Other children cant understand me.”回答5658题的问题。56.Who teaches him medicine at home?57.What was Rajah very interested in when he was very young,maths or medicine?58.Why doesnt Jaya Rajah make friends?(E) Changing placesJulie Willis is an artist from San Francisco(旧金山) who moved to London in 1988.We asked her to compare(对比) life in San Francisco andLondon. Heres what she told us.1.The citiesSan Francisco is a lovely city in a beautiful bay(海湾) in the USA. Its got lots of great buildings and places. Its smaller and much more modern than London, but its less interesting. London has a lot more theatres and museums. The Americans are usually more interested in money than culture! The buildings and streets in London are very great, and the parks and markets are wonderful. London isnt as dangerous as San Francisco. I feel much safer living herenobody carries a gun. The police dont carry guns either.2.The livingPeople have a higher standard(水平) of living in San Francisco because its much less expensive than England. For example, petrol is less than half the price and things like food, clothes, and cameras are much cheaper. Its a shoppers paradise(天堂) and I always spend a lot of money buying things before I go back to London! Its a bit more expensive to rent(租) a house in London and my bills(帐单) are much bigger than they were in San Francisco. So, although my salary(薪水) in London is about the same as it was in the United States, I have to work harder to get the same quality of life as I had before.3.Public transport(公共交通)In San Francisco you can walk everywhere because it,s a small city.There,s less traffic than in London, and the public transport is great. There are cablecars to go up all the hills and electric buses which make the city much cleaner. Public transport in London is terrible and really expensive. It takes me an hour to get to work and the journey is usually stressful. Londons dirtier too and much more polluted(污染). The traffic is bad, because there are too many cars and the streets are narrow. But English drivers arent as bad as American drivers!4.The foodFood in the United States is much better. Its fresher, cheaper, and theres much more choice. Restaurants(餐厅) arent as expensive as in London and the service is much better. In some restaurants they put a clock on the table when you arrive, and if they havent served your meal in five minutes, theyll give you the food free!回答5965题的问题：59.From the whole article(文章), which city does Julie Willis like better, London or San Francisco?60.What is Julies job?61.Why do the American people have a higher standard of living than people in London?62.In what way does Julie always save her money in London?63.How far is it f
