If you live in the United States, the law says you can’t have a full-time job until you are 16 years old. At 14 or 15, you can work part-time after school or on weekends, and during summer you can work 40 hours each week. Does all that mean that if you are younger than 14, you can’t earn (赚) your own money? Of course not! Kids who are between the ages of 10 and 13 can earn money by doing lots of things.
Valerie, 11, told us that she made money by cleaning up other people’s yards. Lena, 13, makes money by knitting (织) dog sweaters and selling them to her neighbors, and Reisa said she had started taking art classes and showing her work to people. People have asked her to draw pictures for them and they pay her for them. Jasmine, 13, writes articles for different magazines!
Earning is learning. By working to earn your own money, you are learning the skills you will need to succeed in life. These skills can include things like getting along with others, using technology (技术) and using your time. Some people think that asking for money is a lot easier than earning it; however, when you make your own money, you don’t have to depend on someone else. The five dollars that you earn will probably make you feel a lot better in your hand than the twenty dollars you ask for.

If you're traveling to the United States,you need to understand the common way to say hello-a handshake. Friends shake hands. Women,men and even children can shake hands.
Shaking hands also seems simple,but there are some important things to remember. When you shake hands,you must look into the other person's eyes the whole time you're shaking hands.
Shake hands strongly. If you give a weak handshake,the other person might think that you're not kind. He / She might also feel that you don't like him / her or you don't want to touch him / her. Shake hands with men and women the same way. If you shake hands with a very old person or a small child,be careful not to hurt them.
Some people don't know how long to keep shaking. The most common handshake should have three shakes and then you should let go. Don't worry if Americans shake hands a little longer.
Your handshake is like your smile. It's special to you. You need to find a comfortable strong handshake that shows what you are like. Because the handshake allows people to touch,the hand should be warm,clean and dry.
Warm:Put your hands into your pockets before you shake hands. This will warm them.
Clean:If you know you're going to meet someone,wash your hands so they'll be clean.
Dry:Everyone gets nervous and your hands may get wet. It isn't a good feeling for the other person. Again,put your hands into your pockets. This will dry them.

In the United States, each farm family lives on its own fields, and often can’t see any people living around. Instead of travelling from a village to the fields every morning, American farmers stay on their land all the week. They travel to the nearest town on Saturdays for shopping or on Sundays for church. The children ride on buses to large schools which serve all of the farm families living in the area. In some areas, there are not big schools serving a few families, and the children walk to school. Of course life keeps changing for everyone, including farmers. Today there are cars, good roads, radios, and television set. And of course there are modern machines for farming. All of these have changed farm life. For many years, farmers had to deal with their own problems, instead of getting help from others. They learned to try new methods (方法) and to believe their own ideas instead of following old ways.

In the United States, it is not usual to telephone someone early in the morning. If you telephone early in the day, while he is shaving or having breakfast, the time of the call shows that the matter is very important and requires immediate(立即的) attention. So it is with the telephone calls made after 11:00 pm. If someone receives a call during sleeping hours, he may think that it’s a matter of life and death. The time chosen for the call communicates its importance.
In social life, time plays a very important part. In the USA guests are likely to feel they are not highly regarded if the invitation to a dinner party reaches them only three or four days before the party date. But it is not true in all countries. In other areas of the world, it may be thought silly to make an appointment(约会) too far ahead because plans which are made for a date more than a week away may be forgotten. The meaning of time is not the same in different cultures that treat time differently; being on time is valued highly in American life, for example. If people are not on time, they may be regarded as impolite or not fully responsible(责任). In the USA no one would think of keeping a business friend for an hour; it would be too impolite. A person who is 5 minutes late is asked to make a shout apology (道歉). If he is less than 5 minutes late, he will say a few words of explanation(解释), though perhaps he will not complete the sentence.
1.A call at midnight would mean_________.
A.the matter is less important
B.the matter is too difficult to handle
C.the matter requires immediate attention
D.it is a matter of life and death
2.According to the passage, time plays a very important part in__________.
A.everyday life B.personal life
C.getting along with others D.business
3.In the passage, the writer suggests that invitation cards should be sent___________.
A.three or four days before the party date in all cultures
B.three or four days before the party date in some cultures
C.three or four days before the party date in the USA
D.at your chosen time

If you ask me to tell how to get along in the United States, I think the following “do's” and “don'ts” would be helpful.
Generally speaking, it isn't easy to find anyone to talk to in a busy city, so you should try to do the following. First, get or borrow a dog! Walk him several times a day! Americans love dogs and cats and usually stop to talk to anyone with a dog. Then, try to eat in a restaurant. People generally share the same table and will sometimes talk to you if they see you are new there. Next, take your dirty clothes to a laundry(洗衣店)! It takes about an hour to wash and dry them and people there often pass the time talking with each other. Always ask for information from a woman if you are a man, and from a man, if you are a woman! Learn to say, “Please” “Thank you” and “You're welcome” and use them all the time!
There are some things you shouldn't do. Don't tell the truth when people ask, “How are you?” The only answer they want is “Fine”. Never ask people their age—especially(尤其) women! Everyone wants to be young. Don't tell heavy people they are fat. Tell them they are losing weight. Everyone wants to be thin. Don't be late when meeting people! When someone says six o'clock, be sure to be there by six. Americans respect time and want everyone to be “on time”.

Learning to love reading
Taking public transportation in the United States, you can often see people reading books on their way to school or work. But in China, I rarely (很少地) see people reading during their free time.
Are people’s attitudes toward reading different here? Not really. Data (数据) released by Amazon China in December 2017 show that Chinese people still read a lot. They simply prefer e-books over regular books.
However, other data show that reading is still more popular in the us than in China. Is there a reason for this difference? I’m not sure. What I do know is that China has a rich history of literature (文学). From classic novels like Romance of the Three Kingdoms (《三国演义》) to the modern science-fiction books The Three-Body Problem (《三体》), and many other styles, Chinese authors have created many fantastic written works.
Perhaps the difference starts from childhood. Reading textbooks and doing homework can make you feel quite tired. By the time you finish it, you might not feel like reading for fun. Chinese students definitely (肯定) have to read more and do more homework than US students. So it’s no wonder that they might not want to read much in their spare time.
But learning to love reading can be great. Reading can open doors to places, people and ideas that you cannot imagine. Even just a single book has the power to change your own personal beliefs and attitudes. Where will your next book take you?
1.From Paragraph 1, what do we know about people in the US?
A. Most people take public transportation to work.
B. Students have homework to do on their way to school.
C. Many of them have the habit of reading.
D. They read books that are left behind on public transportation.
2.Chinese authors have created many fantastic written works including ________.
A. classic novels B. science-fiction books
C. realistic novels D. All above
3.Which of the following is TRUE?
A. Chinese people’s attitudes toward reading have changed.
B. Chinese people prefer e-books to regular books now.
C. Chinese people never read in their spare time.
D. Chinese people bought the most books from Amazon China in 2017.
4.Why is reading less popular in China, according to the author?
A. Because Chinese people prefer to watch plays instead of reading.
B. Because it’s hard to choose what to read.
C. Because Chinese people already read enough books during their childhoods.
D. Because People’s childhood experiences may influence their reading habits.
5.According to the author, reading books can ________.
A. help you learn more about schoolwork B. take too much of your time
C. make you feel tired D. change your view of the world
