题文

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 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. 小题1:Kids can have full-time jobs at the age of _________ in the USA.

题型：阅读理解  难度：偏易

答案

小题1:A 小题2:D 小题3:B 小题4:D 小题5:C

试题分析：如果你生活在美国，法律直到你16岁规定你才能有一个全职工作。在14或15，你可以课后或周末兼职的工作，并在夏季可以每周工作40小时。这意味着，如果你超过14岁，你不能赚得自己的钱？当然不。孩子们的年龄在10和13之间可以做的事情，赚许多钱。同时列举了几个孩子的挣钱过程，通过打工挣自己的钱，你正在学习的技巧，你需要成功的生活。这些技能可以包括与他人相处，使用技术（技术）和使用你的时间。有些人认为要求资金比赚钱更容易；但是，当你把自己的钱，你不需要依赖别人。你赚的五美元可能会让你感觉在你的手有二十美元。 小题1:细节理解题。分析：美国的孩子们多在时能正式找工作？原文：If you live in the United States, the law says you can’t have a full-time job until you are 16 years old.句意：如果你生活在美国，法律规定直到你16岁才能有一个全职工作。选项中的年龄只有17岁符合。故选 A。 小题2:细节理解题。问题：如果你是十五岁，你在什么时间不能去工作？原文：At 14 or 15, you can work part-time after school or on weekends, and during summer you can work 40 hours each week.句意：在14或15，你可以课后或周末兼职的工作，并在夏季可以每周工作40小时。分析也表明在上学期间不可，只能在业余时间可以进行工作。故选D。 小题3:细节理解题。问题：Reisa以什么方式挣到钱了？原文：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.句意：Reisa说她开始以艺术类和展示她的工作给人们。人们让她为他们画画并且为此付钱。所以说是为别人画画来挣钱。故选 B。 小题4:细节理解题。分析问题，通过阅读短文下面的描述，哪句是错误的。了解四句话中只有第四选项是不正确的，从短文中体现了当学会如何挣钱也就更会与他人友好相处。故选D。 小题5:细节理解题。分析通过这个短文，我们知道了什么？在结束阅读中我们知道如果孩子们学会挣钱也就学会了技术。故选C。
