Part-time jobs for 15 and 16 years olds
Waiter / Waitress
A job as a waiter or waitress is a good choice for 16-year-olds. Not only can one earn $9-$12 an hour, but they can also get the tips (小费). Most people that visit a restaurant don’t just have good food. They come here to relax and have a good time. Besides serving food quickly, a young waiter who talks to them politely with a smile on his face will make the diners enjoy their time at the restaurant.
Work in a library
If one is fond of books, working in a library is another suitable choice. Besides the pay is good, it offers a lot of free time when students can actually sit down and finish their homework. So on returning home, they would have time to hang around with friends or just relax. So working in a library is an excellent part-time job for teens, especially for school students.
Internet jobs
There are many ways of making money through online jobs like clicking on advertisements, visiting sites and signing up with them. However, such online jobs don’t pay well. A better Internet job for teens is to complete online surveys. These are quite simple surveys that usually ask one about his/ her opinions and ideas. Many companies use these ideas to make products designed for teenagers.

核心考点
试题【Part-time jobs for 15 and 16 years oldsWaiter / WaitressA job as a waiter or wai】;主要考察你对题材分类等知识点的理解。[详细]
举一反三
In ancient Egypt,the pharaoh(法老)treated the poor message runner like a prince when he arrived at the palace, if he brought good news. However,if the exhausted runner had the misfortune to bring the pharaoh unhappy news,his head was cut off.
Shades of that spirit spread over today"s conversations. Once a friend and I packed up some peanut butter and sandwiches for an outing. As we walked light-heartedly out of the door,picnic basket in hand,a smiling neighbor looked up at the sky and said,"Oh boy,bad day for a picnic. The weatherman says it"s going to rain." I wanted to strike him on the face with the peanut butter and sandwiches. Not for his stupid weather report,for his smile.
Several months ago I was racing to catch a bus. As I breathlessly put my handful of cash across the Greyhound counter,the sales agent said with a broad smile,"Oh that bus left five minutes ago." Dreams of head-cutting!
It’s not the news that makes someone angry. It’s the unsym pathetic attitude with which it’s delivered(递送). Everyone must give bad news from time to time, and winning professionals do it with the proper attitude. A doctor advising a patient that she needs an operation does it in a caring way . A boss informing an employee he didn’t get the job takes on a sympathetic tone. Big winners know, when delivering any bad news, they should share the feeling fo the receiver.
Unfortunately,many people are not aware of this. When you"re tired from a long flight,has a hotel clerk cheerfully said that your room isn"t ready yet?When you had your heart set on the toast beef,has your waiter merrily told you that he just served the last piece?It makes you as traveler or diner want to land your fist right on their unsympathetic faces.
Had my neighbor told me of the upcoming rainstorm with sympathy(同情),I would have appreciated his warning. Had the Greyhound salesclerk sympathetically informed me that my bus had already left,I probably would have said,"Oh,that"s all right I"ll catch the next one." Big winners,when they bear bad news,deliver bombs with the emotion the bombarded(被轰炸的)person is sure to have.

Living in a modern society has its advantages and disadvantages. One disadvantage is that you often have to live closer to other people than you would like to. Sometimes, your neighbors make a  noise that you are not comfortable with.
The best way to solve this problem is to talk with your neighbor first. You should be very polite and ask your neighbor if he knows how thin the walls of your homes are. This way doesn’t criticize (批评) his behavior(行为); it simply points out that he may not realize how far his sound travels. Tell him that you know that sometimes you make noise as well, but that you do your best to keep it down. Often this will solve the problem right away, but sometimes the neighbor may become angry.
If your neighbor becomes angry with you, there are some more steps you can take. You might write a letter to the neighborhood committee. Make sure you write down the source of the noise and the time in the letter. They will review the situation and decide whether your neighbor is out of line. Some noise is considered to be reasonable, even if it bothers you. So you may prepare a good pair of earplugs (耳塞).
Even if your neighbor makes too much noise, you don’t have to live your life in discomfort. It’s always a good idea to be friendly with your neighbors. You may clean the rubbish in front of his door. He’s sure to appreciate behavior like this and be more open to your suggestions about noise level.
小题1:What is the first step to deal with the noisy neighbor?
A.To buy a good pair of earplugs

Advertising gives useful information about which products to buy. But modern advertising does more than gives news about products and services. Today’s advertisements, or ads, try to get consumers to buy certain brands. Writers of advertising are so skillful that they can, sometimes persuade a consumer to wear a certain kind of clothing, eat a special kind of cereal, or see a movie. Consumers might never even want a product if they did not see or hear advertisements for it.
  For example, you probab1y do not need the newest cereal in the supermarket. There are probably many cereal brands on your kitchen shelves. You may not have space on a shelf for another. But if you see ads about a new cereal that is your extra-tasty and has a free prize in the box, you may want it.
Advertising must get attention. To be effective, it must be exciting, entertaining, or provide some pleasure. The secret of writing good advertising copy is to offer a good idea as well as a product. The idea is what the ad is really selling. One example is an ad that says eating a certain cereal will make a person do well in sports. That cereal brand may sell better if consumers think it offers strength and energy.
小题1:What is discussed in this passage?
A.The content of modern advertising.  
B.The skills of modern advertising.
C.The results of modern advertising.  
D.The writing of modern advertising.
小题2:According to the passage, a good advertisement should     ____________.
A.be both persuasive and effective 
B.give people useful information
C.show people a product  
D.show people a new idea of a product
小题3:From the passage, we know that ___________________ .
A.modern advertising has less effect on customers   
B.once customers see ads about a new cerea1, they are sure to buy it
C.cereal can make people strong
D.cereal is a kind of food which is popular among people
小题4: What can we infer from the passage?
A.Customers can easily be persuaded by advertisements.
B.Customers should be persuaded by advertisements.
C.It’s impossible for customers to buy a product without advertisements.
D.Customers buy products according to their demands rather than the advertisements.
