    There are two reasons why I wanted to come to southern Germany to study. I wanted to be at the centre of Europe, within easy reach of other courtiers, and cities such as Paris and Prague. The other reason was that I was finding it very difficult to find a place to study medicine in Norway, where there are only three medical schools.
    I spent my last two years at a boarding school, where I made lots of friends and learned to look after myself and integrate with other people. I was 19 when I left, and those two years had changed me: I knew I could cope with student life in another country.
    First I had to learn German. I went Munich in September, a month before the term started, and spent three weeks on a language course. I stayed with a German family and was able to practice speaking the language with them. Nobody spoke Norwegian, of course, so it was a great help to find that there were other students from Norway at the university. I made friends with some of them and we were able to help one another during the first few weeks in a new city. After six months I moved into my own apartment: there is a wonderful mix of cultures and I have made many friends from different places. For three years I had a Norwegian boy friend who was also studying to be a doctor, but that ended when he left.
    I would recommend studying abroad to anyone. You get a chance to learn another language and to understand the culture and traditions of another country. Munich is a fantastic city for students, especially as beer is the favourite drink of students everywhere. I didn’t like beer before, but if you live in Munich, there really is no alternative, and now I have acquired the taste. In winter I prefer to visit cafes and talk with friends, but in summer my favourite place is the Eng-lisher Garten, with its lake and park and lots of bars. The city’s beer halls are generally full of students and tourists.
    At weekends I often go skiing in the Austrian Alps with friends. We pile into a couple of cars and rent an apartment. This all costs money, and, like most students, I am living on a loan from the government. By the time I take my final exams I shall have a big debt which must be repaid with interest. If I can’t find work, I shall have serious problems. I hope to get a job in a hospital near Oslo. I worked there last summer, while earning the money to go to Nepal, Thailand and Vietnam for three months.
    We are a medical family. My mother and elder sisters are nurses, but my father is the odd one out: he runs a hairdressing salon.

Answer the following questions according to the passage.
What makes Mariann be accustomed to drinking beer?

选项

答案Almost all people in Munich drink beer.

解析 (第四段第三句提到“especially as beer is the favourite drink of students everywhere”,可知在Munich几乎人人喜欢喝啤酒。下一句Mariann表示她起初并不喜欢喝啤酒,但是因为住在Munich,所以别无选择,而现在她已经喜欢上喝啤酒了。acquire the taste爱好,嗜好。)
