第一节 阅读理解（共20小题；每小题2分，满分40分）

阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项(ABCD)中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

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 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 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 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.

A. 14???????????????????????????? B. 17 C. 13????????????????????????????D. 10????

A. Kids don't need to get along with others when making money.B. Kids are encouraged to live independently in the USA.C. Earning one's money is better than asking for money from others.D. You are learning how to succeed by working in your teens.

55. From the passage we know that ________.

A. parents won't let their children earn their own moneyB. it's hard for kids under 14 years old to earn money in the USAC. kids can learn skills if they try to earn money on their own

We all know that it is possible for ordinary people to make their homes on the equator ( 赤道 ), although often they may feel uncomfortably hot there. Millions do it.
