If watching kids isn’t quite the part-time job you’d want to keep yourself busy with during the summer holidays, then here are some of the coolest jobs for teens. 
Camp Counselor 辅导员) 
Though it’s kind of a babysitting job, it’s much more fun as it exposes you to many skills such as team working and many other activities. Another advantage of this kind of job is that you are more likely to make new friends as you will be working with a number of people.
Life Guard
This will not be a job for anyone as it is quite demanding when you’re really needed. Under calm conditions, the job involves sitting by the poolside as you watch over swimmers and helping them in case of emergencies. For life guard tasks, special training and certifications are required.
Dog Walker
For animal lovers, you have not been left out. This job involves taking care of dogs and walking them. Fun as it is, dog walking can be a boring exercise especially if you have more than one dog to walk. As for this job, you need to advertise yourself in your neighborhood by using flyers or approaching dog owners to ask if they need your services. 
Retail & Food Service 
If you are 14 and above then you may consider getting a “real” job as a store or restaurant attendant this summer. Creating a resume (简历) for yourself with all the required information such as contact information and any skill or working experience that you’d like your employer to know about is important.

Maybe you want to give back to your munity, but you don’t know where to begin. It was something Rebecca Reeder used to hear from friends whenever they learned she volunteered around the Los Angeles area.
The idea finally took shape during her 30th birthday celebration. Reeder and her brother put together a surprise party for her guests. They rented a party bus in secret and invited everyone she knew to a mystery (神秘) event. The surprise bus ride was not only a hit but also an effective ice breaker. Many guests had never met before that night but they were all fast friends by the end of the trip.
Reeder and a friend realized this might be the answer for friends seeking fun ways to do good.
Then they began Do Good Bus and hosted their first munity ride in 2010. Everyone assumed it would be a one-off event, but participants had such fun and felt so good about giving back that they demanded another. And then another. “This kind of things just snowballed from there,” says Reeder, who is now a full-time director of the growing nonprofit organization.
Over the past seven years, Do Good Bus has offered once-a-month public rides in Los Angeles. Volunteers board the bus and ride to a mystery munity service project. Reeder likes to keep the locations and causes a secret to add an element of fun and mystery, and to prevent people from arriving with too much expectation.
Participants pay $ 45, with 10 percent going to the day’s cause and the rest going to Do Good Bus to help cover costs and run the program.
Rides usually last four to five hours and include everything from working in homeless shelters to beach cleanups to planting munity gardens.
The aim, says Reeder, is to raise awareness about causes, and encourage continued support in the munity while having a good time.
24. Why did Reeder say the bus ride on her birthday was an ice breaker?
A. It exposed the need of the poor to people. B. It made people realize how to do good deeds.
C. It made people brave enough to stand the cold ice. D. It helped people get connected in the activity.
25. What do we know about their first ride in 2010?
A. It took place in winter.        B. It was disappointing.
C. It was a great success.        D. The author organized it alone.
26. How does Reeder get the money for the activities?
A. Participants pay for them. B. The government supports her.
C. She raises money in society, D. munity covers 10 percent of the cost.
27. What can we infer about the Do Good Bus?
A. It takes about 5 hours on the way. B. It offers a pleasant way to do good deeds.
C. It raises money for the participants’ munity. D. It gives a surprising and friendly celebration.
C
With technology entering almost every aspect of our lives, the demand for puter programmers can only increase. To train the workforce of the future, panies around the world are wildly developing puting languages to introduce children to the appealing world of programming both in and out of school.
The only drawback is that to learn or observe the results of their programming efforts, children have to be able to see. As a result, kids with limited or no vision (视觉) are prevented from participating in this exciting trend. To change that, researchers at Microsoft’s Cambridge, UK Lab have developed a new physical programming language that can be learned by all children.
Project Torino allows visually damaged kids aged 7 to 11 to create code (编码) that plays music, stories, or poetry by connecting physical pods (检测装置) together. Once done, an acpanying app changes the physical code into digital code. The smart system covers all the major concepts and is ready to adapt to the needs of each student and set challenges based on the individual’s skill. Most importantly, it provides instant feedback, enabling educators to assess students’ progress and provide assistance as needed.
The Microsoft team is currently developing the system further. Among the changes is adding color to the previously all-white pods because it helps children with limited vision to learn better. The size of the pods is also being increased since kids working in pairs were more engaged when they could both physically hold the pods and touch hands.
