It’s never too early to start considering the future. Now, here are some good choices for you.‎ Retail（零售） Sales Retail offers plenty of opportunities for teens who are looking for jobs. This type of work can pay from $ 10 to $15 an hour depending upon the duty you are expected to take on. It can also be great for teens who are friendly and enjoy talking to other people.

Just call 4005077 for more information.‎ Babysitter This job requires someone who is highly responsible. Though it pays generally between $6 and $8 hourly, it also requires a lot of patience.

Babysitter C. Food Service D. Housekeeping B For Canaan Elementary’s second grade in Patchogue, N.Y.，today is speech day, and right now it’s Chris Palaez’s turn. The 8-year-old is the joker of the class. With shining dark eyes, he seems like the kind of kid who would enjoy public speaking.‎ But he’s nervous.“I’m here to tell you today why you should … should…”Chris trips on the“-ld,”a pronunciation difficulty for many non-native English speakers. His teacher, Thomas Whaley, is next to him, whispering support.“…Vote for …me …”Except for some stumbles, Chris is doing amazingly well. When he brings his speech to a nice conclusion, Whaley invites the rest of the class to praise him.‎ A son of immigrants, Chris stared learning English a little over three years ago. Whaley recalls（回想起）how at the beginning of the year，when called upon to read，Chris would excuse himself to go to the bathroom.‎ Learning English as a second language can be a painful experience. What you need is a great teacher who lets you make mistakes. “It takes a lot for any student，” Whaley explains，“especially for a student who is learning English as their new language，to feel confident enough to say，‘I don’t know，but I want to know.’”‎ Whaley got the idea of this second-grade presidential campaign project when he asked the children one day to raise their hands if they thought they could never be a president. The answer broke his heart. Whaley says the project is about more than just ‎ learning to read and speak in public. He wants these kids to learn to boast（夸耀）about themselves.‎ ‎“Boasting about yourself，and your best qualities,” Whaley says，“is very difficult for a child who came into the classroom not feeling confident.”‎ ‎4. What made Chris nervous？‎ A. Telling a story.     B. Making a speech.‎ C. Taking a test.      D. Answering a question.‎ ‎5. What does the underlined word “stumbles” in paragraph 2 refer to?‎ A. Improper pauses.  B. Bad manners.  C. Spelling mistakes.  D. Silly jokes.‎ ‎6. We can infer that the purpose of Whaley’s project is to _________.‎ A. help students see their own strengths B. assess students’public speaking skills C. prepare students for their future jobs D. inspire students’ love for politics ‎7. Which of the following best describes Whaley as a teacher?‎ A. Humorous.    B. Ambitious.    C. Caring.  D. Demanding.‎ C For Western designers, China and its rich culture have long been an inspiration for Western creative.‎ ‎“It’s no secret that China has always been a source(来源）of inspiration for designers,” says Amanda Hill, chief creative officer at A+E Networks, a global media company and home to some of the biggest fashion shows. ‎ Earlier this year, the China Through A Looking Glass exhibition in New York exhibited 140 pieces of China-inspired fashionable clothing alongside Chinese works of art, with the aim of exploring the influence of Chinese aesthetics(美学) on Western fashion and how China has fueled the fashionable imagination for centuries. The exhibition had record attendance, showing that there is huge interest in Chinese influences.‎ ‎"China is impossible to overlook, “says Hill. "Chinese models are the faces of beauty and fashion campaigns that sell dreams to women all over the world, which ‎ means Chinese women are not just consumers of fashion---they are central to its movement.” Of course, not only are today's top Western designers being influenced by China---some of the best designers of contemporary fashion are themselves Chinese. “ Vera Wang, Alexander Wang, Jason Wu are taking on Galiano, Albaz, Marc Jacobs---and beating them hands down in design and sales,” adds Hill.‎ For Hill, it is impossible not to talk about China as the leading player when discussing fashion. “The most famous designers are Chinese, so are the models, and so are the consumers," she says. "China is no longer just another market; in many senses it has become the market. If you talk about fashion today, you are talking about China---its influences, its direction, its breathtaking clothes, and how young designers and models are finally acknowledging that in many ways."‎ 8. What can we learn about the exhibition in New York?‎ A. It promoted the sales of artworks.  B. It attracted a large number of visitors.‎ C. It showed ancient Chinese clothes.  D. It aimed to introduce Chinese models.‎ ‎9. What does Hill say about Chinese women?‎ A. They are setting the fashion.    B. They start many fashion campaigns.‎ C. They admire super models.    D. They do business all over the world.‎ ‎10. What do the underlined words "taking on" in paragraph 4 mean?‎ A. learning from   B. looking down on  C. working with   D. competing against ‎11. What can be a suitable title for the text?‎ A. Young Models Selling Dreams to the World B.A Chinese Art Exhibition Held in ‎New York C. Differences Between Eastern and Western Aesthetics D. Chinese Culture Fueling International Fashion Trends D The Intelligent Transport team at Newcastle University have turned an electric car into a mobile laboratory named “DriveLAB” in order to understand the challenges faced by older drivers and to discover where the key stress points are.‎ Research shows that giving up driving is one of the key reasons for a fall in health ‎ and well-being among older people, leading to them becoming more isolated(隔绝) and inactive.‎ Led by Professor Phil Blythe, the Newcastle team are developing in-vehicle technologies for older drivers which they hope could help them to continue driving into later life.‎ These include custom-made navigation(导航) tools, night vision systems and intelligent speed adaptations. Phil Blythe explains: “ For many older people, particularly those living alone or in the country, driving is important for preserving their independence, giving them the freedom to get out and about without having to rely on others.”‎ ‎“But we all have to accept that as we get older our reactions slow down and this often results in people avoiding any potentially challenging driving conditions and losing confidence in their driving skills. The result is that people stop driving before they really need to.”‎ Dr Amy Guo, the leading researcher on the older driver study, explains: “ The DriveLAB is helping us to understand what the key stress points and difficulties are for older drivers and how we might use technology to address(处理) these problems.”‎ ‎“For example, most of us would expect older drivers always go slower than everyone else but surprisingly, we found that in ‎30mph zones they struggled to keep at a constant speed and so were more likely to break the speed limit and be at risk of getting fined. We’re looking at the benefits of systems which control their speed as a way of preventing that. ”‎ ‎“ We hope that our work will help with technological solutions(解决方案) to ensure that older drivers stay behind the wheel. ” ‎ ‎12. What is the purpose of the DriveLAB ?‎ A. To explore new means of transport. ‎ B. To design new types of cars.‎ C. To find out older drivers’ problems. ‎ D. To teach people traffic rules. ‎ ‎13.Why is driving important for older people according to Phil Blythe?‎ A It keeps them independent. B It helps them save time. ‎ C It builds up their strength. D It cures their mental illnesses. ‎ ‎14. What do researchers hope to do for older drivers?‎ A. Improve their driving skills. B. Develop driver-assist technologies.‎ C. Provide tips on repairing their cars. D. Organize regular physical checkups..‎ ‎15. What is the best title for the text?‎ A. A New Model Electric Car B. A Solution to Traffic Problems ‎ C.Driving Services for Elders D. Keeping Older Drivers on the Road 第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分） ‎ 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。‎ How to Have a Successful Teenage Life Everyone wants to succeed in their life, don’t they?
