I know many of my friends had part-time jobs in junior and senior high school. I had a few jobs (12) at that age.
I started working at a bookstore (13) I was about 14. I went to the bookstore every day after school to (14) new books and hang out with my friends, so I thought, "Why not (15) there and make some money "
But the most common jobs (16) teenagers in the US are restaurant jobs. Working in the kitchen, waiting tables (17) washing dishes are a few of the most popular ones. I worked in a few restaurants.
Teenagers often take the jobs because employers don't want to (18) young, inexperienced(缺少经验的) workers too much money. And of course, teenagers don't need a ton of money. When I worked at the (19) , I spent all my money in the same store (20) books. That was really good for me.

三、阅读理解：
A
To write a great news story, you have to make sure it is correct, relevant (切题的) and fresh.
All the information in a story must be correct－not only the spelling and grammar, but also the facts. Any mistake that appears in a story can get a newspaper into big trouble.
For example, if a newspaper had said that Yang Liwei was the first man to go into space, it would have been wrong. He wasn't the first. The newspaper would probably have lost lots of readers because of that mistake.
A news story should be not only correct, but also relevant to its readers. People are mostly interested in news that happens near to them. That is why you care more about what happens at your school than that at American schools.
News must always be fresh. When you pick up an evening newspaper, you want to read about the news that happened that day. You don't want to read about the news from last week!
So, now you know what makes a good news story. Have a good look at our newspaper and see if it is full of good news. You can try writing a news story for our newspaper like a real reporter.
21.The writer mentions ________ main factors (因素) to make a great news story.
A. two B. three C. four D. five
22.According to the second paragraph, the correct information in a story includes ________.
A. translation and facts B. spelling and pronunciation
C. spelling, grammar and facts D. language, times and pronunciation
23.According to the article, newspapers in Liaocheng should talk much about the news in ________.
A. Liaocheng B. Hong Kong C. Shanghai D. Beijing
24.According to the article, which of the following is true
A. A small mistake can't get a newspaper into trouble.
B. A lot of people like reading about the news from last week.
C. The passage doesn't tell us who was the first man to go into space.
D. People are mostly interested in the news that happened far away from them.
25.The article mainly talks about ________.
A. how to be a good reporter B. where to find interesting news
C. when to choose a good newspaper D. how to write a great news story

Dear Mike,
How's everything going I'm sorry to hear that you have difficulty in getting along with others. It's very common to have this feeling. Let me give you some advice.
First, you should get a thorough understanding of yourself and try to find out your strength and shortage. What's more, it is necessary for you to communicate with your parents properly. Tell them your feelings so that they will understand you better. Most importantly, why not take part in some activities with your classmates as much as possible It will help you learn more about each other and improve your relationships.
I hope the advice can be useful for you.
