Originally, she wanted to go to Las Vegas to celebrate. A lot of people go there for their 21st birthday because in the United States you can legally drink at 21. However, Janice decided not to go because she wanted to save money to buy a new car. Janice decided that she just wanted to go to a nice restaurant with her friends. Janice’s birthday was on a Tuesday. When she and her friend Austin met up at work, she thought he would wish her a happy birthday, but he didn’t. Austin had known her for years and he would always remember her birthday. Janice tried to remind him indirectly. “I wonder what day today is,” she said. “Just a Tuesday, nothing special.” Janice was upset, ignoring him during work. When Janice got home after work, her friend Liza called her and asked her to open the door. “I don’t want to go out anymore,” Janice said. “Can you just open the door? We’re already here,” Liza said. Janice opened the door. “Surprise!” her friends yelled. There was a lovely pet dog in Kate’s arms. 2.（2023·辽宁·高三辽师大附中阶段练习） 听下面一段独白，回答以下小题。 5．What is the main reason for people to go back to school?
