Best Summer Jobs for High School Students

Working during the summer when school is out of session is a great opportunity for teenagers to make money and gain valuable workplace experience.

Restaurant Server

Food and drink service jobs are plentiful. Although average base pay is poor, workers who carts tips can do well for themselves. And some national chains have the resources to pay more Starbucks employees can earn about $12 per how on average, and may qualify for a benefits package that includes health insurance.

Grocery Store Worker

Grocery store jobs are also relatively plentiful. Although most grocery employees don’t earn tips, base pay is generally above the federal minimum wage—about $12 per hour. Jobs that require workers to operate heavy machinery are inaccessible to workers under age 18. Grocery store employees typically work in shifts, with part-timers polling four to eight hours at a stretch. Peak shopping hours tend to fall on weekends and early evenings.

Tutor

If you’ve already taken and done well on standardized tests like the SAT or ACT, you can help these students and earn decent pay as a tutor. Tutor pay varies by specialty, experience, and educational attainment. Tutors who themselves are high school students or recent graduates aren’t likely to earn much more than the national average rate of S18 per hour.

Career-Track Intern(实习)

Even if you haven’t yet decided what you want your “rear” career to be, high school summers offer the perfect opportunity to test a job you think you’ll like. Summer internships are often unpaid, forcing students to consider whether the opportunity is worth the cost. That’s likely to come down to the value of the experience and the connections that could land you a higher-paying, career-track job down the road.

21. What is the feature of grocery store jobs?

A. No employees get tips.

B. They are tough to obtain.

C. They are for people aged

D. The employees do shift work.

22. What is special about Career-Track Intern?

A. It’s often done without payment.

B. It is worth the big expense.

C. It guarantees you a good career.

D. It provides you with experience.

23. Which job favors an academically excellent student?

A. Restaurant Server. B. Grocery Store Worker.

C. Career-Track Intern. D. Tutor.

B

The turn of the year is traditionally the time for reviewing one’s life, and perhaps for making some resolutions as to what to concentrate on in the coming year; and for many years past I have taken advantage of the holiday period to review my own goal and ambition.

One thing I do decide to do this year, with some unwillingness, is to give up writing the Grumpy Old Bookman column in this magazine. It’s not that I’ve lost interest in the book world, you understand. But Leonard Woolf, husband of writer Virginia Wool, used to say that a man should change his career every seven years. Though personally I would say that changing your whole career so often is going a bit far, I do find, during my own working life, that it acts as a great refresher if you can occasionally try a new job within the same organization or line of business.

It is in fact well over 15 years since our editor wrote to me and asked if I would be interested in writing a regular piece about what was, even then, a rapidly changing publishing scene. He approached me because since 2004 I had been writing a regular blog called, amazingly enough, Grumpy Old Bookman.

As my monthly survey of developments in both traditional and digital publishing continued, in this magazine, I began to realize that writers in this century, of both fiction and non-fiction, are living in something close to a paradise. Once, you struggled for years to find a publisher—or an agent if you wanted one—but now you can publish your own stuff, either digitally or in paperback, without it costing you a penny piece. Amazing.

After about five years of producing such columns, at just under a thousand words a time, it occurred to me that, rather than let these essays drift away on the seas of time, it might be of value to potential readers to publish my thoughts and comments in book form. Hence, in 2014, I published the first 69 GOB columns in paperback format, using Amazon’s Create space facilities. Title: Writers Rejoice! A monthly diary of the dawn of the digital age, which was my first trial. And now I sincerely wish a new 2022.

24．Why does the author want to give up writing the column?

A．He follows Leonard Woolf’s suggestion.

B．He is very keen on trying something new.

C．He is fed up with the career linked to books.

D．He’s used to changing his job every seven years.

25．According to the author, what can be inferred from Paragraph 4?

A．It is a blessing to live in the present times.

B．Publishing industry is a profitable business.

C．It is rather hard to publish books nowadays.

D．Now it is amazing to find a publisher easily.

26．What do you think of the author?

A．Purposeful and good at self-reflecting.

B．Dedicated but easy to doubt himself.

C．Emotional and good at controlling himself.

D．Ambitious but reluctant to change himself,

27．What does the author mainly want to tell us?

A．Giving up timely is another virtue.

B．The beginning of a year is a new start.

C．Reflection can drive us to push forward.

D．Changing the job means a new opportunity.

C

One of the interesting things about China is that they love lists. There are sorts of things through Chinese history that are in list form, such as the Four Great Beauties the Seven Warring States, and the Three Kingdoms. It should come as no surprise that there is such a thing as the Four Great Inventions.

There are literally hundreds of inventions that were originally invented in China before they were introduced anywhere else. However, the Four Great Inventions in particular stands out as having greatly changed not just Chinese civilization, but the entire world.

However, what makes the Four Great Inventions such an odd list for China is that the list was created by someone British.The Four Great Inventions was actually invented by British historian and sinologist Joseph Needham. He spent much of his life travelling in China, collecting and documenting examples of Chinese inventions and technology. He published his first book on Chinese culture in 1954 where he listed many Chinese inventions which were originally thought to be European inventions.

In the 16* century, there was a version floating around called the Three Great Inventions which contributed to the greatness of Europe, or more specifically sometimes Germany. It might have been created by English philosopher Francis Bacon: the printing press, gunpowder, and the compass.

