Should teenagers be allowed to have part-time jobs? We did a survey among two hundred people．According to the result, 78% say yes, and 22% say no．We choose some reasons as follows．
| Agree | Disagree |
| Jobs prepare teenagers for later life.
Many college graduates (毕业生) look forward to a satisfying (满意的) job．But almost all job interviewers say they want someone with experience．It’s difficult for you to get a job with no work experience. —Amy, Shanghai |
It is the time to study.

| Jobs teach responsibility (责任).
Teenagers at 14 and older should be allowed to have part-time jobs．They teach responsibility and how to work as a team．What’s more, teens who earn money at a young age can learn how to manage personal finances (财务)． —Tony, Guangzhou |
Kids should pay more attention to their education.
According to the survey, students who work more than15 hours per week might lose interest in school and their grades may drop．This means kids might not enter university if they work part-time for a long time. —Kate, Chongqing |

“Are you listening, Simon?” Simon’s teacher asked．Simon smiled and shook his head．He hardly listened in class．Talking was so much better．He just wanted to be heard.
That evening, Simon felt a little bit sick．His throat really hurt．He had ice cream and hot chocolate to make it feel better．The next morning, when he opened his mouth to say “Good morning”, nothing came out．“Honey, you’ve lost your voice,” said his mom．“Can I stay home?” He tried to ask, but words didn’t come out．Instead, his mother checked him for a fever and pronounced him good to go to school, even if he couldn’t talk．How awful!
When his classmates talked to him at school, he just shrugged (耸肩)．By the time the bell rang, almost everyone was looking at him as if he had grown a third eye．Simon sat in class, watching others talk to each other in groups．In Maths class, he could hold up fingers if the answer was less than 10, but that wasn’t fun．He decided to try to pay attention.
You know what? It wasn’t that bad．He could easily finish his homework that night．It gave him extra game time because his work was all done．The next day, even though his voice was coming back, he stayed quiet again．The third day, he could talk fine, but he listened and raised his hand to speak.
34．What happened to Simon one day?

When I was a little girl, my parents read bed time stories to my sister and me every night．It is one of my favourite childhood memories．
My sister and I had many books．As I grew older, I enjoyed staying in my father’s “library” and would read for hours each day．To make me play with friends outside like other kids, my parents would have to take books away from me.
I see reading as an important part of my everyday life, not just a hobby on which I can spend my free time．Reading opens up a whole new world to me, which includes lots of new ideas and rich knowledge.
Through reading, I’ve become a better learner.
Although I enjoy communicating with people, I’m an introverted person and really need my own time．Last year, I had several experiences that made me begin to feel worried about my shyness, and I felt that it would make me lose many chances．Around that time, I read Susan Cain’s book Quiet: The Power of Introverts in a World That Can’t Stop Talking．This book helped me understand myself better．And I’m not afraid to be myself now．
Charlie Jones says, “You will be the same person in five years as you are today except for the people you meet and the books you read.” I’ve met great people and travelled around the world—all from my chair or bed with a book in my hands.
37．What does the writer think of reading?
A．A good way to learn new things. B．A favourite hobby in her free time.
C．An activity that makes her different. D．A bridge between her friends and herself.
38．The underlined word “introverted” means “________” in Chinese.
A．独特的 B．懒散的 C．粗心的 D．内向的
39．How has reading helped the writer?
A．By making others understand her. B．By making her believe in herself.
C．By changing her into an organised girl. D．By encouraging (鼓励) her to change herself.
40．From Charlie Jones’ words, we can know that ________.
A．one person shouldn’t read the same books
B．making friends is as important as reading
C．books can help people grow into better ones
D．people should read more books in 5 years

Larry seemed always silent and didn’t have any friend．His teacher Mr．Brown noticed this．One day, he asked Larry to meet him after class．Mr．Brown said, “I see that you don’t talk to anyone or show any interest in anything．What’s wrong?” Larry replied, “Sir, I have a very difficult life．I have to face some very sad things and I keep thinking about them．Because of this, I can’t focus my attention on anything and don’t even feel like talking to anybody．
Mr．Brown listened carefully, thought for a while and said, “Would you like some lemonade(柠檬汽水)?” Larry felt a little surprised and nervously replied, “Yes, thank you!”
While preparing lemonade, Mr．Brown added more salt(盐) on purpose and kept the quantity of sugar low．Larry made a strange face as soon as he drank a sip of that lemonade．Seeing this, Mr．Brown asked, “You don’t like it?” “Um..．it’s just there is a bit too much salt in it,” Larry answered．Mr．Brown stopped him, “Oh, it doesn’t matter I will throw it away.” As the teacher was lifting the glass to take it away, Larry stopped him and said, “Sir, please don’t throw it away.” If we put a little more sugar in the lemonade, it will be fine to drink.”
Hearing this, Mr．Brown said “This is what I want to hear．To improve the taste of lemonade, we don’t need to remove the salt from it, we can just add some sugar to it．Similarly, we cannot remove sad things that have already happened to us, but we can add sweetness of good experiences in our life．If you keep on crying about your past, neither your present will be right nor the future will be bright.”
Larry realized his problem and promised to live a positive(积极的) life.

44．Which of the following shows the changes in Larry’s feelings?
A．Shy—Relaxed—Nervous—Happy B．Nervous—Happy—Shy—Relaxed
C Relaxed—Nervous—Shy—Happy D．Shy—Nervous—Relaxed—Happy
45．What can we learn from the text?

B．We can live a happier life if we see things from the bright side.

Even Luna herself was questioning before she decided to jump in, “Can I finish it? Will I push through when I’m busy? Will I share even when I can’t do it well? Will I show up every day?” Luna did it anyway．In the first year, Luna herself finished 100 days of self-portraits (自画像)．If you can dream it, you can do it．People of different ages joined in．Hillary Patrick, a want-to-be artist and mum of two, finished a project of embroidery (刺绣) while she had to look after two kids．Are you hungry to start a creative project? Do you want to be a part of a group that celebrates “process”? Start thinking about your project, and invite friends to join, too．As there is a famous saying, “If you want to go fast, go alone．If you want to go far, go together.”
