Most people graduate from school and then get a job. Everyone wants a job and pays well. How much money can you make? Ask yourself these questions. What can I do? What skills do I have? Also ask yourself: How much education do I have? For most jobs, the higher your education, the higher your earning power (the money you can make).
For example, the United States, high school graduates make about $18,600 a year. If you don’t finish high school, you make only $10,800 a year. You can make $7,800 more each year by staying in high school.
If you stay in school, then you can make more money. Let's look at the example again. A person with a high school degree makes about $ 18,600 a year. If that person goes to college and gets a bachelor's degree, he can make $42,000. With a master’ s degree, he can make about $53,000. If the person gets a doctor's degree, he can make almost $ 79,000 or more a year.

| A．$ 7,800 | B．$18,600 | C．$1,550 | D．$10,800 |
From the passage, we know a person_______usually makes the most money.
| A．with a high school degree | B．with a bachelor's degree |
| C．with a master's degree | D．with a doctor's degree |
What is the main idea of the passage?

Life in the future will be different from life today. Many changes will happen. But what will the changes be?
The population is growing fast. There will be more people in the world and most of them will live longer than people live now.
Computers will be much smaller and more useful, and there will be at least one in every room. And computer studies will be one of the important subjects in schools then. People will work fewer hours than they do now and they will have more free time for sports, watching TV and travel. Traveling will be much cheaper and easier. And many more people will go to other countries for holidays.
There will be changes in our food, too. More land will be used for building new towns and houses for all the people. Then there will be less room for cows and sheep, so meat will be more expensive. Maybe no one will eat meat as much as people do today. Instead they will eat more fruit and vegetables. Maybe people will be healthier.
Work in the future will be different, too. Robots will do dangerous and hard work. Because of this, many people will not have enough work to do. This will be a big problem.
| A．much more fruit | B．more people |
| C．less vegetables | D．less people |
| A． robot | B． cow | C． TV set | D．computer |
| A．work long hours | B．work fast |
| C．walk on foot | D．eat meat |
| A． fruit | B．fish | C． meat | D．rice |
| A．many people don’t have to work |
| B．many people will not be able to find work |
| C．people have to work fast |
| D．all the work will be done by robots |
Can you swim? Yes? Well, how can you learn to swim? I think the best way is to go into the water and learn. I’m afraid you’ll never learn to swim just by reading books about swimming or looking at others swimming. It’s the same with the English study.
Listening and speaking are very important for beginners. We can listen to English programs on the radio. Just be relaxed, try to catch every word. Somebody may be a good listener but he doesn’t dare to speak. He’s afraid of making mistakes. You know we sometimes make mistakes when we speak Chinese. Don’t be afraid. We must be brave. If you really want to learn English well, you must try to speak with people who knows English. Remember, the more you speak, the fewer mistakes you’ll make.
Reading and writing are more important for senior school students. First we must choose the books we’re interested in. A lot of reading will improve your language sense.
Easier said than done. Well, let’s do more practice from now on. I’m sure you’ll learn English well in this way.
| A．going into the river and learning |
| B． looking at others swimming |
| C．having lessons on it |
| D． reading books about it |
| A．by train | B．on the radio |
| C．every minute | D．now and then |
| A．Don’t make mistakes. | B．Study hard |
| C．Try not to speak English | D．Don’t be afraid. |
| A．Listening. | B．Speaking. |
| C．Reading and writing. | D．Learning. |
| A．listening and speaking | B． reading and writing |
| C．swimming | D． A and B |
