    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.
Questions 66 -70
Answer the following questions according to the passage.
How did Mariann get the money for her three months’ travelling to other countries?
选项
答案She did a part time job in a hospital near Oslo．
解析 (倒数第二段最后两句指出“I hope to get a job in a hospital near Oslo．I worked there lastsummer，while earning the money to go to Nepal，Thailand and Vietnam for three months”，可知Mariann上个暑假在Oslo附近的一家医院做兼职，从而赚取了去别国旅游三个月的费用。)
