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 paid her for these pictures. 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 in your hand that you earn will probably make you feel a lot better than the twenty dollars you ask for.21.

I must die if I am left here.”“” said the ducks. “How can we take you with us?”Finally, the ducks had a nice idea.

Over one billion(十亿)young people are at risk of hearing loss(失聪)because of listening to loud noise for long periods of time. Listening to music or watching a TV show at loud volumes is harmful to your hearing.The United Nations has standards for safe listening. It is not safe to listen to sounds that are louder than 85 decibels(dB分贝) for eight hours or 100 dB for 15 minutes. The sound of a busy road is about 85 dB and the sound of a rock concert can be about 100 dB.Loud noise is harmful to the inner ears(内耳). Most of us are born with about 16,000 hair cells(听毛细胞) in our inner ears. However, listening to loud noise for a long time can make these cells work too hard and cause some of them to die. This is what causes hearing loss.Some people might think that their music isn't all that loud. But this can depend on where you are. For example, if you are in a noisy place like the subway, you might turn up your music too loud without realising it. Later, when you listen to it at the same volume in a quiet place, you might feel uncomfortable.The World Health Organisation said the “safe level” for most sounds is below 80 dB for upto 40 hours a week. A level of 80 dB is roughly equal to(大约相当于) the noise of a subway.1.Many young people are at risk of hearing loss because they . ( )A.watch TV every dayB.listen to music every dayC.listen to loud noise in the subwayD.listen to loud noise for a long time2.What is loud noise harmful to? ( )A.The inner ears.B.The brain.C.The heart.D.The eyes.3.What can you learn from the passage? ( )A.We feel comfortable when listening to loud music in a quiet place.B.Most people are born with about 1,600 hair cells in the inner ears.C.It is not safe to listen to sounds that are louder than 85 dB for 15 minutes.D.Below 80 dB for up to 40 hours a week is the “safe level” for most sounds.4.What is the best title of the passage? ( )A.Keep the Loud VolumesB.Loud Noise Is Harmful to HearingC.The Risk of Listening to MusicD.Loud Noise Stops Ears from WorkingⅢ.语法填空阅读下面短文,在空白处填入一个适当的词,或填入括号中所给单词的正确形式。

It also meanstaking special steps to protect the environment—the water, the land, and the air we breathe. Why green? Plants are green, and without them the earth wouldn’t be such a lovely home for us human beings.Sometimes people call ours a“throw away society”. That means we a re always throwing away old things and buying new ones. Many times, if you no longer need something, someone else just might need it. For example, if your brother is old enough not to play with his plastic bike, why not give it to another family who has a little kid so that they don’t need to buy one? And one less large plastic toy doesn’t need to be produced.Recycling(回收利用)has never been easier. Many organizations will pick it up right in front of your house and some towns even require(要求)it. Tell your mom or dad you want to become“Chief of Recycling”for your family. Now that you know what things you can recycle, find a place to keep them. Make sure you encourage everyone in your house to think whether things can be reused or recycled before they’re thrown away.Almost everyone likes traveling. But next time before you travel around the world, take a look at your own backyard. Is there a place where you could plant a tree or put in a little fruit or vegetable garden?

He said laughing was very useful and it was the best “medicine”.Another man, Simon Beck, was also ill, and he had a serious pain in his back.

Polar bears are a good example. They have thick fat under their skin(皮毛), which helps them to stay warm when they swim in freezing water. Not only this, but it’s very difficult for other animals to see them in the snow because they have completely white hair. They can easily run up to other animals and fight with their huge body.Another amazing animal is the ptarmigan(雷鸟), the Arctic bird. It is also white, which helps it hide in the snow. However, when the snow disappears, the bird changes its color. It turns grey from head to tail to fit(适应) the rocky environment.Plants have adapted, too. The bee orchid(蜜蜂兰) looks exactly like it has a real bee resting on its flower. The “bee” is actually part of the flower. It’s nature’s way of attracting real bees to the orchid.Here is another amazing plant. At first, you might think that this is a leaf.
