22、   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 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 (织) 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 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.

【1】Kids can have full-time jobs at the age of ________ in the USA.

A.17 B.14 C.13 D.10

【2】If you are 15 years old, you can't work ________.

A.after school B.on weekends C.during holidays D.on weekdays

【3】Reisa makes money by ________.

A.cleaning up other people's yards B.writing articles for different magazines

C.drawing pictures for others D.knitting dog sweaters and selling them to her neighbors

【4】According to the passage, which of the following is NOT true?

A.You are learning how to succeed by working in your teens.

B.Kids are encouraged to live independently (独立) in the USA.

C.Earning one's money is better than asking for money from others.

D.Kids don't need to get along with others when making money.

【5】From the passage we know that ________.

A.parents won't let their children earn their own money

B.it's hard for kids under 14 years old to earn money in the USA

C.kids can learn skills if they try to earn money on their own

D.if kids try to earn money, they won't have enough time to study

23、   Some people don't like storms, but I think they are very exciting.

There are often storms at the end of a hot summer day. The clouds are small and white at first. However, they get bigger and bigger until they make one large, black cloud. The sky gets dark and it starts to rain hard. And then the streets are like swimming pools. There is a flash of bright light in the sky and then, after a few seconds, you can hear the loud “bang” of thunder.

Light travels very fast, so we always see the lightning(闪电) before we hear the thunder. If the clouds are one kilometre away, you can count to three, between the lightning and the thunder.

Lightning is very beautiful but it can also be dangerous. Lightning is electricity(电流) “jumping” to the ground from a cloud. It usually hits tall things, so if you are outside when there is thunder and lightning, don't stand under a tree.

【1】We can see _________ in a storm.

A.a light rain B.a white cloud

C.a small cloud D.lightning

【2】The streets are like swimming pools because _________.

A.the cloud is large and dark

B.the sky gets dark

【4】If the clouds are three kilometers away, you can count to _________ between the lightning and the thunder.

A.three B.six C.nine D.twelve

【5】What should you do when there is thunder and lightning?

A.Climb up a tree. B.Stand under a tree.

C.Stand under tall things. D.Stay in a car

24、   One day, the old smart Socrates walked down the streets. A man ran up to him, “Socrates, I have to tell you something about your friend…”

“Hold up!” Socrates said. “About the story, did you put it through the three sieves（筛子）?”

“Three sieves?” the man asked. “What are three sieves?”

“Let's try this,” Socrates said. “The first sieve is the one of truth（真相）. Is the story true or not?”

“Well, I am not sure. I just heard it from a friend," the man said.

“Ah, well then the second sieve-the good sieve,” Socrates asked. "Is your story something good?”

“Uh no,” the man answered.

The smart man said, “Let's use the third sieve then. Is it necessary to tell me the story?”

“No. Not necessary,” the man said.

Socrates said with a smile, "If the story isn't true, good or necessary, just forget it and don't bother（打扰）me with it any more."
