There are around 400,000 students in London. As university can be a costly time, many of these students will want to look for part-time work. Here are 4 relatively easy jobs to bag yourself in London and ensure a bit of pocket money through your university experience.
Waitressing
It is not hard to find waitressing jobs since London has an abundance of pubs and eateries. Gumtree and Indeed are good places for such opportunities. Hospitality UK and Next door are other great websites. However, as many of these positions are advertised on the windows of restaurants and pubs, going inside and asking the staff there about the positions is a much better idea. This will also demonstrate you as active and confident. Rates are around 12--15 an hour.
Mystery (神秘)shopping
It may not have you laughing to the bank but it's extra pocket money. You go at any time as a regular customer and check out the services that the business provides. You report back to the client and they will pay for your purchases alongside 5 —10.
Care Assistant
For those who have a heart of gold and want to help, caring is the way. There's a huge demand for people to spend your free time with elderly people or help people with disabilities. It can be cooking meals or making sure they're taking their medicine on time.
Receptionist
If you're a good communicator and can act professionally, a receptionist might be a great opportunity for you, which will help you build administrative skills and experience. Receptionist jobs are available at doctors surgeries, dentists, gyms, large offices and more.

Lobdell also offered some advice to fellow parents. He urged them to “be as involved as possible” in their children’s lives and to seize every opportunity to spend quality time with them. “Time passes by incredibly quickly,” he added.

On a recent Sunday, a college student Li Mingchun had dinner with two of his friends, and one of them bought him two bottles of milk tea because “nothing is more harmonious with a nice meal than sweet milk tea”.
However, a recent research paper has shown that frequent consumption of the drinks might lead to addiction, which is associated with depression and anxiety. The research was based on a study of 5, 281 college students in Beijing in 2022. The results of the study have crucial implications for policymakers, as milk tea addiction may pose a severe problem among youth, the paper said. It advised policymakers to consider making regulations for the milk tea industry. Measures could include regulating milk tea advertisements, introducing educational programs on the side effects of addiction on mental health, and introducing food hygiene (卫生) standards for the drink’s ingredients.
More consumers are now paying attention to milk tea drinks’ ingredients and whether they are healthy to consume. While there are no national or industry standards put on milk tea drink companies, the trend is for them to provide healthier products to meet consumer demand.
Hu Dianhan, a college student in Changsha, said students tend to avoid research on the negative impacts of milk tea, adding she does not believe such studies stop most students from drinking it. “Just as we know that it’s not healthy to stay up late, eat junk food and sit for too long, we still keep doing it,” she said. “It is a cheap and very accessible pursuit, and it’s not like it’s as dangerous as drinking alcohol or smoking.” Hu drinks milk tea about three to four times a week. She says she uses it to relax after a bad day or as a reward at the end of a good day.
28.Why is Li Mingchun mentioned in the first paragraph
A.To give an example of milk tea addiction. B.To highlight the benefit of milk tea.
C.To criticize the luxury life of young people. D.To describe the methods used in the research.
29.What can we learn about the research paper from Paragraph 2
A.It focused on the ingredients of milk tea.
B.It suggested that policymakers take action.
C.It involved only one hundred college students.
D.It used advanced technology to measure emotions.
30.What may Hu Dianhan agree on
A.Milk tea is as dangerous as drinking alcohol.
B.Young people are not aware of the harm of milk tea.
C.Young people prioritize immediate satisfaction over long-term health.
D.The research will make a difference to young people.
31.What can be a suitable title for the text
A.Danger: An Urge to Ban Milk Tea.
B.Milk Tea: A Relief for Young People.
C.Some Research on Milk Tea Consumption.
D.Bittersweet Warning on Drinking Too Much Milk Tea.
D
A research team led by Academicians Chen Xiaoya and Gao Caixia from the Chinese Academy of Sciences has made a significant breakthrough. They have successfully cultivated the world’s first new rice variety capable of producing coenzyme Q10. This achievement was published in the international journal Cell, marking an important step forward in agricultural science.
Coenzyme Q10 plays a crucial role in the energy metabolism (新陈代谢) of human cells. It has antioxidant properties and can protect heart health. As people age, the body’s ability to produce coenzyme Q10 decreases. Traditional rice mainly produces coenzyme Q9, which is different from the coenzyme Q10 our bodies need. To solve this problem, the research team spent several years exploring. They first studied the developmental history of coenzyme Q, then used machine learning to analyze the Coq1 enzyme in plants. Finally, they applied gene-editing technology to rice and successfully created the new variety.
In this new rice variety, the coenzyme Q10 content in the leaves and grains reaches 75% of the total coenzyme Q. In the grains, its content is 5 micrograms per gram, and the rice yield has not decreased. This research demonstrates China’s strength in cultivating functional crops and promotes global thinking on nutrition improvement.
Scientists plan to further study the application of coenzyme Q10 in agriculture. This achievement not only benefits global food security but also provides new ways to improve people’s diet and health. It also shows the potential of gene-editing technology in changing the future pattern of agriculture.
32.What is the special feature of the new rice variety
A.It has a higher output.
B.It can produce a crucial nutrient.
C.It has lower requirements for soil.
D.It has a shorter growth cycle.
33.Why did the research team focus on coenzyme Q10
A.Because it is easy to produce.
B.Because it can greatly increase the rice yield.
C.Because it helps to maintain cell vigor.
D.Because it is widely present in various foods.
34.Which step is not included in cultivating the new rice variety
A.Exploring traditional farming methods.
B.Applying gene-editing technology.
C.Analyzing the Coq1 enzyme.
D.Studying the evolution of coenzyme Q.
35.What is the main idea of the last paragraph
A.The application of the research.
B.The significance of this research.
C.The future pattern of agriculture.
D.The concern about food security.

