A
Part-time jobs for 15 and 16 years olds
Waiter / Waitress
A job as a waiter or waitress is a good choice for 16-year-olds. Not only can one earn $9-$12 an
hour, but they can also get the tips (小费). Most people that visit a restaurant don’t just have good
food. They come here to relax and have a good time. Besides serving food quickly, a young waiter
who talks to them politely with a smile on his face will make the diners enjoy their time at the
restaurant.
Work in a library
If one is fond of books, working in a library is another suitable choice. Besides the pay is good, it
offers a lot of free time when students can actually sit down and finish their homework. So on
returning home, they would have time to hang around with friends or just relax. So working in a
library is an excellent part-time job for teens, especially for school students.
Internet jobs
There are many ways of making money through online jobs like clicking on advertisements,
visiting sites and signing up with them. However, such online jobs don’t pay well. A better
Internet job for teens is to complete online surveys. These are quite simple surveys that usually
ask one about his/ her opinions and ideas. Many companies use these ideas to make products
designed for teenagers. 2 / 12
1. A student who is busy with his research paper will probably choose to work ______.
A. in a restaurant B. in a library

3. Why do some companies ask the teens to do surveys?
A. The teens have more free time.
B. They can pay less to the teens.
C. They need advice to make products for teens.
D. The teens usually express their true opinions.

A young boy recently received an unexpected message in the mail from his father Joseph,
who died two years ago.
Rowan’s dad was a hard-working man who wanted to give his son the best life he could. It
was why Rowan’s mother, Julie Van Stone, said Joseph joined the Navy and went to MIT to get
two Master’s degrees.
While at school in Boston, he would often write to Rowan. Even when he left school and was
driving back to Colorado, he would send postcards from each state he stopped in. Those postcards
were sent in 2007. “I remember him saying he had sent 5 or 6, but Rowan had only got 3 or 4 in
the mail. But I never thought anything of it,” Van Stone said.
Those postcards and pictures are priceless memories for Van Stone and her son, especially
after Joseph passed away from a rare brain disease. Rowan never had a chance to say goodbye.
But, on Saturday, just days before the two-year anniversary of Joseph’s death, a postcard arrived
in the mail. It arrived on March 11, 2015. The message read: “Hello from Pennsylvania. I love
you, and I miss you so much. See you soon. Love, Daddy.”
Neither he nor his mother knows how it happened, and they may never know. But they have
their own ideas. “I feel like that was the final goodbye that he didn’t get to say,” Van Stone said.
Van Stone says Joseph’s last words to her before he died were: “Everything is a circle. We will
see each other again. All that matters is love.”
4. What did Rowan’s dad do to make his son live well?
A. He got many Master’s Degrees. B. He became a soldier in Navy. 3 / 12
C. He kept writing to his son. D. He said goodbye to his son.
5. When Rowan only received 3 or 4 of postcards, Van Stone ________.
A. paid little attention to that B. let Joseph stop sending postcards
C. drove back to Colorado D. wrote to Rowan every year
6. How long did it take for the last postcard to reach Rowan?
A. 2 years. B. 5 years. C. 6 years. D. 8 years.
7. Where did Rowan’s dad send the last postcard?
A. In Boston. B. In Colorado. C. In Pennsylvania. D. In New York.

