14、Sports, drama, and all kinds of organizations keep students busy during high school. Where do they get the money to do these things? Not everyone gets it from parents. Most have to work for at least some of the money to pay for these activities. Some adults question if high school students should have jobs. I say yes, they undoubtedly should.
Some people worry that teens with after-school jobs will have difficulty finding time for schoolwork. Actually, having a job helps teens make better use of their time. Many jobs take only a couple of hours on weeknights. According to an article, 86 percent of high school students have an after-school, weekend or summer job and students who work between 10 and 20 hours per week during the school year get higher grades than those who do not work at all. Instead of considering working after school ahindrance, it should be looked at as real-world education.
Other people think that work adds too much stress（压力）, which may be somewhat true, but whether having a job or not, there is always stress. Better to learn how to deal with busy schedules（日程表）in a controlled environment like high school than to be out on your own and alone in the future, experiencing stress for the first time. I personally would be worried about the teenager who has to become independent without having any experience of working.
The biggest reason teens should work is that it is a healthy way of making money. There are many things teens need to pay for and they cannot do it if they don’t have a job. Not all parents can pay for these activities. My dad told me, “Having a job is a good way to save up for things you are going to need or want to do. You get a lot more out of things if you pay for them yourself.” The sooner kids make money, the sooner they can learn how to use money wisely. If they are not allowed to work in high school, they may have a hard time in the future. Teens should, without a doubt, be allowed to work on school nights.
1．The word“hindrance” in Paragraph 2 probably means “_______”.
A．something that encourages teens to study
B．something that helps teens improve study
C．something that prevents teens from studying
D．something that makes teens lose interest in study
2．What can we learn from Paragraph 3?
A．Teens are too busy with study to work at high school.
B．Teens experience stress for the first time at high school.
C．Teens are worried about being independent in the future.
D．Teens who work will deal with stress better in the future.
3．Which of the following is true according to the passage?
A．Working makes teens get lower grades.
B．Working teaches teens to spend money more wisely.
C．Working helps teens to get on better with their parents.
D．Working stops teens from taking part in after-school activities.
4．What does the passage mainly talk about?
A．What money means to teens.
B．Why teens should work after school.
C．Whether parents should help teens find jobs.
D．How teens get money for after-school activities.

15、A mother wanted to encourage her son to play the piano. She bought tickets to the concert of a great pianist. When the evening arrived，they found their seats near the front of the concert hall and looked at the big piano waiting on the stage(舞台). Soon the mother found a friend to talk to and her son ran off.
At eight o’clock, the lights in the hall became weak, and the concert was set to start. The mother began to look for the boy. Then, she saw her 6-year-old son on stage. He was on the piano bench playing Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star.
The mother was very amazed. Before she could get her son back, the famous pianist himself was on the stage and quickly moved to the piano.
“Don’t stop. Keep playing,” he said kindly to the boy. The great pianist reached down with his left hand and began filling in the bass (低音部) part of the song. Soon, his right arm reached around the other side and played a beautiful piece of music. Together, the old pianist and the little boy impressed people with their beautiful music.
In all of our lives, we receive helping hands — some we notice, some we don’t. Equally we ourselves also have lots of chances to give a helping hand to others — sometimes we want people to know, sometimes we don’t. Little of what we all achieve comes without others’ help. What we receive we should give back.

1．The mother took her son to the piano concert because _____.
A．her friend sent them two tickets
B．the pianist invited them there
C．she wanted to develop his interest in piano
D．her son liked the pianist very much
2．When the mother found her son playing on stage, she felt _____.
A．happy B．encouraged
C．interested D．surprised
3．What did the pianist ask the boy to do?
A．To go back to his mother.
B．To keep playing the piano.
C．To play the bass part of the song.
D．To watch him play instead.
4．What does the story tell us?
A．It is good to give a helping hand to others.
B．Great people always like to help others.
C．It is important to give a child a lesson on stage.
D．A mother should take good care of her child.

16、“Why do birds sing?” I asked a group of children. “To attract metes(配偶)!” answered a boy. A 4-year-old girl added shyly, “birds sing because they are happy, and they want to make us happy, too.” I think both answers are probably true in a way. If birds sing happily, it shows all is good in the forest: no predators (捕食者) are present, and the birds can feed, sing and do other bird things. The sound of a relaxed robin(知更鸟) singing is easy to understand because it makes us feel this way too—it’s a sound that lifts our own hearts when we hear it.
What happens when a predator comes into their areas? The nearby birds quickly give an alarm(警报) call, a short sound that warns, “Danger is coming!” On hearing the sound, the other birds stop singing and fly away, the deer lift their heads and stop moving and the rabbits run into the bushes. Suddenly, the forest becomes silent.
When humans walk through the woods in a hurry or while talking with a friend, we don’t see much wildlife. We may think that there aren’t many animals living there, but more likely, they know we are coming and hide minutes before our arrival. But if we learn to avoid setting off alarms, we can see many more wild animals without frightening them. To practice, find a place in a park and sit quietly for an hour. Take notes as the birds begin to relax and sing again. When I do this, I am always surprised at the wonderful thing animals will do when humans stay still (不动的) long enough.
1．In the writer’s opinion, the children’s answers to his question are .
A．funny B．interesting C．honest D．reasonable
2．Why can’t we see much wildlife in the woods from this passage?
A．Because we have set off alarms. B．Because we fail to give warnings.
C．Because we come at the wrong time. D．Because few animals live there.
3．The purpose of the last paragraph is to .
A．show people how and when birds sing.
B．ask people to learn something about birds.
C．tell people how to protect birds in the wild.
D．advise people to enjoy the songs of birds.
4．What is the passage mainly about?
A．The life of birds. B．How birds sing in the forest.
C．Birds in the forest. D．The messages in birds’ singing.

This weekend a marathon ( 马拉松 ) took place in Salzburg. I admired the runners who ran 42.2 kilometers for over four hours. But I've never run for more than half an hour.
At university I play korfball. This is a team sport with eight people on each team. The aim is to shoot ( 投篮 ) the ball into the hoop. All players get a chance to attack ( 攻 ) and defend ( 守 ) during the game and it's very fast. When I started korfball, I wasn't very good at it. I could throw and catch but I wasn't very fast on my feet. Shooting was also difficult for me. However, I really enjoyed the sport and made friends in the club, so I went training twice a week. Two years later I am in the first team for my university and have played in many matches. This just shows if you train hard, you can succeed.
Running is difficult because you have to make yourself willing to keep going. I used to get really out of breath while running and I didn't feel good at all! Now I actually enjoy going for a run along the river in Salzburg, feeling my muscles ( 肌肉 ) working and breathing in the fresh air.
Challenging exercise is always worth doing. Hiking is fun because all the hard work—walking uphill comes at the beginning of the day, then at the top of the mountain you can enjoy the view. At the end of the day you feel like you've really achieved something.
I will never be a marathon runner, but I would like to try a 10-km run sometime, or perhaps even a half-marathon. How happy the runners were as they crossed the finishing line! I'd like to have that feeling—the months of training paying off as yo
