4 Summer Jobs to Get Paid and Take a Break
Camp counsellor (辅导员)
Most kids head off to camp during the summertime, and if you’re past the typical age of being a camper, relive your youth by becoming a summer camp counsellor. You can enjoy participating in activities, planning events, and partaking in arts and crafts. It’s one of the best summer jobs because it also builds your leadership skills while you earn extra money. Depending on your schedule, you can work to fit your needs. The average starting pay is $10.5 an hour.
Lifeguard
Spending time on the water is something many people do during the summer. And if you're good at swimming, then being a lifeguard is a great option for you. The hours are flexible, and the pay is great, with the average hourly rate at $11.50.
Amusement park employee
An amusement park is a great place to work during the summertime. There are a variety of positions you can get hired for — from ride operator to food service to booth tender — and the average starting pay is $10 an hour. The hours are flexible and negotiable depending on where you decide to work: the larger the park, the more employees they’ll have, which could mean fewer hours they’ll need you to cover.
Dog walker
If you’re looking for a relaxing job, being a dog walker could be the right choice for you. Dog walking hours and pay are easily negotiable, as you can simply discuss with the dog’s owner what your availability is, when they need you, and what your pay rate is. Getting some exercise with a furry friend will feel more like a relaxing pastime than a job. And if you wish to continue being a dog walker, it’s the job that’s easiest to keep yearround.

As a clueless freshman, I waltzed into my first creative writing course by accident, thinking it was a literature class on how to read stories, not how to write them.
When the teacher introduced the course, I realized my mistake. The credits I earned from the course wouldn’t count toward my major. By the end of the session, however, I decided that I had to be a part of the course. Perhaps, as a lifelong reader, I was eager to understand how stories worked their magic.
But taking the class would be impossible: I wasn’t even on the waitlist. That’s when the teacher asked for a volunteer to submit the first workshop story.
Silence blanketed the room. No one risked eye contact. Whoever volunteered would have to write a whole story in a week. Perhaps they, like me, had never written one before.
Seizing my chance, I raised my hand and asked, “If I go first, will you give me a place in the class ” He said he would.
So, instead of keeping my head down and avoiding eye contact, I did the opposite.
Years later, I’d completed a degree in creative writing and was working on a novel when a literary agent asked to read the first 50 pages of my draft. But I wasn’t comfortable showing her anything; the novel was far from done.
Throughout graduate school, I’d been advised many times not to contact agents until I have a complete draft. In the meanwhile, I knew the beginning of my story was attractive and that the agent might not remember me after a year.
So, once again, instead of keeping my head down and avoiding eye contact, I did the opposite. I sent her the first three chapters. A month later, she signed me on the strength of those chapters alone. She has since seen me through the publication of three novels.
Reflecting on my journey, if I’d trained my gaze only on the path ahead, I would have missed so many happy accidents, so many beautiful opportunities to look up, raise my hand, and say yes.

On social media, reading has taken on new styles. Many readers now create colorful and detailed notes, known as marginalia (书页批注). These marks sometimes cover entire pages and may even match the color of a book’s cover. While some see this trend as creative and personal, others question whether writing in books is a bad habit or a useful practice.
Yet marginalia are hardly a modern invention. From Leonardo da Vinci to modern writers, generations of readers have long left their thoughts in the margins. Such notes often provide valuable insights for later readers and occasionally reshape the understanding of the text. In recent years, bestselling novelist Ann Patchett released a special edition with notes of her novel Tom Lake to raise money for bookstores, showing how marginalia can generate cultural and financial value.
Scientists have also examined the phenomenon scientifically. A study in Frontiers in Psychology recorded brain activity and found that writing by hand uses more parts of the brain than typing. This suggests that the physical act of writing, including marginalia, deepens memory and comprehension. Maryanne Wolf at UCLA further argued that making notes enables readers to go beyond the author’s ideas and discover their own understanding.
In education, marginalia also plays a role. Turkish professor Demet Yayli observed that taking notes encourages deep reading, helps students clearly express their views, and strengthens their learning initiative. With greater autonomy, students are able to make decisions in learning and take responsibility for their progress, rather than wait for directions. Although note styles may appear unusual — underlining every line of a favorite character or marking romantic passages — experts agree that as long as the practice aids comprehension, any style is acceptable. Writing in the margins, far from being harmful, can personalize texts and enrich intellectual engagement.
8. According to the first paragraph, why has marginalia caused debate
A．It changes the appearance of the book.
B．Books should follow trends.
C．Readers enjoy colorful notes.
D．Its true value is doubted.
9. Why was Leonardo da Vinci mentioned in paragraph 2
A．To explain marginalia is a bad habit.
B．To show marginalia can create cultural value.
C．To say marginalia is something timehonored.
D．To prove books with marginalia tend to be expensive.
10. How did scientists examine the effects of handwriting
A．By comparing writing topics.
B．By tracking brain activity.
C．By collecting memory test scores.
D．By recalling the author’s ideas.
11. What does the underlined word “initiative” in paragraph 4 most probably mean
A．Importance
B．Curiosity
C．Independence
D．Creativity