Friends play a very important part in everyone’s life. Friendship usually develops during
childhood. New friends are made when you progress through school. Those friends that you make
as a student can usually last long. Friends influence your development, maturity( 成熟) and sense
of responsibility. A familiar opinion is “You can tell a lot about a person by knowing who his
friends are.” Friendship is based on common interests. If you like sports, most of your friends are
likely to be active. If you enjoy reading and shopping, most of your friends do the same.
Some people call you their friends for the wrong reasons. These people are not really friends.
They are only “friends” on the outside, not the inside where it counts. Superficial friends only
want to be your friends if it is to their advantage. True friends are there whether you are rich or
poor. It is easy to have many so-called “friends” if you are rich. By this time you should be able to
recognize your friends as the real or the “false”.
True friends are most special. Sometimes they might not easy to find, so you can consider
yourself very lucky if you have one true friend. This friend is eager to help you whenever
necessary. He or she knows you would do the same for them. A true friend is someone you can
talk to about any subject or problem. You and your true friend have good understanding of each
other. True friends support you, take your side, and build up your confidence.
8. What’s the main idea of the first paragraph?
A. How to make true friends.
B. What is friendship based on.
C. We should make friends in our childhood.
D. Friends play a very important role in our life.
9. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
A. It is easy to have many true friends if you are rich.
B. If you have no music in you, none of your friends will be a music lover.
C. The friendship developing during your school days will be with you for a long time. 4 / 12
D. What you value above anything is the friendship developing during childhood.
10. What does the underlined phrase “so -called ‘friends’” in paragraph 2 probably mean?
A. Friends in need.
B. Those who can help you.
C. Those who often gives you money.
D. Those who want to benefit from you.
11. What’s the author’s attitude towards “true friends” according to paragraph 3?
A. True friends are too difficult to find.
B. You can only share sadness with a true friend.
C. You can only share happiness with a true friend.
D. True friends will stand by you whatever happens.

The interview is an important event in the job-hunting process, because the 20 or 30 minutes
you spend with the interviewer may decide whether or not you get the particular job you want.
Therefore, it is important to remember that your purpose during the interview may differ from that
of the potential employer. You want to make yourself stand out as a whole person who has
personal strengths and should be considered the right person for the job. It is encouraging to know
that the interviewer’s task is not to embarrass you, but to hire the right person for the job.
Remember, job hunting is very competitive. Anything you can do to improve your interview
techniques will be to your advantage. The following suggestions may help you land the most
important job.
Your goal in this interview is to make sure your good points get across. The interviewer
won’t know them unless you point them out, so try to do this in a factual and sincere manner.
Don’t say anything bad about your former employers. If you have been fired from a job and
the interviewer asks about it, be honest.
Show the interviewer that you are interested in the company by asking questions. Ask about
responsibilities, working conditions, promotions opportunities and benefits of the job you are
interviewing for.
If at some point you decide the interview is not going well, do not let your discouragement
show. You have nothing to lose by continuing a show of confidence, and you may have much to
gain. It may be real, or it may be a test to see how you react to adverse conditions.
Some interviewers may bring up salary early in the interview. At this time, you may indicate
that you are more interested in a job where you can prove yourself that a specific salary. This
politely passes the question back to the interviewer. If possible, you should negotiate for salary 5 / 12
after you have been offered a job and have completed the paperwork.
12. To get the job you want, during the interview you should _________________.
A. avoid the interviewer’s questions that are designed to embarrass you
B. remember that you are the best
C. make yourself stand out as the right person for the job
D. tell yourself that you want to get the job
13. If you did not get along with your former employer, you ________________.
A. should tell a lie to the interviewer
B. should not speak ill of him
C. should refer to him in a factual manner
D. should never mention it
14. The underlined word “adverse” in the fifth paragraph can be replaced by _____________.
A. difficult B. friendly
C. opposite D. different
15. The passage is mainly about _______________.
A. how to make your strengths understood
B. how to show your interest in the job
C. how to be frank and sincere
D. how to deal with an interview

Dear Sir / Madam,
I’m Li Hua. I’m writing to apply for the job as an assistant in your travel agency.
I’m a student of 16, studying at a high school now. The reason why I’m interested in the job
is that I’m fond of travel very much. Besides, I want to learn how to communicate with foreigners
from different countries.
As for my advantages, on the one hand, I can speak fluent English. On the other hand, I am
especially familiar with the local tourist destinations and also have a good knowledge of history
and geography. I promise I will finish all the work you give me if I get the position.
I would be grateful if you could consider employing me in your agency.
I’m looking forward to your early reply.
Yours
faithfully,
Li Hua
