解析
文章介绍作者大学毕业后为了有机会找到更好的工作。到了纽约，临时在一个咖啡店做服务员，但是一直都没有再找到适合的工作，生活的压力使他疲惫，最终回到原来的小镇，发现这才是最适合自己的。
小题1:我决定到纽约，在那里我可能会有机会找到更好的工作。这里使用定语从句，先行词是New York,定语从句中缺少地点状语，用where 引导定语从句。
小题2:为了挣钱付日常开销，我开始在当地咖啡店做服务员。这里用不定式做目的状语，填To earn
小题3:我相信只要我被提供一个好的职位，我就立刻辞职。考查连词：“只要，一旦”“as soon as/ as long as”。
小题4:过了一段时间，高生活成本在我已经疲惫的肩膀成了一个负担。考查形容词“疲惫的”：exhausted
小题5: 妈妈说过，如果我想有个更好的事业的进步，我就得到城市里面找工作。这里需要连词“如果”：if
小题6:妈妈说的话深深的扎根到我的思想中了。What引导的是主语从句。
小题7:很显然我适应城市的生活有困难。这里使用了have difficulty in doing sth，所以填动名词：adapting
小题8:直到我回来我才发现安静的小镇生活对我才是最好的。Not until放在句首，后面的主句要倒装。用助动词did提到主语前面。

例：one→first
two→second
three→third

eight→eighth
nine→ninth
twelve→twelfth
③十位整数序数词的构成方法是将基数词的词y变成i，然后再加eth。
例：twenty→twentieth
thirty→thirtieth
forty→fortieth
ninety→ninetieth
④两位或两位以上的基数词变成序数词时，仅将个位数变成序数词。
例：twenty－one→twenty－first
thirty－five→thirty－fifth
a hundred and fifty－three→a hundred and fifty－third
2、序数词的用法：
①序数词在使用时，一般加上定冠词。
