Low-cost business ideas for teens
The vast majority of young people want to own a business someday. The good news is your teen can start a small business at any age. Here are a few businesses that almost any teen could start with little or no cost.
Graphic Designing (平面设计)
The Internet has opened up possibilities for any aged artist to create and sell drawings. Teens can use various software programs to create images and there are many websites where teens can introduce their creations and offer their services.
Babysitting
Babysitting is a common part-time job for young workers. Teens should learn basic first aid skills and possess skills working with children. Teens who receive high recommendations from parents are likely to be in high demand, which can allow them to increase their pay.
Blogging
Blogging isn’t an easy way to make money, but many people have created highly successful blogs that allow them to earn money with advertising space. However, your teen should understand that it isn’t an easy way to get rich, and it can take a lot of work to get a blog started.
Reselling
A teen who is good at bargain shopping may find success by buying and reselling items. Plenty of people earn a living by shopping at their local second-hand shop and then selling the items on auction (拍卖) sites, like eBay. Clearly, your teen will need a little start-up money.

McMaster student Lianna Genovese, who invented a device called Guided Hands that allows people with limited hand movement to draw, write and paint, has been chosen as Canada’s national winner of the 2021 James Dyson Award.
Genovese was only 18 years old when she created the first version of the aided device in a course that introduces students to engineering design in the biomedical engineering fields. As part of the design projects for that first-year course, students worked with customers in the community. Genovese met Elissa, a woman living with dystopia. “Elissa mentioned that she had a hard time doing the buttons on her shirt, a hard time writing, but one thing that really stood out to me was that she had a really difficult time painting and that she was a talented painter,” Genovese said. “I wanted to help give her back her passion and improve her quality of life.”
Genovese said she saw a way that a device could assist. Her design was made on the principle of a 3D printer with a person’s hand as the nozzle (喷嘴). The device’s unique sliding mechanical device guides hand movements in all directions when the user grasps a handpiece (手持件) tailored to their level of hand impairment (损伤). The handpiece can hold a variety of writing tools such as pens, pencils, paintbrushes, markers, etc. Genovese had a list of people testing the first few versions. Finally. she found one that worked. “Elissa loved it and she was able to paint again,” she said.
“Then I visited every single hospital, clinic, nursing home and retirement home in my city, and introduced it to over 150 patients and doctors,” Genovese said. One girl named Bella, who suffered cerebral palsy, tried the device out. “As soon as she began painting, the widest smile spread across her face. She turned to her mom and said, ‘Mom, I want one.’ At that moment, I realized this is an invention that can change the lives of so many people,” Genovese said.
4. What did Genovese want to do after she met Elissa
A. Learn drawing from Elissa. B. Develop a cure for Elissa’s disease.
C. Find a way for Elissa to draw again. D. Recommend a suitable course for Elissa.
5. What do we know about Genovese’s invention from Paragraph 3
A. It has a couple of nozzles. B. It is a small-sized 3D printer.
C. It is a cure for rare diseases. D. It has a customer-made handpiece.
6. How did Genovese feel about Bella’s words
A. Encouraged. B. Confused. C. Curious. D. Sympathetic.
7. What can be the best title for the text
A. McMaster student lends a hand to those with hand impairment
B. McMaster student is born to be a business-minded person
C. McMaster student transforms passion into profession
D. McMaster student gives inspiration to inventors
C
Driving and flying are huge contributors to carbon emissions (排放) and climate change. So Google is helping users make more wise decisions about how they travel. In addition to showing drivers the fastest way to get to their destination, Google Maps will now show the route that’s the most fuel-efficient.
To provide the new feature, Google used data from the National Renewable Energy Laboratory, which estimates that eco-friendly routing has the potential to prevent more than one million tons of carbon emissions from entering the atmosphere per year. That’s equal to removing 200,000 cars from the road, Google claims.
On the Google Maps app, the most fuel-efficient route will be displayed with a small green leaf next to it. The route option will include information about how long the trip will take and how much fuel the driver could save.