Taking a break from social media doesn’t mean disconnecting forever. 36 . Here are some tips on how to achieve that.
Limit your social media time
Completely cutting off social media may be unrealistic for you. 37 . One study revealed that cutting back on social media usage to 30 minutes a day can increase user awareness, while improving both mood and focus. In addition, participants experienced a significant reduction in anxiety, sleep issues, and feelings of loneliness.
Monitor your social media engagement
Monitor your online time and level of engagement. Consider downloading an app on your smartphone and other devices to track daily or weekly time spent on social media platforms. 38 . From there, you can determine whether your level of social media engagement is affecting your mental and daily functioning, whether you’re meeting your goals, and whether you need to make some changes.
39
Plan your online activity by setting a specific time frame for engagement. For example, try checking emails only twice a day, or logging in to social media accounts only on weekends. Some studies have indicated that taking a scheduled breather from your smartphone and other digital devices can reduce stress levels, increase concentration, improve productivity, and boost your daily functioning.
Increase face-to-face interactions
40 . As a result, it can negatively impact your mental health. Having in-person conversations, making eye contact, giving someone a high five, etc. are all aspects of the human experience. As such, focusing on your current relationships, reaching out to friends and relatives, enhancing your social (in-person) life, volunteering, and so forth can develop a healthier mindset, boost your mood, and leave you feeling more satisfied

B.Schedule your social media activity
C.Instead, try reducing your digital consumption
D.This can provide you with accurate user data and patterns

At that moment, I realized mountains aren’t meant to be conquered — they teach us to conquer our own 51 .
Going down the mountain was harder, yet my heart felt 52 . That night, I journaled: “Life’s summits aren’t about reaching the top, but discovering the 53 we carry within.” The mountain had transformed from a challenge into a mirror, reflecting my hidden courage.
Now, whenever I face difficulties, I recall the rain-soaked 54 and the elderly hiker’s smile. They remind me that every struggle is a step toward understanding oneself. After all, the greatest mountains we climb are never made of rock — they are built from fear we 55 .
