AFinding summer jobs for teenagers has not always been easy, but now you no longer have to worry about what your kid can do to make their own money. Recently I found some different sites online that offer information about what kids can do. Below is some of that information, along with questions to think about to help you come up with your own ideas.Ideas for summer work:●Parks and Recreation Programs (娱乐节目).●Babysitting during the day of school.●Working part-time at a day care for the summer.●Car washing.●Working at local vegetable stands .The easiest way for you to find ways for your child to make money is to th ink about others’ inconveniences. Think of things you need done, or would like to have done, and what you would considerpaying for these things to get done. Once you have some ideas, you can sit down with your child and talk to them about what they would be interested in doing. Then once you have an idea of what they want to do, you can help them come up with fair prices.Perhaps you would want to only have your child working with people that you know and trust, or at least you could have your child pick a partner. That way with each of them carrying cell phones, even those without service can call 911, they will be much safer.You can find out more information and many more ideas for kids to use to make money during their summer holidays by surf the Internet.16．The author wrote the passage to _____.A.talk about his summer work experienceB. introduce jobs for parents to doC. advertise a website for teenagersD. share his discoveries online17．The passage is mainly written for _____.A .parents B.

I never even knew his name and I only had contact with him for less than 60 seconds. His Christmas present to me changed the way I think about people and about Christmas.I hate Black Friday sales. It’s often a gathering of people who are there for many different reasons. Some are looking for a deal on that one item for their loved one, or perhaps themselves. Their purposes completely have nothing to do with the festive time of year, and can just be summed up with one word, “Cheap!”It was several years ago when my wife asked me to meet her at the local department store on Black Friday morning. They had advertised a child’s bik e that she wanted to purchase for our son. We stood with a very large crowd, waiting for the manager to blow the whistle(口哨). I told my wife that if we got a bike, fine, but if we did not, I was OK with that too.As the number of bikes began to gradual ly decrease, I saw my “polite” opportunity to reach my hands around the corner of one of the boxes. I lifted it and suddenly felt some mild resistance(阻力). I looked up to see one of the largest gentlemen I had ever seen in my life. Frightening was notthe word to describe his appearance. He was wearing lots of straps of metal spiked leather(带有柳钉的皮带) around both arms and even his neck. Still, tattoos(纹身) were an obvious love of his.I started to return the box but he gently pushed it back in my direction and back into my hands. He then directed it into my shopping cart. He looked at me, smiled, and said, “Merry Christmas.” All the way home I was thinking that this moment was by far the best Christmas gift I had ever received. The kindness of a stranger that broke all prejudice(偏见) I may have had of certain types of people. The softness of a human heart can be seen in a simple act. I will never forget it.19．What may be the best title of the passage?A. Black Friday Sales.B. A Child’s Bike.C. The Best Christmas Gift.D. A Handsome Stranger.20．Why do many people go to Black Friday sales?A. Because they can make money.B.Because it’s a way to celebrate Christmas.C. Because they hope to find a bargain.D. Because it’s a place to get things free of charge. 21．What can we learn from the passage?A. All roads lead to Rome.B. Men cannot be judged by their appearances.C. You cannot clap with one hand.D. It’s never too old to study.CAfter years of heated debate, gray wolves were reintroduced to Yellowstone National Park. Fourteen wolves were caught in Canada and transported to the park. By last year, the Yellowstone wolf population had grown to more than 170 wolves.Gray wolves once were seen here and there in the Yellowstone area and much of the continental United States, but they were gradually displaced by human development. By the 1920s, wolves had practically disappeared from the Yellowstone area. They went farther north into the deep forests of Canada, where there were fewer humans around.The disappearance of the wolves had many unexpected results. Deer and elk populations—major food sources (来源) for the wolf—grew rapidly. These animals consumed large amounts of vegetation (植被), which reduced plant diversity in the park. In the absence of wolves, coyote populations also grew quickly. The coyotes killed a large percentage of the park’s red foxes, and completely drove away the park’s beavers.As early as 1966,biologists asked the government to consider reintroducing wolves to YellowstonePark.They hoped that wolves would be able to control the elk and coyote problems. Many farmers opposed the plan because they feared that wolves would kill their farm animals or pets.The government spent nearly 30 years coming up with a plan to reintroduce the wolves. The U.S.Fish and Wildlife Service carefully monitors and manages the wolf packs in Yellowstone.Today,the debate continues over how well the gray wolf is fitting in at Yellowstone.Elk,deer,and coyote populations are down,while beavers and red fores have made a comeback.The Yellowstone wolf project has been a valuable experiment to help biologists decide whether to reintroduce wolves to other parts of the country as well.22.What is the text mainly about?A.The reintroduction of wolves to Yellowstone Park.B.Plant diversity in the Yellowstone area.C.The conflict between farmers and gray wolves.D.Wildlife research in the United States.23.What does the underlined word “displaced” in paragraph 2 mean?A.Tested.B.Separated.C.Tracked down.D.Forced out.24.What did the disappearance of gray wolves bring about？A. Preservation of vegetation.B.A decline in the park’s income.C. Damage to local ecology.D.An increase in the variety of animals.25.What is the author’s attitude towards the Yellowstone wolf project？A.Positive.B. Doubtful.C.Disapproving.D.Uncaring.III.阅读七选五（共5小题，每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。
