Question

    Students decide to take a job while being in university because of two reasons: on the one hand, they need money; on the other hand, they want to experience something new and they want to see what working means. It is a good opportunity (机会) to know about the society and realize the importance of co-working with others.

But is it good to take a job while you are a university student? There are both advantages and disadvantages if we were to answer this question. If we were to think about the advantages, we could mention the ones we have just discussed. Having a job at an early age helps us gain (获得) experience, which will be very useful to our later life. We may become financially independent (经济独立) and don't need to ask our parents for money each time we want to go downtown with our friends, or spend the holiday at the seaside or in the mountains.

However, students who take a job might have problems in spending enough time on their study. If they work during the day, they may have to be absent from their classes, and if they work at night, they will feel tired the next day. They may choose to stay at home resting. What's worse, some students may even get bored with studying.

Well, this fact happens every now and then, but there are cases (情况) when well-prepared students take a part-time job but at the same time they make time for studying, too. And they have good results. Their case is a good example to follow among the students who decide to work while being in university. Anyway, we need to keep in mind that study is the most important job for a student.

1.What is the benefit (好处) for university students who take a job according to the passage?

A.Making more friends. B.Winning free journeys.

C.Preparing them for their future careers (职业). D.Having complete independence from their family.

2.The writer implies (暗示) that university students ________ in the last paragraph.

A.should learn by doing B.should not take a job

C.can keep a balance (平衡) between work and study D.had better take a part-time job during vacation