The program will be expanded to 100 elementary school children in the UK this fall, and, once perfected, to kids across the world. While the system was created with visually damaged children in mind, Cecily Morrison, one of the researchers working on the project, hopes that it will appeal to everyone.
28. Why do panies introduce children to the programming world?
A. To satisfy children’s curiosity.       B. To develop children’s potential.
C. To foster the future programmers.      D. To make children more petitive.
29. What does the underlined word “that” probably refer to?
A. The exciting trend.         B. The drawback.
C. Limited and poor sight.        D. A physical language.
30. What is the advantage of the new smart system?
A. It can help judge children’s progress. B. It bases the challenges on kids’ vision.
C. Children with poor sight can see the code. D. It gives children guidance and instructions.
31. What is mainly talked about in Paragraph 4?
A. The size of the pods.         B. The color of the pods.
C. The Microsoft team’s hard work.      D. The improvement to the new system.
D
They train four hours a day, often waking up at 4:30 or 5 for before-school practices. Their evenings and weekends are eaten up by twice-weekly travel games. Every day is the same; there’s no break. No, these aren’t Olympic athletes; they’re kids.
The benefits of sports are obvious. So, it’s not surprising that, according to CNN, 41 million American children play petitive sports. But when does this bee too much of a good thing?
Seven years ago, a survey in SportingKid magazine found 84 percent of athletes’ parents had observed belligerent behavior in other parents at games and that 80 percent had been targets of this behavior. What does this say about sports culture, and our culture as a whole? Some parents have bee so crazy about their children’s winning that they don’t stop to think about what example they are setting.
If athletes are constantly surrounded by adults who scream at coaches and attack sports officials, they may think that this is acceptable behavior. They’ll try to win at all costs. In other words, they won’t know how to accept defeat, and learn from it.
The amount of time some athletes spend practicing can be dangerous. According to Sports Illustrated, over 3.5 million athletes younger than 15 suffered from a sports-related injury—that’s nearly one in ten! Many injuries cause permanent (永久的) damage if not treated.
So what can we do about this situation? Some argue that there is no problem, because sports has always been and will always be petitive. But did your grandparents spend hours each day practicing tennis or volleyball? No, they probably played with the neighborhood kids after school, not worrying about winning. All they wanted was to have fun. And that’s what we need to change in youth sports—focus on enjoyment.
32. What does the underlined word “belligerent” refer to?
A. Aggressive.     B. Mild.      C. Elegant.     D. Reasonable.
33. What’s the consequence of adults’ bad examples?
A. Young athletes’ scores will be affected.  B. Young athletes’ performance will suffer.
C. Young athletes won’t know how to succeed. D. Young athletes won’t deal with failure properly.
34. What is the tone of the text?
A. Relaxed.     B. Critical.     C. Objective.     D. Humorous.
35. Which is the best title for the text?
A. More practice, less failure        B. Fight for victory to the last second
C. Enjoyment first, petition second      D. Prohibit kids from petitive sports

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。选项中有 两项为多余选项。
Tiny Tomatoes
Tomatoes e in a variety of sizes, shapes and colors. And the little tomatoes are some of the most fun to grow and are perhaps the most rewarding.
Little tomatoes are classified into plum, cherry, grape or currant (醋栗) tomatoes.   36   Plum tomatoes are the largest of the groups listed, and currant tomatoes are the smallest. There are also differences in color, flavor (风味) and skin thickness, but these differences are more relative to specific varieties.  37  
Plum, cherry and other small tomato types are fun to grow because they always produce abundant crops of flavorful fruit. They are fun to snack on while working in the garden or while daydreaming about working in the garden.  38   They are typically sweeter than large tomatoes, and little tomatoes contain less juice and fewer seeds than large tomatoes.
To grow little tomatoes, select a site that receives at least six to eight hours of full sun per day. Use a large container set in a sunny spot if a sunny planting site is otherwise unavailable.
  39   You could also plant seeds, but already-started plants will provide fruit much more quickly. Water infrequently to help plants grow deep roots before the heat of summer arrives.
Harvest fruits when they are ripe. They will generally slip from the plan at this point.  40   Store harvested fruit indoors and unrefrigerated as cool temperatures change the flavor.
A. The best time to grow tomato plants is March.
B. All of them are delicious and nearly of the same size.
C. But at the same time they should still feel firm in your hand.
D. The classifications most monly refer to differences in size.
E. Small tomatoes are also good additions to salads and cooked dishes.
F. Flavor and skin thickness are also influenced by growing conditions.
G. Select plants from your favorite local garden center, farmers, market etc.
