If you are a teenager without a job, you probably do not have much extra money. Sometimes parents will give their children pocket money for doing small housework, but it is often not enough once the children grow into teenagers and want to do things with their friends all of the time. How to make money is an important thing for teens to learn. If you’re wondering how a teenager can make good money, some ideas might be:
Getting a part-time job at a local restaurant or store is always a sure way to make money as a teen. But getting a job somewhere like this might be bard, considering many jobs in local stores are being taken by adults more and more often.
Doing landscaping (绿化) is something that most adults do not like to do, and teens can usually find jobs around their neighborhood doing the landscaping of friends and family.
Some teens are good at something such as writing or photography. These teens can make money by doing things such as writing articles for newspapers or magazines or selling their photos online.
Teens who live in a country area can earn money by helping out on farms, or they can try raising their own animals such as chickens, and selling them or their products.
Looking for jobs can seem hard at first, but if you have a try, it should not be too hard to find a job or way to make money.

【推荐1】Chopsticks, or kuaizi in Chinese, are used to eat Asian food. The earliest evidence of a pair of chopsticks made out of bronze was found in the Ruins of Yin near Anyang, Henan province, dating back to roughly 1, 200 BC.
Chopsticks are round on the eating end which symbolizes heaven, and the other end is square which symbolizes earth. This is because maintaining an adequate food supply is the greatest concern between heaven and earth in Chinese culture.
There is no single standard for the use of chopsticks, but better bear some rules in mind eating with them. Playing with chopsticks is considered bad manners and rude, just as playing with a fork in a Western environment would be considered impolite. Besides, chopsticks are not used to move bowls or plates or to toy with one’s food. Chopsticks are not supposed to stab food, either. Exceptions include tearing larger items apart such as vegetables. Also, chopsticks should not be left standing up in a bowl of food. Any stick-like object pointing upward resembles(像) the incense sticks that some Asians use as offerings to family members who have passed away. In addition, avoid tapping chopsticks on the edge of one’s bowl, as beggars are believed to make this noise to attract attention. Furthermore, chopsticks should not be chewed on, or linger in one’s mouth for too long.
Today, chopsticks serve many functions besides as tableware. For example, you can buy a pair of chopsticks as a gift for a newly-married couple as their wedding gift. In Chinese, ‘chopsticks’ reads ‘kuaizi’, which means to have sons soon. Skillful craftsmen paint beautiful scenery on chopsticks to make them like fine artwork. Additionally, it has been said that using chopsticks improves one’s memory, increases finger flexibility and can be useful in learning and improving skills such as Chinese character printing and brush painting.

【推荐2】Apple officially launched (推出) its Apple Pay service in China on February 18, through a partnership (合伙) with China UnionPay, entering the country’s competitive mobile payment race.
Instead of scanning a bar code, which is required by mobile payment services provided by Alipay and Wechat, users of the iPhone 6 or more advanced versions, certain iPads and Apple Watches will be able to use their devices. The devices are equipped with near-field communication technology (NFC) for users to buy things in stores in China-Apple’s second-largest market.
The customers of 19 Chinese banks will be able to link their bank accounts to Apple Pay, and UnionPay has provided proper point-of-sale (POS) machine for users to complete the transactions. The transaction will be completed when users hold their devices near a POS machine with a Unionpay’s built-in chipset.
McDonald’s said on Thursday that it will accept this payment in 1,700 restaurants in China. Apple also lists Lane Crawford, Carrefour, 7-Eleven, Burger King, and KFC among the merchants already accepting in-store Apple Pay in China.
Several Chinese Internet firms also began accepting Apple Pay. Chinese restaurant review and group buying services Meituan and Dazhongdianping and online retailer dangdang.com have also launched its version for Apple Pay.
The project failed to gain a sizable share of the mobile payment market, in part because of different technical standards (标准) employed by telecom operators and lack of merchant interest.
“It’s fast and no password is required. All I need to do is place my iPhone in front of the POS machine, put my fingers on the Touch ID and it’s done.” said Wang Tian, an office worker who bought lunch at KFC using Apple Pay on Thursday in Beijing.
“Curiosity (好奇) will surely drive a lot of sign-ups to Apple Pay, but the key challenge for Apple and UnionPay is how to turn this initial interest into deep-rooted habits in the long term.” said Sandy Shen, research director at tech consultancy firm Gartner.

【推荐3】Painting Master Class examines 100 of the most fascinating paintings by the world’s greatest artists, exploring the way they were made, and how and what we can learn from them with detailed analyses. Below are the four masterpieces students prefer.
The Empire of Light is a series of paintings by Belgian artist René Magritte. Between 1953 and 1954, he painted the same scene 27 times. It shows a beautiful house lit by lights from inside, surrounded by the darkness of night. What is strange is that above the house and the tree, we see a daytime sky full of brightness and soft white clouds.
Racing Horse is a painting by Xu Beihong. In 1941 he painted a racing horse running at a high speed like a missile across the sky. The horse in the masterpiece is painted with a typical Western perspective but very traditional Chinese ink brushwork. Xu cleverly drew in black ink to show the moving hair on the horse’s mane and tail.
The Starry Night was painted in June 1889 when Vincent van Gogh was staying at a home for the mental illness. Van Gogh painted what he saw from his window — the night sky with clouds, stars and a moon. Influenced by Impressionism, he also painted the massive circles of white and yellow racing across the sky. Beneath this amazing sky, we see a sleeping village and a dark, lonely tree. His unusual use of colour has led experts to think that Van Gogh’s mental illness may have affected his sense of sight.
The Scream was painted by Edvard Munch in 1893. What makes it striking is that it shows a thin figure with an expression of fear — the figure’s mouth is wide open and letting out a powerful scream. This figure is set on a bridge above a dark, stormy sea, and against an orange-red sky. Many experts say that The Scream is connected to Munch’s mental health problems, which caused him a lot of pain.
1. Which of the following was painted latest?| A．The Scream. | B．The Starry Night. | C．Racing Horse. | D．The Empire of Light. |
| A．Edvard Munch’s. | B．Vincent van Gogh’s. | C．Xu Beihong’s. | D．René Magritte’s. |
| A．An ink painting of stars. | B．A series of paintings about the night sky. |
| C．A painting inspired by Impressionism. | D．A figure painting of Vincent van Gogh. |
