　　A part-time job can build kids’

　　skills，make good use of their spare time，and fill their pockets.But before your teen goes to work，here’s what you both need to know to avoid any accidents.

　　Do your homework.Before your teen says

　　“yes” to a job，find out as much as you can about the possible employer and the workplace.For example，if it’s a restaurant，stop in for dinner or lunch; if it’s a supermarket，shop there sometimes.Take note of how the manager treats the employees and whether safety measures (安全措施) are being followed.

　　Know the laws.Explain laws to your teen so he will know if he is asked to do anything unsuitable (like working beyond allowed hours)．Go to youthrules.dol.gov/states.htm for more information.

　　Set up your own rules.Don’t just rely on the law.You may need to be stricter.Even if it’s legal for your teen to work until 7 p．m.on a school night，for example，you may want him home by 6 p．m.so he’s not driving after dark.

　　________________.Your teen may not tell you how things are going－you’ll have to pull it out of him.“How was work today？” is likely to produce a meaningless answer “Fine”．Instead，ask，“Does the manager ever ask you to work after you clock out？” Or，“How closely does your manager watch to make sure you do things the right way？” You need to know whether a kid who was hired to do something innocuous has been asked to do something risky.Sad stories are often heard from parents who say，“When my teen got this job，she was hired as an assistant waiter.I didn’t know they’d put her in the back using a slicing machine (切片机)”．

　　A．Ask leading questions

　　B．Follow your teens

　　C．Talk with bosses

　　D．Know what the job is

　　解析：选A。推理判断题。末段主要讲述了家长需要有技巧的关心和询问孩子的工作如何，避免工作中意外情况的出现，故A为正确答案。

　　Across the globe many holidays are celebrated throughout the calendar months，however two

　　days，believe it or not，celebrate ALL CAPS on the Internet.This is one of those strange，but true stories spreading on the web.

　　While the holiday is not meant to be taken seriously，it is held twice every year and for whatever reason actually attracts some attention.Every June 28 and October 22 for several years now，the global society comes together on the Internet to pay respect to International Caps Lock Day (国际大写锁定日)．

　　The Day，which appeared in 2000，was created by Derek Arnold，who says it is not meant to be “deep” at all.He said，“Not everything’s an issue.”

　　October 22 is the original (最初的) celebratory date，but June 28 was added as a secondary one in memory of Billy Mays who was well-known on social and marketing websites.

　　Arnold manages the International Caps Lock Day website，which is pretty inactive，and contains mostly graphics (图样)．It is not an interesting site at all，but it serves its purpose，if one wants to get an idea of the “fun” nature of the holiday.

　　Hundreds of messages are received on International Caps Lock Day，for example，“I CAN’T ENTER MY MAILBOX BECAUSE MY PASSWORD(密码) IS WRONG.BECAUSE I’M NOT TURNING OFF CAPS LOCK.HOWEVER，I STILL WELCOME AND WANT TO CELEBRATE THE DAY.”

　　Using the caps lock button when writing on the web is normally considered to be shouting，annoying and rude，however on these two days of the year this practice of using ALL CAPS appears to be accepted.

　　【解题导语】　本文主要介绍了国际大写锁定日的情况。

　　36．According to the text，International Caps Lock Day ________.

　　A．lasts for two days every time

　　B．is celebrated on the Internet

　　C．was celebrated twice in 2000

　　D．is celebrated in every country

　　解析：选B。细节理解题。根据第一段的“...however two days，believe it or not，celebrate ALL CAPS on the Internet.”可知，这个节日是在网络上庆祝的。

　　37．People choose June 28 as a secondary celebratory date ________.

　　A．in memory of Derek Arnold

　　B．to remember a famous person on websites

　　C．because people like summer much more

　　D．to attract more attention

　　解析：选B。细节理解题。由第四段可知，人们将6月28日定为第二次庆祝日是为了纪念Billy Mays，故B为正确选项。

　　38．How would you feel if surfing Arnold’s website?

　　A．Scared.

　　B．Pleased.

　　C．Inspired.

　　D．Bored.

　　解析：选D。推理判断题。从第五段的“...which is pretty inactive，and contains mostly graphics (图样)．It is not an interesting site at all.”可知他的网站不活跃，并且大都是图样，很无趣，故选D项。

　　39．The message using ALL CAPS in Paragraph 6 is to show ________.

　　A．some people’s support for ALL CAPS

　　B．the writer’s anger at the service of his mailbox

　　C．the importance of the password

　　D．web users’ determination to use ALL CAPS

　　解析：选A。推理判断题。作者在第六段中引用了一名网友的留言，这名网友不仅使用大写字母，而且表明了自己欢迎并且希望庆祝这个节日，反映了这些人对于这个节日的支持。

　　40．The text intends to introduce ________.

