26、A Few Benefits of Working a Part-Time Job as a Student
Working while studying seems like a total drag, but there are many benefits of working a part-time job as a student.
●【1】. Not only can early employment help you build up long-term savings, but it also makes you financially aware from a young age, meaning you’ll have better money management skills when you’re older, avoiding falling into debt in the process!
● You gain independence.【2】. As a result, you will be less reliant on those aroundyou, and you will learn how to look after yourself. This new-found independence will also help build your character, which will be beneficial to you both while studying and in your career.
● You learn to manage your time wisely. Going to classes, working a part-time job, socializing with friends and making time for your hobbies make for a busy schedule, but juggling (尽力同时应付) so many different tasks can help you improve your time management skills.【3】, planning ahead to ensure you can fit everything into the limited time you have.
● You build your professional network. No matter where you are working, a part-time job gives you the chance to network with other people. For example, you might meet a client who’s working for your dream company.【4】, so treat every conversation as a chance to progress in your career, and always keep the door open for further discussions.
Working while studying has its advantages, but if you feel that the disadvantages outweigh the advantages, then you should consider discussing your hours with your manager or looking for an alternative part-time job.【5】, you’ll get the benefits of working as a student for years to come.
A.Once you find the right balance
B.You learn to manage your money
C.You never know who knows who

27、Nate had spent most of his seventy years in the woods. As a young man, he had the alternative of working in the city with his brother. But he decided that urban life was not for him. He preferred to isolate himself from the crowds and noise of the city and find shelter in nature. He was more than willing to give up such advantages as flush toilets and electric blankets for the joy of watching a sunrise illuminate the frozen pines.
Because Nate had lived alone for so long, his behavior was unpredictable. For example, one minute he’d be very quiet, and the next he’d talk about his youth. His knowledge of nature was extensive, and so I learned much from him through the years.
I will tell you an interesting story that shows how wise he was about the woods and how miserly (吝啬的)he could be with words. One evening Nate, my cousin Arthur, and I were crossing a grassland. Arthur’s interest in some little white mushrooms that were growing there led to this dialogue:
“These mushrooms look so good ,“ said Arthur. ”Did you ever use them, Nate?”
“Yep ,“ said Nate, “My mom used to cook them up.”
“Great!” said Arthur. Nate’s words seemed to strengthen Arthur’s desire for those mushrooms. He gathered about a hundred of them. “How did she prepare them? he asked Nate.
”Cooked them up in sugar water.“
”Really? And then you ate them that way?”
“Ate them?“ Nate was horrified. ”You crazy? We used to put them in a bowl on the table to kill flies!”
【1】Which can make Nate happier?
A.Working in the city.
B.Quitting flush toilets.
C.Using electric blankets.
D.Enjoying sunrises in the woods.
【2】Which word can best describe Nate?
A.Ambitious.
B.Brave.
C.Knowledgeable.
D.Imaginative.
【3】What do we know about the white mushrooms?
A.They were delicious.
B.Nate ate them very often.
C.They might be poisonous.
D.Arthur’s mother used to cook them.
【4】What is mainly talked about in the passage?
A.Life far from nature
B.White mushrooms
C.Nate the woodsman
D.Advantages of urban life
28、The bouquets(花束)for the Beijing 2022 Winter Olympic Games award ceremonies are quite different as they are made of wool. Wool bouquets are nothing like those made from other materials that will be easy to fade and they’re low-carbon, which reflects the concept of “green Olympics”.
Li Meili,a traditional wool-knitting(针织)expert,can still remember the exciting moment in October 2021, when she learned the wool bouquet was chosen as the final plan for the award ceremony of the Olympic Games.“At that time, I felt my dream had come true. Our design had been provided for the organizing committee for more than four months. I once thought it was hopeless,” said the 70-year-old artist.
Li began to learn the knitting technique in her fifties after retirement. She is quite familiar with all the kinds of flowers in the bouquet, but she has decided to be stricter with herself to meet the Olympic standards.“I chose thin wool. Though the speed of knitting will be slower, the bouquets will look more beautiful,” she said.
A total of 1,251 bouquets are needed for the awards of Beijing Winter Olympics and Paralympics. The bouquet consists of seven different wool flowers. Each flower was handmade, which requires plenty of time and manpower. “Take a rose for example. A weaver needs to spend at least five hours on one rose,”said Li.“Therefore, to complete making a bouquet will require around 35 hours. All the bouquets will take nearly 50,000hours to finish knitting.”
Li is responsible for personnel training, quality control and final assembly of the bouquets. To ensure the high quality of the bouquets, each knitting group is only incharge of one or two kinds of flowers. “The original bouquet was thinner. I filled the ‘branches’ into it to make it touch more comfortable,”she added.
【1】What is special about wool bouquets for the Beijing Winter Olympics?
A.They’ll never fade.
B.They’re environmentally friendly.
C.They’re designed by athletes.
D.They look more beautiful than real flowers.
【2】Which of the following can best describe Li Meili?
A.Kind and generous.
B.Brave and independent.
C.Responsible and creative.
D.Humorous and outgoing.
【3】What can be inferred about making a wool bouquet from paragraph 4?
A.It is completed by machine.
B.It mainly involves making roses.
C.It needs lots of efforts and energy.
D.It can be finished in a short time.
【4】Why is each group responsible for only one or two kinds of flowers?
A.To make weavers comfortable.
B.To pursue an excellent quality.
C.To ensure the flowers “green”.
D.To add “branches” to bouquets.
29、 A quick walk onto a frozen pond could have been a disaster for these two boys.
Cruz Genet, 11, and Anthony Skopick, 10, couldn’t agree. Were the birds out on the ice ducks or geese? There was only one way to find out. So on a cold January evening last year, the two friends walked onto the frozen pond near their homes to get a better look.
First, they threw a rock onto the ice to test it. Convinced the ice would hold their weight, Anthony took a few steps, and then he crashed through the seemingly frozen surface. “There was no sound, no crack,” he told the reporter. “I just fell through instantly.”
Cruz rushed to help his frightened friend. And the pond swallowed him, too. Cruz managed to lift himself out of the water and onto a more solid section. He then cautiously worked his way toward Anthony, but he fell in the pond again. This time, he couldn’t get out.
The boys were in icy cold water and quickly losing feeling in their limbs (四肢). Cruz was sure that he was going to die.
Anthony’s older sister had seen the boys fall through the ice and started screaming for help. John Lavin, a neighbor driving nearby on his way to the store, heard her. He quickly pulled over. Seeing the boys, he grabbed a nearby buoy(浮标), kicked off his shoes, and ran into the water. Lavin made his way to Cruz and Anthony and dragged them back to land. They were taken to hospital, where doctors discovered that their five-minute stay in the water had lowered their body temperature nearly ten degrees.
Fortunately, the boys have fully recovered, though they are still a little awestruck (敬畏的) by their fearless neighbor. “Just to think,” says Cruz, “if he hadn’t been there, I could have died.”
【1】Why did the boys go to the frozen pond?
