    Your parents always tell you that a solid education is the key to a successful future. For those of you that
will be graduating from high school, the commitment (承诺) you made to complete your schooling has been
fulfilled. Another few years in some college classroom just doesn't sound too attractive; so what are your
choices? Let's see, Choice 1-You can live with your parents, leech on to them, and basically do nothing. Or
Choice 2-You could get yourself a job. Of course, there are other choices, but for this little discussion, we'll
just suppose that they aren't relevant.   
    Okay, so Choice 2 is obviously going to be more productive. You're finally into the workplace and will be
entering the real world. What would be a good place to start? Well, hopefully high school helped to give you
some sort of an idea of what type of job you would like to enter. If not, then it would be a good idea to speak
with an advisor or a person working in the field you may be interested in before you jump into a job that you
won't like. Gaining knowledge on a particular line of work beforehand can be very effective by helping you in
your search to find that job that you will enjoy doing. Another reason to research jobs and get some hands on
work is related to the fact that it will also be helpful in buffing up your resume and providing you with some
valued experience. Internships (见习) or volunteering are usually a good place to start.   
    If you are ready to begin a job after high school, the main benefits will clearly be saving money from high
college expense and happily making a living in your chosen jobs. From another point of view, jumping into the
workplace is sometimes the only way to see for yourself if you are ready to work a 40-hour week yet. If you
decide that full time work is not what you are ready for, then this may suggest that you should go back to
school and get a degree. Besides, a college degree will usually equal higher wages.
1. The underlined phrase "leech on to" in the first paragraph might mean "_____".

A. help         
B. depend on   
C. quarrel with     
D. take care of
2. The best title for this passage might be _____.
[     ]
A. Going to College   
B. Where Should I Start   
C. The Advantage of Starting Work Earlier   
D. Jumping into Work after High School
3. The advantages of starting work right after high school include the following except _____.
[     ]
A. saving money   
B. making sure if you are really ready to work   
C. getting higher wages   
D. getting to know if you should go back to school
4. Which of the following isn't mentioned in helping you find a suitable job?
[     ]
A. Ideas about jobs gained in high schools.   
B. Experience in work.   
C. Advice from teachers and parents.

  The early 1900s were very different from today.Toys, though they have evolved in many ways, were still the delight of children everywhere.

  Theodore Roosevelt’s Presidency marks the beginning of the “Teddy Bear.” In the year 1902,toy bears were named “Teddy” after the president’s nickname.The Teddy Bear became known worldwide, and is still known and loved today.It was only a few years later that the Teddy Bears were mass produced.

  In 1913,an item called the Erector Set was invented.It was a steel, motorized toy that children could use to build models of anything.Its creator was A.C.Gilbert, a medical doctor.

  Charles Pajeau created a similar wooden set called Tinker Toys in the year 1914.Tinker Toys were made for younger children.

  Raggedy Ann dolls first came on the scene after newspaper cartonist Johnny Gruelle reproduced the doll he made for his daughter.That was in 1915.

  The following year, an architect’s son named John Lloyd Wright, invented Lincoln Logs, which were interlocked to make structures.

  Two years after Mickey Mouse was created, stuffed(填塞)Mickey Mouse dolls were made by Charlotte Clark.This was the start of Disney merchandise.

  The yo-yo became popular in the United States after Donald Duncan bought a yo-yo company in 1929.

  The View-Master, a three dimensional viewer, was developed by a camera enthusiast named William Gruber.The toy became popular when Gruber licensed Disney characters to make still,3-D images from Disney movies and television programs.

  Finally, in 1940,model airplanes were mass produced.They started out as a way for manufacturers to sell planes to the military, but later caught on as a toy.
