If you live in the United States, the law says you can’t have a full-time job until you are 16 years old. At 14 or 15, you can work part-time after school or on weekends, and during summer you can work 40 hours each week. Does all that mean that if you are younger than 14, you can’t earn (賺) your own money? Of course not! Kids who are between the ages of 10 and 13 can earn money by doing lots of things.
Valerie, 11, told us that she made money by cleaning up other people’s yards. Lena, 13, makes money by knitting (織) dog sweaters and selling them to her neighbors, and Reisa said she had started taking art classes and showing her work to people. People have asked her to draw pictures for them and they pay her for them. Jasmine, 13, writes articles for different magazines!
Earning is learning. By working to earn your own money, you are learning the skills you will need to succeed in life. These skills can include things like getting along with others, using technology (技術(shù)) and using your time. Some people think that asking for money is a lot easier than earning it; however, when you make your own money, you don’t have to depend on someone else. The five dollars that you earn will probably make you feel a lot better in your hand than the twenty dollars you ask for.

B. Kids are encouraged to live independently in the USA.

試題分析:如果你生活在美國,法律直到你16歲規(guī)定你才能有一個(gè)全職工作。在14或15,你可以課后或周末兼職的工作,并在夏季可以每周工作40小時(shí)。這意味著,如果你超過14歲,你不能賺得自己的錢?當(dāng)然不。孩子們的年齡在10和13之間可以做的事情,賺許多錢。同時(shí)列舉了幾個(gè)孩子的掙錢過程,通過打工掙自己的錢,你正在學(xué)習(xí)的技巧,你需要成功的生活。這些技能可以包括與他人相處,使用技術(shù)(技術(shù))和使用你的時(shí)間。有些人認(rèn)為要求資金比賺錢更容易;但是,當(dāng)你把自己的錢,你不需要依賴別人。你賺的五美元可能會(huì)讓你感覺在你的手有二十美元。
1.細(xì)節(jié)理解題。分析:美國的孩子們多在時(shí)能正式找工作?原文:If you live in the United States, the law says you can’t have a full-time job until you are 16 years old.句意:如果你生活在美國,法律規(guī)定直到你16歲才能有一個(gè)全職工作。選項(xiàng)中的年齡只有17歲符合。故選 A。
2.細(xì)節(jié)理解題。問題:如果你是十五歲,你在什么時(shí)間不能去工作?原文:At 14 or 15, you can work part-time after school or on weekends, and during summer you can work 40 hours each week.句意:在14或15,你可以課后或周末兼職的工作,并在夏季可以每周工作40小時(shí)。分析也表明在上學(xué)期間不可,只能在業(yè)余時(shí)間可以進(jìn)行工作。故選D。
3.細(xì)節(jié)理解題。問題:Reisa以什么方式掙到錢了?原文:Reisa said she had started taking art classes and showing her work to people. People have asked her to draw pictures for them and they pay her for them.句意:Reisa說她開始以藝術(shù)類和展示她的工作給人們。人們讓她為他們畫畫并且為此付錢。所以說是為別人畫畫來掙錢。故選 B。
4.細(xì)節(jié)理解題。分析問題,通過閱讀短文下面的描述,哪句是錯(cuò)誤的。了解四句話中只有第四選項(xiàng)是不正確的,從短文中體現(xiàn)了當(dāng)學(xué)會(huì)如何掙錢也就更會(huì)與他人友好相處。故選D。
5.細(xì)節(jié)理解題。分析通過這個(gè)短文,我們知道了什么?在結(jié)束閱讀中我們知道如果孩子們學(xué)會(huì)掙錢也就學(xué)會(huì)了技術(shù)。故選C。

Because earthquakes happen without warning, it’s important to take steps now to prepare. Because you don’t know where you will be when an earthquake happens, prepare some supplies for your home, workplace, and car.
1. Water.
A person needs at least 1/2 gallon of water daily just for drinking. Store at least 1 gallon of water per person per day and be prepared for a 72-hour period. It is suggested that you buy bottled water. Keep bottled water in its original container and do not open it until you need to use it. Also, do check the “use by” date.
2. Food.
It’s always a practical idea to keep a supply of non-perishable(不易腐爛的) food on hand. Have an enough supply of canned food, powdered milk, dried fruits, non-salted nuts and canned juices for at least 72 hours.
3. Flashlights(手電筒) and spare batteries.
Keep a flashlight beside your bed, at your place of work, and in your car. Do not use matches or candles after an earthquake until you are sure that no gas leaks.
Prepare a battery-powered radio and spare batteries. Most telephones will be out of order, so radios will be your best source of information.
4. Clothes.
If you live in a cold place, you must think about warmth. You might not have heat after an earthquake. Think about your clothing and bedding supplies.

What are you going to do if you are in a burning house? How will you escape(逃跑)? Do you know how to save yourself? Please read the following passage.
Escaping a fire is a serious matter. Knowing what to do during a fire can save yourself. It is important to know the ways you can use and to show them to everyone in the family, such as stairways (樓梯) and fire escapes, but not lifts.
From the lower floors of the buildings, escaping through windows is possible, learn the best way of leaving through windows with the least chance of serious injury (傷害).
The second floor window is usually not very high from the ground. An average person, hanging by the finger-tips (手指尖) will have a drop of about six feet to the ground. It is about the height of an average man. Of course, it is safer to jump a short way than to stay in a burning building.
Windows are also useful when you are waiting for help. Be sure to keep the door closed. Or smoke and fire may be drawn into the room. Keep your head low at the window to be sure you get fresh air rather than smoke that may have leaked (泄露) into the room.
On a second or third floor, the best windows for escape are those which open onto a roof (屋頂). From the roof a person can drop to the ground more safely. Dropping onto cement (水泥) might end in injury. Bushes and grass can help to break a fall.
1.It is important to ____________________.
A. know the ways to escape a fire
B. put out a fire in a burning house
C. jump out of a burning house
D. keep the door closed
2.It is possible to escape through the windows ___________________.
A. if you are strong enough
B. if there are some bushes on the ground
C. if you live on a lower floor
D. if you have a long rope
3.Keep your head low at the window so that ___________ if the building is on fire.
A. you can get fresh air B. you can call for help
C. you can easily jump off D. you can be seen first
4.The best title for the passage is _____________.
A. Escaping as fast as possible
B. Saving Yourself from a Burning House
