    That warm day was the only day of the week without rain.I opened the door,took a seat and began to enjoy the wonderful sunshine.Suddenly,I noticed that the house near mine had been sold.An elderly lady was in front of the door,with some beautiful flowers beside her.I walked to her.She looked to be in her early eighties and had the prettiest white hair.

“Hi!My name is Karmen,” I said smiling brightly at the old lady.She smiled back and said,“Hello,Karmen.I’m Kitty.” Her voice was very strong for someone at her age.Later,I learned that she was alone and had no family or relatives to help her.From that day on,I often visited her and helped her with her housework and sometimes she gave me some delicious food.A year passed,and I considered her to be one of my best friends.

One day,I walked over for my morning visit and knocked on the door,but there was no answer.I knocked again,and she still didn’t turn up.So I let myself in,using the key she had given me.I checked her living room and then her kitchen.I finally went into her bedroom,and she was lying peacefully on her bed.Beside her there were two notes.One was her will(遗嘱),which said all that she had would be given to me.The other was a thank-you note.I went to her bedside and cried sadly.

Though several years has gone by,I still miss her deeply.Whenever I look at the beautiful flowers in front of her house,I remember the wonderful friendship we had.

1. B 2. D 3. A 4. D 【解析】 本文为记叙文。这篇短文作者主要记述了他和一位老人的友谊。 1.细节理解题。根据第二段中的Later,I learned that she was alone and had no family or relatives to help her.可知,没有人来照顾她。故B选项正确。 2.细节理解题。根据短文第二、三段描述可知,作者和这个老人相处得很好,以至于最后将财产都给了作者。故D选项正确。 3.词义猜测题。由下文描述可知,作者用老人给她的钥匙检查了她的起居室,走进她的卧室,她安详地躺着,留下了遗嘱,因此可知老人去世了,因此推断没有出现,故turn up与appear意思相同。故A选项正确。 4.根据第三段中One was her will, which said all that she had would be given to me. The other was a thank-you note. I went to her bedside and cried sadly.可知,为了感谢作者,老太太决定把她所有的东西都留给作者。故D选项正确。

Part-time jobs for 15 and 16 years olds

Waiter / Waitress
A job as a waiter or waitress is a good choice for 16-year-olds. Not only can one earn $9-$12 an hour, but they can also get the tips (小费). Most people that visit a restaurant don’t just have good food. They come here to relax and have a good time. Besides serving food quickly, a young waiter who talks to them politely with a smile on his face will make the diners enjoy their time at the restaurant.
 

Work in a library
If one is fond of books, working in a library is another suitable choice. Besides the pay is good, it offers a lot of free time when students can actually sit down and finish their homework. So on returning home, they would have time to hang around with friends or just relax. So working in a library is an excellent part-time job for teens, especially for school students.
 

Internet jobs
There are many ways of making money through online jobs like clicking on advertisements, visiting sites and signing up with them. However, such online jobs don’t pay well.
