1. To determine the correct answer in this multiple-choice question, we can analyze the given options and look for clues within the question itself. The first option states that a student who "toiled at school" would probably get good grades. Since the word "toiled" suggests putting in a lot of effort and hard work, it aligns with the idea of achieving good grades through dedication and study. On the other hand, the second option suggests playing sports, which is unrelated to academic performance, and the third option implies getting into trouble rather than achieving good grades.
Therefore, based on the language used and our understanding of the question, it is reasonable to conclude that the correct answer is the first option: a student who toiled at school would probably get good grades.
2. To answer this question, we need to carefully read the provided paragraph from "Coming to America" and consider the context.
In the paragraph, Jin Hua explains that people in her hometown had a positive perception of America, believing it to be a "wonderland" where one could have a good life. She expresses her own excitement upon arriving in New York City and how she expected her life to change for the better. The question asks why Jin Hua began her account in this way.
After analyzing the possible answer choices, we can see that the first option suggests that Jin Hua wanted readers to understand what she had expected and how it differed from what she found. This aligns with the information provided in the paragraph, where Jin Hua describes her initial optimism and anticipation upon arriving in America. She sets up this contrast between her expectations and the reality to help readers understand her experience.
Therefore, the correct answer is the first option: she wanted readers to understand what she’d been expecting and how it differed from what she found.
