Things to Keep in Mind before Moving to New York City
1. So, reading up on New York’s history, facts, statistics, facilities, etc, is always a good idea. Learn about the culture, how to deal with people, taxi drivers, manners, or lack of manners that is exhibited there, and so on. It is always best to know what exactly you are getting into rather than landing there and getting a complete shock.
Before you buy your clothes or shoes, you always try them out first, right? In the same way, before you move to New York, you need to visit it for a couple of days, just do that you can see what the city is like. 2.
The best and worst thing about New York is that this city is controlled by money. 3. Then, you need to set aside (留出) an amount for emergencies only. If you are moving to New York with a job, or are planning to get a job once you are in the city, then you need to make sure that your salary covers up all your expenses and the amount that you would set aside for emergencies.
Finding a neighbourhood in New York is the key to actually enjoying your stay there. If you are moving to the city due to work, then look for living accommodations close to your workplace. 4. Do you see yourself living in a place that is quiet, like the Upper West Side or East Side, or do you want noisy setups, like the East Village, Lower East Side, or West Village?
Give the city a chance, make some good memories, and enjoy your stay there. Be safe wherever you go, and don’t’ worry too much. 5.
A. The easiest way to survive in New York is to have a friend who knows this city really well.
B. Once you are in New York, you would never want to leave it.
C. Before you move to any city, it is always best to know a little about the city.
D. To start with, you will need to make a budget.
E. You need to decide what kind of neighborhood you want.
F. Take a tour of the city and try to imagine yourself living there.
G. The experience of moving to New York depends on how the city treats you and what you make of the city.
More and more Americans are showing an interest in healthy and locally-produced food. As the interest increases, raising chickens has been gaining popularity in some American cities.
“Look, we get three eggs this time.”
Collecting eggs is a daily pleasure for the Hurst family. Naomi Hurst says her family started to raise chickens in back of their home in Maryland a month ago.
“We have wanted to try having backyard chickens for a couple years now. And really just didn't have the time to build my own coop（鸡笼；鸡舍） and look out where to buy chickens. And then we met Rent a Coop,” said Naomi Hurst.
Rent a Coop is a chicken rental business. Tyler Phillips launched the company with a partner 18 months ago. It comes with a mobile coop on wheels, two egg-laying hens, feed, bedding, water bowl, feed bowl, and our 24-hour chicken hotline. You can call with any questions. The price is 185 dollars for four weeks.
After the four weeks passed, individuals can extend the rental agreement, return everything or purchase the animals and supplies.
Tyler Phillips designs and makes the coops. He says he wants to do as little damage as possible to the environment.
“We always try to have as many recycled materials as possible. And I want the coops to be safe for kids. I want the chickens to be comfortable and they have access to the grass while being inside the coop. I want it to be easily movable, light weight,” he said.
Some cities require people have large pieces of land, if they want to raise farm animals. Others require an agreement with neighbors, limit the number of chickens, or, even ban the birds.
Tyler Phillips expects that would change as interest in small poultry (家禽) coops grows.
“I see cities around the D. C. area changing laws almost monthly and different cities will change the law to being prochicken(赞成养鸡). That is happening all around the United States,” he said, He believes that there will be chicken rental businesses in most American cities within five years.

It has been more than 50 years since Harvard Business School started admitting women, yet the institution (机构) is still trying hard to find out how to best attract and support them. Its latest effort: a program targeting women’s colleges—place that are not traditional feeding grounds for the male-majority business school.
The program is called Peek. It offers juniors, seniors and recent graduates from women’s colleges the opportunity to read and discuss four HBS case studies in class specially taught by top HBS members. About 50 to 70 promising students will pay $500 for their stay there.
Women make up 41 percent of Harvard Business School class of 2016—the most the school has had. In 1985, women made up only one-quarter of the graduating class. Harvard is not alone when it comes to struggling with a gender gap (性别差别). At Wharton, the class of 2016 is 40 percent women; at Standford Business School, it’s 42 percent. No top business school had gotten to 50 percent yet.
Despite the Peek program’s good intention, the $500 fee bothered someone, said John A. Byrne, the editor of business school new site. “The fact that HBS would charge women for the chance of coming to campus rubbed a lot of people the wrong way,” said Byrne. HBS said the $500 fee was a “fair price” for room and daily meals at the business school for a weekend, and didn’t actually cover the full costs of the program.
For years, women students at Harvard Business School failed to keep pace with men. In 2010, Harvard business School got a new manager, Nitin Nohrin, who promised a turnaround. Nohrin designed a program to encourage women students and professors. He promised to change the school’s case studies so that at least 20 percent of the people in the business texts would be women.
1.What can we learn about the program Peek?
A. It is free for new students.
B. It offers all kinds of business classes.
C. It is helped by the best teachers.
D. It is intended for high school students.
2.What is the main idea of the Paragraph 3?
A. Women are not good at business management.
B. Women are less interested in business school.
C. Women students are less talented than men students.
D. Women students are becoming fewer and fewer in college.
3.In the eyes of Byrne, Harvard’s program ________.
A. will be a total failure
B. will waste lots of money
C. doesn’t have many good intention
D. will shut some students out
4.What is the text mainly about?
A. HBS’s new plan to attract more women students.
B. HBS’s new manager Nitin Nohrin.
C. HBS’s effort to attract talented students.
D. HBS, the best business school ever world-wide.
