1、 1. You are sometimes very busy with study, homework and other activities. But there's one thing that American teens over 14 may add to their list: part-time jobs in summer. 2. 人们想知道他们(这些年轻人)对于兼职的想法。Many teens may feel relaxed when they have part-time jobs. Some want to make money for their tuition (学费).
But why do teens do this? Some might want to save money for something big, like buying their own car. 3. Others want to save money because their parents may not afford their tuition. But lately, a lot fewer teens are getting summer jobs. From around 1970-1990, about 50 percent of teens had at least a summer job. But today, only about one third of teens can find summer work.
4. 有兼职对于一个美国年轻人来说是非常不错的。5. They get an idea of what the real world is like, and it will help them get a full-time job later in life.

25、Hanukkah (光明节), the annual (每年的) Festival of Lights, is celebrated with zeal (热情) by the Jewish people around the world. They celebrate the holiday with the lighting of the menorah (多连灯烛台) , traditional foods, games and gifts. Hanukkah is a Jewish festival.It falls on the 25th day of the Jewish month of Kiskv (犹太教历), which is usually sometime in December. The festival celebrates the time, over 2,000 years ago,when the Jewish people fought against an emperor who would not let them follow their own traditions and religion (宗教) . When the Jewish people won back their temple in Jerusalem(耶路撒冷), they found there was only enough holy(神圣的) oil to keep the sacred light (神圣之灯) burning for one day. However, to their surprise, this small amount of oil kept the light burning for eight days and nights, until the people had time to make more oil.
At the center of the Hanukkah celebrations is a candle stick (called a Menorah) that holds nine candles. On the first night of Hanukkah the first candle is lit, and each day this candle is used to light another candle, until on the eighth day, the last day, all the candles are lit. During Hanukkah, people go to the synagogue (犹太教堂) to pray and to remember the miracle (奇迹) of the holy oil. Hanukkah is a time for family and friends to come together. People exchange gifts and greeting cards, and children go to parties. Parents often give their children money at Hanukkah. Potato cakes, called latkes, are a traditional Hanukkah food.

26、 Funny action, Chinese kung fu, and the Monkey King: If you want to re-experience the adventures of Journey to the West, then Unruly Heroes, a 2D action game by Magic Design Studios (MDS) in France, is for you. The game is an example where international talent meets traditional Chinese culture.
“Creating a game based on the novel, Journey to the West, has actually been my dream since I entered this profession,” said Lu Yang, CEO and creative director of MDS. “It is a very dramatic tale set in a big, imaginary world. Every character is described vividly.”
“Everyone in China knows the story, but in European countries or the US, few people know about Journey to the West. I think such a fascinating story should be introduced to more people,” he said.
Released in January, Unruly Heroes has received an 80 percent positive reaction on STEAM. The game features a unique story and cast of characters, where players can alternate between four characters: Wukong, Sanzang, Kihong and Sandmonk.
The creative team combines many Chinese cultural elements with the art design, building an immersive world of art, animation and a taste of Chinese folk music. “Our goal is to introduce Journey to the West to the world, and be accepted by players from different cultural backgrounds,” Lu said.
Set against lush (华丽的) environments and a hand-drawn art style, Unruly Heroes updates the Journey to the West classic tale into an adventure that is more colorful, humorous and attractive to people in modern times. As Lu introduced, the game differed a lot compared with the original story. “For example, we reimagined White Bone Spirit as the owner of a beauty salon, so players need to destroy her mask to defeat her.”
Lu believes that Chinese culture has strong potential to reach a broader audience, but it needs the efforts of more companies and creative minds.
“We can add Chinese cultural elements into products that are acce ssible to people around the world. Video games, film and TV series, and other cultural and entertainment products resonate (共鸣) easily internationally,” he said.
“I am not a scholar; I simply want to do what I can to present a story I love to more people far and wide,” Lu added.
【1】The writer mentions the example of White Bone Spirit in order to________.
A.explain why Unruly Heroes changes the story in Journey to the West
B.compare the story in Unruly Heroes with that in Journey to the West
C.show how Unruly Heroes modernize the story in Journey to the West
D.criticize Unruly Heroes for changing the story in Journey to the West
【2】The word accessible to in Paragraph 8 means________.
A.likely to interest B.easy to reach C.possible to upset D.hard to attract
【3】What can we learn from the passage?
A.Journey to the West is widely known and accepted in Europe and the United States.
B.Many traditional Chinese stories need changing as their characters are not vivid enough.
C.With more creativity, Chinese culture will be accepted by more people around the world.
D.Unruly Heroes avoids Chinese cultural elements to attract players from different countries.
【4】What’s the best title of the passage?
A.Unruly Heroes: A Tale that Continues to Develop
B.Unruly Heroes: A Method that Makes a Difference
C.Unruly Heroes: An Effort that Creates Traditional Culture
D.Unruly Heroes: A Game that Takes Chinese Culture Abroad
