International students are allowed to work for the university they study at or for a business at the school. But the business must directly provide a service for students. You could work at the bookstore, for example, but not for a company that is building something at the school. Also, a foreign student cannot take the place of an American in a job.

International students can work 20 hours a week while having classes; more during school breaks. You can work until you finish your studies.

International students normally cannot take a job that has nothing to do with their school. But the government may give permission if students are suddenly faced with difficulties. Examples include large medical bills, the shortage of financial (财政上的) aid or an unexpected change in the financial support.

Students must also meet other conditions (条件). They must have studied at their American school for at least one year. Students must ask for permission again after a year if they want to continue an off-campus (校外的) job.

International students who will be studying at graduate school can apply (申请) for some jobs before they come to the United States. A good example is a university job like a teaching or research assistant.

Some schools pay their assistants. Others provide free education in return. Many do both. Graduate assistants might teach, give tests, grade work, help with research and clean the offices. Many universities now provide language training for foreign teaching assistants to help them improve their English. Some schools ask foreign students to pass an English speaking test before they are allowed to teach.

International student offices at schools have to provide information on students each term for the Department of Homeland Security. Students who violate visa (签证) rules — for example, by working off-campus without permission — could be sent home.

1.What can we learn according to the passage?

A. All the international students can work for large companies.

A. international students could apply for some jobs before coming to the US

B. all the schools pay their assistants and provide free education for them

C. international students cannot take their jobs before having language training

D. international students normally are not completely free to choose their jobs

3.The underlined word “violate” in the last paragraph probably means ____.

A. ask for　　 B. go against　　　 C. forget　　 D. obey

4.What is the passage mainly about?

A. The rules about getting a job while studying in the US for international students.

Although American children still spend part of their days reading, they are spending less time doing it for pleasure than years ago, with large gaps(差距) in proficiency(熟练)，according to a recent report.

“It raises an alarm,” said Vicky Rideout, the lead author of the report. “We’re witnessing a really large drop in reading among teenagers and the speed of that drop is getting faster and faster.”

The report found that the percentage of nine-year-old children reading for pleasure once or more per week had dropped from 81 percent in 1984 to 76 percent in 2013, based on government studies. About a third of 13-year-olds and almost half of 17-year-olds reported in one study that they read for pleasure less than twice a year.

Of those who read or are read to, children often spend on average between 30 minutes and an hour daily with that activity, the report found. Older children and teenagers tend(倾向于) to read for pleasure for an equally long time each day.

Rideout warned that there may be differences in how people come across texts and the included studies may not take into account stories read on line or on social media.

The report also found that many young children are struggling with literacy(识字). Only about one-third of fourth grade students are “proficient” in reading and another one-third scored below “basic” in reading skills.

Despite the large percentage of children with below-basic reading skills, reading scores among young children have improved since the 1970s, according to one test that measures reading ability.

The reading scores among 17-year-olds, however, reminded relatively unchanged since the 1790s.

About 46 percent of white children are considered “proficient” in reading, compared with 18 percent of black children and 20 percent of Hispanic kids.

Those gap remained relatively unchanged over the past 20 years, according to the report.

“To go 20 years with no progress in that area is shameful”, Rideout said.

The report stresses some behaviors that have been tied to children being more frequent readers. Those behaviors include parents setting aside time to read with their children and parents reading themselves to model good behavior.

1.The figures in paragraph 3 show that_____.

A. fewer children read for pleasure.

B. older children are busier than young children.

C. teenagers are more interested in online reading.

D. more elder children gain pleasure from reading.

2.Which of the following is TRUE about the report findings?

A. The reading scores among older children have improved.

B. The reading scores among young children haven’t changed.

C. The gap between black children and white children has narrowed.

D. Black children have lower proficiency in reading than white children.

3.What is the Vicky Rideout’s attitude towards the report findings?

A. Uncaring.　　　　 B. Doubtful.

C. Positive.　　 　　 D. Worried.

4.To make children frequent readers, parents should ______.

A. improve their reading skills.

B. read as many books as possible.

C. set a good example to their children.

D. spend more time with their children.

Liz, a graduate at the University of Wales, was going to spend a year at the University of Massachusetts. She had been invited to stay with the Van Dyke family. Alex, the eldest son, met her at the airport and drove her home, where Mrs. Van Dyke was waiting at the door.

"Welcome to America, Liz! "

They shook hands.

"How do you do, Mrs. Van Dyke? "

"Just call me Mary, " Mrs. Van Dyke said.

Liz looked round her, "Oh, what a lovely road! "

The road stretched(延伸) in a straight line as far as the distant highway. It was lines with trees and all the houses were built of wood and painted white.

"Your front gardens have not got any bedges(树篱) or walls between them. "

"We call them front yards over here, Liz! No, our front yards belong more to the street as a whole. We're more sociable than you are. We drop in on each other. You like to be more private. An Englishman’s home is his castle. Isn't that right, Liz? "

"Well, you're right. "

"Come on in! " Mrs. Van Dyke said. "I'll show you your room. "

Then Alex arrived in Liz's room with two suitcases(行李箱), saying, ''The closets(衣厨) are all empty. Know what I mean? ''

"Yes, cupboards! " Liz answered with a laugh. "I read somewhere not long ago, " she went on, "We call the things in the suitcases 'luggage', while you name it 'baggage'. I think British English and American English would soon be two separate languages. "

"Nonsense! " Alex replied, laughing. "In another ten years, you British may all be speaking American English. But I hope you don’t change your accent! "

A.A student graduated from Massachusetts.
