Module 4 Music Born in America 第Ⅰ卷 第二部分：阅读理解（共两节，满分40分） 第一节（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分） 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项。 A ??????

Last time I was in Liberia, I’d wake up during the night and take my temperature. If I had a sore throat (喉咙痛), I’d start to wonder if I had the virus and worry. Meanwhile I do enjoy my job.
