This is easy to say if you don’t have one yourself, I know. But the only people who don’t have troubles are gathered in little neighborhoods. We call them cemeteries (坟 墓). If you’re breathing, you have difficulties. That’s how life is. But believe it or not, most of your problems may actually be good for you! Let me explain. Maybe you know about the Great Barrier Reef (大堡礁), running some 1800 miles from New Guinea (新几内亚) to Australia. Tour guides often take visitors to see the reef. On one tour, the guide was asked an interesting question. “I notice that the lagoon (泻湖) side of the reef looks pale (苍白) and lifeless, while the ocean side is lively and colorful. Why is this?” The guide answered: “The coral (珊瑚) around the lagoon side is in still water. With no challenge to its survival (生存), it dies early. The coral on the ocean side is always being tested by wind, waves and storms. It has to fight for its survival every day. As it is challenged and tested, it changes and grows healthy, it grows strong.” He added, “That’s the way it is with every living thing.” That’s how it is with people. Challenged and tested, we come alive! Like coral by the sea, we grow. Physical problems make for a stronger body. Stress makes for a stronger mind. So, you have problems—no problem! Just tell yourself, “There I grow again!” 阅读文章，选择正确答案。 1. From the beginning of the passage we know _______.

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 (赚) 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 (技术) 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.
