六、阅读短文并回答问题。
Now David lives in Beijing. It's been more than 8 years since he moved from the US to Beijing. When he went off to college, he and his parents also lived in different cities, but they still kept in touch with each other by phone and email. At that time, it was easy for him to call up his mum and catch up with her. But when David lives in Beijing, he feels it difficult to stay in touch with his family.
They're separated not only by distance, but also by time. There is a 12-hour time difference between Beijing and the US. This means that when it's morning in Beijing. It's nighttime in his hometown. This can make it difficult for David to find a suitable time to contact his family.
But he and his family make it work anyway. They try to choose times that are convenient for both of them. This means David usually calls his mum late in the evening of Beijing time. At that time, his mother is taking her lunch break. They often talk about their work, the weather, and whatever else is happening in their lives.
And of course, David tries to visit his home from time to time. He'll fly back to the US to see his parents and sisters for the holidays once a year. It's uncommon for them to get the whole family together—but when they do, they have a lot of fun.
Like many other foreigners living in China, David does miss his family. He tries to stay in touch with his family as much as possible. In his opinion, it's important to talk with his family.
1. How long has David stayed in Beijing?
2. How does David feel when he wants to stay in touch with his family?
3. When does David usually call his mother?
4. How often does David visit his family?
5. Which English saying will you use to describe David according to the last paragraph?
