In America, many teenagers have a part-time job. A part-time job is one that you do a few hours each week to make money. Do you have a part-time job?
Teens can have many different kinds of part-time jobs. Some teens work in groceries (杂货). Others may work in other local business such as the clothes store. You may have friends who work in a fast food restaurant. They may make the food, or keep the restaurant clean. Many teens make money by looking after younger children in the neighborhood. Some teens even have their own business. They cut grass and take care of pets in their neighborhoods while other people are on vacation.
Most teens who have part-time jobs work only a few hours after school, maybe two or three times a week. They often have to work all day on Saturday.
Having a part-time job has many advantages. The job teaches you new skills that you can use as an adult. The job also teaches you responsibility (责任). The person who paid you for the job expects you to be there. The job also pays you money that you can use for many different things. Your family might need the money to help with the family budget (预算). If you're lucky, you could use the money to buy music and videos. You might want to save the money to buy a new bicycle or maybe even a car.
In some families, teens have part-time jobs to help make money to go to college. Going to college is very expensive. Many parents cannot pay for their child's education without help from the child. In some families, at least half of what a teen makes at a part-time job goes into a college savings account (账户). The teen can spend the rest of the money on what he or she needs or wants.
Many teenagers have part-time jobs and still have time for their friends and families. Many still belong to clubs at school and even have time to play sports. If you have a part-time job,you need to have a good plan to help you do everything you want and have to do. Do your homework and chores as soon as you can. Don't let the work wait and pile up (堆积). Make sure you get to your job on time. Do the things that are most important to you. Spend time with the people you care about most.

解析试题分析:本文主要是讲美国的许多青少年喜欢做兼职工作以及兼职工作的好处。做兼职工作的好处是教会孩子一些成年人的技能和责任。在有些家庭,青少年做兼职工作赚的钱可以帮助他们上大学。
【小题1】根据第二段的Teens can have many different kinds of part-time jobs.和Many teens make extra money by baby-sitting younger children in the neighborhood.可知在美国青少年做各种各样的兼职工作是为了多赚点钱。故第一空为Different,第二空位于动词不定式符号to之后,故用动词原形make。
【小题2】根据第五段的Many parents cannot pay for their child's education without help from the child.可知有些家庭,父母用他们孩子赚的钱来帮助他们的孩子上大学,故第一空为use,第二空为help。

【小题4】who paid you for the job作为定语从句修饰先行词the person, 意思为付你工资的人;expects you to be there 期待你能坚守在那;when you are supposed to and to do your job well.是时间转语从句,意思为当你应该在那里并且做好工作。因此此处的意思为:付你工资的人期待你能坚守你的工作岗位并且做好工作。
【小题5】根据In America, many teenagers have a part-time job.和Having a part-time job has many advantages.可知本文主要是讲美国的许多青少年喜欢做兼职工作以及兼职工作的好处。故此处的答案为:Teenagers in America like to do part-time jobs and the advantages of it

Bob was only seven years old. One night Bob was at home alone while his parents were out for a party. He had often stayed alone before, so he wasn’t afraid. As he waited for his parents to return home, he watched a film on TV. His eyes became heavier and heavier as time passed by.

A man had two sons. They were twins. They were born at almost the same time and looked exactly alike. But in one important way they were very different. One was an optimist(乐观者),while the other one was a pessimist(悲观者).
The man was worried about his sons. There are good and bad things in life, he knew. He did not want them to be too pessimistic or too optimistic. He took his problem to a friend, Sally.
“How can I cure(治愈)them of their foolish optimism and pessimist?” he asked his friend .
Sally was thoughtful. Then she said, “When is their next birthday?”
“It’s on Wednesday,” the father replied. “They’ll be twelve years old.”
“Excellent,” Sally said. “Here’s what you should do. Give your pessimist son a really wonderful present. Give your optimistic son a really poor present. That should cure them of their optimism and pessimisms.”
The father did as his friend told him.
On Wednesday morning the boys looked at their birthday presents.
The pessimist looked at his first. It was a beautiful and very expensive gold watch, but he was not pleased with it.
“Huh,” he said, “I don’t like this very much .I’m sure it won’t keep good time. It will always be fast or slow and it will probably break many times, and I’ll have to spend lots of money to get it repaired(修理).”
Then the optimist looked at his present. He was really pleased. “Look! Dad’s given me a shoelace (鞋带).” he said. He held up the shoelace.

We can see waste everywhere in the school. Some students ask for more food than they can eat and others often forget to turn off the lights when they leave the classroom. They say they can afford these things. But I don't agree with them.
Waste can bring a lot of problems. Although China is rich in some resources(资源), we are short of others, for example, fresh water. It is reported that we will have no coal(煤) or oil to use in 100 years. So if we go on wasting our resources, what can we use in the future and where can we move? Think about it. I think we should say no to the students who waste things every day. Everybody should stop wasting as soon as possible.
In our everyday life, we can do many things to prevent waste from happening, for example, turn off the water taps when we finish washing, turn off the lights when we leave the classroom, try not to order more food than we need and so on. Little by little, we will change everything. We can stop waste one day, if we do our best.
【小题1】From the passage we know that some students often _______ in the school.
A.eat too much | B.don't work hard |
C.waste things | D.throw rubbish everywhere |
A.Fresh water | B.Forest. | C.Oil. | D.Coal. |
A.We may still have enough oil. |
B.We may still have enough coal. |
