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?

高三英语单项填空简单题查看答案及解析

How would you like an easy way to earn $2,500? All you have to do is to sit around and wait for your meals. There's a catch however. You have to stay in a chicken cage with a stranger for a whole week. There are no books or television or radio for amusement. You can't leave until the week is up. And a camera will be recording your every move.

Two people actually took the job. The idea came from Rob Thompson, a video artist. He wanted to make a film about the way animals are  treated. His goal was  to raise people's awareness of the living conditions of animals that are raised for food.

He decided to pay $5,000 out of his own savings to two people who were willing to live like chickens for a week.

To Rob’s surprise, quite a few people answered his advertisement. He had interviewed and selected Eric, a 24-year-old restaurant worker, and Para, a 24-year-old chemist. The plan was for them to spend seven days together in a chicken cage that was six feet long and three feet wide. A camera would record their experiences, which would take place in an art museum.

The week was long and difficult. They slept on a hard wooden floor. They couldn't stand up without hanging their heads. They ate vegetables and drank water from a garden hosepipe. Their only privacy was a toilet surrounded by a curtain. There were no sinks, mirrors, or toothbrushes in the cage. Their only inspiration was the two framed checks that hung on the wall outside the cage. Visitors who came here were warned, “Do not feed the humans.”

Finally it was over, and Para and Eric appeared from their cage. They had survived the week, and they each had a $2,500 check in their hands. When Rob Thompson opened the cage,  Eric  came  out,  changed  into  clean clothes, and ate a chocolate bar right away. “It's great to be able to stand up,” he said. Para just changed her clothes and left. After a week of visitors and reporters watching her, she

didn't want to talk to anyone.

1.What kind of person is Rob Thompson?

A. He is curious about people's personal life.

B. He is kind-hearted to animals.

C. He hates people around.

D. He likes to help poor people.

2.The underlined word “catch” probably means _____.

A. unsolved problem                                  B. surprising wonder

C. unbelievable fact                                    D. hidden difficulty

3.Rob offered the money because he wanted _____ .

A. to see if there were any people who would like to live in a cage

B. to show the public how terrible animals' life could be

C. to make more money by publishing the recorded videotapes

D. to improve housing conditions of working people like Eric

4.Which of the following would be the best title for this passage?

A. Easy Way to Earn $ 2,500.                     B. Do Not Feed the Humans.

C. Living Like a Chicken.                    D. Getting Along Well Anyway.
