阅读下面的短文,从A.B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。

  Every summer,a great many students travel to other countries looking for work and adventure.Most of the  1  are in seasonal work,mainly connected with tourism and  2 .The pay is usually poor,but most people work abroad for the  3  of travel.You can pick grapes in France,entertain(逗乐)kids on American summer camps,and,of course,there are  4  jobs in hotels and restaurants.

  But it is not easy now to find work,“ 5  you speak the language of the country well,there will be very few openings,”says Althea Ellis,an adviser on  6  for students.“If you work with a family in Italy,you'll have to speak Italian.When you wash dishes in a restaurant in Paris,the owner will expect you to speak  7 .British students only have a language  8  for jobs in the USA and Australia.”

   9  enjoys the experience.Sarah James was employed to help forty American children in Europe.The two teachers with the children had never been  10 .One child lost his passport;another became seriously ill and was  11  home;the whole group was thrown out of one hotel because of the  12  they made,and Sarah herself was robbed on her only  13  evening of the entire trip.“I did visit a lot of new places,”she says,“but it wasn't worth it.The pay was  14  and it really was a 24-hour-a-day job.The kids never slept!”

  “The trouble is,students expect to have  15  time of it,”Althea Ellis points out.“ 16 ,they see it as a holiday.In practice, 17 ,you have to work hard.At the same time,all vacation work is casual(临时)work.You'll have a job when the hotel,the restaurant,or the campsite(野营地)is busy. 18 ,you'll work if it's convenient for the company that employs you.But you have  19  employment rights.As soon as the holiday season  20 ,they'll get rid of you.”

  2  Like the table of contents of a book or magazine, the home page is the front door. Your site can have one or more pages, depending on how you design it.

While web pages vary greatly in their design and content, most use a traditional magazine layout(版面设计).At the top of the page is a banner(横幅). Next comes a greeting and a short description of the site. Pictures, text, and links to other websites follow.

Less is better. Most people don’t like to read a lot of text online.   5 

Smaller is better. Since it can take a long time to download large image files, keep the file sizes small.

My elder brother Steve, in the absence of my father who died when I was six, gave me important lessons in values that helped me grow into an adult. For instance, Steve taught me to face the results of my behavior. Once when I returned in tears from a Saturday baseball game, it was Steve who took the time to ask me what happened. When I explained that my baseball had soared through Mrs. Holt’s basement window, breaking the glass with a crash, Steve encouraged me to confess(坦白) to her. After all, I should have been playing in the park down Fifth Street and not in the path between buildings. Although my knees knocked as I explained to Mrs. Holt, I offered to pay for the window from my pocket money if she would return my ball. I also learned from Steve that personal property is a sacred thing. After I found a shiny silver pen in my fifth-grade classroom, I wanted to keep it, but Steve explained that it might be important to someone else. He reminded me of how much I’d hate to lose to someone else the small dog my father carved from a piece of wood. I returned the pen to my teacher, Mrs. Davids, and still remembered the smell of her perfume as she patted me on my shoulder.
Yet of all the instructions Steve gave me, his respect for life is the most vivid in my mind. When I was twelve I killed an old brown bird in the yard with a BB gun. Excited with my accuracy, I screamed to Steve to come from thehouse to take a look. I shall never forget the way he stood for a long moment and stared at the bird on the ground. Then in a dead, quiet voice, he asked, “Did it hurt you first, Mark?” I didn’t know what to answer. He continued with his eyes firm, “The only time you should even think of hurting a living thing is if it hurts you first. And then you think a long, long time. “ I really felt terrible then, but that moment stands out as the most important lesson my brother taught me.
56. What is the main idea of the passage?
A. The relationship between Mark and Steve
B. The important lesson Mark learned in school
C. Steve’s important role in Mark’s growing process.
D. Mark and Steve’s respect for living things.
57. It can be inferred from the passage that when Mark confessed to Mrs. Holt, ____.
A. he felt surprised                B. he was light-hearted
C. he felt frightened               D. he behaved bravely
58. In the story about the pen, which of the following lessons did Steve teach his brother?      
A. Respect for personal property.
B. Respect for life.
C. Sympathy for people with problems.
D. The value of honesty.
59. Which of the follow is true according to the passage?
A. Mark was still a boy when he wrote this passage.
B. Even if a living thing hurts you, you should not kill it without hesitation
C. When a living thing hurts you, you should kill it.
D. Mark lost the small dog his father raised.
