What jobs can students do to make money in their free time? Some US students have found good ways to make money.
New York tennis player Antonio Rivera, 15, finds a job of practising tennis with people who are not good at it. “You might think, ‘Why would a parent want to give me this job when there are better tennis lessons’,” Rivera said. “But as a student, I am good with children. And I can give my lessons for less money and a more personal experience on Friday afternoon.”
Many students turn their after-school activities into money-making businesses. “If you’re good at something sports, computer, arts and so on, you can make that for money,” Rivera said.
Harlan Peet, 17, is a good example. He makes money by removing（清除）computer viruses（病毒）and taking care of accounts（账号）on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram. He also takes photos of products and puts them online for people who sell them through online stores.
“Really, there are chances everywhere,” Peet said. For example, he’s made a lot by helping some families scan（扫描）old photos and save them on their computers.
If you have skills about art, there’s a market for you as well. Shyla Boehm, 17, makes and sells things that she made by hand, such as jewelry and greeting cards. Boehm has also set up an online shop and offers her skills online. Her friends sell skills such as taking photos and making videos.

9 . Many people often spend hours watching videos on their phones before sleep, with the lights off. However, do you know that using your phone in the dark is not a very good idea? The screen of your phone sends out blue light, which is quite harmful to your eyes. It can also be hard for you to go asleep.
What is blue light? Blue light is everywhere. It is sent out both by artificial（人造的）light and by our biggest light—the sun! Blue light is the part of visible（可见的）light which has the second shortest wavelength. Light with shorter wavelengths have greater power. The strong energy of blue light allows it to pass easily through the cornea（角膜）of our eyes. Therefore, blue light is quite harmful to our eyes.
However, blue light isn’t all that bad. After all, it is a part of sunlight. In fact, it can help to improve our sleep. The problem, however, lies in the bright screen lights we stare at each night. In other words, the problem isn’t exactly the exposure（暴露）to blue light, but the time of our exposure to it.
Some scientists studied the difference between reading a paper book and an e-book before bedtime. They found that it took longer for people who used an e-reader to fall asleep. These people were also less smart in the following morning.
So, to protect the quality of your sleep, avoid screens an hour or two before your bedtime. If you must use your phone before going to bed, keep a night lamp on.
1. Which of the following is harmful to your eyes according to the first paragraph?| A．Sleeping with the lights on. |
| B．Using the phones with the lights off in the dark. |
| C．Watching videos on your phones with the lights on. |
| A．The sun. | B．The eyes. | C．The paper books. |
| A．Because it is artificial light. |
| B．Because it is too weak to pass easily. |
| C．Because it can go through the eye cornea easily. |
| A．Blue light affects our lives. |
| B．Don’t use your phone or watch TV at night. |
| C．Don’t spend too much time on the bright screen. |
| A．Exposure to blue light can surely make you seriously sick. |
| B．Light with shorter wavelengths are usually more powerful. |
| C．Reading a paper book for too long may cause sleep problems. |
10 . One of my favorite things to do is hiking in mountains. Because nobody likes the idea of getting lost, I always prepare before every trip. However, what’s the best navigation tool, a Global Positioning System (GPS) or a good old map and compass?
Five of my friends and I hiked through the mountains on a trail I marked. One team of three carried a GPS, and the other team used a map and compass.
It took the GPS team 3 hours and 11 minutes to get through the whole hike. However, it took the map and compass team only 2 hours and 49 minutes. The biggest problem the GPS team met was that they lost the satellite signal (卫星信号) in some places. With no map or compass, they had to walk around until they were in a place where the signal was good. The map and compass team was able to spot different landmarks, compare them to their maps and then use the compass to point them in the right direction.
When heading out on my future hikes, I’ll bring a map, a compass and a GPS to show me the way.

| C．want to get lost in mountains | D．like hiking |
| A．3 | B．5 | C．6 | D．4 |
| A．had the same navigation tool | B．went along the same trail |
| C．had the same problem | D．got lost in the mountains |
| A．less | B．more | C．the same | D．the least |
| A．the map and compass were too old navigation tools to use |
| B．it wasn’t necessary to bring a map and a compass together with a GPS |
| C．the GPS had some disadvantages in hiking in mountains |
| D．it was dangerous to go hiking |
