　　A) 阅读下面短文，根据短文内容，完成下列各题。（共5小题，计10分）

　　If you live in the United States, the law says you can’t have a full-time job until you are 16 years old. At 14 or 15, you can work part-time after school or on weekends, and during summer you can work 40 hours each week. Does all that mean that if you are younger than 14, you can’t make your own money? Of course not! Kids from 10-13 years of age can make money by doing lots of things.

　　Valerie, 11, told us that she made money by cleaning up other people’s yards. Lena, 13, makes money by knitting(织) dogs sweaters and selling them to her neighbours, and Revise said she had started taking art classes and showing her works to people. People have asked her to draw pictures for them and they pay her some money. Jasmine, 13, writes stories for different magazines!

　　Making money is learning. By working to make your own money, you are learning the skills you will need to succeed in life. These skills can include things like getting along with others, using technology(技术) and using your time. Some people think that asking for money is a lot easier than making it. However, when you make your own money, you don’t have to depend on someone else. The five dollars that you make will probably make you feel a lot better then the twenty dollars you ask for.
