More than 80% of American high school students do part-time jobs in the evening on weekends or in summers. 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 the students 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, smartphones, 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 value and are less likely to spend it foolishly.
31. Which of the following is the best title for the passage?
A. Advantages of part-time jobs B. Advantages and disadvantages of part-time job
C. Stress of teenagers' schoolwork C. Disadvantages of part time jobs to teenagers
32. According to the passage, what is NOT the benefit of doing part-time jobs?
A. learning useful skills B. spending money foolishly
C. coping with job stress D. keeping a sensible schedule

A. benefits B. students C. skills D. stressful jobs
34. According to the passage, some of the most……… jobs include teaching, nursing and police work
A. stressful B. harmful C. helpful D. useful

Toronto is one of the world’s most multicultural cities. Almost half of its population are immigrants. You’ll hear more than 140 languages and dialects spoken on the streets in this “City of Neighborhoods”. It’s the most populous city in Canada (more than 5 million in the Greater Toronto Area) and the province of Ontario’s economic engine. Toronto’s motto is “Diversity Our Strength”. Toronto prides itself on its wide range of cultures, languages, food and arts.
Visit Toronto, and one of the first things you’ll notice is that the city’s appeal lies in its citizens’ friendliness: ask for directions, and you’ll be helped. Along with its highly artistic culture and fascinating museums that proudly display the country’s history, it’s clear that a Toronto trip has something for everyone.
Although Toronto’s climate is partially moderated by its Great Lakes location, it is more extreme than Bordeaux’s and Christchurch’s, with somewhat hotter summers and considerably colder winters. Summertime in Toronto is festival time. Just about every weekend, and some weekdays, you’ll find one happening. If crowds aren’t your thing, avoid Caribana festival (July 28 through July 31), when the city greets more than one million visitors.
