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 (小費(fèi)). 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.

1.What does the writer think of the job as a waiter/waitress?

A. It needs a period of training.

B. It pays much more than other jobs.

C. It can improve one’s leadership skills.

D. Making diners comfortable is part of the job.

2.A student who is busy with his research paper will probably choose to work ______.

A. in a restaurant B. in a library C. on the Internet D. in an IT company

3.The writer wrote this text to ______.

On May 23rd the United States Department of Agriculture will meet to discuss the pressing topic of wild pigs. These beasts, which number 6 million or so, are an increasing bother. At their worst, they can damage crops, spread diseases, attack humans and kill farm animals. And things are getting worse: a study show that they are likely to double in number over the next 3 years. Why is it so hard to control wild pigs?

Introduced to America in the 16th century, and related to the wild pigs found in Europe, wild pigs can be found in 75% of all states. No single law exists to control them and regulations differ between states: while in Missouri they can only be shot if met by chance, in Texas hunting is actively encouraged. A “pork chopper” law allows Texan hunters to shoot wild pigs from helicopters, and some people in Louisiana have even built their own pig­hunting drone(無人機(jī)). As well as being popular with hunters, wild pigs are cheaper for game raisers to breed(飼養(yǎng))than deer. In Michigan and Pennsylvania suggested bans on the private breeding of pigs for hunting have caused quarrels between game raisers and wildlife officials.

Wild pigs' double nature——considered pests by farmers, but valued by hunters——makes it hard to pass laws to control them. Two other factors also contribute. Nearly 70% of land in America is privately owned. And it is difficult for lawmakers to impose(強(qiáng)加)breeding and hunting laws on private landowners. Secondly, it is hard to define a wild pig.

In some states, laws are being introduced to redefine the term “wild animal” to keep out wild pigs. This is good news for those raising pigs for hunting, but less are to those who consider them pests whose number should be limited. Meanwhile, discussions continue over how to deal with this problem.

1.People are not permitted to hunt wild pigs freely in ________.

A．Texas B．Michigan

C．Missouri D．Louisiana

2.Why do the game raisers prefer raising wild pigs to deer?

A．It's difficult to raise deer.

B．Wild pigs are in large numbers.

C．Deer are not popular with hunters.

D．They can benefit more from wild pigs.

3.Which is NOT the reason for the difficulty in controlling wild pigs?

A．The difficulty of passing effective laws.

B．The high percentage of land owned privately.

C．The farmers' unwillingness to shoot wild pigs.

D．The popularity of raising wild pigs in many states.

4.What is the best title of the text?

A．Why are wild pigs so hard to control?

B．Are wild pigs pests or wild animals?

C．Wild pigs——an increasing danger in the US.

D．How to deal with the problem of wild pigs?

There are going to be moments in life when you must make very important decisions. You will find many people to offer you advice if you ask for it (and even if you don’t), but always remember that the life you is yours and nobody else’s. It’s important to decide for yourself what’s important to you and what you want before you others. Because while there will be times outside advice proves wise, there will be at least as many times when it proves completely . The only way to really evaluate other folks’ advice is to first learn everything that you can about whatever challenge you are . Once you’ve done that, in most cases you should be able to make a wise decision anyway.

You were with the ability to decide what is and what isn’t in your best interest. Most of the time, you will make the right decision and the appropriate action, and in thinking for yourself, you will become far more successful than if you had gone against your own .

Early on in my investment career, I made the mistake of a few important business decisions on colleagues’ opinions instead of conducting the necessary to make a wise decision. It wasn’t due to on my part; no one could ever accuse me of that. But, being to Wall Street, I intended to suppose that my more senior knew more than I did, and so I too much significance to their opinions.

You know what happened? Each of those investments ended in . Eventually I stopped allowing myself to be influenced by and began doing the work myself and making my own decisions. It took me until I was almost 30 years old to this—it’s never too late for a person to change his approach both to and to life.

Archaeology, like many academic words, comes from Greek and means, more or less, “the study of old things”. So, it is really a part of the study of history. However, most historians use paper evidence, such as letters, paintings and photographs, but archaeologists learn from the objects left behind by the humans of long ago. Normally, these are the hard materials that don't break down or disappear very quickly—things like human bones and objects made from stone and metal.

It is very unusual to find anything more than the hard evidence of history—normally, the bacteria in the air eat away at soft materials, like bodies, clothes and things made of wood. Occasionally, things are different.

In 1984, two men made an amazing discovery while working in a bog called Lindow Moss, in the north of England. A bog is a very wet area of earth, with a lot of plants growing in it. It can be like a very big and very thick vegetable soup—walk in the wrong place and you can sink and disappear forever. The men were working when one of them saw something sticking out—a human foot! Naturally, the men called the police, who then found the rest of the body. Was it a case of murder? Possibly—but it was a death nearly two thousand years old. The two men had found a body from the time of the Roman invasion of Britain. Despite being so old, this body had skin, muscles, hair and internal organs—the scientists who examined him were able to look inside the man's stomach and find the food that he had eaten for his last meal!

Why was this man so well preserved? It was because he was in a very watery environment, safe from the bacteria that need oxygen to live. Also, the water in the bog was very acidic. The acid preserved the man's skin in the way that animal skin is preserved for leather coats and shoes.

How did he die? Understandably, archaeologists and other scientists wanted to know more about the person that they called “Lindow Man”. His hands and fingernails suggested that he hadn't done heavy manual work in his life—he could have been a rich man. They found that he hadn't died by accident. The archaeologists believe that he was sacrificed to three different gods.

1.The underlined word “these” in the first paragraph refers to ________.

A．letters　　　　　　　B．photographs

C．paintings D．objects

2.Which of the following helped to preserve “Lindow Man”？

A．Ice and low temperature

B．Acid and water

C．Soil and energy

D．Bacteria and oxygen

3.According to the passage, which of the following statements is right?

A．“Lindow Man” was named after the person who first found him.

B．Historians usually use paper evidence, while archaeologists use hard evidence.

C．“Lindow Man” was found by two archaeologists in the south of England.

D．“Lindow Man” was good at work by hand.

4.Which is the best title for the passage?

A．An Amazing Archaeological Discovery

B．Archaeology and History

C．What Is Archaeology?

D．The Death of “Lindow Man”
