九年级英语阅读训练十一 一、完形填空 I’ve been playing in rock bands since I was about 14 years old. It’s my favorite hobby in the world and I don’t think I’ll ever give it up. When I moved to China, I wasn’t sure what it would be like to play in a band here.   1   it be hard to find people to play with? Or places to play at?

These kinds of experiences are   10   in the US. It’s definitely been a lot of fun to play music here. 1. A. Would                  B. Should          C. Might                   D. Shall 2.
