Since I am a student in the second year of university now, I think it is the perfect time for me to take real responsibility for myself and begin a new challenge. I have already had a year life to fit in at university, making friends, and finding out path for my future. This is the reason why I started to do a part-time job in this year.

Interesting enough, local Canadian students can start doing part-time jobs as early as 16 years old. They usually work at places like fast food restaurants or coffee shops. International students like me, however, are not allowed to do off-campus ( 在 校 外 ) jobs if they are under 18. As a university student, I have a lot of opportunities to get a part-time job either on or off campus. If I get an on-campus job, I can work in the school libraries or bookshops. If I work outside of campus, I can be a shopping guide at the mall or work at fast food restaurants.

However, what I do for my part-time job is to help international high-school students learn the subjects like English and history. I help these students through online classes. This way, I am actually doing something that a lot of people nowadays could only dream of doing, working from home.

The job really isn’t too stressful because I have some teaching experience back from when I was in high school. I can also learn a lot from it. I see doing a part-time as something that brings me a lot of advantages. For example, it not only gives me some pocket money but also teaches me skills that cannot be learned from university classes. These include skills such as interpersonal communication, time management,and financial (财务的) planning.

Some way say that doing part-time will have a bad influence on my school life since it will take time away from my studies. However, I think that part-time jobs are not something that everyone should do. It requires the ability to manage one’s time wisely and find the perfect balance between work and study.

1.Is it the perfect time to do a part-time job in the second year of university?

2.How old can local Canadian students have a part-time job?

3.What is the writer’s part-time job?

4.What skills can the writer learn from his part-time job?

5.What do you think of having a part-time job in the university?

Could you imagine a library where you borrow tools, appliances and sports gear(用具)? As a student, Sabrina could see the simple solution to a problem — in order to reduce waste and create a good effect on our environment, perhaps we should try sharing the things we have.

When she arrived in Brisbane four years ago, Sabrina had nothing with her but a suitcase full of clothes and a laptop. To start settling in, she asked friends if she could borrow the things she needed. Over time, as she started to have things of her own, she would _______ them to her friends in return.

She then came to the conclusion that we don’t need to own every single tool for every single_______, we just need to have them; we need a place where we can borrow what we need —in other words, a library. Sabrina decided to put her idea into action and so the Brisbane Tool Library was born.

Within two years the tool library has grown to over 225 members and today is run by a team of volunteers, mostly women, from 13 different nationalities. For a small membership fee, the library offers _______ from hand and power tools to sporting and camping gear, and kitchen equipment.

The library now has over 500 items in its storeroom with another 500 waiting to come. These are items that would otherwise have gone into landfill when their owners are _________ them sitting on the shelf — most are still new. “It doesn’t need to be like this,” says Sabrina. “It’s not just about reducing waste when things are at the _______ of their life cycle. And recycling is not enough. We need to rethink purchasing from the very beginning. We need some change.”

It’s a part of the rise of the share economy, where phone apps allow _______ to share rarely-used goods with people who need them. Libraries have been around for centuries offering public use of shared resources.

1.A.lend B.report C.read D.sell

2.A.excuse B.success C.purpose D.secret

3.A.something B.everything C.anything D.nothing

4.A.fond of B.tired of C.surprised at D.afraid of

5.A.start B.top C.rest D.end

6.A.learners B.officers C.users D.designers