It’s no secret that biking is a more eco-friendly travel option than driving, and the use of biking directions on Maps has increased by as much as 98% over the past year, according to Google. The tech company is focusing on attracting bike riders with a new feature called “lite navigation (导航)”. This feature is being introduced after Google heard from cyclists who were sick of following turn-by-turn directions on their phones. Cyclists don’t look at their phones for most of the ride, after all. With lite navigation, bike riders will be able to see details about their route without needing to keep their screen on or follow turn-by-turn navigation. Cyclists will also be able to track their trip progress and see their ETA (estimated time of arrival) updated in real time.
Moreover, Google Flights users will be able to see carbon emission estimates for nearly every flight in the search results. The estimates are “flight-specific” and “seat-specific”, Google said. “Newer aircraft are generally less polluting than older pared with economy-class seats, emissions increase for first-class seats because they take up more space and account for a larger share of total emissions,” Google added.
8 What do the data in paragraph 2 show
A. The seriousness of climate change. B. The potential of using renewable energy.
C. The significance of Google’s new feature. D. The necessity of removing cars from the road.
9. What does a green leaf on Google Maps indicate
A. The most eco-friendly route. B. The most beautiful route.
C. The most chosen route. D. The shortest route.
10. What do we know about lite navigation
A. It informs bikers of their speed in real time.
B. It can work with the phone’s screen off.
C. It receives favorable reviews from 98% of bikers.
D. It encourages bikers to follow turn-by-turn directions.
11. Who may contribute the most carbon emissions
A. Economy-class passengers on new planes. B. Economy-class passengers on old planes.
C First-class passengers on new planes. D. First-class passengers on old planes.
D
On paper, Joyxee Island sounds like an attractive vacation accommodation. Located in Isla Mujeres Bay, a short distance from the Mexican Caribbean hot spot of Cancun, this private island features swimming ponds, Internet access, a fully functioning bathroom, a rainwater collection system, private beach space, solar power, a three-story home and a total area of 750 square meters.
The island, owned by British artist Richart Sowa, isn’t an island at all, at least not in the typical sense. Joyxee is floating (漂浮) on a man-made base of about 150,000 air-filled bottles held inside large nets. This floating bottom layer is covered with sand and soil. The roots from the island’s mangrove (红树林植物) forest have grown through these nets, providing natural structural strength. Creating this island has been a long process. Joyxee began as a small raft, but has grown into a space that’s large enough to allow Sowa to live a mostly self-sufficient lifestyle.
Joyxee is not Sowa’s first try at a plastic-bottle island. Sowa built Spiral Island on Mexico’s Caribbean coast in the late 1990s. Spiral did not survive Hurricane Emily, though, which struck the Caribbean in 2005. Fortunately, some of the bottle-filled nets were preserved. Sowa used these re-recycled bottles to start Joyxee with the help of local environmentalists who wanted to support his eco-island idea. He decided to place it inside a lagoon (濒海湖) in Isla Mujeres Bay to protect Joyxee from suffering the same misfortune as Spiral Island.
While the media have covered the island as a novelty, Sowa’s statements on his website show that he thinks that his island constructions could be the start of something bigger. “Environmentally, the island is an example of a wind-, solar- and wave-powered living space. Furthermore, the mangroves can clean the air by absorbing CO2. And because such islands are floating, they would not be affected by rising sea levels, flooding or other disasters.” Sowa welcomes guests to Joyxee and also offers tours. For tours, including a return trip to the shore, he requests a “donation of S5 or more.”
12. What do we know about Joyxee
A. It offers good living facilities. B. It was designed by volunteers.
C. It was built within a short period. D. It borders the Mexican city of Cancun.
13. What role does Joyxee’s mangrove forest play
A. Adjust the temperatures of the island.
B. Serve as the islanders’ food sources.
C. Provide structural support for the island.
D. Act as the island’s rainwater collection system.
14. What does the underlined part “the same misfortune” in paragraph 3 refer to
A. Being destroyed by a hurricane. B. Being short of bottle-filled nets.
C. Being criticized by environmentalists. D. Being separated from land by a lagoon.
15. Why does Sowa make the statements on his website
A To attract more artists. B. To show off his island.