It’s a problem that has annoyed many horror movie makeup artists: How do you give some the appearance of having a second head Seemingly to fake out hunters, many butterflies have found their own solutions to this problem, with complicated patterns and structures on their wings that create what look like second heads on their backsides. Now, in a new study, researchers at the Indian Institutes of Science Education and Research (IISER) dive deeper into the origins of these “false heads”.
Previous studies have shown these false heads help confuse hunters: Damage to the back end of a butterfly’s wings near the false head has less impact on vital behaviors such as flying and mating than damage to the butterfly’s real head. Scientists had long theorized that butterflies’ false heads arose because five key traits—namely false feelers, noticeable coloration, wing patterns that contain special lines, large spots, and headlike shapes—evolve together to redirect predator attention. But no one had traced the evolutionary history of these traits.
Evolutionary ecologists at IISER began by analyzing images of nearly 1000 species of butterflies and marking how many of the false head traits each species exhibited. The researchers then constructed a phylogenetic tree (系统树), which allowed them to visualize how closely related falseheaded species were to one another, as well as how each of the trait evolved over putational modeling of this tree revealed that four of the five false head traits all evolved in a correlated manner, while also showing the order in which the traits first appeared within butterflies.
The researchers propose that the separate traits integrated into a single, complex false head trait because of a common selective force: attacks from hunters. However, questions remain on the exact advantages that these distinctive defense mechanisms provide to the butterflies that use them.
12. Why is “makeup artist” mentioned in the first paragraph
A．To introduce an evolutionary trick.
B．To illustrate a filming technique.
C．To support a scientific theory.
D．To justify a longheld assumption.
13. What might previous studies focus on
A．The development of the five traits.
B．The defensive function of false heads.
C．The special behaviors of butterflies.
D．The evolution theories of butterflies.
14. What did IISER scientists do in the new study
A．They classified wing patterns of butterflies.
B．They innovated methods of studying butterflies.
C．They constructed the history of trait evolution.
D．They analyzed the survival benefits of false heads.
15. What can be a suitable title for the text
A．Do Key traits Enhance Insects’ Survival
B．Confused Phylogenetic Tree Helps
C．Does Evolution Reshape Butterflies’ Bodies
D．To Survive Fake a Second Head

Once upon a time, in a land far away, there was a small village in the heart of a big forest. Surrounded by the splendid mountains, the villagers adapted to their daily life, and none of them had any desire to learn or try something newexcept for a girl named Hannah.
Hannah was an adventurous spirit with an imagination far beyond her time. She loved to explore and would spend hours in the woods searching for new discoveries. She loved to create stories in her head and often imagined herself as one of the characters in them.
One afternoon, while setting out on her adventure, Hannah found an abandoned cottage. As she opened the door, she was left shocked: Before her was a room filled with books! Books shining in the dust and enjoying the warm sunlight were just waiting to be explored. Hannah picked two books and decided to read them at home.
On her way back, she came across her friends and enthusiastically shared her finding, but what greeted her was roars of laughter! Despite feeling confused and slightly hurt, she didn’t abandon her books. That evening, she was absorbed in the adventurous tales hidden within the covers. The following day, she hurriedly finished her breakfast and made her way back to the cottage.
Hannah read the books attentively. They were incredibly attractive, filled with narratives about diverse creatures. Each page was just an adventure waiting to be undertaken. Hannah’s imagination transported her to a world of talking animals, mystical creatures and adventurous nights. She read about characters who challenged difficult times with their determination and characters who strove for good.

书面表达范文
What Virtues Should Teens Have
From my perspective, honesty is the most valuable virtue teenagers should possess.
Honesty serves as the foundation of trust in our daily life. If we are honest, we can win true friendship and respect from others. Besides, being honest helps us form a good personality. Lying may bring temporary benefits, but it will finally ruin our reputation. Only when we stick to honesty can we grow into responsible teenagers.
In short, honesty is well worth valuing for every teen.
