of course not! kids who are between the ages of 10and 13 can earn money by doing lots of things. valerie, 11, told us that she made money by cleaning up other peoples yards. lena, 13, made money by knitting dog sweaters and selling them to her neighbors, and reisa said she had started taking art classes and showing her work to people. people have asked her to draw pictures for them and they paid her for them. jasmine, 13, wrote articles for different magazines! earning is learning. by working to earn your own money, you are learning the skills you will need to succeed in life. these skills can include things like getting along with others, using technology and using your time. some people think that asking for money is a lot easier than earning it; however, when you make your own money, you dont have to depend on someone else. the five dollars that you earn will probably make you feel a lot better in your hand than the twenty dollars you ask for. 68. kids can have full-time jobs at the age of _ in the usa. a. 17b. 14c. 13d. 10 69. if you are 15 years old, you cant work _. a. after schoolb. on weekendsc. during summerd. on weekdays 70. reisa made money by _.a. cleaning up other peoples yards.b. drawing pictures of for othersc. writing articles for different magazinesd. knitting dog sweaters and selling them to her neighborsb）请先阅读下面短文，掌握其大意，然后根据短文内容从下面方框内的七个选项中，选择五个还原到文中，使短文意思通顺，结构完整。（每小题2分）life was fun for british teenagers before. 71 they wore teenage clothes, and met in teenage coffee bars and discos. today some of them still do so. but for many young people, life is harder now. 72 theres not so much money around. things are more expensive, and its hard to find a place to live in. teachers say that students work harder now. they are less interested in politics, but more interested in passing exams. 73 most young people worry more about money than their parents did twenty years ago. they try to spend less and save more. for some, the answer to unemployment is to leave home and look for jobs in one of britains big cities. 74 some find work, and stay. others dont find it, and go home again. when you read newspapers or watch news on television, its easy to get the idea that british young people are all unemployed, angry and in trouble. 7
