High school students need “cool” jobs in summer holidays. Working at popular retail chains(零售連鎖店) and ice-cream shops are good choices. The U.S. Department of Labor(美國(guó)勞工部) says that about two-thirds of the teenager workers are in fast food business. 1/5 of cooks and food workers are between 16 and 19 years old and 2/5 of food workers are part-time workers.
If you think taking a part-time job is easier, you are wrong. For young people, whatever you do, do your jobs well. Because a good work record will be useful for higher-paid jobs in the future. Let’s share my story.
Unless with my family members, I would go to eat fast food. That doesn’t mean I don’t like working in a fast food restaurant. My first part-time job, at age 16, was at the McDonald’s in Bloomington, Indiana. It was very hard work. Especially on Indiana University football weekends, we had no time to rest, but we still had a lot of fun. Finally I got a higher-paid job.
A future manager believes that difficult work encourages success. The growing U.S. population will bring more restaurants. While many people can’t deal with the pressure(壓力) to fill orders quickly, the people who really do a great job will get plenty of rewards in the workplace.
【小題1】According to the U.S. Department of Labor, ______.

A.more than half of teenager workers are in fast food business
B.teenagers in America like to work in a fast food restaurant

A.he never liked fast food and would never eat it
B.he didn’t like working in a fast food restaurant at all
C.he did a great job, which enabled him to find a better one
D.he never went to the fast food restaurant with his family
【小題3】The underlined phrase “A future manager” in Paragraph 4 means the person who ______.
A.will become a manager in the futureB.wants to be a manager in the future
C.doesn’t like his job at presentD.worries about his future
【小題4】From the last paragraph, we can learn that ______.
A.a(chǎn) manager will do less work and get more money
B.not all the people are suitable for the job in fast food business
C.a(chǎn) hardworking waiter has few chances to be a manager
D.the growing U.S. population can bring higher-paid jobs

Rowena and Billy Wrangler are model high school students. They study hard and do extremely well on achievement tests. And next year,Rowena will be attending Harvard University.Billy,her younger brother,hopes to go to Cornell.What makes Rowena and Billy different from most students is that they don't go to school.In fact,they've never been to school.Since kindergarten,they've studied at home.Like many of more than one million people who receive home schooling in the United States, they feel as if they've gotten a good education.
The home-schooling trend began in the U.S.in the 1980s with parents keeping their children out of public schools so they could provide religious education at home. Today,as the home-schooling trend continues to grow,parents are more likely to consider home schooling as an option because they believe schools don't do a very good job of teaching and are occasionally dangerous places.But can parents really do a better job?
The answer in many cases is yes.In many studies,students taught at home ranked average or above average when compared to students who went to public schools.More importantly,these students were often more self-directed and have a greater depth of knowledge.They were well prepared for academic challenges.
One such student,Robert Conrad, now a sophomore at university, claims he really learned how to study and schedule his time during his eight years of home schooling.Still, not every student is as successful as Robert.
“For every home-schooling success story,there are an equal number of failures.”states Henry Lipscomb,an educational researcher.“There are just so many disadvantages that students taught at home have to overcome.” For example,they have fewer chances to get in touch with others of their own age.Consequently,they sometimes lack the usual social skills.“No matter what,though,”states Lipscomb,“home-schooling is a growing trend.I think we'll be seeing more and more of this.”
【小題1】Compared with other students, Rowena and Billy are most different in the fact that ___________.

A.they preferred to teach themselves
B.they do extremely well on achievement tests
C.they don't go to school as other teenagers
D.they feel they have gotten a good education
【小題2】According to the article, what is NOT the advantage of being educated at home?
A.Home is a safer place for children.
B.Students taught at home are more self-directed.
C.Students taught at home have a greater depth of knowledge.
D.Students taught at home can go to good universities.
【小題3】The writer thinks __________ .
A.parents can do a better job than schools
B.home-schooling will be more and more useful
C.home-schooling is good in some aspects
D.students taught at home make greater achievements
【小題4】The best title of this text might be ________ .
A.Home-schooling:A Growing Trend
B.Home-schooling:A Better Choice
C.Home-schooling:A Way to Success
D.Home-schooling:A New Method of Education