As explorers began more frequently visiting China, they realized that all of those great inventions had been around in China for centuries before they appeared in Europe.So, as part of his work and setting the record straight, Needham created the Four Great Inventions of China, a list that has subsequently gained widespread approval from scholars in China itself.

The four great inventions are the three listed before: the printing press, gunpowder, the compass, and the other being paper-making.

28．What does paragraph 1 serve as?

A．A plot. B．A lead-in.

C．A clue. D．A conclusion.

29．What does the underlined word “sinologist” probably mean?

A．An expert studying Chinese culture.

B．A publisher trying to sell books.

C．An explorer searching for treasures.

D．A businessman trading with the Chinese.

30．What can we infer from the passage?

A．Joseph Needham published books to list Chinese landscapes.

B．Francis Bacon was the first to create the Four Great Inventions.

C．The Four Great Inventions changed Europe, especially Germany.

D．Ancient China contributed to scientific development worldwide.

31．Which of the following is a suitable title for the text?

A．Who really comes up with the Four Great Inventions?

B．How do the Four Great Inventions change the world?

C．What makes the Four Great Inventions well accepted?

D．Why are the Four Great Inventions important to Europe?

D

As a kid growing up in a suburb of London. I loved to go looking for the perfect park bench. Some Sunday mornings, my dad could be persuaded to drive to new parks. We’d have a kick-around with a soccer ball, share a bag of Dotritos and check out all the benches in the area, reading the words on them.

The good park bench leaves me in a state, somewhere between nostalgia (怀旧) and eager antic ration. Where once I was excited by the words carved on wood, I now find, as a 10-year-old, that I’m more appreciative of each bench’s quiet stoicism (坦然淡定), the way they are willing to wait out their turn in every weather, remaining available to all-comers. Like a good book or piece of music, a park bench allows for a sense of solitude (独处) and community at the same time, which is crucial to life in a great city.

Part of my recession with park benches is as spaces where history settles. By planting seeds of curiosity, and making space for reflection, park benches become doors to the past. Maybe that’s the greatest power of the park bench: its rapacity encourages the art of observation. A good bench catches us in our quietest, most vulnerable (脆弱的) moments, when we may be open to imagining new nanauves and revisiting old ones. Our masks are taken off, hung from the bench’s wrought iron. On other nearby benches, babies are being burped. Glances exchanged. Sandwiches eaten. Newspapers read it .

Lately, I’ve found me sitting on a lot of cramped metal benches of the kind that don’t invite you to linger long, or nafsirtoncicue ones that leave you cold. That’s because public seating is becoming an endangered species. Our cities are becoming more like Disneyland, which has been quietly removing public seating and replacing it with more restaurant seating. If you want a moment’s rest in 21st-century America, you have to open your wallet.

One recent Sunday, I wandered through Central Park. To be in Central Park in what is hopefully the pandemic’s twilight is to be reminded of the beauty of living in a city that still makes space for park benches in the modem cityscape.

32．How did the writer lead in the topic?

A．By describing the scene of the park.

B．By revealing his passion for London.

C．By showing his father’s affection for him.

D．By introducing his childhood experience.

33．What can we learn about the writer after he grew up?

A．He was suffering great frustration in his 40s.

B．He enjoyed the peace in the park very much.

C．He liked the feel park benches brought to him.

D．He was still crazy about the words on the bench

34．Which aspect of park benches does paragraph 3 focus on?

A．Design. B．History. C．Location. D．Power.

35．Why is public seating becoming an endangered species?

A．It is out of date. B．It is uncomfortable to sit there.

C．It is commercialized. D．It is usually made of metal.

第二节 读后续写 (满分25分)

阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。

“What a crabby-looking lady (怨妇),” the cashier at my local convenience store whispered to her coworker. I was grabbing something off the shelf. I had a half dozen kids waiting for me outside in the van, and here’s the thing: they were all my own children. No time for polite. No casual conversation with the checkout lady, no nod of approval toward the stock boy, no breathing. Just get the toilet paper, two gallons of milk and some Frosted Flakes and get back to my children!

But my interest was aroused by the crabby-looking lady. Which one was she? Taking a family pack of toilet paper under my arm, I scanned the tiny store for the crabby lady. Let’s see, there’s a middle-aged guy checking on pork, an older gentleman at the checkout purchasing an egg salad sandwich and a coffee, and... just then I saw her, the crabby-looking lady.

Her eyes were small; her brown hair was pulled back in a ponytail so tight that it looked like her forehead would drop. Her mouth was shut serious. This lady looked like she had smelled something really bad. Then, I turned away from my own reflection in the convex security mirror (安全反射镜) at the back of the store. The crabby-looking lady... was me!

That night, I cried. I was the crabby-looking lady! Me! The girl once voted nicest smile by her high school class! Things must get changed! Right then and there I resolved to do one thing over the next year. One simple resolution: to smile. I didn’t need to wait for January 1st — I would start right now.

I resolved to smile at anyone and anything, even though they would let me down. And I also resolved to make a conscious effort to smile, at least ten times a day.

注意：

1. 续写词数应为150左右；

2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。

The first day of “Mission Smile” I practiced smiling as planned.
