4．Having a part-time job is an important part of growing up for American teenagers．It can teach them important skills that will be useful for the rest of their lives．And many teenagers find that making their own money gives them a sense of pride and freedom．
American teenagers are allowed to do part-time jobs at the age of 14．During the school year，teenagers may go to work a few times a week after school，and work for longer at weekends．
In summer，top part-time jobs for teenagers include at camps，swimming pools and amusement parks．These jobs are great for those who want to be active and have fun while making money．
Some of the most stressful jobs include teaching，nursing，and police work．These skills help to prepare teenagers for their later lives．When they grow up，the students with work experience are more likely to succeed than those without work experience．A favorite job for many teenagers is babysitting，and they can start before the age of 14if their parents agree．As long as they stay in the house and make sure the kids are
okay，babysitters can do their homework，watch TV，or talk on the phone with friends．
After the kids go to bed and before the parents come home，babysitters have lots of freedom．

3．Is the world too crowded？Well，that's a hard question to answer．It's all a matter of perspective（视角）．In Montana，you might drive for a mile in any direction and not see another human being．In Macao，60，000people live in every square mile!
What is true is that the world's population doesn't stay the same．It has been increasing at a very fast rate（比例）．That's in part because in each generation（代） these are more people who then have children than in the last generation．
Five hundred years ago，the population of the world was about 460million．In 1900，the world's population was under 2billion（十亿）．Right now it is doubling every 40years．That means，if this rate of growth continues，when you are a parent，there will be twice as many people on earth as there are now．Wow!Now that's a whole lot of people!Soon the world's population will probably reach 7billion．Some people worry about that!But there is a lot of disagreement about just how many people on earth equals（相当于） too many people．But everyone agrees that the more people there are，the more resources（资源） the world needs to feed，house and take care of all of them，and the more need there is to think carefully about how we live and use the earth's resources．

1．Imagine this：your parents go away on business，but you have to stay at home alone．Would life be as easy as when your parents are around？Would it be a perfect holiday for you？
'"I can fill an empty stomach with tomato and egg soup，but that's all．I think many of my classmates are the same．We wouldn't know what to do，or how to look after ourselves，"said Zheng Chenyu．"And I'd forget something important．I'd probably watch television and burn the soup．"
"As soon as I leave home，I'll learn to cook．But now parents do almost everything for us．We're very lazy，"she said．Most teenagers have only time for their homework． They don'tlearnany life skills until
they go to college．
However，Sima Yige doesn't think so．"I think I'd be all right．I wouldn't just eat sandwiches or fruit．I know how to cook，some simple dishes because my mum showed me，"the 13-year-old boy said．In his opinion，many teenagers depend too much on their parents，and there is much more to learn than cooking，like"tidying up your room or even dressing yourself properly．"
For most teenagers it wouldn't be a holiday at all．

Dear Disney，
Last weekend，the four members of my family spent an enjoyable holiday at the Magic
Kingdom-Disneyland．And one event made our visit seem truly magical．
We got to the front of the line at Space Mountain，only to find out that our little daughter Gloria couldn't take her ice-cream on the ride．We were so excited that we all forgot ice-cream was not allowed on the ride．

Gloria broke into tears and we all had no idea what to do．Then Murphy，one of the staff（员工） members，came over．She bent down and told Gloria that she would hold the ice-cream for her and give it to her when she finished the ride．Gloria said，"Promise？"Then she gave Murphy her ice-cream，and she completely enjoyed the ride．
Sure enough，as we walked out the exit，there was Gloria's new friend with"her"ice-cream．
Now you and I both know what happened，because we know that an ice-cream won't last twenty
minutes on a summer afternoon in Florida．Murphy knew'what time we would get off the ride；
she went to the nearest shop and bought a brand-new ice-cream thirty seconds before we walked
out the exit．Gloria said，"Thank you，"but I'm sure she thought it was the same ice-cream．
We know that someone tried hard to make our visit special．Thanks so much for going
above and beyond!
Your fan，
Carmen Rivera

3．Life is full of surprises and you never know how things will turn out．Sir John Gurdon．Is a good example of this．As a boy，he was told he was hopeless at science and finished bottom of his class．Now，aged 79，the very same Gurdon shared the 2012Nobel Prize in Medicine with Japanese stem cell （干细胞） researcher Shinya Yamanaka．
Like so many scientists，Gurdon shows us where the power of curiosity and perseverance （坚持）can lead．
At the age of 15in 1948，Gurdon ranked last out of the 250boys at his high school in biology and every other science subject．Gurdon's high school science teacher even said that his dream of becoming a scientist was quite"ridiculous"．
In spite of his teacher's criticisms，Gurdon followed his curiosity and kept working hard．He went to the laboratory earlier and left later than anyone else．He experienced thousands of failures．
"I believe that we will，in the end，understand everything about how cells actually work．，"Gurdon said．
In 1962，Gurdon took a sell from an adult frog and moved its genetic （基因的）information into an egg cell．The egg cell then grown into a clone of the adult frog．This technique later helped to create Dolly the sheep in 1996，the first cloned mammal in the world．
In 2006，Gurdon's work was developed by Yamanaka to show that a sample （样本） of  a person's skin can be used to create stem cells．Using the technique，doctors can repair a patient's heart after a heart attack．
"Luck prefers the prepared mind．"Gurdon told the Nobel Prize organization．"Ninety percent of the time things don't work，but when they do，you have to catch the chance．"
