1．Wanted：A Personal Assistant I'm a very busy woman，looking for an assistant to help me with certain important tasks．This is not your average assistant job．What I'm looking for is someone to take care of some of my more personal business so that I may focus on my true passion：grocery shopping．Please apply if and only if you are willing and able to accomplish the following tasks：
Work I would love to have a nine-to-five job．However，I find sitting in an office all day unbearable．An ideal assistant would secure a high-paying office job and excel in that setting，even going so far as to eagerly accept every invitation to after-work drinks．
Go on family vacations I love my family，especially when I don't have to spend time with them．Thus，I will require my employee to attend all family vacations in my place．Since I'll miss out on spending time with my nephews，a good assistant will live-stream（直播）them for me the entire time while discreetly muting the live-stream whenever they start fighting．
Exercise I am determined to get in better shape but find working out strenuous and tiring．The right candidate will exercise for a minimum of an hour every day and allow me to reap the benefits of his or her vigorous activity．
Eat Just kidding-I love eating!
Date I'm looking for love but rind dating tedious and intimidating．Ideally，my employee will get a drink with a potential mate so he or she can do the tiresome work of getting to know someone and deciding whether I'll like him．If the romantic candidate advances past a third date，I'd be willing to step in and proceed with the relationship from there，excluding birthdays，holidays，and other high-pressure situations．
Have a baby I'm eager to have a child，but being pregnant and giving birth seems hard．
Likewise，raising a child seems daunting．I'd prefer to spend an hour or two with my child each day while someone else tackles the incredible responsibility of childrearing．Once my child turns 18，I will happily assume all parenting duties，excluding any financial obligations．
（1）What is the author truly interested in？

2．At the age of seven，while his friends were spending their allowances on things like candy and toys，Jose Adolfo Quisocola was busy saving money for basic purchases．To try to get his peers（同 龄 人）to do the same，the boy from Peru came up with the idea of an eco-bank，the Bartselana Student Bank，which allows kids of all ages to become financially independent while also helping the environment．
Set up in 2012，the bank is the world's first bank for kids．To become a member，a kid has to bring in at least 5 kilograms of solid waste and set a savings goal．Once accepted，all bank "partners" are required to deposit at least one additional kilogram of recyclables on a monthly basis and observe other requirements，such as attending financial education and environmental management workshops．
The waste accumulated is sold to local recycling companies，who，thanks to Jose's efforts，pay a higher-than-market rate for everything brought in by the bank members．The money received is placed in the personal account where they collect until the savings goal is reached．The account holder can then withdraw the money，or choose to leave it and continue to grow for a bigger target． "At the beginning，my teachers thought I was crazy or that a child could not undertake this type of project，" Jose recalls， "They did not understand that we are not the future of the country but its present．Luckily，I had the support of the school headmaster and an assistant in my class．"
The boy's efforts paid off，and by 2013，the bank had over 200 members，who brought in one ton of recyclable waste．Today，the eco-bank，which now has the support of several local institutions，boasts ten educational centers．They are designed to teach the over 3，000 students，aged 10 to 18 ，to become financially independent，use their money wisely，and help the environment．
Not surprisingly，Jose's efforts have earned him several national and international awards．On November 20，2018，Jose won Children's Climate Prize，which comes with a medal and ＄5，500 in prize money and is given to a child or youth who has accomplished an extraordinary achievement for the climate or environment．
（1）Why did Jose set up the bank？
A．To raise money and set up a recycling company．
B．To buy necessities and donate them to needy kids．
C．To save much money and protect the environment．
D．To educate the students and help them win prizes．
（2）How can a kid be admitted to the eco-bank？
A．By donating to the eco-bank．
B．By turning in one kilogram of waste in a month．
C．By sending in an application．
D．By presenting a goal and a certain amount of waste．
（3）How did the teachers feel about Jose's program？
A．Doubtful．
B．Excited．
C．Moved．
D．Worried．
（4）What is paragraph 4 mainly about？
A．How the environment is improved．
B．What the project has achieved．
C．How tons of waste has been recycled．
D．What support the local institutions get．组卷：3引用：2难度：0.6 -
3．When you were at school，the last thing you probably wanted to do was spend your weekends going to work．There was homework to do，sport 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：delivering newspapers to people's homes．I then progressed to a Saturday job in a supermarket：stacking shelves and working at the checkout．
Today in the UK you are allowed to work from the age of 13，and many children do take up part-time jobs．It's one of those things that are seen almost as a rite of passage（成人仪式）．It's a taste of independence and sometimes a useful thing to put on your CV（简历）．Teenagers agree that it teaches valuable lessons about working with adults and also about managing their money．
Some research has shown that not taking up a Saturday or holiday job could be deleterious to a person later on．A 2015 study by the UK Commission on Employment and Skills found that not participating in part-time work at school age had been blamed by employer's organizations for young participating in part-time work at school age had been blamed by employer's organizations for young adults being ill-prepared for full-time employment，but despite this，recent statistics 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 afraid of hard work？Probably not．Some experts feel that young people feel going out to work will affect their performance at school，and they are under more pressure now to study hard and get good exam results-and 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 regulated控制的）part-time work is a good way of helping young people learn skills that they will need in their working lives．" In reality，it's all about getting the right balance between doing part-time work and having enough time to study and rest．
（1）How did the author feel about doing part-time jobs on weekends when he was a teenager？
A．Unwilling．
B．Interested．
C．Delighted．
D．Angry．
（2）Which of the following may NOT be the benefit of school children's doing part-time jobs？
A．Learning to be independent．
B．Gaining some life experience．
C．Being prepared for future jobs．
D．Spending what they earn as they like．
（3）What does the underlined word "deleterious" in Paragraph 3 probably mean？
A．Valuable．
B．Harmful．
C．Necessary．
D．Impossible．
（4）What can we learn from Paragraph 4？
A．Students should spend all their time on studies．
B．Students should have as many part-time jobs as possible．
C．Doing part-time jobs must affect students' school results．
D．It's important for students to balance part-time jobs and studies．组卷：1引用：2难度：0.7
