9、 your weekends going to work. There was homework to do, sports to play and fun to have. But our parents probably persuaded us to find a job to earn some money and get some life experience. When I was a teenager I had a paper round. I then progressed to a Saturday job in a supermarket.Today in the UK
10、 children are allowed to take part-time jobs from the age of 13. Its one of those things that is seen almost as a rite of passage（成人仪式）. Its a taste of independence. Teenagers agree that it teaches valuable lessons about working with adults and also about managing your money.Some research has shown
11、that not taking on a Saturday or holiday job could be harmful to a person later on. According to a 2017 study in the UK, employers organizations believed that not participating in part-time work at school age caused young adults to be ill-prepared for full-time employment. But despite this, recent n
12、umbers have shown that the number of schoolchildren in the UK with a part-time job has fallen by a fifth in the past five years.So, does this mean that British teenagers are now more afraid of hard work? Probably not. Some experts think that young people feel going out to work will affect their perf
13、ormance at school, and they are under more pressure now to study hard and get good exam resultsand a good job in the long term. However, Geoff Barton, general secretary of the Association of School and College Leaders, told BBC News that “Properly controlled part-time work is a good way of helping y
14、oung people learn skills that they will need in their working lives.” In reality, its all about getting the right balance between doing part-time work and having enough time to study and rest.Many young people actually want to work because it gives them a sense of freedom. One 13-year-old girl, who
15、has a Saturday job in a shop, told the BBC that “I enjoy my job because Im earning money and it helps my confidence speaking to people and socializing with people.” Did you do a part-time job when you were at school?25.Employers believe if young adults dont participate in part-time work at school ag
16、e, _.A. they cant work on their ownB. they cant manage their money wiselyC. they wont be well-prepared for the jobD. they wont know how to work with others26.According to some experts, _ has caused fewer schoolchildren to do a par-time job in the past years.A. more time to rest B. having enough mone
17、yC. being afraid of hard work D. more pressure from school27.According to the passage, taking on a part-time job can help young people _.A. have a chance to see the world and meet more friendsB. understand their parents and grow up more quicklyC. learn skills and be confident to talk to peopleD. get
18、 better grades and perform well in schoolCPeople who often eat nuts appear to live longer, according to the latest study of its kind. The findings, published in the New England Journal of Medicine, suggested the greatest benefit was in those eating them on their daily diet.Eating nuts was linked to
19、a healthier lifestyle including being less likely to smoke or be overweight and more likely to exercise. The British Heart Foundation said more research was needed to prove the link, “While this is an interesting link, we need further research to make sure if its the nuts that protect heart health,
20、or other sides of peoples lifestyle .”The study followed nearly 120,000 people for 30 years. The more regularly people ate nuts, the less likely they were to die during the study. People eating nuts once a week were 11% less likely to have died during the study than those who never ate nuts. Lead re
21、searcher Dr. Charles Fuchs, from the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute and Brigham and Womens Hospital, said, “The most obvious benefit was a decrease of 29%in deaths from heart disease, but we also saw a significant reduction-11%- in the danger of dying from cancer.”They suggest nuts are lowering choles
22、terol(胆固醇) and insulin resistance(胰岛素抗性). Nuts contain unsaturated fat(不饱和脂肪), protein(蛋白质) and several kinds of vitamins and minerals and they can take the place of snacks like chocolate bars, cakes and biscuits.Victoria Taylor, senior expert at the British Heart Foundation, said, “This study shows
23、 close connection between regularly eating a small handful of nuts and a lower risk of death from heart disease.” Choosing plain, unsalted foods rather than sweet, salted, or chocolate-covered will keep your salt and sugar intake down.28.According to the passage, what kind of people benefit most fro
24、m eating nuts?A. Those who eat most nuts at a time.B. Those who eat most nuts.C. Those who eat nuts on their daily diet.D. Those who eat less nuts.29.Which kind of disease had a most decrease for regular nuts eater?A. Cancer.B. Heart disease.C. Stomach disease.D. Unknown.30.The writer developed the

Health section.C. Entertainment section.D. Tech section.DCollege graduation eventually means taking much of your atte
26、ntion in your first job search. This process can be challenging, especially for those students who had second thoughts about their chosen major and intended career pathor those who majored in a field not directly connected to a specific career. If you are in one of these groups, fear not! Although y
27、our major, coursework, and academic performance are relevant to landing a job, they are not the only deciding factors on where you can work. So, just how important is your major to your job search?Some majors are tied directly to specific career fields. For example, if you wish to become a teacher,
28、you will likely have needed to complete an education program and eventually sit for a licensing exam. The same applies to majors in nursing. If you did not complete an accredited nursing program, you wont be able to take the nursing licensure exam. In these cases, successfully completing a specific
29、major is crucial to landing a job in the matching field.Other majors, however, are closely related to career paths but dont necessarily require a degree in the area. For example, students who majored in finance, math, or statistics may also have the necessary skills to be hired as an accountant. Alt
30、hough social work majors are most prepared to provide case management services to struggling populations, students who majored in psychology or sociology can be just as qualified.Lastly, there are many industries, such as professional sales, education (non-teaching positions), insurance, and custome
31、r service management, which hire new graduates from several more majors, looking for more generalized requirements. They may simply want to know the student has completed his or her bachelors degree, which demonstrates college-level math and writing, critical thinking, and problem-solving skills.Hop
32、efully, as a college student, you were able to do more than just attend classes. Your non-academic experiences can be very influential on your future career as well. Did you work during college, volunteer, or participate in a club or organization? If so, and if you enjoyed these activities, seek out
33、 related careers. If you volunteered with a non-profit organization such as a homeless or domestic violence shelter, seek out positions in social services related to case management or victim advocacy(辩护). You may qualify for a position regardless of your major.Although it often seems like your coll
34、ege major alone determines your career fate, this just isnt the case. It may influence it, but there are other factors that influence your career options as well. If you dont know what career options to consider based on your major, talk to your faculty or academic advisor. You may be surprised at w
