Not many foreigners can say that they have lived in China for as long as I have. Perhaps some can hack(应对) it for about two or three years and then they want to either go back home or move on to another country. As for me, I cannot get 36 of this place. I love it here so much and I honestly believe that I am very fortable here. It feels just like 37. And, here 38 the story.
It was August 2001 and I had just said 39 to my family and friends as I 40 to Los Angeles International Airport to catch my 41 to Incheon, South Korea which would then 42 me to Beijing. When I arrived in LA I was very excited and a little 43 because I didn't know what to 44 when I arrived in China. It 45 like receiving a wrapped gift and you had no idea what was in it 46 you opened it. As I 47 the Korean Airlines 48 desk I gave the attendant(空乘人员) my ticket. He looked at me and said, I'm sorry, sir. This flight was yesterday. I was in 49 and lost for words. The attendant told me I had to wait several hours until they could 50 whether I could get onto another flight.
I was so afraid at this time that I called my mother and frantically(狂乱地) told her, I missed my flight! I don't think I can go to 51! I'm better off going back to Washington, DC! That's when she 52 I call my leader in China and ask whether I could still go there. Looking 53 all of the papers I found a phone number and called the Beijing office. 54, my leader was there and assured me I could still join the group. Also, KAL had a seat for me on the next flight. So, after 24 hours and a 55 in Korea, I arrived in Beijing. I don't know what my feeling was, but I wasn't tired because I had finally arrived and I just wanted to look around the city. As I traveled to the hotel in the car I saw all the wonderful buildings, friendly people and interesting sites. I was so happy to be here.

【小题1】上下文，根据后面的I love it here so much and I honestly believe that I am very fortable here可知，作者总是感到不厌倦这里。
【小题2】上下文，作者感到喜欢这里，感觉这里像家一样
【小题3】常用搭配，故事是这样的，here goes the story，
【小题4】上下文，根据后文的as I 40 to Los Angeles International Airport 可知，作者即将坐飞机离开，所以是道别，说再见
【小题5】head for 出发前往，句意为，当我前往洛杉矶国际机场。
【小题6】上下文，作者前往机场是为了乘飞机，即赶航班catch flight
【小题7】上下文，因为作者最终是要去中国，所以此处指的是到达韩国后，那里的飞机带我去中国，lead 带领，引导
【小题8】上下文，根据后面的because I didn't know what to 44 when I arrived in China可知，作者对即将在中国有什么样的生活一无所知，所以有点紧张
【小题9】句意理解，作者不知道将会有什么样的生活让他去期待
【小题10】句意理解，这种紧张的感觉就好像受到了包裹但是不知道里面是什么。
【小题11】你不知道包裹里有什么，直到你打开它。
【小题12】上下文，根据后面的I gave the attendant(空乘人员) my ticket可知，作者此时在登机检查处，因此是当作者接近登机手续办理处的时候，工作人员说你的航班是昨天的。
【小题13】同上，check in desk 指的是登机手续办理处 ，因为作者在检票
【小题14】语境，当作者得知机票过期的时候，感到很震惊
【小题15】他们告诉我要等几个小时才可以向我确认/证实我是否能上另一班飞机。
【小题16】上下文，根据上文South Korea which would then 42 me to Beijing可知，作者最终的目的地是北京，中国
【小题17】上下文，根据后面的I call my leader in China可知，此处用的是虚拟语气，作者的母亲给他提出了一些建议。
【小题18】作者的母亲给了作者建议以后，作者开始浏览很多文件，寻找北京办事处的电话。
【小题19】上下文，根据后面的my leader was there and assured me I could still join the group可知，作者很幸运，
【小题20】stopover意为中途停留，此处指的是因为机票是昨天的而耽误的时间。
