High school students need “cool” jobs in summer holidays. Working at popular retail chains(零售连锁店) and ice-cream shops are good choices. The U.S. Department of Labor(美国劳工部) says that about two-thirds of the teenager workers are in fast food business. 1/5 of cooks and food workers are between 16 and 19 years old and 2/5 of food workers are part-time workers.

If you think taking a part-time job is easier, you are wrong. For young people, whatever you do, do your jobs well. Because a good work record will be useful for higher-paid jobs in the future. Let’s share my story.

Unless with my family members, I would go to eat fast food. That doesn’t mean I don’t like working in a fast food restaurant. My first part-time job, at age 16, was at the McDonald’s in Bloomington, Indiana. It was very hard work. Especially on Indiana University football weekends, we had no time to rest, but we still had a lot of fun. Finally I got a higher-paid job.

A future manager believes that difficult work encourages success. The growing U.S. population will bring more restaurants. While many people can’t deal with the pressure(压力) to fill orders quickly, the people who really do a great job will get plenty of rewards in the workplace.

1.According to the U.S. Department of Labor, ______.

A．more than half of teenager workers are in fast food business

B．teenagers in America like to work in a fast food restaurant

C．teenagers like to take a part-time job in summer holidays

D．almost all teenagers are interested in fast food

2.The author uses his own story mainly to tell us that ______.

A．he never liked fast food and would never eat it

B．he didn’t like working in a fast food restaurant at all

C．he did a great job, which enabled him to find a better one

D．he never went to the fast food restaurant with his family

3.The underlined phrase “A future manager” in Paragraph 4 means the person who ______.

A．will become a manager in the future         B．wants to be a manager in the future

C．doesn’t like his job at present             D．worries about his future

4.From the last paragraph, we can learn that ______.

A．a manager will do less work and get more money

B．not all the people are suitable for the job in fast food business

C．a hardworking waiter has few chances to be a manager

D．the growing U.S. population can bring higher-paid jobs

Modern society cannot well do without the contribution that women can make in the professions and other kinds of work. There is a serious shortage of nurses and teachers, to mention only two of the occupations followed by women. It is a waste to give years of training at public expense only to have the qualified teacher or nurse marry after a year or two and be lost forever to her profession. The training, it is true, will help her in her duties as a mother, but if she continued to work, her service would be more widely useful. Many factories and shops, too, are largely staffed by women, many of them married. While here the question of training is not so important, industry and trade would be seriously short of staff if married women did not work.

We can see then that there are good reasons for regarding it as desirable that married women should have some occupation outside the home. However, there are serious objections. Schools do not keep children occupied the whole day and school holidays are long. The mother’s working day will almost certainly end well after the school day and her holiday will not begin at the same time as her children’s. There will be therefore a period when children are not taken care of unless a substitute for the mother can be found, or unless it becomes more generally possible for women to work part-time. There seem to be some grounds for believing that there is more bad behavior among the children of working mothers than among those of mothers who stay at home, but more evidence is required before we can be certain of this. What we can be certain of, however, is that many more will continue to do so.

1.According to the writer, women nurses and teachers ought to carry on their occupation after marriage because______.

  A. they are not allowed to give up their jobs          

B. their training should not be wasted

  C. they want to make a living by themselves        

D. they must still improve themselves as mothers

2.According to the writer, one possible way for the children of working mothers to be attended to is that________.

   A. schools keep children occupied the whole day   

B. their mothers change their occupation

   C. their mothers do not work full time            

D. their mothers should stay at home

3.The clause “unless a substitute for the mother can be found” means_______.

   A. if someone takes over the mother’s occupation 

B. if no mother works all day

   C. if no one takes care of the children for the mother

   D. if someone takes care of the children for the mother

4.The writer believes that bad behavior among the children of mothers who do not work is _________ among the children of working mothers.

   A. possibly less than   B. about the same as      

C. a little greater than   D. certainly more than

 

China has a growing love affair with the cars．This is clear at the Beijing Asian Games Village Automobile Exchange, where more and more people come to look and increasingly to buy．

Alice Wu is an editor at a Chinese Internet publication．She takes the subway to work, but she is certain she can cut her commute time if she drives herself．Wu says it takes her three hours to get to work now．If she had a car, she says, the same trip would only take her two hours．

The Asian Games Village Automobile Exchange is the biggest car dealership in Beijing．General manager Guo Yong says the business sells more than two thousand cars each week．Guo says it is much easier for Chinese consumers to buy a car now．In the past, it would take them several years to earn enough money to buy a new car．Now, he says, many people only need to save for one year．Also, the emergence of less expensive domestic brands like Chery and BYD means more Chinese can afford cars．

For decades, most Chinese city residents got about by bicycle or public buses and trains．Now, in many areas, the number of new cars is growing faster than the road system, leaving city streets jammed with traffic．Guo Liang has wanted to buy a car for a decade, and he will be the first in his family to own one．He is not deterred by Beijing's traffic jams．Guo says if the traffic is too bad, he will use the car for leisure or holidays with his family．Another customer, Zhang Menxin, works in Beijing, but is from Xi'an, more than 900 kilometers away．Zhang says it is very difficult to get a train ticket to return home for Chinese New Year．She adds that train is not convenient．If she had her own car, she says, she could go anytime she wanted to．

World Bank transportation specialist Shomik Mendhiratta says, “Getting a car makes people feel like they have arrived to the middle class, and it's got a huge status associated with it．It's a fantastic thing to have．”

1.The underlined word "deterred" in the 4th paragraph probably means           .

A．encouraged

B．attracted

C．astonished

D．discouraged

2.The reason why Zhang Menxin wants to buy a car is that          .

A．it is hard and inconvenient for her to go home in Xi'an by train．

B． she doesn't like to go to work by subway．

C．she wants to use the car for leisure or holidays with her family

D．the place where she works is far from her house

3.The best title for the passage should be "          "

A．Cars made China a country on wheels

B．More Chinese Hitting the road in their own cars．

C．More cars sold by the Beijing Asian Games Village Automobile Exchange

D．China is developing rapidly in the past few years．

4.According to what Shomik Mendhiratta in the last paragraph, the car is ____ for the person who owns it．

A．of little value

B．a means of transportation
