The use of computer and the internet allows people to work at home instead of traveling to work. For example, a journalist who lives in a remote part of the world still gets in his articles on time for the next day’s newspapers. The internet allows businesses to communicate with customers and workers in any parts of the world for the cost of a local telephone call. This means it’s inexpensive to communicate. Email allows users to send documents, pictures and other data from one part of the world to another in at least 5 minutes. The internet is providing a lot of new business opportunities. Some businesses are advertising their products on the internet. People can use the internet to do shopping. This saves a lot of time. It is possible to use the internet for education- students may connect with their teachers from home to send or receive e. mail or talk their problems through ‘ on – line’ rather than attend a class.

Dear Mai,
I’m very pleased that we’re going to be pen pals. I’ll tell you a little about myself, and you can do the same when you write to me.
I live in an area of London called Maida Vale. It’s quite near the centre, but there are parks nearby where I often take my dog, Mickey, for a walk. I live with my parents and my younger brother, Paul. My father works for the post office and my mother has a part-time job as a nurse.
I go to the local comprehensive school, where I have a lot of friends. I like most subjects, but not all of them! In the evening I sometimes visit friends or stay at home and listen to music, and at the weekends I like going swimming or horse-riding.
At the moment I’m working very hard because I have exams soon, so I’m spending a lot of time in the library.
I’m looking forward to hearing from you. Write soon!
Best wishes,
Mary

Read the passage. Circle A, B or C to answer each question.
More than 80% of American high school students work at part-time jobs in the evenings, on weekends or in summer. These part-time jobs bring teenagers great advantages.
One of the benefits of the work is the students can learn the skills that will be useful for the rest of their lives. When they work, they have to manage both the job and schoolwork. To be able to do so, they must be very organized and able to keep a sensible schedule. They also learn to cope with the job stress apart from the stress of the schoolwork. Some of the most stressful jobs include teaching, nursing, and police work. These skills help prepare teenagers for their later careers. High school students who work are more likely to succeed as adults than people who enter the job market at a later age with no work experience.
Teenagers want a lot of expensive things: clothes, mp3 players, trips with their friends, etc. Not all parents can afford them. And even if they can, the teens might not really appreciate that money because they did not earn it. When teenagers make money for themselves, they know its true and are less likely to spend it foolishly.
The word “cope with” in the passage is closest in meaning to ______.
A. fight against
B. deal with
C. suffer from
