【題目】Part-time jobs for 15 and 16 years olds

Waiter / Waitress
A job as a waiter or waitress is a good choice for 16-year-olds. Not only can one earn $9-$12 an hour, but they can also get the tips (小費(fèi)). Most people that visit a restaurant don’t just have good food. They come here to relax and have a good time. Besides serving food quickly, a young waiter who talks to them politely with a smile on his face will make the diners enjoy their time at the restaurant.

Work in a library
If one is fond of books, working in a library is another suitable choice. Besides the pay is good, it offers a lot of free time when students can actually sit down and finish their homework. So on returning home, they would have time to hang around with friends or just relax. So working in a library is an excellent part-time job for teens, especially for school students.

Internet jobs
There are many ways of making money through online jobs like clicking on advertisements, visiting sites and signing up with them. However, such online jobs don’t pay well. A better Internet job for teens is to complete online surveys. These are quite simple surveys that usually ask one about his/ her opinions and ideas. Many companies use these ideas to make products designed for teenagers.

【1】What does the writer think of the job as a waiter/waitress?

A. It needs a period of training.

B. It pays much more than other jobs.

C. It can improve one’s leadership skills.

D. Making diners comfortable is part of the job.

【2】A student who is busy with his research paper will probably choose to work ______.

A. tell us the importance of doing part-time jobs

【題目】As ever, the Summer Movie Season is full of series and special effects. But if you’re prepared to look for them, you’ll find some smaller, odder films flying beneath the radar.

Book Club (May 18): A great quartet（四人組）of actresses (Diane Keaton, Jane Fonda, Candice Bergen, Mary Steenburgen) headline this comedy about a book club that gets back into a romantic mood after reading Fifty Shades Of Grey. It sounds ridiculous, but if that is a hook for a romantic comedy, it will be trying something new.

Tag (June 15): This comedy looks like it might share some DNA with The Hangover, as a group of friends reunite over the years to play a never-ending game of tag—Jeremy Renner, Jon Hamm, Hannibal Buress, Jake Johnson, Ed Helms, Leslie Bibb, Rashida Jones and Isla Fisher star. In other words: a lot of people we already know are funny, plus Jeremy Renner!

Uncle Drew (June 29): The attraction is that a young guy (Lil Rel Howery) has to renew a team of old men—played by NBA legends in old-age makeup—to play alongside his Uncle Drew (Kyrie Irving) in a big neighborhood game. This is such a strange idea for a comedy that I cannot wait to see it. Stars include Shaquille O’ Neal, Nate Robinson, Chris Webber, Lisa Leslie, Reggie Miller, J.B. Smoove and an up-and-coming comedy actress, Tifany Haddish.

Skyscraper (July 13): It wouldn’t be an action-movie season without Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson running off a crane（起重機(jī)）and leaping in a way that in reality would result in certain death but that in a movie results in a safe landing! I’m not here to tell you it’s more than it appears. I’m here to tell you it’s probably exactly as it appears. It comes out on July 13, so perhaps on the hottest day of the summer, forget your troubles and see The Rock save his family.

【1】Which film can you enjoy this May?

A. Book Club. B. Tag. C. Uncle Drew. D. Skyscraper.

【2】What is strange about Uncle Drew?

A. A lot of people in old-age makeup are very funny.

B. A young man has to employ some NBA legends to play in a game.

C. Some current NBA superstars will star in the film.

D. The author cannot wait to see the film.

【3】Which film is not a comedy?

A. Book Club. B. Tag. C. Uncle Drew. D. Skyscraper.

【題目】 Desiree was only four when she lost her Dad. Instead of gradually adjusting to his death, Desiree refused to accept it and even wanted to die so as to be with her father. Concerned about her daughter, Rhonda turned to her mother, Trish Moore, for help.

November 8 of 1993 would have been Ken’s 29th birthday. So Trish advised Desiree to send her father a card. Desiree’s eyes lit up as she dictated a letter, “Happy birthday, Daddy. I love you and miss you. I hope you get this and can write to me on my birthday.” Trish wrote the message and their address on a small piece of paper and tied it to the end of the string on a balloon with a drawing of the Little Mermaid (美人魚). Finally, Desiree released the balloon.

On November 12 in eastern Canada, Wade MacKinnon was duck-hunting. Suddenly something in the bushes caught his eye. Curious, he approached to find a silver balloon. The letter finished with a mailing address in Live Oak, California. The balloon traveled 3,000 miles. What a coincidence! A Little Mermaid balloon landed at Mermaid Lake. To help Desiree, the MacKinnons wrote her a letter with a birthday card and an adaptation of The Little mermaid.

The MacKinnons’ package arrived later on Desiree’s birthday. The letter read, “Happy birthday from your daddy. You must be wondering who we are. Well, it all started... There are no stores in heaven, so your daddy picked us to do the shopping. We know your daddy loves you very much and wants you to be happy and not sad. Lots of love, the MacKinnons.”

Tears in eyes, Desiree said, “I knew Daddy would find a way not to forget me.” Next, Trish began to read the Little Mermaid to her, in which the mermaid was finally carried away by angels. “The mermaid goes to heaven just like Daddy!” Desiree said with delight. She understood then her father was with her always.

【1】Why did Rhonda ask her mother for help?

A.Her husband passed away too young.

【題目】Next time you’re planning to go out for a relaxing walk with your MP3 player, be sure to check the weather forecast first. Summer is the prime time for lightning strikes, a fact that Jason Bunch, a teen from Castle Rock, Colo, learned in a hard way. A couple of summers ago, he was mowing (割草) grass while listening to some Metallica on his iPod. Although there wasn’t any rain falling on Bunch, he did hear distant thunder. Bunch was then struck by lightning, which seemed to travel through his music player, blowing out his eardrums and leaving him with burns where the device and its power lines were close to his body.

Devices such as MP3 players don’t attract lightning, says Dr. Mary Ann Cooper, an emergency room physician at the University of Illinois Medical Center in Chicago. However, they may change the pathway that lightning’s energy follows in the human body. Lightning that might have passed rather harmlessly over the skin may react differently to the metal of these devices and cause damage.

Rather than leaving your tunes at home, your best bet is watching out for lightning before it hits. Though people have been injured while using MP3 players in storms, Cooper says, “The devices’ main task is keeping you from paying attention to thunder and the sky.” If you’re caught in a storm, seek shelter.

【1】When does lightning happen most?

A. Winter. B. Fall. C. Summer. D. Spring.

【2】What was the effect of this lightning strike on Jason Bunch?

A. The lightning burned Bunch and blew out his eardrums.

B. The lightning passed harmlessly over Bunch’s skin.

C. Bunch fell to the ground and couldn’t move his upper body.

D. Bunch was fine, but his iPod was burned by the lightning.

【3】What can you conclude about the safety of using MP3 players during a storm?

A. MP3 players are desperately unsafe to use during a storm.

B. IPods are safe to use during a storm, but other MP3 players are not.

C. MP3 players increase your safety during a storm by directing lightning toward the ground.

D. MP3 players become unsafe to use if they keep you from paying attention during a storm.

【4】The primary purpose of this text is .

A. to describe the joy that Jason Bunch felt after he survived a lightning strike

B. to inform the risks of wearing an MP3 player during lightning strikes

C. to tell a lightning emergency Jason Bunch met with

D. to show that MP3 players are so popular among teenagers
