三、阅读理解（共10小题；每小题3分，满分30分）

A

    If you live in the United States, the law says you can't have a full-time job until you are 16 years old. At 14 0r 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 make 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 neighbours, 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 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.

    A. 16                 B. 14                 C. 13                 D. 10

    B. Kids are encouraged to live independently in the USA.

    C. Earning one s money is better than asking for money from others.

    D. Kids don't need to get along with others when making money.

B

    The bank of England is making plans to introduce plastic banknotes to the UK.

    Paper notes, meaning pieces of paper money, have been used in England for more than 300 years, but replacing them with plastic ones could be better.

    Plastic notes were first introduced to Australia back in 1988. Since then other countries, including Romania, Vietnam, Mexico and Malaysia, have also begun using money made in this way.

    Fans of water sports, such as surfing, find this type of money more useful and Easier, as they can take it with them in the water and won't worry that it will fall apart. It is also good for people who by mistake put clothes in the washing machine with a note in the pocket !

    It is more hygienic (clean and free of bacteria) than paper money as it absorbs less bacteria(the simplest and smallest form of plants, some of which cause disease). And it is stronger. This means it lasts longer. According to a survey, a usual 5 note in the UK lasts around six months, while the $ 5 Australian bill lasts for an average of 40 months.

    A downside of plastic cash is that it costs more money to produce. Cash and money- counting machines will also have to be adapted to accept the new money.

    It is expected that the Bank of England, who hopes to start printing plastic notes from 2015, will introduce the money slowly, using the most common notes first.

(    )5. Which country was the first to use plastic notes?

    A. The UK.    B. Romania.   C. Vietnam.   D. Australia.

(    )6. You can put the sentence 'Besides being waterproof, there are other good effects of using plastic notes instead of paper ones. ' at the beginning of_______.

    A. Paragraph 3   B. Paragraph 4   C. Paragraph 5   D. Paragraph 6

(    )7. Which is NOT the reason why the UK wants to use plastic notes instead of paper ones?

    A. They take up less space.          B. They are stronger.

    C. They don't let water through.   D. They are more hygienic.

C

    You want to know about my staying in America, right? Well, to tell you the truth, it is really an eye-opening experience to study here.

    In China, I had English classes five times a week since fifth grade. However, I didn't know how different textbook English could be from everyday English until I came to Hotchkiss School, Connecticut.

    When I first studied English, I was told to say, 'I am fine. ' when people say 'How are you?' But in the US, I found that people say, 'I am good' or 'I'm tired'.

    One day, someone greeted me with 'What's up?' It made me confused. I thought for a moment and then smiled because I didn't know what to say. Since then, I have discovered more and more differences between Chinese and US cultures.

    To my surprise, US girls spend a lot of time in the burning sun to get a tan(晒黑). However, in China, girls try every possible way to get their skin paler, or 'whiter'.

    I was also surprised by how hardworking US students are. In China, schoolwork is almost everything, so we study hard and that's it. But here, a 'good' student gets good grades, does a lot for the public and plays sports or music.

    The kids here are so talented, I am starting to be sorry that I gave up playing the piano at an early age and that I have never thought about sports.

(    )8. What does the word 'confused' in the fourth paragraph mean in Chinese?

    A．困惑            B．憧憬            C．悲痛            D．后悔

(    )9.A good US student spends his or her time_______.

    A. only in doing homework

    B. on studies, sports or music and public work

    C. only in working for the public

    D. only on sports or music

(    )10. Which of the following is NOT true?

    A. The writer is now in US.

    B. American girls love to have white skin.

    C. US students are talented and hard working.

D. The writer regrets that he gave up playing the piano.

Everybody makes decisions in daily life. They can be as important as what you will do in the future or as simple as what you will eat for breakfast. Any decision could be the turning point of your life.

I made an important decision when I was in Junior 3.

Before I made that decision I was one of the boys who tried too hard to act as an adult. I didn’t know that only kids want to show themselves as adults.

I didn’t listen to my parents and teachers, and my grades became poor. Then came the high school entrance exam.

At the turning point of my life, my mom wanted to have a conversation with me. I wanted to turn it down but when I looked at her eyes, I felt I couldn’t refuse. Instead of asking me to study hard, to my surprise, Mom just asked what I wanted to do in the future. Without thinking too much, I just said I would like to study hard.

Mom smiled and asked again: “I asked: what do you WANT to do?”

I never seriously thought about the question. So, I kept silent.

“Whether you want to go on studying or enter the society,” she went on, “it is your own decision. Your life ought to be decided by you, not by anyone else, including me. ” After saying that, she had tears in her eyes.

For the first time in my life I was asked to make my own decision. I sat in my chair and thought about myself, my life and what kind of person I wanted to become.

It took me what seemed to be ages to make the biggest decision so far in my life—I wanted to be a man who makes a difference in the world. To achieve that, I needed to study hard.

The path to my future became clear to me. I didn’t act rebelliously(叛逆地) any more. With passion (激情) in my heart, I studied hard.

Now, I’m 17 and I’m in one of the best schools in my city, in one of the best classes at the school and I am one of the best students in the class.

Thanks to that decision, I have become what I am today.

(    )11．When did the writer make the important decision?

       A．After he was 17 years old.                B．After he was in one of the best classes.

       C．When he was a pupil.                    D．When he was studying in Junior 3.

(    )12．What was the writer like before the decision?

       A．His grades became poor.

       B．He tried too hard not to act as an adult.

       C．He was one of the top students in his class.

       D．He did what his teachers and his parents asked him to do.

(    )13．How did the writer make the decision?

       A．It was easy for him to make the decision.

       B．It was his second time to make the decision.

       C．He made the decision seriously.

       D．It was his mother that made the decision for him.

(    )14．Why did the writer make the decision?

       A．Because his teacher talked with him patiently.

       B．Because he didn’t want to act rebelliously any more.

       C．Because his mother asked him to study hard as usual.

       D．Because his father asked him to think about his future by himself.

(    )15．Which of the following is TRUE?

       A．The writer made the decision that he should work hard.

       B．It took the writer several years to make the decision.

       C．After hearing his mother’s words, the writer had tears in his eyes.

       D．At the turning point of his life, the writer wanted to have a conversation with his mother.
