know the rules as well as the culture of the people. A travel mate will

Alida Monaco doesn’t spend her summers doing the usual teenage work, like working

Fierce (激烈的)competition, older workers returning to the workforce and weak
economic growth are all adding to the decrease of teenagers in the workforce. But

said Shannon Reed, a lecturer at the University of Pittsburgh and a former high school
English teacher.“ I could never advise that they get jobs during that short break.
”
Young people who don’t work may miss out on valuable skills that they’11 need
control and help people learn to deal with adult situations. But Monaco, who plans to attend Harvard, isn’t fazed by her lack(缺乏)of work experience. “Maybe I have
missed out on a couple of life skills, ”she said. “ But I don’t think it will harm
me in way.

A. They are becoming lazy.
B. They are fond of doing holiday jobs.
C. They are focusing more on studies than on jobs.
D. They are becoming particular about (挑剔)holiday jobs

A. The reasons for teenagers giving up work.
B. The fierce competition teenagers face.

D. The effects of America9 s weak economy.
30. What’s Shannon Reed’s attitude towards the new trend?
A. uncaring. B. favorable(支持的). C. worried. D. doubtful.
31. What does the underlined word “fazed” in the last paragraph mean?
A. supported. B. helped. C. upset. D. confused.

How to Survive in an EarthquakeEarthquakes have happened in many places recently, causing significant damage.
So how to keep safe during an earthquake has become an important issue. Here are some
guidelines.
Above all, don’t be nervous and try to keep calm. If you are outdoors, it’s
necessary to get into an open area away from trees,buildings, walls, power lines
and anything else that might fall on you. If you are indoors, quickly move to a safe
place such as under a strong desk. Cover your head and neck with your arms to protect
yourself from falling objects. Finally, never use the lift.
Actually we can reduce the damage that earthquakes bring us if we take right
measures.

W: Good morning. My name is Julie Hartwell, and I’m going to talk to you today
about your firefighter training program. The program lasts for three months. During
this time, you’ll learn about ladder safety and some equipment. The college has over
two acres of grounds, where we can create real fires for students to practice on 一
under safe conditions, of course. We will learn how to fight fires on trains, fires
in buildings and fires at petrol stations. This is a very important part of the course
because it helps to get used to working in very hot, smoky places. If you want to
apply for this course, you must be 18 years of age or over, have a full driving license
and be very fit. You must also be able to work as a part of a team and be able to
solve problems in very difficult situations. The other thing you need to remember
before applying for this course is that you will often be working when your friends
are enjoying themselves. If you have any questions, please come and see me in my office,
which is Room 116 on the first floor.
