【题目】根据短文理解,选择正确答案。
Summer time is a great opportunity for kids to learn how to work and earn a little bit of spending money. If your child needs a summer job, here are a few options to consider:
Lemonade/Cookie Stand
Benefits
Creates a concept of running a business: Your child will be his own boss, set his own price , and run the show. It's a great introduction to running his own business.
Limited Start-Up Costs: The things used to make lemonade are cheap, so your child should be able to get back his investment with a handful of sales.
What Kids Learn About Money: Your child will learn a very valuable lesson about pricing. The price of his lemonade will decide how much he can sell, if he will recover his investment and the amount of profit.
Yard Work
Benefits:
Repeated Customers: If a homeowner needs help raking (耙地) this year, he'll probably want help again next year. Your child should be able to maintain a regular set of customers after one season.
Safety: Yard work is generally safer than a lawn-mowing job. Without having to operate machines, your child will be much safer.
What Kids Learn About Money: Because of the variability (变动) in pay, your child will need to learn how to negotiate(谈判) a fair price with homeowners if they ask.
Lifeguard
Benefits:
Responsibility: Kids learn a lot about responsibility when lifeguarding. They are within rights to tell whether a certain activity is safe and are allowed to take action as they see fit.
Exercise: Lifeguards need to be proficient at swimming and must exercise to stay in shape.
What Kids Learn About Money: To be a lifeguard, one must be certified. Your child may have to pay for lifeguard training, although some employers provide it on-site.
(1)Which one is not the benefit of selling lemonade or cookies for children?
A.To learn how to run a business.

(3)If your kid wants to be a lifeguard, he or she has to do all the following except ______.

【题目】阅读理解
Finding summer jobs for teenagers has not always been easy, but now you no longer have to worry about what your kids can do to earn their own money. Recently I found some different sites online that offer information about what kids can do. Below issome of that information, along with questions to think about to help you come upwith your own ideas.
Ideas for summer work:
●Parks and Recreation Programs.
●Babysitting (当临时保姆) during the day of school.
●Working part-time at a day care for the summer.
●Car washing.
●Working at local vegetable stands.
The easiest way for you to find ways for your child to make money is to think about others' inconveniences (不方便). Think of things you need done, or would like to have done, and what you would consider paying for these things to get done. Once you have some ideas, you can sit down with your children and talk to them aboutwhat they would be interested in doing. Then once you have an idea of what theywant to do you can help them come up with fair prices.
Preferably you would want to only have your child working with people you know and trust, or in the least bit you could have your child pick a partner. That way with each of them carrying cell phones, even those without service can call 911, they will be much safer.

【题目】根据短文理解,选择正确答案。
For many people around the world, a subway journey means speeding from one dull station to the next, surrounded by too many uncomfortable, impatient people. But on the Moscow Metro, taking the subway is like walking through a national heritage site. Depending on where you get off, you'll receive a brief course in architectural movements and face colorful glass windows, marble(大理石) columns, gilded(鎏金的) mosaics and painted scenes from Russian history.
“These extraordinarily beautiful places are unlike any metro station I've ever seen, “says Vancouver-based photographer David Burdeny.
When Burdeny, who himself has a master's degree in architecture, first found out about Moscow's metro stations, he was struck by the work of art. In all, he has photographed 20 of the most beautiful stations.
Burdeny had originally planned to focus on Russian stations more generally, taking photos of examples in both St. Petersburg and Moscow.
“But when I saw the stations in Moscow, they just completely blew away the St. Petersburg ones,” he says.
Shooting in the subway sounds simple, but it is not without challenges. For one thing, Burdeny had to figure out a way to access them between 00:30 a.m. and 5:30 a.m., when the stations were closed.
In the end, he settled on Arbatskaya Metro Station, whose vaulted(拱状的) arches he found the most beautiful. But it also represented a challenge he was not sure if he was able to overcome: conveying the hugeness of the spaces. The Arbatskaya platform, for example, stretches 820 feet.
“Some of the arches are quite long,” he says. “When you enter them, they're just so completely grand.”
(1)We can learn from the text that David Burdeny.
A.is a world-famous architect
B.took photos of Moscow subway stations
C.took the subway to and from work
D.is studying Russian history
(2)What Burdeny found challenging was .
A.when to take photos of Moscow subway stations
B.Whether to work in St. Petersburg or Moscow
C.where to get off to study the Moscow metro system
D.how to photograph the long arches at Arbatskaya Metro Station
(3)What does the underlined word “Shooting” mean in Paragraph 6?
A.Firing bullets from a gun
B.Making movies
C.Taking photographs
D.Throwing the ball at the basket.

【题目】It’s good to make mistakes,and here is why.
First of all,mistakes are a clear sign that we are trying new things.It’s always good to try new things because when we are trying new things,we are growing.If we never try anything new,how can we improve?The simple answer is,“We can’t”.
Another good thing about mistakes is that when we are making them,we are learning.Consider this—Edison failed 10,000 times before he perfected the light bulb.When asked how it felt to fail that many times,he said that he had learned 10,000 things that didn’t work.
When we make a mistake,we are much closer to success.Because every time we make a mistake,we eliminate one of the things that keeps us from success.
But all this doesn’t mean that we should go through life without considering the consequences of a mistake. Instead,when we try something new,we have to be willing to set some reasonable limits so that in the event that it doesn’t work out the way we want it to,we will be in a position to try again.We all have limited resources—in the form of time and money—so we shouldn’t blow them all on one approach to a problem.It’s best that we realize it probably won’t be perfect the first time and allocate these resources appropriately so we can learn,make corrections, and try again.Only by accepting and using our mistakes in this way can we make significant advances in our lives.
There is an old saying that goes,“If you’re not making mistakes,you’re not trying hard enough.”So go forth and make mistakes.
【1】Which can be used to replace the underlined word "eliminate" in Paragraph 4?
A. make up for B. get rid of
C. accept D. expect
【2】What do we know from the fifth paragraph?
A. We should ignore the possible consequences.
B. We should accept the outcome willingly.
C. We should make some limits for our next try.
D. We should avoid making the same mistakes.
【3】What is the text mainly about?
A. Dealing with mistakes. B. Making mistakes.
C. Making progress. D. Benefiting from mistakes.
【4】What may the writer suggest we say to ourselves when making a mistake?
A. Never mind,I tried my beat. B. Great!Now I have learned something.
C. This is a waste of time. D. Look at this mess.I should just give up.
