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 (賺) 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 (織) 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 (技術) 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.
【小題1】Kids can have full-time jobs at the age of _________ in the USA.
A. 17 B. 14 C. 13 D. 10

| B．it’s hard for kids under 14 years old to earn money in the USA |

【小題1】A

【小題5】C
解析試題分析：如果你生活在美國，法律直到你16歲規定你才能有一個全職工作。在14或15，你可以課后或周末兼職的工作，并在夏季可以每周工作40小時。這意味著，如果你超過14歲，你不能賺得自己的錢？當然不。孩子們的年齡在10和13之間可以做的事情，賺許多錢。同時列舉了幾個孩子的掙錢過程，通過打工掙自己的錢，你正在學習的技巧，你需要成功的生活。這些技能可以包括與他人相處，使用技術（技術）和使用你的時間。有些人認為要求資金比賺錢更容易；但是，當你把自己的錢，你不需要依賴別人。你賺的五美元可能會讓你感覺在你的手有二十美元。
【小題1】細節理解題。分析：美國的孩子們多在時能正式找工作？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：如果你生活在美國，法律規定直到你16歲才能有一個全職工作。選項中的年齡只有17歲符合。故選 A。
【小題2】細節理解題。問題：如果你是十五歲，你在什么時間不能去工作？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，你可以課后或周末兼職的工作，并在夏季可以每周工作40小時。分析也表明在上學期間不可，只能在業余時間可以進行工作。故選D。
【小題3】細節理解題。問題：Reisa以什么方式掙到錢了？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說她開始以藝術類和展示她的工作給人們。人們讓她為他們畫畫并且為此付錢。所以說是為別人畫畫來掙錢。故選 B。
【小題4】細節理解題。分析問題，通過閱讀短文下面的描述，哪句是錯誤的。了解四句話中只有第四選項是不正確的，從短文中體現了當學會如何掙錢也就更會與他人友好相處。故選D。
【小題5】細節理解題。分析通過這個短文，我們知道了什么？在結束閱讀中我們知道如果孩子們學會掙錢也就學會了技術。故選C。
考點：社會現象類閱讀。

At East China University of Science and Technology, students will get a coupon（優惠券）if they eat up their food. Students can collect coupons and exchange them for small gifts, such as books , magazines, mobile phone covers and hand warmers.
"It's been such a surprise," said Liang Zhaoyun, 19, a student at the university in Shanghai. "It has given us one more motivation to finish our food."
The measure is part of a national "eat-up" campaign (行動) which is organized by students to deal with food waste on campuses(校園)。
Why only on campuses, you might ask? Because according to a report by Xinhua News Agency, students waste twice as much food as the national average (平均) .The campaign on campus food waste is receiving attention across the country." The aim of the campaign is not only to encourage students to finish their food. We hope it can also encourage students to choose a more environment-friendly and healthy lifestyle, said Tao Siliang, secretary of the Youth League Committee at Shanghai University.
But some school food is poorly prepared, so students do not like to finish it all. Some schools have taken notice of this and they are taking measures to improve it.
"I'm glad that we've reduced food waste since the ' eat-up' campaign began. But if we call on students to waste less food, we should also improve the service and food standard on campuses. " said Tao.
【小題1】 The underlined word " motivation" in Paragraph 2 means__________in Chinese.
| A．動力 | B．機會 |
| C．試驗 | D．條件 |
| A．students get a good education | B．schools offer small gifts |
| C．students waste too much food | D．school food is more delicious |
| A．improve the school food standard |
| B．encourage a greener and healthier lifestyle |
| C．receive attention from the society |
| D．further improve the service in universities |
| A．Enjoy Your Food! | B．Reduce Waste on Campus |
| C．Meals in Universities. | D．"Eat-up" Campaign on Campus |

請閱讀一篇短文，根據所提供的信息，完成下面的表格。
In the modern society, the traffic problem has become more and more serious, which has aroused(引起) wide public concern（關心）, especially in the rush hour , at some time or other, people would rather walk on the street than drive the car, and the line people waiting for the bus can be as long as 10 meters. Because a great number of office workers go to work and go off work at the same time, most private cars and buses are on the roads at the same time, which of course leads to traffic jams(交通堵塞).
But how to solve it? As far as I’m concerned, for one thing, the government should build more roads to meet the needs of cars; for another, we should call for people to take a bus instead of driving their own cars. At times, we can also ride bikes to go to work or visit somewhere. Not only do we strengthen ourselves in this way, but also we protect the environment. In a word ,if all of us take actions to solve it, I believe there will not be a word named traffic jam .

In China, parents often tell their kids not to waste food. However, it's reported that a lot of food is wasted in restaurants every day.
Many people say when they eat out, they usually order a lot of dishes and they can't eat them up. One person in Chengdu, Sichuan Province says he takes away the leftovers. "Usually we'll have some leftovers after meals, because when I invite friends to eat out, I don't know how much they can eat, so I order lots of dishes to make sure everybody has enough food."
While another person in Fuzhou, Fujian Province says she never packs what is left on the dining table. "What I usually experience during eating out is a big meal. I seldom take away the leftovers because we often have other activities after the meals, and it's not convenient to take the leftovers. And when no one suggests taking away leftovers, I won't do so."
Some people say they only take away leftovers when they eat out with family, but not if they eat with friends or colleagues (同事).

Newspapers are not nearly as popular today as they were in the past. 【小題1】 Most people read only the sports pages, the advice or the gossip（閑話，緋聞）columns, the comics, and perhaps the classified advertisements.
Most people don't take the time to read the real news. 【小題2】 These techniques（技術，手段）are used on the front page because it is the first thing you see when you pick up the paper.

They may read the headlines, but that is all, then they turn to the sports page, or comics, or advertisements. It seems that people do not want the news from a newspaper anymore. 【小題4】
More people watch television news because it is easier and more interesting than reading a newspaper. What about you? Do you read news from a newspaper? 【小題5】 Or do you care about news at all? Would you mind if there were no news?

People can find jobs in many ways. Sometimes you can find a job easily, by walking into a local store and looking at its notice board(布告欄). Local stores often have areas for people to put small signs telling the services that they need or they can provide. Such services include looking after children or cleaning houses.
Another popular tool for finding a job is the Internet. For example, people around the world can
use the Craigslist Web site to buy things, meet people or find a job. It is said that the site can receive two million new jobs each month.
Another useful way to find a job is through a university. For example, students at the University
of Texas can go to the job center to get help. Many college students like this way better.