C. To promote the eco-island idea. D. To draw the media’s attention.

47. 阅读下面材料,，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使其构成一篇完整的短文。
Most boys coming to our ranch (大牧场) were living around animals for the first time. Sent by educational systems, they were boys in trouble; they had no family, lacked love, often broke the rules, and were lonely. Our ranch created a “boy-horse communication program” for them, hoping to heal their broken spirits and help them behave well through their communication with horses. I was the program’s head.
15-year-old Martin was a new arrival. He appeared cold and easily angry and had no experience with horses. He seemed to consider a horse only a vehicle for speed and thrills. He always pushed his way to the front of the line every day, knocking down smaller children to get on the horse. And then he started moving fast. We tried to communicate with him, but he only cared about his excitement.
One morning, when I was upset about Martin’s behavior in my office, one worker told me that a female horse was ill. Then, I ran to its stable (马), and within an hour she was dead. We felt sad about her and also concerned about the young baby she had recently delivered (分娩). The baby horse’s first need was to be fed.
We prepared some milk in a bottle and offered it to her. But she wouldn’t accept the bottle. We had to put our hands in the milk and let her suck (吮吸) the milk off our fingers. It was a painfully slow method of feeding, but we had no choice if we wanted the baby horse to survive.
At that moment, Martin finished his daily riding and found us. Pushing his way through the crowd of kids who were watching us feed the baby horse, he got to the front, shouting, “I want to feed it!”
After I showed Martin how to do it, he put his hand in the milk and then put his fingers towards the horse’s mouth. When the baby horse closed her mouth around his fingers, Martin was surprised and drew back, shouting, “Hey, it bit me!” But knowing the little horse wanted more food, he immediately re-wet his hand.
注意：
1. 续写词数应为150词左右；
2. 请在答题卡相应位置作答。
And he gently put his fingers near her mouth.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Watching the horse sleep, Martin cried, “I’ll be her mom and care for her.”

And as with any business,there’s some risk involved because the items may not sell for more money.(一个善于买便宜货的青少年可能会通过购买和转售物品而获得成功。许多人通过在当地的二手商店购物，然后在eBay等拍卖网站上出售这些物品来谋生。显然，你的孩子需要一些启动资金。与任何业务一样，这其中也存在一些风险，因为这些商品可能卖不出更多的钱。)”可知，转卖东西有一些风险，因为你买回来的物品可能卖不了更多的钱，即你可能会亏本出售物品。故选D。
B
McMaster student Lianna Genovese, who invented a device called Guided Hands that allows people with limited hand movement to draw, write and paint, has been chosen as Canada’s national winner of the 2021 James Dyson Award.
Genovese was only 18 years old when she created the first version of the aided device in a course that introduces students to engineering design in the biomedical engineering fields. As part of the design projects for that first-year course, students worked with customers in the community. Genovese met Elissa, a woman living with dystopia. “Elissa mentioned that she had a hard time doing the buttons on her shirt, a hard time writing, but one thing that really stood out to me was that she had a really difficult time painting and that she was a talented painter,” Genovese said. “I wanted to help give her back her passion and improve her quality of life.”
Genovese said she saw a way that a device could assist. Her design was made on the principle of a 3D printer, with a person’s hand as the nozzle (喷嘴). The device’s unique sliding mechanical device guides hand movements in all directions when the user grasps a handpiece (手持件) tailored to their level of hand impairment (损伤). The handpiece can hold a variety of writing tools such as pens, pencils, paintbrushes, markers, etc. Genovese had a list of people testing the first few versions. Finally. she found one that worked. “Elissa loved it and she was able to paint again,” she said.
“Then I visited every single hospital, clinic, nursing home and retirement home in my city, and introduced it to over 150 patients and doctors,” Genovese said. One girl named Bella, who suffered cerebral palsy, tried the device out. “As soon as she began painting, the widest smile spread across her face. She turned to her mom and said, ‘Mom, I want one.’ At that moment, I realized this is an invention that can change the lives of so many people,” Genovese said.
