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 can we conclude from Para 2?
A.Students taking up part-time jobs are more independent.
B.Taking up part-time jobs can help students save money.
C.Taking up part-time jobs is good for students in many ways.
D.Children over 13 in the UK must take up part-time jobs.
2.The underlined word “deleterious” in Para 3 means _________.
A.important B.harmful
C.threatening D.beneficial
3.Which of the following might Geoff Barton agree with?
A.Students with good grades and no study pressure can do part-time jobs.
B.Students should put all their energies into their studies.
C.The more part-time jobs they do, the more beneficial it is for students.
D.It is good for students to do part-time jobs as long as they are proper.
4.Which of the following 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?

Were you into skateboarding，surfing or snowboarding when you were a kid？We can remember our first (less than successful) go at skateboarding，as well as the first time we managed to stand up on one of those surfboards.
It was so much fun that we were hooked for life. However，not everyone thinks that introducing children to extreme sports is a good idea.
In the article from The New York Times，writer Jon Lackman considers whether sports like snowboarding，climbing and skateboarding could be dangerous to the growing bodies of young children and looks for advice from medical professionals.
“Kids aren’t mentally ready for these activities，” says professor of orthopaedics(矫形外科)，Dr. Vani Sabesan. “They tend to underestimate(低估) the risks，and their parents can’t always be trusted to keep them in check. ”
Sabesan is particularly worried about the effects of extreme sports on TV and the Internet on children. “What we’re seeing is a lot of kids thinking maybe they can do what these professional athletes can do. ”
As someone who was encouraged to give bodyboarding a go by the age of five and then presented with a surfboard aged seven，I think these worries are a little overstated(夸大的)，if not misplaced.
Extreme sports can be dangerous，yes，but there’s as much chance of falling off your bike or your roller skates as off a skateboard or surfboard.
My own experience of extreme sports leads me to think that I’ll allow my own kids to try them in the same way my parents allowed me.
In sports such as surfing and snowboarding，there’s a sense of adventure and courage that is important to instill(慢慢灌输) in young children.
Did I fall off my surfboard？All the time. Did I get back on？Every time.
Are the more extreme sports too dangerous for younger kids and better saved for teenagers？Are extreme sports a great experience for all children to have and a great way to make the most out of your childhood?
1.What does the underlined word “hooked” in Paragraph 2 probably mean?
A.Warned. B.Cheated.
C.Attracted. D.Confused.
2.What’s Jon Lackman’s attitude towards kids taking part in extreme sports?
A.Amazed. B.Doubtful.
C.Admiring. D.Supportive.
3.What did the author’s parents expect him to do when he was very young?
A.To have a spirit of adventure.
B.To set a good example to others.
C.To become a professional athlete.
D.To get away from extreme sports.
4.What does the author think of extreme sports?
A.They are really very dangerous for kids.
B.They are as easy to learn as roller skating.
C.They are helpful for kids to find their courage.
D.They are more suitable for teenagers than kids.

When you’re new to a school or campus, your smartphone will be your new beat friend. Here are four kinds of apps to help you get started in the US.
1. Social media: 1. You can use Facebook to communicate with various groups or people that share a common interest. Apps like Snapchat are more for close friends. Instagram focuses on photos you share. Twitter limits you to 280 character per “tweet,” or post. 2.
2. Ride-sharing: Need a ride? 3. Then you will find out how far the nearest ride is to your location and how much it will cost to get where you want to go. The app is linked to your bank account, so you don’t have to worry about carrying cash.
3. Eating: Don’t want to get off the couch（沙发）or move away from your desk? Order from almost any nearby restaurant, pay online, and wait for a delivery driver to bring it to your front door through Grubhub, UberEats or DoorDash. 4.
4. Texting/Phoning Home: College students like to communicate in groups, which makes messaging apps common on campus smartphones. 5. But using apps like WhatsApp, GroupMe or Slack for calls or texts makes it cost-effective on a student’s tight budget.
A. Type your destination into Uber or Lyft.
B. That’s because it can help you make many friends.
C. Therefore, you learn to be brief, to the point and clever.
D. Turn to the computer for help and search for the destination.
E. And cellphone carriers may charge high fees for international calls.
F. This is great for students who don’t have a car or the time to fetch food.
G. These are the big ones in the US: Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and Snapchat.