　　A．how people celebrate International Caps Lock Day

　　B．what is behind International Caps Lock Day

　　C．why International Caps Lock Day is popular

　　D．who is honored on International Caps Lock Day

　　解析：选B。主旨大意题。本文主要介绍了国际大写锁定日的情况，介绍了它的诞生，为什么会设立一个这样的节日，以及人们在哪里庆祝这个节日等等，故B项符合主旨。

　　Lisa was running late.Lisa,25，had a lot to do at work，plus visitors on the way：her

　　parents

　　were

　　coming

　　in

　　for Thanksgiving from her hometown.But as she hurried down the subway stairs，she started to feel uncomfortably warm.By the time she got to the platform，Lisa felt weak and tired－maybe it hadn’t been a good idea to give blood the night before，she thought.She rested herself against a post close to the tracks.

　　Several yards away，Frank,43，and his girlfriend，Jennifer，found a spot close to where the front of the train would stop.They were deep in discussion about a house they were thinking of buying.

　　But when he heard the

　　scream，followed by someone yelling，“Oh，my God，she fell in！” Frank didn’t hesitate.He jumped down to the tracks and ran some 40 feet toward the body lying on the rails.“No! Not you! ”his girlfriend screamed after him.

　　She was right to be alarmed.By the time Frank reached Lisa，he could feel the tracks shaking and see the light coming.The train was about 20 seconds from the station.

　　It was hard to lift her.She was just out.But he managed to raise her the four feet to the platform so that bystanders could hold her by the arms and drag her away from the edge.That was where Lisa briefly regained consciousness，felt herself being pulled along the ground，and saw someone else holding her purse.

　　Lisa thought she’d been robbed.A woman held her hand and a man gave his shirt to help stop the blood pouring from her head.And she tried to talk but she couldn’t，and that was when she realized how much pain she was in.

　　Police and fire officials soon arrived，and Frank told the story to an officer.Jennifer said her boyfriend was calm on their 40-minute train ride downtown－just as he had been seconds after the rescue，which made her think about her reaction at the time.“I saw the train coming and I was thinking he was going to

　　die，”

　　she explained.

　　D．She had donated blood the night before.

　　42．Why did Jennifer try to stop her boyfriend?

　　A．Because they would miss their train.

　　B．Because he didn’t see the train coming.

　　C．Because she was sure Lisa was hard to lift.

　　D．Because she was afraid the train would kill him.

　　解析：选D。推理判断题。文章第四段第一句提到了信息“She was right to be alarmed(她很害怕)”；最后一段最后一句暗示了詹尼弗真正担心的原因；她讲道：“我看见火车来了，我担心男朋友会被火车撞死。”

　　阅读下面的短文，然后按照要求写一篇150词左右的英语短文。

　　It’s not Christmas Day yet.But wherever I go on the streets，I am surprised to see so many shops are full of Christmas presents.Christmas trees are in front of most hotels，malls

　　and office buildings.The

　　advertisements

　　about Christmas on TV or in newspapers give us an atmosphere (气氛) of festival.People，especially the youngster，wait eagerly for the coming of Christmas.Some of them are busy sending messages of Christmas best wishes to their friends.

　　I get quite surprised about the popularity of Christmas in China.Why do Chinese people celebrate it even when they do not know its origins? I can’ t get reasonable answers from any of my friends.Some of them think they just take the chance to enjoy themselves regardless of the meanings of the festival.

　　Compared to this situation is that some Chinese traditional festivals are less attractive to youngsters in China nowadays.Tomb-sweeping Day，Dragon Boat Festival，Mid-autumn Festival and so on meet with wide coldness in China even though they represent Chinese cultures and have a long history.Is it possible that western festivals will replace Chinese traditional ones in future?

　　One possible version：

　　Nowadays many young Chinese are crazy about celebrating Christmas even though they know very little about its meanings and origins，while they appear less concerned about some Chinese traditional festivals.

　　With the development of culture exchange，we might as well celebrate western festivals，especially Christmas.I believe that it can help us know more about

　　western

　　cultures，thus

　　improving

　　the understanding between countries.However，the enthusiasms for western festivals should not go too far.After all，it makes no sense for Chinese people to be crazy about foreign festivals without knowing their meanings.Moreover，traditional festivals are a very important part of our culture，which is not only a way of showing Chinese social life，but also a good way of passing on our culture.Therefore，I think that we should attach more importance to the celebration of traditional festivals.I consider it wise of our government to have passed a regulation to choose some traditional festivals as public holidays.
