If you live in the United States, the law says you can’t have a full-time job until you are 16 years old. At 14 or 15, you can work part-time after school or on weekends, and during summer you can work 40 hours each week. Does all that mean that if you are younger than 14, you can’t earn (赚) your own money? Of course not! Kids who are between the ages of 10 and 13 can earn money by doing lots of things. Valerie, 11, told us that she made money by cleaning up other people’s yards. Lena, 13, makes money by knitting (织) dog sweaters and selling them to her neighbors, and Reisa said she had started taking art classes and showing her work to people. People have asked her to draw pictures for them and they pay her for them. Jasmine, 13, writes articles for different magazines! Earning is learning. By working to earn your own money, you are learning the skills you will need to succeed in life. These skills can include things like getting along with others, using technology (技术) and using your time. Some people think that asking for money is a lot easier than earning it; however, when you make your own money, you don’t have to depend on someone else. The five dollars that you earn will probably make you feel a lot better in your hand than the twenty dollars you ask for. 小题1:Kids can have full-time jobs at the age of _________ in the USA. A. 17 B. 14 C. 13 D. 10 小题2:If you are 15 years old, you can’t work _________.A.after school | B.on weekends | C.during summer | D.on weekdays | 小题3:Reisa makes money by _________.A.cleaning up other people’s yards | B.drawing pictures for others | C.writing articles for different magazines | D.knitting dog sweaters and selling them to her neighbors | 小题4:According to the passage, which of the following is Not True? A. You are learning how to succeed by working in your teens.[ B. Kids are encouraged to live independently in the USA. C. Earning one’s money is better than asking for money from others. D.

试题分析:如果你生活在美国,法律直到你16岁规定你才能有一个全职工作。在14或15,你可以课后或周末兼职的工作,并在夏季可以每周工作40小时。这意味着,如果你超过14岁,你不能赚得自己的钱?当然不。孩子们的年龄在10和13之间可以做的事情,赚许多钱。同时列举了几个孩子的挣钱过程,通过打工挣自己的钱,你正在学习的技巧,你需要成功的生活。这些技能可以包括与他人相处,使用技术(技术)和使用你的时间。有些人认为要求资金比赚钱更容易;但是,当你把自己的钱,你不需要依赖别人。你赚的五美元可能会让你感觉在你的手有二十美元。 小题1:细节理解题。分析:美国的孩子们多在时能正式找工作?原文:If you live in the United States, the law says you can’t have a full-time job until you are 16 years old.句意:如果你生活在美国,法律规定直到你16岁才能有一个全职工作。选项中的年龄只有17岁符合。故选 A。 小题2:细节理解题。问题:如果你是十五岁,你在什么时间不能去工作?原文:At 14 or 15, you can work part-time after school or on weekends, and during summer you can work 40 hours each week.句意:在14或15,你可以课后或周末兼职的工作,并在夏季可以每周工作40小时。分析也表明在上学期间不可,只能在业余时间可以进行工作。故选D。 小题3:细节理解题。问题:Reisa以什么方式挣到钱了?原文:Reisa said she had started taking art classes and showing her work to people. People have asked her to draw pictures for them and they pay her for them.句意:Reisa说她开始以艺术类和展示她的工作给人们。人们让她为他们画画并且为此付钱。所以说是为别人画画来挣钱。故选 B。 小题4:细节理解题。分析问题,通过阅读短文下面的描述,哪句是错误的。了解四句话中只有第四选项是不正确的,从短文中体现了当学会如何挣钱也就更会与他人友好相处。故选D。 小题5:细节理解题。分析通过这个短文,我们知道了什么?在结束阅读中我们知道如果孩子们学会挣钱也就学会了技术。故选C。 |

Did you know that a new weblog is being created each second? Many of these bloggers are teenagers. While their parents wrote in a diary to express their emotions, or shared their interests by spending time with friends, teens are now using blogs instead. In fact, in the US, one in every five school-aged teens has a blog. Most of these are just chatter, some are funny or clever, but a few have become Internet success. For example, Chloe Spencer’s blog ‘Neopets Fanatic’ gets around 300,000 hits per month. When Chloe was 15, she started the blog out of her strong liking for Neopets, a kind of pet website. One reason her blog has so many visitors is because she gives instructions and tips for the popular pet site.
Then there is Tavi Gevinson’s blog ‘Style Rookie’. It is said to get 1.5 million hits per month. Tavi, who started her blog when she was just 12, puts up her photos of her own clothes online as well as designers’ collections. Tavi’s blog has caught on because she knows a lot about style for someone so young, and she is not afraid to try out unusual clothes or see things in a different way. Blogs like these are interesting, but they only become really popular after better-known websites link to them or they get noticed by the media(传媒). For example, Tavi’s blog became an overnight(一夜之间) success after being written about in The New York Times. Popular blogs can even earn money, usually from advertisements that companies pay to put up on the bloggers’ sites. So for some, blogging is just a recreation(消遣), but for others, it can become a source of income and even a full-time job! 小题1: Teens nowadays ________ than their parents did.A.have more ways of communication | B.share their feelings more | C.write in diaries more often | D.make more friends | 小题2: In line 4, the underlined word ‘chatter’ means talk about ________ topics.A.funny | B.clever | C.serious | D.unimportant | 小题3:Chloe Spencer and Tavi Gevinson are both ________.A.pet lovers | B.teenage bloggers | C.interested in fashion | D.keen on taking photos | 小题4: From the passage we know that Chloe Spencer is a person who ________. A.visits many websites | B.loves pets | C.is easy to get angry | D.rarely gives opinions | 小题5: According to paragraph 4, Tavi Gevinson’s blog ________.A.is not well-known yet | B.is written every night | C.became popular very quickly | D.got a lot of money from advertising | 小题6:The best title for the passage might be ________.A.How to be good teen bloggers | B.How teen bloggers attract the media | C.Keeping diaries or writing blogs | D.Teen bloggers mean business |

Red is used in many American expressions. It can be used to show happiness, as in the expression “a red-letter day”. This is a day when something special happens. The expression is probably based on church customs. For almost 600 years, church calendars have been marked with red to show special holy(神圣的)days. Today’s calendars are still marked that way with the dates of holidays and special days printed in red. The expression “a red-letter day”is often heard in daily life. “A red-letter day” is a day that people are especially happy. It may be a day that you have waited for a long time, a wedding day, for example. Or it may be a day with a happy surprise. You might tell a friend that yesterday was a red-letter day, because you won some money in the lottery. “Rolling out the red carpet” is another commonly heard expression. It describes an especially warm welcome of any kind. A city may “roll out the carpet ”for its baseball team, when the team arrives home after winning a championship. A group of supporters go to the air port to the greet the team. The red-carpet welcome includes a lot of cheering by thousands of fans, a parade, music and speech of praise by local statesmen. Red is also used in some expressions that are not happy. “Red-handed ” is an example. To be caught “red-handed” is to be found in an act of wrong doing. The evidence is clear. You are guilty. Today we use the expression “ to be caught red-handed ”in situation(情况)that are not serious. For example, a mother might say she caught her son red-handed, taking cookies out of the cookie jar.

Below are some suggestions given by the English children posted on the website about how to help Africa. Which do you think is the best?

Mary, aged 14, Stratford-on-Avon