4. What did Genovese want to do after she met Elissa
A. Learn drawing from Elissa. B. Develop a cure for Elissa’s disease.
C. Find a way for Elissa to draw again. D. Recommend a suitable course for Elissa.
5. What do we know about Genovese’s invention from Paragraph 3
A. It has a couple of nozzles. B. It is a small-sized 3D printer.
C. It is a cure for rare diseases. D. It has a customer-made handpiece.
6. How did Genovese feel about Bella’s words
A. Encouraged. B. Confused. C. Curious. D. Sympathetic.
7. What can be the best title for the text
A. McMaster student lends a hand to those with hand impairment
B. McMaster student is born to be a business-minded person
C. McMaster student transforms passion into profession
D. McMaster student gives inspiration to inventors
【答案】4. C 5. D 6. A 7. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道。主要介绍的是加拿大麦克马斯特大学的学生Lianna Genovese设计了一款辅助手帮助那些手部受损的人士绘画写字。

Driving and flying are huge contributors to carbon emissions (排放) and climate change. So Google is helping users make more wise decisions about how they travel. In addition to showing drivers the fastest way to get to their destination, Google Maps will now show the route that’s the most fuel-efficient.
To provide the new feature, Google used data from the National Renewable Energy Laboratory, which estimates that eco-friendly routing has the potential to prevent more than one million tons of carbon emissions from entering the atmosphere per year. That’s equal to removing 200,000 cars from the road, Google claims.
On the Google Maps app, the most fuel-efficient route will be displayed with a small green leaf next to it. The route option will include information about how long the trip will take and how much fuel the driver could save.
It’s no secret that biking is a more eco-friendly travel option than driving, and the use of biking directions on Maps has increased by as much as 98% over the past year, according to Google. The tech company is focusing on attracting bike riders with a new feature called “lite navigation (导航)”. This feature is being introduced after Google heard from cyclists who were sick of following turn-by-turn directions on their phones. Cyclists don’t look at their phones for most of the ride, after all. With lite navigation, bike riders will be able to see details about their route without needing to keep their screen on or follow turn-by-turn navigation. Cyclists will also be able to track their trip progress and see their ETA (estimated time of arrival) updated in real time.
Moreover, Google Flights users will be able to see carbon emission estimates for nearly every flight in the search results. The estimates are “flight-specific” and “seat-specific”, Google said. “Newer aircraft are generally less polluting than older pared with economy-class seats, emissions increase for first-class seats because they take up more space and account for a larger share of total emissions,” Google added.
8. What do the data in paragraph 2 show
A. The seriousness of climate change. B. The potential of using renewable energy.
C. The significance of Google’s new feature. D. The necessity of removing cars from the road.
9. What does a green leaf on Google Maps indicate
A. The most eco-friendly route. B. The most beautiful route.
C. The most chosen route. D. The shortest route.
10. What do we know about lite navigation
A. It informs bikers of their speed in real time.
B. It can work with the phone’s screen off.
C. It receives favorable reviews from 98% of bikers.
D. It encourages bikers to follow turn-by-turn directions.
11. Who may contribute the most carbon emissions
A. Economy-class passengers on new planes. B. Economy-class passengers on old planes.
C. First-class passengers on new planes. D. First-class passengers on old planes.
【答案】8. C 9. A 10. B 11. D
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了谷歌地图的新功能，旨在给出最佳省油路线，从而减少碳排放保护环境。
【8题详解】

On paper, Joyxee Island sounds like an attractive vacation accommodation. Located in Isla Mujeres Bay, a short distance from the Mexican Caribbean hot spot of Cancun, this private island features swimming ponds, Internet access, a fully functioning bathroom, a rainwater collection system, private beach space, solar power, a three-story home and a total area of 750 square meters.
The island, owned by British artist Richart Sowa, isn’t an island at all, at least not in the typical sense. Joyxee is floating (漂浮) on a man-made base of about 150,000 air-filled bottles held inside large nets. This floating bottom layer is covered with sand and soil. The roots from the island’s mangrove (红树林植物) forest have grown through these nets, providing natural structural strength. Creating this island has been a long process. Joyxee began as a small raft, but has grown into a space that’s large enough to allow Sowa to live a mostly self-sufficient lifestyle.
