It-s the universal cry of parents. "Get a job! " Soliman's mother told Soliman on the second day of his college breaks.

After years of delivering furniture for his mother'-s store, he knew many people had things they wanted to get rid of. If he borrowed his mom's truck, he could make a little money by carrying away their garbage.

One night, Soliman came up with a name for his new business - College Hunks Hauling Junk. He advertised the next day, and within hours, his phone rang. He asked his friend Friedman to help. They made $ 220 in three hours by cleaning out a woman-s garage. Soliman and Friedman earned $ 10,000 that summer. But the two weren't readyto become full- time garbage mcn after graduation. "We were trained to finish college and get a good job," says Soliman, who first worked at a research firm. Friedman became an economic analyst.

After working for the firm and the company for a while, both of them changed their minds. They quit their jobs and restarted their business, but had trouble finding a bank willing to lend them money. "Within months," says Friedman, "we were pretty upset. "

At last, one bank risked lending them $ 50,000. At first, they lost money. One customer asked them to deal with a dozen garbage cans filled with construction garbage. They measured the job by volume instead of by weight and charged just $ 130. "The cans were so heavy that it took us two and a half hours," says Soliman, "And it cost us more than $ 250 to carry the load. "

However, the tough experience taught them a lesson. They reduced the cost of unloading by recycling metals and electronics. Just four years later, they ran a nationwide company that earned $ 3 million in 2014. " I figured if Nick and I failed, we'd learn more from failing than from not trying at all," says Soliman.

1.What does Soliman find when helping to deliver furniture?

A. Some parents want their kids to work at college breaks.

B. Many families have things they don't want to keep.

C. His mom's truck works well in carrying heavy furniture.

D. It's hard to make money by carrying away the garbage.

2.What makes Soliman think of starting his new business?

A. His working experience in his mother's store.

B. His strong desire to make use of the garbage.

C. His hatred for people's throwing away things.

D. His much available time at college breaks.

3.How did Soliman and Friedman cut the cost of the company?

A. By filling the cans with more garbage.

B. By measuring the job by volume.

C. By reducing the working hours.

D. By recycling something useful.

4.Which of the following can be learned from the passage?

A. Easier said than done.

B. Nothing succeeds like success.

C. Two heads are better than one.

D. Nothing is impossible to a willing heart.

When Kathryn was 6 years old, she sat outside for three hours at her home and did not make a sound.Her parents wondered why she was so quiet, only to discover that she was drawing a picture of a flag outside. She recalled. “That’s what I wanted to do that day,” said Kathryn, who is now 23 years old. And in the future, she continued to do art as a hobby.

Recently, Kathryn was named Lake Placid’s first artist in the neighborhood. She will be there for at least four weeks and possibly more. During that time, she will teach an art class and focus on her own art. Much of her work includes creating photos. She said: “There is always something there that you haven’t included, so you can never stop when painting a photo.”

Kathryn ended up as the first artist just by chance. She said her sister was on vacation in Florida and looking for a job in Lake Placid. The sister got the job and moved there.

Kathryn said she visited her sister and was ordered to do wall paintings inside a building. Later, her sister saw a demand for an artist on line and suggested she should apply.

Kathryn said she’s the first artist in her family, but added that her parents are creative. Her father loves to create things from wood, she said. “Anything you can make out of wood, he has made it,” she said.

Her own creativity with art continued through college. While at college, she was once employed to recreate a photo of a couple on a vacation to Florida and one of a sunset in either North Carolina or South Carolina.

Kathryn said she’s looking at other forms of art. The time she spends here will help her to “figure out who I am as an artist,” she said.

1.From the first paragraph, we can know that________.

A. Kathryn had few words at her early age

B. Kathryn would sit outside in silence

D. A girl walks out of her hobby as an artist.

Loma just had to get in touch with someone：“I had to tell my best friend something important. I tried calling her but I couldn’t get through. So I sent her an e-mail and then I spoke to her on MSN. Without technology I would not have been able to tell her. ”

Staying connected with friends and family is important for us. That’s why we asked our readers to tell us how cell-phones, e-mail, blogs, text messaging, and personal pages help them keep in touch. More than 1,500 responded.

