中提到的适合教英语的国家或地区可知答案为D。