Joyxee is not Sowa’s first try at a plastic-bottle island. Sowa built Spiral Island on Mexico’s Caribbean coast in the late 1990s. Spiral did not survive Hurricane Emily, though, which struck the Caribbean in 2005. Fortunately, some of the bottle-filled nets were preserved. Sowa used these re-recycled bottles to start Joyxee with the help of local environmentalists who wanted to support his eco-island idea. He decided to place it inside a lagoon (濒海湖) in Isla Mujeres Bay to protect Joyxee from suffering the same misfortune as Spiral Island.
While the media have covered the island as a novelty, Sowa’s statements on his website show that he thinks that his island constructions could be the start of something bigger. “Environmentally, the island is an example of a wind-, solar- and wave-powered living space. Furthermore, the mangroves can clean the air by absorbing CO2. And because such islands are floating, they would not be affected by rising sea levels, flooding or other disasters.” Sowa welcomes guests to Joyxee and also offers tours. For tours, including a return trip to the shore, he requests a “donation of S5 or more.”
12. What do we know about Joyxee
A. It offers good living facilities. B. It was designed by volunteers.
C. It was built within a short period. D. It borders the Mexican city of Cancun.
13. What role does Joyxee’s mangrove forest play
A. Adjust the temperatures of the island.
B. Serve as the islanders’ food sources.
C. Provide structural support for the island.
D. Act as the island’s rainwater collection system.
14. What does the underlined part “the same misfortune” in paragraph 3 refer to
A. Being destroyed by a hurricane. B. Being short of bottle-filled nets.
C. Being criticized by environmentalists. D. Being separated from land by a lagoon.
15. Why does Sowa make the statements on his website
A. To attract more artists. B. To show off his island.
C. To promote the eco-island idea. D. To draw the media’s attention.
【答案】12. A 13. C 14. A 15. C
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了Joyxee岛的相关情况。
【12题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第一段“Located in Isla Mujeres Bay, a short distance from the Mexican Caribbean hot spot of Cancun, this private island features swimming ponds, Internet access, a fully functioning bathroom, a rainwater collection system, private beach space, solar power, a three-story home and a total area of 750 square meters.(这座私人岛屿位于Isla Mujeres湾，距离墨西哥加勒比海热点城市坎昆不远，拥有游泳池、互联网接入、功能齐全的浴室、雨水收集系统、私人海滩空间、太阳能、三层住宅，总面积为750平方米)”可推知，Joyxee提供良好的生活设施。故选A。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第二段“The roots from the island’s mangrove (红树林植物) forest have grown through these nets, providing natural structural strength.(岛上红树林的树根从这些网中生长出来，提供了天然的结构强度)”可知，Joyxee的红树林为岛屿提供了结构支撑。故选C。
【14题详解】
词句猜测题。根据上文“Spiral did not survive Hurricane Emily, though, which struck the Caribbean in 2005.(然而，“螺旋”没能在2005年袭击加勒比海的“艾米丽”飓风中幸存下来)”可知，他决定把它放在Isla Mujeres湾的一个泻湖里，以保护乔伊西岛不遭受与螺旋岛一样的不幸。由此可知，the same misfortune指的是“被飓风摧毁”。故选A。
15题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“While the media have covered the island as a novelty, Sowa’s statements on his website show that he thinks that his island constructions could be the start of something bigger. “Environmentally, the island is an example of a wind-, solar- and wave-powered living space. Furthermore, the mangroves can clean the air by absorbing CO2. And because such islands are floating, they would not be affected by rising sea levels, flooding or other disasters.”(虽然媒体把这个岛屿作为一个新奇的事物来报道，但索瓦在他的网站上的声明表明，他认为他的岛屿建设可能是一个更大的开始。“在环境方面，这个岛是风能、太阳能和海浪发电的生活空间的典范。此外，红树林可以通过吸收二氧化碳来净化空气。而且由于这些岛屿是漂浮的，它们不会受到海平面上升、洪水或其他灾害的影响。”)”可推知，索瓦在他的网站上发表了这些声明，是为了推广生态岛的理念。故选C。

47. 阅读下面材料,，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使其构成一篇完整的短文。
Most boys coming to our ranch (大牧场) were living around animals for the first time. Sent by educational systems, they were boys in trouble; they had no family, lacked love, often broke the rules, and were lonely. Our ranch created a “boy-horse communication program” for them, hoping to heal their broken spirits and help them behave well through their communication with horses. I was the program’s head.
