Should Schoolchildren Have Jobs?
When you were in school, the last thing you probably wanted to do was spend your weekends going to work. There was homework to do, sports 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. I then progressed to a Saturday job in a supermarket.
Today in the UK children are allowed to take part-time jobs from the age of 13. It’s one of those things that is seen almost as a rite of passage（成人仪式）. It’s a taste of independence. Teenagers agree that it teaches valuable lessons about working with adults and also about managing your money.
Some research has shown that not taking on a Saturday or holiday jab could be harmful to a person later on. According to a 2017 study in the UK, employers’ organizations believed that not participating in part-time work at school age caused young adults to be ill-prepared for full-time employment. But despite this, recent numbers 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 more afraid of hard work? Probably not. Some experts think that young people feel going out to work will affect their performance at school, and they are under more pressure now to study hard and get good exam results—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 controlled 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, who has a Saturday job in a shop, told the BBC that “I enjoy my job because I’m earning money and it helps my confidence speaking to people and socializing with people.” Did you do a part-time job when you were at school?
1.Employers believe if young adults don’t participate in part-time work at school age, ________.
A. they can’t work on their own
B. they can’t manage their money wisely
C. they won’t be well-prepared for the job
D. they won’t know how to work with others
2.According to some experts, ________ has caused fewer schoolchildren to do a par-time job in the past years.
A. more time to rest B. having enough money
C. being afraid of hard work D. more pressure from school
3.According to the passage, taking on a part-time job can help young people ________.
A. have a chance to see the world and meet more friends
B. understand their parents and grow up more quickly
C. learn skills and be confident to talk to people
D. get better grades and perform well in school

Deep inside, I wanted to change my________ But I also realized that once I did change, there'd be no going back.________I took on more responsibility, my parents would start_______more of me. At age fifteen, I sensed that this one small change would ______ something much bigger: my personal change from a cared-for, spoiled (被宠坏的) child to a more_____caring and giving young man.
I'll never forget the Wednesday when I made a(n)________to jump in and see what happened. Returning home from the________I disappeared into my room, as usual. But once inside, I felt that deep and burning_______.Throwing my school books on the bed, I suddenly opened my door and_______back to the garage to help my mother. How happy I felt that day!
Surely, over time, I continued to help out with more housework. The neat thing was, the more I helped out, the_______I felt about myself and my place in my family. As Mom and Dad realized they could ______on me more, our trips became far less stressful, too. In short, it was a win-win situation for everyone.
Sometimes the little things we put off doing the longest________ out to be the simplest things to complete. And feeling happy beats feeling guilty any day.

It was summer when I was asked whether I wanted to go to Malibu(an island in Canada)with my church to serve the military families. At first，I heard this and thought, “You are asking an eleven-year-old in his last weeks of summer if he wants to go on a trip with his mom to Canada to serve other people?” Of course, I responded with a kind refusal，but my mom found a way to convince me to go.
When we were on the ferry to the island，a thousand thoughts were running through my head, such as “What am I going to do here?” “Am I even going to be useful?” and “Why am I even here?" When we got to the island，I was asked to the child care. I was actually somewhat excited because my friend, said he would help me. The first time I met the kids, I got to know them pretty well. They were all between the ages of four and six. Some of them stayed behaved and a few of them started acting crazy and would even hit and push the other kids.
With those kids，1 was very strict，but 1 still tried to be positive and keep a smile. After all，they were just innocent kids. In most of 'he time，I needed to help them with things like washing clothe, and setting tables. Even though it sounded dull, I enjoyed every second of it. One of the things I did in my free time was to play pool(打台球). I made friends with a few kids there. They were really easy to talk to. Some of the things we talked about were sports, food, video games, and most of all pool.
Even though I was only at Malibu, Canada for one week, I feel like I made spiritual changes in some people's life. You don't have to go above and beyond to have an influence on someone's life. In the end, it all comes down to what way you changed them. It could have been in a spiritual way or a mental way as long as you had a positive effect. So go out and try to make a difference in this world.
1.How did the author react when asked if he liked to serve the military families?
A.He hardly believed it. B.He was very confused about the decision.
C.He refused to accept it. D.He was worried about the trip.
2.As a volunteer, the author's main task on the island was___.
A.to take care of kids there. B.to educate kids there.
C.to make friends with kids there. D.to share his experiences with kids there.
3.What can we know about the author's stay in Malibu?
A.He found thee kids very hard to deal with.
B.He didn't quite like the badly-behaved kids.
C.He managed to get along well with most kids.
D.He shared common hobbies with some kids.
4.What does the author mainly tell us in the last paragraph?

I began working in journalism when I was eight.It was my mother's idea.She wanted me to “make something” of myself,and decided I had better start young if I was to have any chance of keeping up with the competition.
