　　Vladimir Balderas was a 12-year-old boy when he started working in the fields．His workday began before the sun rose and ended as it set．He and his parents labored in the heat weeding sugar beets and clearing rocks from the fields．

　　They rarely got a day off．Now, Vladimir is 14 years old and he is still working in the fields．Every April, his family go north to begin months of grueling(令人筋疲力尽的)farm work．“It's hard,” Vladimir said．“It's a lot of work．We have to walk a lot in the fields．At the end of the day, I feel so tired．”

　　It is estimated that 250 million kids like Vladimir are forced to work in hard, often dangerous jobs, all over the world．They mine precious metals, weave rugs and work in factories．As many as 500,000 kids in the U．S．and more than 100 million worldwide labor on plantations and farms．What's more, experts estimate that more than 100,000 children and teens are injured on farms each year．They use sharp knives and scissors designed for adult hands．Most of them operate heavy machinery and work with poisonous agricultural chemicals．

　　“If you get hurt, there is no one to help,” said Santos Polendo who spent 10 years working in the fields．He had to carry 40-pound buckets of tomatoes in sweltering heat．He often suffered backaches, knee pain and headaches．“Sometimes, the heat was so bad, it gave me headaches for a week straight,” Polendo says．

　　In April, Vladimir will travel north with his family to find fieldwork．Migrant families move regularly to find work in the fields．Because migrant children miss so much school, as many as 65％of them drop out．Last year, the Department of Labor cut funds(专款)for migrant-youth programs in 31 states．The programs had provided kids with teachers and resources and replaced income that parents lost when their kids stayed in school．

　　The Association of Farm Worker Opportunity Programs is fighting to restore the money for migrant education and training programs and to increase earning for adult farm workers．The group is also pressuring Congress to provide kids working in agriculture with the same protection as other working kids．

(1)

The work Vladimir Balderas did in the fields was ________．
[　　]
A．	interesting
B．	exhausting

(2)

Why are so many children injured on farms?
[　　]
A．	The working tools are not suitable for them
B．	No one can help them
C．	They don't have working experience
D．	They spend too much time working

(3)

What's the author's attitude towards child labor?
[　　]
A．	He is mildly critical
B．	He is strongly critical
C．	He is in favor of it
D．	His attitude is not clear

(4)

The last paragraph is mainly about ________．

Free and secure accommodation, no bills and even the odd home-cooked meal. It sounds like the perfect living arrangement for cash-strapped students.
Two mothers believe they have devised a way for struggling students to save on accommodation costs when they leave home to study at university.
Kate Barnham and Amanda Flude have launched Student Swaps, an online accommodation forum (论坛) for parents and students, in advance of the introduction in September of ￡3,000 higher education top-up fees.
Their website says, “The principle behind Student Swaps is to enable students to literally swap (交换) family homes.” The website will hold a database of students who would like to swap and link them with suitable matches. So those from one town / city could swap with those from a different town / city.
The site describes itself as offering a “cost-free accommodation alternative… at a time of growing student debt”. There is no charge for the service at the moment but Ms Barnham and Ms Flude intend to introduce a ￡10 annual fee if it becomes established.
However, the National Union of Students (NUS) has warned that, while the scheme may sound appealing to struggling freshers, it lacks any formal regulation.
Veronica King, NUS vice-president of welfare, said, “The fact that this scheme has even been suggested is evidence to the high levels of debt students now face on graduation.” Recent research has shown that students are more likely to live at home in coming years, in a bid to cut down on the cost of a degree.
“This is worrying, as it may mean that students choose their university on the basis of where it is, rather than because it offers the best course for them. It also means students will miss out on what is for some a key part of the student experience-living away from home.”
