25、   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?

A.One. B.Two. C.Three. D.Four.

【2】Which two part-time jobs can help teenagers get both fresh air and exercise?

A.Baby-sitting and taking online surveys. B.Walking dogs and mowing lawns.

B.Mowing a lawn will help grass grow slowly.

C.Being a baby-sitter for kids always means much hard work.

D.Teenagers in the USA aren’t allowed to work full-time until age 16.

26、Birth order—does it matter? Are you different because you are the first, second, or third child in your family—or maybe the last of nine?

A study found that first-borns have an average(平均的) IQ that is three points higher than people who fall into a different place in the birth order, perhaps because first-borns often help younger brothers and sisters, which improves their own skills. In 2007, an international organization of CEOs found that 43% of CEOs are first-borns 33% are middle children, and 23% are last-borns. First-borns are more likely(可能的) to be doctors and astronauts and get higher pay.

If first-borns are more successful, last-borns are generally more agreeable. They are also more likely to be funny, possibly to get attention from all the bigger people at the dinner table. Mark Twain and Stephen Colbert were both the youngest in large families, and Jim Carrey was the youngest of four. According to a 2007 Time magazine article, “The power of Birth Order.” last-borns are more likely to be artists and successful businessmen.

Then there are the middle children: we have not ignored(忽视) them! Many middle children are short of one-on-one time with their parents. They often feel short-changed: the oldest gets more rights, and the youngest is spoiled(宠坏的). Though they may be ignored, middle children are more likely to grow into easygoing adults.

Many factors(因素) make us who we are, but if the research is correct, birth order may be one of the most important factors.

【1】Who is most likely to be a CEO?

A．A first-born.

B．A second-born.

C．A third-born.

D．A last-born.

【2】What can we learn about Jim Carrey?

A．He was likely to be given low pay.

B．He was likely to be agreeable.

C．He was a first-born.

D．He was a middle child.

【3】What does the underlined word “short-changed” in Paragraph 4 probably mean in Chinese?

A．受亏待的

B．受控制的

C．受宠爱的

D．受欢迎的

【4】We can learn from the research that birth order ________.

A．has no influence on IQ

B．matters a lot at the dinner table

C．may decide who we are

D．is a factor in making us powerful

【5】What would be the best title for the text?

A．Where Is Your Place in the Family?

B．Who Improves Your Social Skills?

C．What Makes You Successful in Life?

D．How Can You grow into a big Man?

27、In one’s life, one spends the most time being with oneself. However, one has the least understanding of oneself. When you are successful, you may be very proud. But when you fail, you may lose heart. If you don’t get a better understanding of yourself, you may miss many chances in life and easily get into trouble.

To get a better understanding of yourself is to know about yourself well. You should realize your strong points and weak ones. You may hope for a wonderful future, but be sure not to expect too much because not all dreams can come true. You may be confident enough to meet challenges, but first you should know what to do.

Getting a better understanding of yourself needs self-appreciation. Maybe you think you are a tall tree or just small grass, but you can always have your own way of being there. As soon as you get full confidence in yourself, you are sure to face any trouble.

To get a better understanding of yourself also means taking care of yourself. When you are angry, find a quiet place so that you can control your own temper and not hurt yourself. When you are sad, tell your friends about it to change the mood（情绪）into a good one. When you are tired, get a good sleep till you get relaxed. If you don’t know when and how you should look after yourself, you won’t be able to stay away from illnesses.

No one can tell what will happen in the future. Get a better understanding of yourself, and you’ll get a full control of yourself and find your life full of colors.

【1】To get a better understanding of yourself, you should ________.

A．hope for a wonderful future

B．know what you can do and what you can’t do

C．spend more time being with others

D．catch every chance in your life

A．自我批评

B．自我欣赏

C．自我发现

D．自我鼓励

A．Because few people can really understand us.

B．Because no one knows what he/she is really like.

【4】Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?
