阅读理解

    In the USA, you can only get a full-time job if you are 16 years old or older. But there are things that teenagers can do to earn(赚) some spending money. Here're a few ideas.

    Parents with young children sometimes want to go out for dinner or to the movies, but they don't want to leave their children alone. So, they ask a teenager to stay in the house, be a baby-sitter and look after their children while they're out. If the children go to bed early, you can do some of your homework!

    Some people have a dog, but they don't have time to take it for a walk. Dogs need a lot of exercise! So some teenagers work as dog walkers. It's a good idea - you earn money and you're outside in the fresh air. You get some exercise, too!

    Teenagers can work at home on their computers. Some companies pay teenagers to take online surveys. They want to know what teenagers are interested in. It's a fun and easy way to make money. You can also design web pages for friends or others. Do you have any old toys, books or CDs you don't use? Sell them online and make some money!

    Sometimes, some families pay teenagers to mow their lawns(草坪). It's a great job because you get fresh air and exercise. Mow a lawn carefully and people will want you to do it again. Then you have regular customers, because grass always grows.

    You can choose one of them to earn some money. Then you can spend it or save it! But don't forget it's important to always tell your parents where you're going. Be safe when you work.

(1)、How many ideas of part-time jobs for teenagers are suggested in this passage?

(2)、Which two part-time jobs can help teenagers get both fresh air and exercise?

The Ling family did not think they were going home with a pet that day. Annie wanted to visit the animal shelter(避难所). She wanted to see the cats and dogs. She had wanted a pet for years. Her parents were waiting for the girls to be old enough. Annie was seven. Her sister Lily was only three. Lily was still learning how to act around animals. She had a lot of energy!

Annie and Lily were excited to see the animals. A shelter volunteer gave the Ling family a tour. The volunteer talked about why animals came to the shelter. Some were found by the road. Others were dropped off by families who could not care for them.

Finally, the Ling family got to see the animals: There was a cat section and a dog section. They were all so cute! Some of the animals looked scared. This made Annie sad. The volunteer explained that animals need time to get used to a new place. She assured(向......保证) Annie that all the people caring for these animals were kind.

The Ling family walked through the dog section. They started talking. A dog just felt like the right choice. Annie's mom could not take her eyes of fan older black dog with kind eyes. Annie's dad was interested in a large, energetic dog. Annie had found her own favorite. He was a young puppy. He was brown with spots. He had been found near the railway with six other puppies(小狗). Annie could not take her eyes off this dog. She thought he had the cutest face in the world.

Annie pleaded(恳求) with her parents. They did not want to make a quick decision. But they could see in Annie's eyes that she had found her companion(伴侣). The volunteer talked about what a good breed the dog was and that he would be kind with children. That was what the family needed to hear. They decided to take the little puppy home.

 Every Cloud Has a Silver Lining

Claire, America

 Sometimes something good comes out of a bad thing. Last month,I took a photo of an amazing sunset over a lake when hiking in a park. Then I decided to send it to my brother Charley. Anyway, I dropped my phone in the water. OMG! I lost all my photos and my phone. Well, luckily, Charley sent my sunset photo to the TV station. Today, they chose it for Photo of the Month, and I won a new camera. Maybe every cloud has a silver lining!

Sue, Canada

Ten years ago, my car broke down on my way to school. I didn't have enough money to fix it, so that term I had to get up at 5:00 a. m. every day to take the bus. One cold, wet morning, I felt really tired. But this guy started talking to me on the bus, and he really made me laugh! I also found that we studied at the same school. We exchanged phone numbers, and the rest is history. Ten years later, we' re married with two children. Oh, and a new car! Every cloud has a silver lining!

Yang, China

Some weeks ago, I helped a Malaysian friend Andrew move his things into my house. He lost his job and needed a place to stay. But I hurt my back when carrying some heavy boxes. It was really bad, so I had to go to the hospital. Anyway, I saw an advertisement for a computer programmer at the hospital. I called my friend, and he got the job! At least his cloud had a silver lining! Though I do have my house all to myself again.

Last week I finished a class at a middle school, receiving some meaningful answers after I asked the students what they would tell their parents about money.

Max said he would say: "Dear Mom. I need to give you some advice on money. I need more allowances(零用钱)! Many teenagers had the same answer: As a teacher, I advise on a few allowances and more if the kid helps with housework. Now that the kids are in middle school. it's time to think about paying them for doing something. My son missed a lot of school when he was in middle school so I offered the down payment(分期付款)on a car if he wouldn't miss any school as a high school student and the result was that he finally got the car.

Grace wanted to tell her mom. "Only buy what we need." Spending wisely and saving money is a good idea for all the students. The idea of thinking carefully about spending is exactly what I want to make them know in class. but they learn more at home. Teenagers look at their parents' spending habits, and they develop the same habits. So watch your behavior(行为)! 

Nikola's advice is helpful to all parents — "Mom and Dad, I think I should take part in financial(财务的)activities more so that I can know how to deal with money when I grow up."

Remember, your kids watch everything you do especially when it is about money, so do it right, pointing them in right direction.
