试题分析：这篇短文讲述的是美国人非常喜欢旅行，他们不断的从一个地方搬到另一个地方，只要自己喜欢 。他们上学也通常不在一个地方，而且当他们参加了工作之后，他们也会不断的更换工作，作者认为这不管是对工人还是对老板都是有好处的。
1.D 细节理解题。根据短文的开头可知，美国人喜欢旅行，例如他们可能会开车很远的距离去跟朋友吃饭，或是坐飞机去其他地方只是去看一场足球比赛。这些例子告诉我们美国人喜欢旅行，去做自己喜欢做的事情，故应选D。A、B和C都只是具体的例子。
2.A 细节理解题。根据短文中In some states only one person in five lives in a place for more than five years.可知，在美国的一些州，只有五分之一的人在一个地方呆五年以上。由此可知A是正确的。根据He may finish his middle school in two or three cities可知B不对；根据go to college far across the country可知C不对；根据When he begins to work, he may possibly move from job to job可知D不对。
3.C 词义猜测题。根据短文第一段的后半部分的意思以及Moving from one job to another, which is called “job-hopping”可知，job-hopping就是不断的更换工作，故应选C。
4.A 细节理解题。根据文意可知，美国人经常换工作，这就叫做job-hopping，根据文中Moving from one job to another, which is called “job-hopping”, can be seen in many places in the United States可知，这种现象在美国是很常见的，故应选A。其他选项不符合文意。
5.D 细节理解题。根据短文第二段的意思可知，美国人不断的更换工作，这对于工人们来说是有好处的，这样他们可以有机会赚到更多的钱；而且这对老板也有好处，因为他们可以从工人们身上得到很多新的想法和技能。可见这一现象不管是对工人，还是对老板都是有好处的。故选D。
考点：文化类短文阅读。
