I thought if l could get an internship,可知，作者無意中聽到來自舊金山的一家大公司在自己所住酒店的隔壁開派對(duì)，她在想自己能否在那家公司得到一個(gè)實(shí)習(xí)的機(jī)會(huì)，因此，2011年作者去達(dá)拉斯是為了尋找一個(gè)實(shí)習(xí)機(jī)會(huì)，故選D。（2）考查細(xì)節(jié)理解。根據(jù)最后一段中的By leaving Texas, I learned that it is so much more rewarding to try the unfamiliar than to stay in the fortable.可知，作者認(rèn)識(shí)到嘗試不熟悉的東西比呆在舒適區(qū)更有意義，也就是說作者從這個(gè)經(jīng)歷中學(xué)到的最大的教訓(xùn)是跳出舒適區(qū)是有意義的，故選B。 （3）考查推理判斷。根據(jù)第三段中的I wasn39。t invited to the StubHub party.

If you plan to head to Paris for a study period, then perhaps a little reality check is in order. But my experience was a romantic one. I paved my path to Paris through an exchange program. On arrival in Paris, I was constantly reminded of the official processes I had to plete — forms to be filled in, meetings to attend, the list seemed endless. Then the real work began. Once classes were underway, I found myself volunteering to do oral presentations and assignments first, rather than last. This method proved to be very helpful. Once I had finished class for the week, I had an everincreasing list of museums to visit, neighborhoods to explore, and caf233。s to sit in. Read books about Paris. Talk to locals and other foreigners living there. But the one thing that reading a book or talking to someone cannot do is to provide you with the experience of wandering Paris on foot. The people watching, the sounds of the city, the colors as the seasons change, they all add to the ecstasy that I experience in Paris as an exchange student. After spending five months wandering through the charming neighborhoods, I fell in love with the atmosphere that came out from every open door, and with every spoken word. There is something forting about walking to the market each Sunday to enjoy the beautiful display of fruits, vegetables and dairy products. There is warmth in saying bonjour to the passersby. On my last day in Paris, I confidently said, Bonjour Monsieur, as I passed the little store down the street. I guess the best part about going on exchange in Paris is falling in love with the city in your own way. And I know mine is unique and special to me, my own little pieces of Paris.（1）What does the underlined word ecstasy in Paragraph 4 probably mean? A.Courage.B.Imagination.C.Happiness.D.Reputation.（2）What does the passage mainly tell us?
