Every summer, hundreds of thousands of students travel to other countries looking for work and adventure. Most of the opportunities are in 1 work. The pay is usually poor, but most people work 2 for the thrill of travel. You can pick grapes in France, entertain kids on American summer camps, and, of course, there are always 3 in hotels and restaurants.
But it is not as easy as it used to be to find work. Unless you speak the language of the country well, there will be very 4 openings. For example, when you arrive to wash dishes in a restaurant in Paris, the owner will 5 you to speak French. British students only have a language 6 for jobs in the USA and Australia.
Not every one 7 the experience. Sarah James was once responsible for forty American children in Europe. During the 8 , one child lost his passport; four children were lost in Madrid for a whole day; the whole group was thrown out of one hotel because of the 9 they made. Sarah says, “It really was a 24-hour-a-day job since the kids never 10 ! And the pay was awful. It wasn’t worth it.”
The trouble is that 11 expect to have an easy time of it. After all, they see it as a 12 . In practice, though, they have to work hard. At the same time, all vacation work is casual work, and jobs are 13 only when the hotel, the restaurant, or the campsite is busy. But students have few employment 14 . As soon as the holiday season finishes, companies will get rid of them. And if their employer doesn’t like them, they’ll be 15 , too.

解析試題分析：本文主要講述的是在假期里很多學生都到海外去工作，以增加自己的工作經驗并賺點錢。敘述了在此期間所遇見的困難和問題。
【小題1】A 上下文串聯。根據14空后的As soon as the holiday season finishes,可知這些都是季節性的工作，都是很不穩定的工作。故A正確。
【小題2】C 上下文串聯。根據文章第一行travel to other countries可知這些工作都是在國外的工作。
【小題3】A 上下文串聯。根據本段1,2行looking for work可知他們是在國外找工作來增加自己的經驗。
【小題4】D 詞義辨析。A好的B新的C有吸引力的D幾乎沒有；如果他們不能講對方的語言，那么他們幾乎就沒有什么開始。也就是說如果語言不通，幾乎找不到合適的工作。
【小題5】B 動詞辨析。A教育B期待C允許D禁止；在法國，老板都期待著他們能夠講法語。
【小題6】C 名詞辨析。A問題B教訓C優勢D考試；英國的學生只有在美國和澳大利亞才有語言優勢。
【小題7】B 動詞辨析。A有B享受C忘記D記得；并不是每個人都喜歡這樣的經歷的。
【小題8】A 上下文串聯。根據文章第一段travel to other countries可知學生都把這樣的經歷當成旅行。
【小題9】D 考察常識。孩子們被驅逐出賓館主要是因為噪音擾民，所以才會被趕了出去。
【小題10】C 動詞辨析。A哭B學習C睡覺D幫助；這似乎是一個24小時的工作，因為孩子們似乎不睡覺。
【小題11】B 上下文串聯。根據文章第一行hundreds of thousands of students可知出國的是學生。
【小題12】C 名詞辨析。A工作B教訓C假期D羞愧的事；很多學生都把這當成是假期而不是工作。
【小題13】B 形容詞辨析。A數不清B存在C有趣的D乏味的；這樣的工作只存在于賓館餐廳以及營地很忙碌的時候，如果高峰期過了，這樣的工作機會也就沒有了。
【小題14】D 名詞辨析。A經歷B規則C計劃D權利；這些工作的學生是沒有什么工作權利的。
【小題15】A 動詞辨析。A解雇B收費C罰款D懲罰；如果老板不喜歡他們，他們就會被解雇。

Many people who work in London prefer to live outside it, and to go in to their offices or schools every day by train, car or bus, even though this means they have to get up early in the morning and reach home late in the evening.
One advantage of living outside London is that houses are cheaper. Even a small flat in London without a garden costs quite a lot to rent. With the same money, one can get a little house in the country with a garden of one’s own.
Then, in the country one can rest from the noise and hurry of the town. Even though one has to get up earlier and spend more time in trains or buses, one can sleep better at night and during weekends and on summer evenings, one can enjoy the fresh, clean air of the country. If one likes gardens, one can spend one’s free time digging, planting, watering and doing the hundred and one other jobs which are needed in a garden. Then, when the flowers and vegetables come up, one has the reward of one who has shared the secret of Nature.
Some people, however, take no interest in country things: for them, happiness lies in the town, with its cinemas and theatres, beautiful shops and busy streets, dance-halls and restaurants. Such people would feel that their life was not worth living if they had to live it outside London. An occasional(偶爾) walk in one of the parks and a fortnight’s (two weeks) visit to the sea every summer is all the country they want: the rest they are quite prepared to leave to those who are glad to get away from London every night.
【小題1】 Which of the following statements is true?
| A．People who like country things prefer to live outside the city. |
| B．Few people who work in London prefer to live in the country. |
| C．One disadvantage of living outside London is that houses are cheaper. |
| D．The people living outside London must like gardens. |
| A．getting a small flat with a garden |
| B．having a small flat with a garden |
| C．renting a small flat without a garden |
| D．buying a small flat without a garden |
| A．who live in the country |
| B．who have spent time working in the garden |
| C．who work inside the city |
| D．who sometimes walk in the parks |
| A．their life was meaningless |
| B．their life was invaluable |
| C．they didn’t deserve a happy life |
| D．they were not worthy of their happy life |

Our particular parenting style reflects our own way of “looking”. Here’s a great piece of writing reflecting parent’s particular ways on the parenting style that have become known humorously as helicopter parenting and submarine parenting.
Helicopter parents hover over their children, managing every aspect of their child’s life. On the contrary, submarine parents remain “hidden” coming to the surface when guidance is needed.
While helicopter parents may have the best intentions, in reality, they are raising children with few problem solving skills. Children with hovering parents never get the chance to face disappointment and build up their ability to recover from misfortune.
Think about your typical submarine. Submarines usually remain underwater. In case of a need for emergency surfacing, submarines can rise so quickly. They are driven partially out of the water. Submarine parents also remain out of sight, yet able to appear in the case of an emergency.
I admit I’m a submarine mom. My job as a parent is to have fun with my daughters while letting them explore and learn natural consequences.
My older daughter found herself acting in commercials and making more than minimum wage as a teen. To give her a sense of the real world, I insisted she spend three weeks every summer, picking strawberries and earning $3.50 on a good day.
When my youngest daughter Sondra was six, she wanted a very expensive American Girl Doll. I cut the full color 18" picture out of the American Girl catalogue and had it laminated (壓膜). “Here’s your American Girl Doll.” I said “When you turn nine, I’ll buy you the 3D doll on your birthday.” Sondra played with her flat doll for months, making clothes and furniture for her. She learned creativity. I saved $88.00.
1.What is the text mainly about?
A. Various means of transportation.
B. Funny experiences of a mom.
C. Humorous stories about parents.
D. Different styles of parenting.
2.The underlined phrase “hover over” in Paragraph 2 is closest in meaning to “_____”.
A. leave behind B. fly around C. watch over D. set aside
3.Which of the following can be learned about helicopter parents from the passage?
A. They give their children proper guidance.
B. They try to do everything for their children.
C. They teach their children how to face failures.
D. They help their children explore by themselves.
4.The author supports her point of view mainly by _____.
A. stating facts and offering advice
B. using figures and giving evidence
C. analyzing data and drawing conclusions
D. making comparisons and giving examples
