26、TeenJobFind, created by Palo Alto tech expert and mother Janet Shah, matches teens with local jobs, such as washing cars, tutoring or yard work. And like other ‘on demand’ services, TeenJobFind runs via mobile devices.
Shah was motivated to build TeenJobFind after facing the same problem as many other parents of teens: She wanted her children to learn the value of earning money, but couldn’t fit a regular work schedule into their busy lives. ‘‘When my three kids asked me for things, I found myself reminding them that when I was their age, I was babysitting and earning my own money, ” Shah said. ‘‘However, because of academics and extracurricular activities, my kids don’t have time for a traditional part-time job.”
Drawing on her experience at Apple, Yahoo and other tech companies, Shah thought through the elements of TeenJobFind carefully before launching the app. First on her list was security. As a mother, she did not want to send her children to a stranger’s house to do a job without knowing if the situation was safe.
That is why all potential job posters on TeenJobFind must agree to a background check through a third party. As emphasized in the site’s FAQ, ‘‘Our task at TeenJobFind is to create a safe marketplace. Our number one priority is to ensure the safety of those using our platform.”
Adults looking for help, called ‘owls’, download the app, submit (提交) their information for the security check, and begin posting jobs.
Teenagers interested in working—called ‘owlets’—also need to download the app. Through geolocation (地理定位), TeenJobFind shows both teens and job posters which jobs are available in their neighborhood, or ‘nest’.
When ‘owls’ need a job done, they post a ‘hoot (夜枭鸣叫声)’, which gets sent to nearby ‘owlets’, whether it is for occasional yard work, cleaning a garage, taking care of pets, helping out at a party or tutoring. The possibilities are endless. Teenagers can choose to complete the task if it works with their schedule and interest.
If you have ever hired a teen, you know that it is difficult to figure out how much to pay them. Fortunately, TeenJobFind takes the worry out of this situation by charging job posters $15 per hour for all tasks.
From this fee, teens get paid $12, which is transferred electronically through the app. Like most other gig economy (零工经济) apps, TeenJobFind uses the $3 per hour difference to cover operational costs and increase accessibility to these services.

【2】What has the designer considered most important before launching the app?

D.The satisfaction of the society.

27、No one can believe that the over 6 300-kilometer long Great Wall might disappear some day. Believe it or not, the Great Wall is being destroyed by people. Less than 20 percent of the Great Wall built in the Ming Dynasty is still perfect, but about 80 percent is in danger. The Great Wall can be called “great” mostly because of its amazing length. But we should realize that the length was made up of one brick at a time. If we do nothing to save the Great Wall, it will become a series of separate wasteland rather than a historic site.
The Great Wall is actually a series of walls built and rebuilt by different dynasties over the past 2 000 years. It began in the rule of China’s first emperor, Qin Shihuang of the Qin Dynasty(221 BC~206 BC), and lasted into the Ming Dynasty. The parts built before the Ming Dynasty have nearly disappeared. People are familiar with sections such as Badaling in Beijing and Jiayuguan Pass in Gansu because they have been open to tourists for many years. But those sections far away from the public eyes have been almost forgotten.
Few local people knew the 3-meter-high walls made of earth and stones beside them are part of the Great Wall. The lack of knowledge is considered as one of the main reasons behind human.
The bricks on the Great Wall are carried off by countryside people to build their houses, sheep corral(畜栏) and pigsties(猪圈). Some were taken away to build roads. Bricks carved with people’s names are put away as remembrance. Rubbish is spread over the battlements(城垛). The bricks can be sold for 15 yuan per tractor load. Those who destroyed and are destroying the Great Wall know its name, but are not clear about its cultural meaning. It will take a long time to let them know this. The local farmers not only carried off the body of the Wall but dug out the entire base.
It is necessary to protect the Great Wall. First of all, the officials should be aware of the importance of the Great Wall. Young Chinese should know more about the nation’s great civilization(文明)and learn to love it.
【1】The main reason for which the Great Wall can be called“great”is_________.
A. it is made by brick B. It is very wide
C. it is very long D. it has a long
【2】Why does the author say the Great Wall might disappear
A. It is useless from now on.
B. It will be replaced by a new one.
C. Some parts of it are being destroyed.
D. It’s too old to be used again.
【3】The underlined part “those sections far away from the public eyes” refers to the parts of the Great Wall________.
A. that are too difficult to understand
B. nobody can watch
C. that are too far to been seen
D. that are not well known to the public
【4】What’s the main reason of the Great Wall’s being destroyed
A. The local people are short of culture knowledge.
B. The local people need bricks and stones to build houses.
C. The local people think that the Great Wall is not important.
D. The local people are against the government.

【5】
Sometimes you may realize you no longer want that goal. Your interests may have changed or other goals may take priority (优先).

29、 Ice-skating athlete Alysa Liu is no stranger to breaking records. In 2016, the then 10-year-old became the youngest figure skating(花滑)champion in U.S. history. In 2018, at the age of 12, Liu became the youngest to compete in, and win, the U.S. junior championships. That same year, she was also the youngest to land a triple axel (三圈半跳)in an international competition.
On January 25, 2019, the skater made history once again as the youngest-ever national figure skating champion at the Geico U.S. Women’s Figure Skating Championships held in Detroit, Michigan. The record before was held by Tara Lipinski in 1997 when she was 15.
At the championships, things were going well for defending U.S. champion Bradie Tennell, who was in the lead following the short program on January 24. But things changed the following day when Tennell had a series of setbacks(挫折),first stepping out of a triple loop and then falling during a triple lutz attempt. Meanwhile, Liu, who was in second place and had already impressed the judges with a perfect triple axel in the short program, gave a perfect free skate performance.
When asked about her amazing performance, Liu said, "I was just happy that I beat my personal record, and I did a clean long program." Another thing the young champion was happy about? A trip to Disneyland for Liu and her family. "It’s so much fun," said the 13-year-old.
Liu fell in love with ice skating during her first lesson at the Oakland Ice Center. The then five-year-old showed such a natural gift that Laura Lipetsky, a former national competitor who has taught Liu ever since, asked her father, Arthur Liu, to send her to private lessons.
Unfortunately, Liu won’t take part in the 2019 World Figure Skating Championships in Japan because of the age requirement of 15. However, that doesn’t appear to affect her. She says, "I’m not too worried about that part because I get more time to work on my jumps, skating skills and just trying to learn more."

The meaning of silence varies among cultural group. Silence may be 【1】, or they may be empty when a person has nothing to say. A silence in conversation may also show stubbornness, uneasiness, or worry. Silence may be viewed by some cultural groups as extremely uncomfortable; therefore attempts may be made to fill every 【2】 with conversation. Persons in other cultural groups value silence and view it as necessary for understanding a person’s needs. Many native Americans value silence and feel it is a basic part of 【3】 among people, just at some traditional Chinese and Thai persons do.

In still another use, persons in Asian cultures may view silence as a sign of respect, particularly to an elder or a person in authority.
Nurses and other care-givers need to be aware of the 【8】 meanings of silence wen they come across the personal anxiety their patients may be experiencing.
