However, that scene is becoming less common.About 25 years ago, there were 56 teenagers working for every “limited service” restaurant in the US, the kind of restaurant where you order at the counter(柜台) such as McDonalds and KFC. But there are fewer than half today. “We used to be very busy with the number of people wanting summer jobs,” Keith Miller, who runs three Subway restaurants in California, the US, but he now only receives a few such applications(申请) every year. “I dont know what teenagers do all summer.”However, it seems that most teens arent looking for jobs anywhere else, either. About 43 percent of 16-19-year-old US teenagers had a job or were looking for a job in July, 2016. This is a big contrast(对比) to the fact that about 70 percent had a job in July, 1988.Instead of finding summer jobs, many US teenagers are spending their free time taking classes. About 42 percent of US teenagers were taking classes in July, 2016. This is about four times the number of US teenagers who took classes in July, 1985. This change partly resulted from US teenagers increased interest in education. Alida Monaco, a 19-year-old student from New York, believes summer classes gave her more chances to learn new things. “I chose to go to summer school because I wanted more experience,” Monaco told USA Today.Meanwhile, for many students who are going to attend college, the money from summer jobs doesnt live up to their expectations. Teenagers have low incomes and pay little toward the costs of college.Despite this, a summer job is still believed to benefit teenagers. It can teach important skills that are useful for later life, such as how to manage money, deal with bosses and get along with workmates.31 . The writer mentions Keith Miller to show that _.Ateenagers dont like to eat at fast-food restaurants nowBteenagers nowadays use the Internet to find jobsCthe boss of the fast-food restaurants need a lot of teenagers to help themDthere are fewer teenagers who do summer jobs now than in the past32 . What is the reason for a decrease in the number of teenagers who want summer jobs?AThey have already found jobs in other working areas.BThey have no interest in working in fast-food restaurants.CThey have more interest in education and the money they earn is little.DThey want to learn new skills from new bosses and workmates.33 . The words “live up to” in the fifth paragraph probably mean “_”.Aagree withBcompare withCregard asDlook like34 . The writer probably agrees that _.Adoing a summer job is useful to teenagers in a certain wayBteenagers should spend more time on their studyCteenagers need more work experience to improve themselvesDteenagers are lazier now and dont want to do any part-time jobsWhen I was a baby, I entertained you and made you laugh. Whenever I was “bad”, youd shake your finger at me and ask, “How could you?”-but then youd give up, and roll me over for a belly scratch(腹部抓痒) and I believed that life could not be any more perfect.My housetraining was a long process, because you were terribly busy, but we worked on that together. We went for long walks, runs in the park and car rides. We stopped for ice cream. I took long naps in the sun waiting for you to come home at the end of the day.Step by step, you began spending more time at work and on your career, and more time searching for a human friend. Finally, you fell in love. She, now your wife, is not a dog person, but I still welcomed her into our home. I was happy because you were happy. Then the human babies came along and I shared your excitement, I was attracted by their pinkness, how they smelled, and I wanted to mother them too. Your wife was afraid I would bite them. However, as they began to grow, I became their friend.Now, you have a new job in another city and you and they will be moving to an apartment that does not allow pets. Youve made the right decision for your “family”, but there was a time when I was your only family.I was excited about the car ride until we arrived at the dog pound(收容所). It smelled of dogs and cats, of fear, of hopelessness. You filled out the paperwork and said, “I know you will find a good home for her.” They shrugged（耸肩）and gave you a pained look. The children were in tears as they waved me goodbye. And “How could you?” were the only three words that swept over my mind.Is it better to live with hope or without hope? At first, whenever anyone passed my pen (围栏), I rushed to the front, hoping it was you, that you had changed your mind and that this was all a bad dream.My beloved master, I will think of you and wait for you forever. I hope you receive more faithfulness from your family than you showed to me.35 . Who tells this story?AA dog.BA child.CA dogs owner.DA dog trainer36 .

But he quickly became tired of the books he used in class. They were all about the English people and places. Since he wanted books that would be interesting to the American children，he wrote three books with many American examples.Webster worked hard to change the spelling of American English. He wanted words to be spelled in the same way they were pronounced，for example，he thought the word “laugh” should be spelled “laf”. And he tried many ways to ask people to help him do this.One day he walked into a print shop and gave the boy there a piece of paper. “Young man，”he said，“when you print any book in the future，please dont spell the words like the English people do. For example，when you see these words：theatre，centre, colour，and labour，please always print them as theater，center，color and labor.” The boy studied it and answered，“I agree with you，but I must ask my boss first.”With the money he made from his books，Webster could start his great work，which took him more than twenty years to finish the first American English dictionary. And today，Websters dictionary is thought to be the most important American English dictionary in the whole world.38 .

We all need dreams.” Some scientists say.Dreams take up about one quarter of our sleeping time. People have several dreams each night. Dreams are like short films. They are usually in color. Some dreams are like old films. They come to us over again. That may be because the dreamer is worried about something. Dreaming may be a way of trying to find an answer.Some people get new ideas about their work from dreams. They may think about their work all day. These ideas can carry over into dreams.Sometimes we wake up with a good feeling from a dream. But often we cant remember the dream. Dreams can go away quickly.Too much dreaming can be harmful. The more we sleep, the longer we dream. The mind is hard at work when we dream. That is why we may have a long sleep and still wake up tired.42 .