Don't drive your kids to school. Let them ride a bike to school.
In England 8.3 million children travel to school every day. It is reported that only a small number of pupils cycle to school (under 2%), although one in three children would actually like to.
Experts say that to stay healthy, children need at least one hour of moderate (适度的) exercise every day. But only six out of ten boys and four out of ten girls get that. One of the reasons is that parents have developed a habit of driving their children to school when they could just walk or ride a bike to school.
Teachers often say that children who walk or ride a bike to school are more ready to listen to their classes, ask and answer questions in class than those driven by car, and the school journey is a good chance for children to learn about road safety and other life skills. Also, for many children, riding a bike is more fun than going to school by car.
Most parents know the benefits. Then what's stopping them from letting their kids ride a bike? Safety is the number one worry for them. But actually riding a bike is not as dangerous as parents think it is.
When you decide to buy a bike, you should be aware (意识到) that a bike that is too big or too small is dangerous. Don't try to get a bike that your child will “grow into”. Get the right size in good working order. Generally, 20 inch wheels are on bikes for 5-8 year old; 24 inch wheels are for 9-11 year old; 26 inch wheels are suitable for those over 11, and some older children should even take bikes with 28 inch wheels, but the main thing is that the bike fits your child.
1.This passage is mainly written for ________.
A.teachers whose students have asked their parents to drive them to school
B.children who have asked their parents to drive them to school
C.parents who drive their children to school
D.parents who drive to work
2.Which of the following benefits of cycling to school is NOT mentioned in the passage?
A.It will help children keep healthy.
B.It will make children more active in class.
C.It will make children feel freer.
D.It will be more fun for children.
3.Parents don't allow their children to ride a bike to school mainly because ________.
A.their children don't want to
B.they are worried about their children's safety
C.they don't know what size bike to choose
D.they haven't enough money to buy a bike
4.Generally, what size bike is suitable for a 10yearold child?
A.A bike with 20inch wheels.
B.A bike with 24inch wheels.
C.A bike with 26inch wheels.
D.A bike with 28inch wheels

Kids need to move in school
Many years ago, when my girls were in primary school, they were crazy about the dance breaks they would occasionally have during the school day. Their teachers would put on a video, which encouraged the kids to get up and dance, and then they' d get back to work.1. Many teachers are including some form of movement into the school day.
A recent research, published in the journal Pediatrics, involved more than 10,000 children between the ages of 4 and 13. 2. Susan Kamin, leader of the research, said, “Activity breaks during the school day also lead to fewer behavioral issues, not to mention cutting down on stress and anxiety."
Breakthrough Magnet School, Connecticut, is in its third year working with the National Association of Physical Literacy. Principal Julie Goldstein said her third-and fourth-graders who are actively engaged in the physical programme are the highest-scoring students in math and reading in the district.3. For this school year, not one student from this group has been referred to her office for a conversation. Before the programme, she might have had one or two office coversations with some of them every month.
4. “I know lots of teachers who say, 'Yeah, I wish I had more time to do this,'” Kamin said, “Even in schools that can find the time, there is still some opposition (反对)because it's a departure from the way things used to be. It's a big change for some of the teachers.5.Yet the schools that have made the change see tremendous results. So how do you move the needle?"
A.My kids' teachers are certainly not alone.
B.They're not sure whether to make that leap.
C.The challenge, though, is persuading more schools to take action.
D.Teach children the basics of movement so that they can stay active for life.
E.Beyond the academical (学业的) benefits, there are benefits outside the classroom.
F.It shows that kids who get extra physical activity in school do better in cognitive(认知的) performance.

If you do not use your arms or your legs for some time, they become weak. When you start using them again, they slowly become strong again. Everybody knows this. Yet there are many people who do not seem to know that one’s memory works in the same way. When someone says that he has a good memory, he really means that he keeps his memory in practice by exercising it regularly. When someone else says that his memory is poor, he really means that he does not give it enough chance to become strong.
If a friend complains that his arms are weak, we know that it is his own fault. But if he tells us that he has a poor memory, many of us think that his parents are to blame, or that he is just unlucky, and few of us realize that it is really his own fault. Not all of us can become very strong or very clever, but all of us can improve our memory by the same means — practice.
Have you ever noticed that people who cannot read or write usually have a better memory than those who can? Why is this? Of course, because people who can’t read or write have to remember things: they cannot write them down in a little notebook. They have to remember dates, prices, names, songs and stories, so their memory is exercised all the time.
So if you want a good memory, learn from those who cannot read or write: practice remembering.
1.According to the passage, few people know that _____.
A. arms or legs become weak if they are not used for some time
B. when they start using their arms or legs again, they slowly become strong again
C. a person’s memory becomes weak if he does not practice remembering things
D. it is their own fault if their arms or legs are weak
2.The author thinks that if a person has a poor memory, _________.
A. it is his own fault B. his parents are to blame
C. he is just unlucky D. his arms must be weak
3.From Paragraph 3, we can learn that ___.
A. people who can’t read are cleverer than those who can
B. people who can’t write are cleverer than those who can
C. a little notebook helps people who cannot read or write get a better memory
D. people who practice remembering regularly have a better memory
4.The passage mainly tells us ____________.
A. how to get our arms and legs stronger B. how to improve our memory
C. how to read and write D. how to remember dates and prices

Have you ever found that some people can't read or write but they have better memories? This is because they cannot read or write and they have to remember things; they cannot write them down in a little notebook. They have to remember days, names, songs and stories; so their memory is the whole time being exercised.
So if you want to have a good memory, learn from the people: practise remembering.

A．you can't use them any more
B．they will become stronger