15-year-old Martin was a new arrival. He appeared cold and easily angry and had no experience with horses. He seemed to consider a horse only a vehicle for speed and thrills. He always pushed his way to the front of the line every day, knocking down smaller children to get on the horse. And then he started moving fast. We tried to communicate with him, but he only cared about his excitement.
One morning, when I was upset about Martin’s behavior in my office, one worker told me that a female horse was ill. Then, I ran to its stable (马), and within an hour she was dead. We felt sad about her and also concerned about the young baby she had recently delivered (分娩). The baby horse’s first need was to be fed.
We prepared some milk in a bottle and offered it to her. But she wouldn’t accept the bottle. We had to put our hands in the milk and let her suck (吮吸) the milk off our fingers. It was a painfully slow method of feeding, but we had no choice if we wanted the baby horse to survive.
At that moment, Martin finished his daily riding and found us. Pushing his way through the crowd of kids who were watching us feed the baby horse, he got to the front, shouting, “I want to feed it!”
After I showed Martin how to do it, he put his hand in the milk and then put his fingers towards the horse’s mouth. When the baby horse closed her mouth around his fingers, Martin was surprised and drew back, shouting, “Hey, it bit me!” But knowing the little horse wanted more food, he immediately re-wet his hand.
注意：
1. 续写词数应为150词左右；
2. 请在答题卡相应位置作答。
And he gently put his fingers near her mouth.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Watching the horse sleep, Martin cried, “I’ll be her mom and care for her.”
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】And he gently put his fingers near her mouth. Again the horse sucked greedily. This time, Martin’s face relaxed into a smile of pure pleasure. Again and again, he put his hand in the milk and gave it to the horse. “She’s so hungry,” he said softly. Eventually, the horse had enough milk and fell into a deep sleep. “What happened to her ” Martin asked me. I told him that she had lost her mom and needed someone to care for her. Then we talked about how it felt to lose a mother.
Watching the horse sleep, Martin cried, “I’ll be her mom and care for her.” Touched, I nodded. He came every day to feed the baby horse and clean her stable. He brushed her and played with her. They had a wild game where they took turns chasing each other, bringing fun and love to each other. Gradually, Martin’s eyes had more tenderness, and he began caring for little boys there, teaching them to ride horses. I was glad about Martin’s change. And this was just one story here that showed how our program could heal a broken spirit.
【解析】
【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了作者是一个牧场的负责人，牧场里有很多由教育系统送来的，陷入困境的男孩。牧场为他们打造了“童马交流计划”，希望通过与马儿的交流来治愈他们受伤的心灵。15岁的男孩Martin是新来的，他看上去冷酷、容易生气，认为马只是速度和刺激的交通工具。他每天总是冲到队伍的最前面，撞倒较小的孩子才能上马，作者为Martin的行为感到很不安。一天，一匹母马死去了，她刚生出不久的小马需要有人来喂食，但是小马不接受奶瓶子，所以必须有人把手伸进牛奶里，让她吮吸手指上的牛奶，以此来喂食。Martin接下了这个任务，慢慢地在照顾小马的过程中马丁也改变了。
【详解】1.段落续写：
①由第一段首句内容“他轻轻地将手指放在她的嘴边。”和第二段首句“看着马儿睡着了，Martin哭着说:‘我要做她的妈妈，照顾她。’”可知，第一段可描写Martin喂食小马的过程以及作者告诉Martin小马失去了母亲这件事。
②由第二段首句内容“看着马儿睡着了，Martin哭着说:‘我要做她妈妈，照顾她。’”可知，第二段可描写Martin像妈妈一样每天都照顾小马，同时Martin自己也发生了改变，变得温柔了。
2.续写线索：喂食小马——得知小马失去了母亲——像母亲一样照顾小马——改变——作者很高兴看到Martin改变