Most of them told us they couldn’t live without technology：80％of teens said they need technology to stay in touch. Almost 30％said they’d be completely out of their friends without their cell-phones and other methods of communication.

What do they do when they’ve got news they need to share now? Most teens say they try to reach their friends by phone. But if they don’t reach them, they use QQ, e-mails, and text messaging to get the words out.

Lots of people use one way of communication—like text messaging—to get a friend’s attention and then use another where they can talk more. “My friends and I always tell each other everything that happens. So I send them text messages to tell them to come online so we can talk about it,” said Sabeiha.

“When planning to get together with friends”, Julian said, “the easiest and fastest way I know is to send a text message to my contact group.” Jocelyn said. “If I want to go to see a movie with a few friends, I usually send text message to them. By telephone, you have to call every single friend one by one. But text messaging allows you to send the same message to as many as you’d like, which saves a lot of time.

3.The underlined part “get the words out” means“”.

A. send the message B. send the e-mail

C. talk with their friends D. meet their friends

Now that newsrooms are becoming less popular in the US，young people have begun to tell their own stories．

GlobalGirl Media，a nonprofit organization that teaches teenage girls digital storytelling skills，was started by award-winning filmmakers Amie Williams and Meena Nanji in Los Angeles in 2010．

“By giving girls a voice，you introduce a different story，and change the existing one，”said Danny Glover，a member of the GlobalGirl Media advisory board．

“When the camera’s in my hands，I feel like I can’t lose，”Said Cheyenne Grisez，14．“It makes me happy and I feel like I can do anything．”

On the final day of the summer academy in California，Williams worked with Grisez and Camila Prado，15，on a short film about Prado’s fight against an eating disorder．In the film，Prado bravely interviewed her parents and sister about how she was able to beat her depression and eating disorder．This film and others the girls had made were shown to parents and friends on the last day of the academy，celebrating their hard work．

“It’s their story，and nobody knows how to tell it better than they do，”Williams said．

“These girls are from really difficult backgrounds．They feel trapped sometimes．They feel alone．”Williams said．“The camera gives them a way to look at their world in a different way and get out of that feeling．’’

Girls in the program practice their skills and build confidence by going out in the community and interviewing people for the short films．Many of them had no experience，but found they had good storytelling skills．

“I work with these girls．Every day I leave inspired and completely grateful，because I know that．due to the work we're doing with them，things will be better，”said GlobalGirl Media summer academy project director Heather Faison．

A group of foreign residents married to Japanese talked about their children’s names.

Nicole Despres

Students services manager, 40 (American)

We have no intention to live outside Japan so it made sense for the kids to take my Japanese husband’s family name. However, we did want to have a Western name too, so all three of them now have both a Western and Japanese name. We agreed there would be no strange names, spelling or unusual kanji(Chinese characters in the Japanese language). All names had to be easy to say and familiar in both Japanese and English.

John McCracken

Company general manager, 27(American)

My son’s name is Aiden. In part because my wife and I met in university and as she was studying Irish history and I have some links to Scotland and Ireland, I wanted a unique Gaelic(盖尔族的)name. We settled for Aiden as we found kanji that can be used in Japan that means “legendary hero”

Paula Murakami

College women’s Association of Japan, 53(American)

My husband was very excited about choosing names, so I decided to let him choose. He wanted their first names to be Japanese and camp up with names that included the kanji character in his own name. Our boys, Hiroki and Kenta, never had any problems while living on the U.S. West Coast with Japanese names, and I think both as children and as adults, they love their names.

Jeff Ruiz

Recording engineer, 42(Mexican)

My son’s name is Lenny. My wife chose it together with me as we were looking for a name that works in both worlds — mine in Mexico, and hers in Japan — and the name Lenny is common everywhere.
