Do you remember your first day of school? Were you excited or a bit scared? When I started school, I lived in an area of southern Germany. I remember how frightened I was, mostly because I didn’t know what to expect.

My mother and I walked quietly, downhill into the center of town. When we entered the classroom, I noticed all the children were sitting quietly in their seats. Anxiously, I picked a spot next to a friendly-looking girl.

In my nervousness, I had totally forgotten I was to receive a Schultuete (school cone) on the first day of school, but as I looked at my teacher's desk I remembered. Her desk was covered with huge cardboard cones. I knew that my mother had filled my Schultuete with goodies and brought it to my classroom the day before, but I didn't know which one was mine.

That morning, the focus of my attention remained with those cones. All of the fear slowly disappeared. When the teacher asked me to approach the desk, she did not seem threatening at all. When she smilingly handed me my Schultuete, I was the happiest girl.

Proudly, I carried my gift home. The hill did not seem steep at all. Hurriedly, I unwrapped my Schultuete and discovered candies, chocolates, and oranges. This day stayed in my mind as one of the sweetest in my life.

When I was older I asked my mother about her first day of school. She told me she hadn't received a Schultuete from her parents because the custom had not been established all over Germany at that time.

The custom began in the cities in the 1800s and then spread to the towns and villages. By the early 1950s, the tradition of the Schultuete was established all over the country. And it has been passed on even in the present day.

1.How did the author feel at first about her first day of school?

A.Excited B.Confused

C.Afraid D.Delighted

2.According to the text, a Schultuete _____.

A.is given to kids as a gift on their first day of school

B.is presented as a reward by a school teacher

C.became popular in the early 19th century

D.is usually filled with school supplies

3.The underlined sentence “The hill did not seem steep at all” implies that ____.

A.the author was in good health B.the author was very excited then

C.the author enjoyed climbing hills D.the author missed her mother badly

When you were at school, the last thing you probably wanted to do was to spend your weekends going to work. There was homework to do, sport to play and fun to have. But our parents probably persuaded us to find a job to earn some money and get some life experience. When I was a teenager I had a paper round: delivering newspapers to people’s homes.

Today in the UK you are allowed to work from the age of 13, and many children do take up part-time jobs. It’s one of those things that are seen almost as a rite of passage (成人仪式). It’s a taste of independence and sometimes a useful thing to put on your CV（简历). Teenagers agree that it teaches valuable lessons about working with adults and also about managing their own money.

Some research has shown that not taking up a Saturday or holiday job could be deleterious to a person later on. A 2015 study by the UK Commission on Employment and Skills found that not participating in part-time work at school age had been blamed by employers’ organizations for young adults being ill-prepared for full-time employment, but despite this, recent statistics have shown that the number of schoolchildren in the UK with a part-time job has fallen by a fifth in the past five years.

So does this mean that British teenagers are now afraid of hard work? Probably not. Some experts feel that young people feel going out to work will affect their performance at school and they are under some pressure now to study hard and get good exam result and a good job in the long term. However, Geoff Barton, general secretary of the Association of School and College Leaders, told BBC News that “Properly regulated part-time work is a good way of helping young people learn skills that they will need in their working lives.” In reality, it’s all about getting the right balance between doing part-time work and having enough time to study and rest.

Many young people actually want to work because it gives them a sense of freedom. One 13-year-old girl called Rachel, who has a Saturday job in a shop, told the BBC that “I enjoy my job because I’m earning money and it helps me socialize with people I work with.” That seems like something worth getting up for a Saturday morning. Did you do a part-time job when you were at school?

1.What conclusion can we draw from Para2?

A.Children over 13 in the UK must take up part-time jobs.

B.Taking up part-time jobs is good for students in many ways.

C.Students taking up part-time jobs are more independent.

D.Taking up part-time jobs can help students save money.

2.What’s the meaning of the underlined word “deleterious”?

A.Threatening. B.Important.

C.Beneficial. D.Harmful.

3.Why don’t some British schoolchildren take up part-time jobs according to some experts?

A.Because they are not ready to go out to work.

B.Because they cannot endure hardships.

C.Because they want to study hard and get good academic performance.

D.Because they lack confidence and skills needed to work.

4.Which of the following will Geoff Barton agree with?

A.Students should put all their energies into their studies.

B.It is good for students to do part-time jobs as long as they are proper.

C.Students with good grades and no study pressure can do part-time jobs.

D.The more part-time jobs they do, the more beneficial it is for students.

5.What can be a suitable title for the text?

A.Should schoolchildren have part-time jobs?

B.What kind of part-time job should schoolchildren do?

C.What benefits can part-time jobs bring to schoolchildren?

D.Why do British schoolchildren show less interest in part-time jobs?
