The koala is small and cute. It spends most of its lifecycle (生命周期) in the trees. It eats, sleeps and nurses (养育) its baby there, and it only comes down to the ground if necessary. The koala is loved by many people for its small size and cartoon-like feature.
A mother gives birth and raises only one baby koala at a time. During the mother’s lifecycle, she will produce up to six baby koalas. A newborn baby koala does not look like an adult because it is born blind with undeveloped features.
After the baby koala is born, it makes its way to the mother’s pouch (育儿袋) and lives inside. Then it develops its eyes, legs and fur. In fact it lives in the mother’s pouch for about six months.
At last the baby koala gets out of its mother’s pouch, and the mother carries her baby on her back.

Everyone worries. But how do you deal with your worries? Whether your worries are big or small, you can take these three steps to deal with your worries:
1. Try to find out what you're worried about
Sometimes, you will know what you're worried about. Other times, you might not. Try to find it out first; if you can't, you can ask for help.
2. Think of ways to make it better
There is always something you can do to help you feel less worried. Sitting there worrying is no fun and it won't solve your problem.
Grades at school are often top worries for kids. If you're worried about grades, ask yourself these questions:
★ Why are grades important? What do grades mean to me?
★How do I get ready for class? Do I go over my notes even when there isn't a test?
★ Do I have a good place to do my homework?
★ Have I tried different ways of studying?
If your worry is about a fight you had, you might write down all the things you could do: write a note to him or her, invite him or her to a basketball game, say sorry to him or her, etc. Once you have a list of things you could do, you can choose the one that gets your friend back.
3. Ask for help
When you're worried, it can help to find someone to talk to. You can ask your parents, friends, or teachers for help.

Henry was a carpenter(木匠)of our village. Once I asked him to make a dining table for my wife. He made it just the right size to fill the space between the two windows. When I arrived home that evening, Henry was drinking a cup of tea and writing his bill for his work. .
My wife said to me,quietly,“That’s his ninth cup of tea today.” But she said loudly, "It's a beautiful table, dear, isn't it?"
"I won't decide about that until I see that bill.” I said.
Henry laughed and gave me his bill for the work. It said:

BILL
One dining table June 10,2013
Cost of wood $ 17.00
Paint(油漆) $ 1.50
Work,8 hours(1 an hour) $ 8.00
Total(总计) $ 36.50

When I was looking at the bill,Henry said,"it’s been a fine day,hasn’t it? Quite sunny.”
"Yes,” I said. "I’m glad it is only the 10th of June.”
"Me too” , said Henry. "If you wait, it'll be a bit hotter by the end of the month.”
"Yes. Hotter and more expensive. Dining tables will be 20 more expensive on June 30th, won't they,Henry?”
Henry looked hard at me for half a minute. There was a little embarrassed smile in his two blue eyes. It seemed that he had done wrong. I gave his bill back to him.
"If it isn't too much trouble, Henry, ” I said,"Please add it up again. You can forget the date.”
I paid him $26. 50 and he ran away in a hurry.

Sports, drama, and all kinds of organizations keep students busy during high school. Where do they get the money to do these things? Not everyone gets it from parents. Most have to work for at least some of the money to pay for these activities. Some adults question if high school students should have jobs. I say yes, they undoubtedly should.
Some people worry that teens with after-school jobs will have difficulty finding time for schoolwork. Actually, having a job helps teens make better use of their time. Many jobs take only a couple of hours on weeknights. According to an article, 86 percent of high school students have an after-school, weekend or summer job and students who work between 10 and 20 hours per week during the school year get higher grades than those who do not work at all. Instead of considering working after school a hindrance, it should be looked at as real-world education.
Other people think that work adds too much stress(压力), which may be somewhat true, but whether having a job or not, there is always stress. Better to learn how to deal with busy schedules(日程表)in a controlled environment like high school than to be out on your own and alone in the future, experiencing stress for the first time. I personally would be worried about the teenager who has to become independent without having any experience of working.
The biggest reason teens should work is that it is a healthy way of making money. There are many things teens need to pay for and they cannot do it if they don’t have a job. Not all parents can pay for these activities. My dad told me, “Having a job is a good way to save up for things you are going to need or want to do. You get a lot more out of things if you pay for them yourself.” The sooner kids make money, the sooner they can learn how to use money wisely. If they are not allowed to work in high school, they may have a hard time in the future. Teens should, without a doubt, be allowed to work on school nights.
The word “hindrance” in Paragraph 2 probably means “_______”.

A.something that encourages teens to study
B.something that helps teens improve study
C.something that prevents teens from studying
D.something that makes teens lose interest in study

What can we learn from Paragraph 3?

A.Teens are too busy with study to work at high school.
B.Teens experience stress for the first time at high school.
C.Teens are worried about being independent in the future.
D.Teens who work will deal with stress better in the future.

Which of the following is true according to the passage?

A.Working makes teens get lower grades.
B.Working teaches teens to spend money more wisely.
C.Working helps teens to get on better with their parents.
D.Working stops teens from taking part in after-school activities.

What does the passage mainly talk about?

A.What money means to teens.
B.Why teens should work after school.
C.Whether parents should help teens find jobs.
D.How teens get money for after-school activities.
