Every summer, a great many students travel to other countries looking for work and adventure. Most of the 1 are in seasonal work, mainly connected with tourism and 2 .The pay is usually poor, but most people work abroad for the 3 of travel. You can pick grapes in France, entertain(逗乐)kids on American summer camps, and, of course, there are 4 jobs in hotels and restaurants.

But it is not easy to find work,“ 5 you speak the language of the country well, there will be very few openings,”says Anthea Ellis, an adviser on 6 for students.“If you work with a family in Italy, you’ll have to speak Italian. When you wash dishes in a restaurant in Paris, the owner will expect you to speak 7 .British students only have a language 8 for jobs in the USA and Australia.”

9 enjoys the experience. Sarah James was employed to help forty American children in Europe. The two teachers with the children had never been 10 .One child lost his passport; another became seriously ill and was 11 home; the whole group was thrown out of one hotel because of the 12 they made, and Sarah herself was robbed on her only 13 evening of the entire trip.“I did visit a lot of new places,” she says,“but it wasn’t worth it. The pay was 14 and it really was a 24 hour-a-day job. The kids never slept!”

“The trouble is, students expect to have 15 time of it.”Anthea Ellis points out.“ 16 ,they see it as a holiday. In practice, 17 ,you have to work hard. At the same time, all vacation work is casual(临时)work. You’ll have a job when the hotel, the restaurant, or the campsite is busy. 18 ,you’ll work if it’s convenient for the company that employs you. But you have 19 employment rights. As soon as the holiday season 20 ,they’ll get rid of you.”

　　Many people see a person who can't read or spell as disabled, but what does disabled really mean? Well, with Andrew Mertzit of Maryland it meant he would not be 1 to attend his school any more. Andrew's 2 is that whenever he is reading, he sees the letters p, d, q and b as a 3 and stick. Since Andrew's teachers couldn't 4 him much, Suzanne, Andrew's mother decided to take 5 in her own hands. She decided to home school Andrew. In ten months, Suzanne, a trained reading specialist tried many different 6 to help Andrew with his disability. She helped Andrew with making letters out of sand, rice and shaving cream. Now, about nine years later Andrew is 7 having some problems with reading, but certainly a lot better than before.

　　Lately researchers have been finding many different ways to help learning disabled students by 8 things like rice and shaving cream or even to get little computers. Also, nowadays there are schools all over that have programs to help disabled kids, unlike back in 1995 when Andrew had to be 9 schooled by his mother. But to help disabled students it takes about $ 8.12 billion. You probably think that's a lot of money, but if you 10 that in 1996 there were about 2.6 million kids who were disabled, it may not seem all that 11 . Even though a person may have a learning disability at a certain subject, like reading, it does not mean that he or she doesn't have a talent（才能）at something else. For example, 15 years ago when Joey Hollingsworth entered kindergarten, teachers said that Joey was very clever. Once Joey started getting 12 , his grades got lower. Lots of people just thought he was 13 and had discipline（纪律）problems. Many years later he finally was 14 for learning disabilities and found out he really did have a disability.

　　Still many people believe kids like Joey who can't read or write are lazy. It's hard to understand that 15 a person doesn't look disabled, he can have problems with learning, and it's even harder for the 16 . But now they are getting close to understanding how learning disabilities start. Brain researchers have some new equipment. These machines 17 pictures of the brain while in 18 . They're learning a lot already by examining the brains of the people who have been 19 and who have learning disabilities. It is reported that some of these damaged brain cases are 20

like the picture we see all the time on the learning-disabled cases where we don't know the cause.

(1) A.willing	B.able	C.ready	D.happy
(2) A.job	B.worry	C.disadvantage	D.disability
(3) A.picture	B.flag	C.square	D.circle
(4) A.help	B.tend	C.teach	D.treat
(5) A.matters	B.letters	C.illness	D.children
(6) A.ways	B.schools	C.hospitals	D.medicine
