21、Low-cost business ideas for teens
The vast majority of young people want to own a business someday. The good news is your teen can start a small business at any age. Here are a few businesses that almost any teen could start with little or no cost.
Graphic Designing (平面设计)
The Internet has opened up possibilities for any aged artist to create and sell drawings. Teens can use various software programs to create images and there are many websites where teens can introduce their creations and offer their services.
Babysitting
Babysitting is a common part-time job for young workers. Teens should learn basic first aid skills and possess skills working with children. Teens who receive high recommendations from parents are likely to be in high demand, which can allow them to increase their pay.
Blogging
Blogging isn’t an easy way to make money, but many people have created highly successful blogs that allow them to earn money with advertising space. However, your teen should understand that it isn’t an easy way to get rich, and it can take a lot of work to get a blog started.
Reselling
A teen who is good at bargain shopping may find success by buying and reselling items. Plenty of people earn a living by shopping at their local second-hand shop and then selling the items on auction (拍卖) sites, like eBay. Clearly, your teen will need a little start-up money.

22、Members of an elephant family wandering in southwestern China have become international stars! The group left a wildlife reserve in the southwest of Yunnan province more than a year ago and has traveled around 500 kilometers north to the suburbs of the provincial capital city of Kunming.
Along their way, the family visited farms and wandered down city streets. They even dropped in a car shop and showed up at a retirement home. At the home, some elephants attempted to visit rooms, leading a frightened old man to hide under his bed.
Wherever the family goes, they have received official red-carpet receptions. Each day, 2.5 tons of food has been laid out along their way by the local governments. Emergency workers, vehicles and drones have been deployed to follow their movements and keep away the people.
The 15 member family's excursion has also been constantly documented by major social media in China and abroad. YouTube and Weibo are full of short videos showing interesting behaviors of the animals as they continue their path across farmlands, villages and around cities. One of the most popular clips showed two baby elephants being helped out of a ditch by older members of the group. The pictures of the group sleeping received 25,000 posts and more than 200 million views.
It remains unclear why the elephants left their home, although Evan Sun, manager of World Animal Protection, says that possible reasons could include lack of food supply and, most importantly, loss of habitat. But many experts think they are just lost.
Anyway, this is a great opportunity to educate the public about the challenges that wild animals face for survival and the need for better protection from government, industry and society levels. These animals belong in the wild. We need to keep them in the wild, which is good for us and the wild animals.
【1】Why did the old man go under his bed?

C.He had to follow the strict order.
D.He didn't want to frighten his guests.

【4】Which of the following is a suitable title for the text?

23、 My doctor took me for a walk around the farm where she lives. I was physically and emotionally exhausted and discouraged by anxiety and depression.
The place was full of life. There were insects, horses, rabbits and a cat. She told me to focus on my body in the environment.
When I was ill I tended to retreat into my mind and disconnect from here and now. So, when I met a horse named Fira, I expected nothing.
As I got closer to Fira, she nuzzled (用鼻子爱抚)her nose into my chest, putting a gentle pressure over my heart. Something happened inside me: I felt as if I had reached a wellspring (源泉)of past hurts, fears and failings. I began to melt emotionally.
I patted Fira's nose and breathed in her smell. I found I didn't have to concentrate on feeling better; Fira helped me feel loved and safe.
I worked with Fira often, learning basic communication and leading methods to work together with her. Initially, I wasn't sure exactly what one would do with a horse except riding it. But I knew that Fira had touched me in an uncommon way and had made me feel better. She connected with me by responding to my emotional state and reflecting it back to me in an open, affectionate way.
In my meetings with Fira, I found that I lost my usual self-consciousness and I would focus entirely on communicating.
I learned to live in the present, to focus on what was happening this day, in this moment, in this place. I learned to forget the past, with all its hurts. I learned to forget the future, which hasn't happened yet. When you stand beside a horse, you exist completely in the moment.
"With Fira by my side, I saw into a life in which trust comes first, and compassion follows.
I found a deep peace in leading her along a path, by using my own power of intention to indicate whether to start, stop, turn left or turn right. I felt an inner quiet and even joy. My work with this horse was part of a journey out of a very dark night in my soul.

【2】When the author first met Fira, she .

D.didn't have any interest in keeping a pet
【3】What does the underlined phrase in paragraph 3 mean?
A.Get out of trouble. B.Keep away from others.
C.Lift up my spirits. D.Make up my mind.
【4】When the author and Fira worked together,.
A.the author had to try hard to feel better
B.Fira helped the author focus on her thoughts

24、 Once I had a student called Jamal. He would squirm (扭来扭去)in his chair during independent work, and he would never stay still for more than three or four minutes. Students like Jamal can confuse brand new teachers because they’re not quite sure how to support young people like him. I took a direct approach. I negotiated with Jamal. If he could give me focused work, then he could do it from anywhere in the classroom: from our classroom rug, from behind my desk, or from inside his classroom locker, which turned out to be his favorite place.
Jamal’s least favorite subject was writing, and he never wanted to read what he had written out loud in class, but we were still making progress. One day, I decided to host a mock (模拟的)2008 presidential election in my classroom. My third graders had to research and write a speech for their chosen candidate: Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton or John McCain. The favorite candidates were obvious, but one student chose John McCain. It was Jamal. Jamal finally decided to read something that he had written out loud in class, and sure enough, Jamal stunned all of us with his brilliance. Just like Jamal’s dad, John McCain was a veteran, and just like Jamal’s dad protected him, Jamal believed that John McCain would protect the entire country. He wasn’t my candidate of choice, but it didn’t matter, because the entire class erupted into applause for our brave friend Jamal who finally showed up as his most confident self for the first time that year.
A lack of confidence pulls us down from the bottom and weighs us down from the top, crushing us between a flurry of can’ts and won’ts. Without confidence, we get stuck, and when we get stuck, we can’t even get started. Instead of getting mired in what can get in our way, confidence invites us to perform with certainty.
【1】Which of the following best describes Jamal?
A.Naughty and stubborn B.Determined but shy
C.Smart but unfocused D.Confident and generous
【2】Why did Jamal choose John McCain in the mock 2008 presidential election?
A.Because John was the least popular among the three choices.
B.Because John had written something about him before.
C.Because John shared some similarities with Jamal’s father.
D.Because John was a soldier who could protect the country.
【3】What does the underlined word “stun” mean?
A.Amaze. B.Cheer. C.Awake. D.Entertain.
【4】What is the main purpose of the text?
A.To introduce the change of the authors student.
B.To show how to deal with problem students.
C.To stress the importance of encouragement.
D.To encourage us to be confident.
