题目内容

In America, many teenagers have a part-time job. A part-time job is one that you do a few hours each week to make money. Do you have a part-time job?

Teens can have many different kinds of part-time jobs. Some teens work in groceries (杂货). Others may work in other local business such as the clothes store. You may have friends who work in a fast food restaurant. They may make the food, or keep the restaurant clean. Many teens make money by looking after younger children in the neighborhood. Some teens even have their own business. They cut grass and take care of pets in their neighborhoods while other people are on vacation.

Most teens who have part-time jobs work only a few hours after school, maybe two or three times a week. They often have to work all day on Saturday.

Having a part-time job has many advantages. The job teaches you new skills that you can use as an adult. The job also teaches you responsibility (责任). The person who paid you for the job expects you to be there. The job also pays you money that you can use for many different things. Your family might need the money to help with the family budget (预算). If you're lucky, you could use the money to buy music and videos. You might want to save the money to buy a new bicycle or maybe even a car.

In some families, teens have part-time jobs to help make money to go to college. Going to college is very expensive. Many parents cannot pay for their child's education without help from the child. In some families, at least half of what a teen makes at a part-time job goes into a college savings account (账户). The teen can spend the rest of the money on what he or she needs or wants.

Many teenagers have part-time jobs and still have time for their friends and families. Many still belong to clubs at school and even have time to play sports. If you have a part-time job,you need to have a good plan to help you do everything you want and have to do. Do your homework and chores as soon as you can. Don't let the work wait and pile up (堆积). Make sure you get to your job on time. Do the things that are most important to you. Spend time with the people you care about most.

A few days ago, I ran into (撞上) a stranger as he passed by. I said sorry to him, and he said, “Excuse me too, I wasn’t even watching for you.” We were very polite, this stranger and I. Then we went on our way after saying goodbye.

Later in the kitchen at home, as I cooked our meal, my daughter Betty walked up to me, very quietly. When I turned around (转身), I nearly knocked her down. “Get out of the way!” I shouted angrily. She ran away, crying.

That night, when I lay in bed, my husband said to me, “You were so rude to Betty. Go and look around on the kitchen floor, and you’ll find some flowers there. Betty brought those for you. She picked them herself ? pink, yellow, and your favourite blue.”

When I heard this, I thought deeply: “While meeting with a stranger, I was calm and polite; but with my daughter, I was not patient (耐心的). I felt sad and tears began to fall.

I quietly went to Betty’s bed, “Wake up, my dear,” I said, “Are these the flowers you picked for me?” She smiled, “t found them by the tree. I knew you’d like them, especially the blue.” I said, “I am so sorry that I treated (对待) you that way today.” And she whispered (悄声说), “Mommy, that’s okay ? I still love you anyway.” I kissed her and said, “I love you too and I do love the flowers.”

That day Betty gave me a lesson on how to get along with each other in the family. I spent much time on work before and didn’t realize how important family life was. I decided to do better in the future.

On the first day of school our teacher introduced himself and challenged us to get to know someone we didn’t already know. I stood up to look around when a gentle hand touched my shoulder. I turned around to find a little old lady with a warm smile. She said, “Hi, handsome. My name is Rose. I’m eighty-seven years old.”

“Why are you in university at such a YOUNG age?” I asked. She replied, “I’m here to meet a rich husband, get married, have a couple of kids, and then retire and travel.” I knew she was joking. I was curious (好奇) what might have encouraged her to be taking on this challenge at her age. “I always dreamed of having a university education and now I’m getting one!” she told me. We became friends. Every day we would talk nonstop after class. I always enjoyed listening to this “time machine” as she shared her wisdom (智慧) and experience with me. And Rose easily made friends wherever she went.
