26、As today’s high schoolers are facing too much homework, sports teams and clubs and high-rising college costs, many people are rethinking the idea of high schoolers working. Are there still benefits of having a job in high school? The answer is yes.

When I was 14 years old, my mother suggested that I get a job in order to pay for college. Unhappy with my sporadic (零星的) babysitting work, I told my mother that, no matter what job I got, I’d never be able to cover college costs on a high school worker’s pay.

My mother smiled and told me that there were plenty of other reasons why I should get a job apart from just the paycheck (工资支票). So I found myself finally accepting a job as a swim instructor and lifeguard at my town’s public pool. I ended up working part-time at the pool through all four years of high school.

Not everything about the job was marvelous. Actually, there were times I hated jumping in the pool on cold mornings and lecturing kids on their bad manners, but, like my mother said, I got many other benefits from the job besides the paycheck.

At my job, I made lots of new friends, more than I had made in high school. I also learnt lots of skills including CPR (心肺复苏法) training. I was also able to use my work experience to stand out from other job applicants in college and get a paid research job as a freshman in college.

For many high school students, there are many benefits of having a job. Not only will high school jobs give you a way to make some money, meet new people, and develop some skills, you can also use your teenage jobs to get yourself a better job in college.

【1】What was my mother’s suggestion when I was 14 years old?

A．She suggested that the author get a job to pay for college.

B．She suggested that the author do babysitting work.

C．She suggested that the author face too much homework.

D．She suggested that the author jump in the pool.

【2】What does the underlined word “marvelous” in Paragraph 4 probably mean?

A．Tiring.

B．Frightening

C．Adventurous.

D．Enjoyable.

【3】How did the author’s part-time job benefit him?

A．It led him to be a headmaster.

B．It helped him get a good job in college.

C．It helped him run his own company in college.

D．It provided him with enough money to pay for college.

【4】What is the best title for the text?

A．More Than Just the Paycheck

B．My First Job in High School

C．What I Learnt from a Swim Instructor

D．High Schoolers Are Having a Hard Time

28、Ways to protect eyes from screens

Too much screen time may cause serious eye strain (眼疲劳）and even a sharp decline of eyesight. That's a big problem a lot of people are faced with nowadays, especially those who work on a computer. The following tips may be helpful.

Get regular eye tests

Experts recommend having a comprehensive eye exam every year to detect (探测）problems before they develop. During this test, you should tell the doctor how often you use your phone and your computer. 【1】 Tell your doctor about it, and your eyes can be tested more accurately at that distance.

Give your eyes space

The closer your phone/computer screen is to your eyes, the harder they have to work to focus.【2】 If this makes it hard for you to read, consider increasing the size of the text rather than moving the screen closer.

Take breaks

This may not always be practical if you're quite busy，but it's important not to stare directly at a screen for too long. 【3】 While surveys have shown that many office workers take no more than half an hour a day away from their computer, it's recommended that you take a 15-minute break after every two hours spent at your screen.

【4】

Staring at a screen continuously for hours on end may make it difficult for you to focus. To avoid this, many eye experts recommend the “20-20-20 rule”---looking away from your phone/computer screen every 20 minutes and focusing on an object at least 20 feet away for at least 20 seconds. The science behind his trick is that looking at objects at a distance relaxes the focusing muscle in the eye. 【5】

A．Exercise your eyes.

B．Give your eyes a chance to rest.

C．Make your screen more eye-friendly.

D．Studies show it’s an effective way to reduce tiredness.

E．You should also measure the distance from your eyes to your screen at work.

F．Make sure that you use your phone or computer in a room where the lighting is bright enough.

G．Studies on eye strain suggest that computer screens should be no closer than 40 cm from your face.

29、   There were already signs that Michael Jordan was very talented（有才能的） as a young boy. Harvest Smith,a good friend,played basketball with him every day then, and thought he was the best player on their ninth-grade team.

The summer after ninth grade, Jordan and Smith both went to the Pop Herring's basketball camp to run for the high school team. All the other students looked much stronger than Jordan,because they were two or three years older than him.

It was the worst day of Jordan's young life. He kept reading the list, hoping that he had missed it, or that there was something wrong with the list. That day he went home and cried.

Smith found that Jordan had been very competitive before he was cut,and after that he seemed even more competitive than ever. His coaches found it,too."One day,the jayvee had a match. When I came into the gym, the match was just ending up.Their scores fell behind a lot. All the other nine players had given up,but one kid still played very hard.

30、I am convinced that even the smartest people have to work hard to achieve success, because there is no such person as a born winner. People make themselves into winners by their own _________ .

Many years ago, I took the head _________job at a school in Baxley, Georgia. It was a small school with a weak football program. It was a tradition for the school’s old team to play against the _________ team at the end of spring practice. The old team had no coach, and they didn’t even practice to _________ the game. Being the coach of the new team, I was excited because I knew we were going to win, but to my disappointment we were _________ . Thinking hard about it, I came to realize that I had to change my _________ towards their ability and potential.

I started doing anything I could to help them build a little _________. Most importantly, I began to treat them like _________. That summer, when the other teams enjoyed their vacations, we met every day and _________ passing and kicking the football.

Six months after suffering our defeat on the spring practice field, we won our first game and our second, and continued to__________. Finally, we faced the number one team in the state. I felt that it would be a __________ for us even if we lost the game. But that wasn’t what happened. My boys beat the best team in Georgia, giving me the greatest __________ of my life!
