Interviewer: And what happened Why didn’t you Tom: I haven’t got any right diplomas, and it would have taken me two years to be qualified. I was not going back to formal education again. Interviewer: So where did you decide to move Tom: I went right to Shropshire.

How did you start, had you got any skills Tom: (7[D])I’d always had a garden and grown some vegetables and flowers, (5[B]) so I thought of a small holding, a kind of farm. But when I looked at the price, I changed my mind. Interviewer: Ok, a farm’s out, so what next Tom: I settled on a nursery and bought my way into a partnership... Interviewer: Well, ladies and gentlemen, don’t go away — we are coming back to Tom’s story after the advertisements. 推理题。谈及搬迁的原因，汤姆说：说到找工作，我无法面对再回到—间办公室里(I just couldn’t face going back into an office again when…)，从中可以推断他失业了，所以要搬到乡下去。 document.getElementById("warp").style.display="none"; document.getElementById("content").style.display="block"; 查看试题解析出处>>
