【解析】

本文是说明文。由于美国的大学教育非常昂贵，大多数学生除了学习以外还工作。学生通常做兼职，但也有些学生做全职工作。工作经验对他们本身也有好处，可让他们体验到真正的社会。

【1】考查主谓一致。此处描述的是客观事实，应使用一般现在时，主语是a university education in the United States，谓语动词应使用第三人称单数形式。故填is。

【2】考查副词。学生们通常做兼职。此处修饰动词work，应用副词。故填usually。

【3】考查固定搭配。对学生来说典型的工作可能是作一名服务员。work as…“以……身份工作，充当……”。故填as。

【4】考查名词单复数。图书馆工作或接电话。根据语境及常识可知，此处泛指“来电”，应使用复数形式。故填telephones。

【5】考查非谓语动词。句意：大多数学生的工作是入门级的，工资低，但是有可让学生上课的灵活的时间表。schedule与后面的allow是主动关系，应用现在分词做定语。故填allowing。

【6】考查定语从句。此处是非限定性定语从句， positions是先行词，在非限制性定语从句中做主语，指物，应用which引导。故填which。

【7】考查冠词。句意：工作和学习的双重责任导致一种非常忙碌而又有压力的生活。此处特指学生身上的责任，应用定冠词。故填The。

【8】考查形容词。此处修饰生活要用形容词，意为“有压力的生活”。故填stressful。

【9】考查副词。句意：然而，这是许多人支付大学学费的唯一途径。此处与前句是转折关系，且有逗号隔开，应使用副词however。故填However。

【10】考查反身代词。句意：工作经验对学生自己本身是有好处的。此处是用反身代词做同位语，themselves“他们自己”。故填themselves。
