One of the best ways to pay for college is to find work that helps foot part of the school fee. Here are 4 types of part-

time jobs that provide students with extra income.

Jobs with employer scholarships

Some companies offer help paying for college through scholarship programs. Taco Bell, for instance, offers its part-

time employees the chance to win up to a $ 25 ,000 award through its Live Mas Scholarship. The award can be used toward

vocational schools or a two- or four-year college. Employees must have worked for the company at least three continuous

months.

Work-study

For years the work-study program has allowed students to earn money through part-time work. Students aged between

16 and 24 who file Free Application for Student Aid maybe qualified for the program.While these jobs aren't always on

campus, students in work study earn at least $7.25 per hour 一the state minimum wage.

Paid internships

A paid internship ( 实习) can not only help students pay for college but can also open doors for full-time work after

graduation .According to a 2019 survey by the National Association of Colleges and Employers, nearly two-thirds of paid

interns received a job offer，while just about 44% of unpaid interns were offered a job.

On-demand economy jobs

Known for its flexibility，the jobs can help students earn cash between classes.These on-demand jobs include completing

small jobs， making deliveries or even driving for ride-booking services.Students can typically earn more through on-

demand work，ranging from $10 to $20 an hour.

Jesse Kata, the 26-year-old American traveler, arrived in Peru last March, ready to visit Machu Picchu. It was supposed

to be the final stop on his around-the-world trip, but then lockdown struck Peru on March16, the day Kata was supposed to

start hiking.

He decided to hang around for a few weeks in the hope that it would reopen. He considered some of the emergency

evacuation flights back home to America, but found them to be very expensive. Days turned into weeks, then months, and

still Kata waited.

He made the best of his time. He rented a small apartment in the town and passed the time taking daily yoga classes,

teaching local children how to box, and studying for various fitness and sports nutrition certification exams. He was working

towards his goal of opening his own gym back home in America.

Finally, after earning the nickname “the last tourist in Peru”, Kata’s patience paid off. On October 11, he derived special

access to Machu Picchu and allowed to enter the ancient site with the country’s culture minister, Alejandro Neyra, and a

handful of guides.

It’s an example of slow travel — travel so slow, in fact, that Kata didn’t even go anywhere except to the village at the

foot of the Andean Mountains. Rather than rush off on an emergency flight, Kata accepted that sudden slow pace of life and

made the best of it, simply fitting into the local community and putting in time. He must have gotten to know Peruvian

village life better than he ever imagined-and gained so much more in the process than if he’d taken the quick and easy route

home.

24．What can we know about Jesse Kata?

A．He enjoyed taking a short journey. B．He spent more than half a year in Peru.

C．He showed great interest in mountains. D．He was short of money when travelling in Peru.

25．Why did Kata work on fitness-related activities in Peru?

A．To get to know local physical culture better. B．To coach in a gym back home in America.

C．To go on a long hike to Machu Picchu. D．To prepare himself for running a gym.

26．What does the underlined word “derived” in Paragraph 4 mean?

A．Gained. B．Lost. C．Refused. D．Demanded.

27．What does the author intend to do in the last paragraph?

A．Add some background information. B．Summarize the previous paragraphs.

C．Provide some advice for readers. D．Introduce a new topic for discussion.

The first time that I met a blind scientist. I worked in a program for disabled students interested in pursuing STEM

(Science, Technology, Engineering, Maths) research. Until that point, it had never occurred to me how blind students were

prevented from receiving science education. My daily experience in classrooms consisted of professors drawing and writing

on the board with the assumption that students in the class could see. But what about those students who cannot see or suffer

from vision problems?

A recent paper from Baylor University, led by Katelyn Baumer and Bryan Shaw, was inspired by exactly this

problem.They designed a study to assess whether people could learn to recognize 3D models, like those often used to teach

science, with their mouths instead of with their eyes.

A 202l paper in Nature found that primates(灵长类动物)showed the same brain circuit activation(激活)when grasping

objects with their hands and when moving an object with their tongues.This indicates that there may be underlying

similarities of physical manipulations(操纵)of the hand and the mouth.

Baumer and Shaw found that there was comparable touch recognition with hands to mouth manipulation recognition

when using these models. 365 college students and 31 primary school students participated in the study. The participants

were blindfolded and then divided into two groups, one assigned to manipulate objects by hand, and one to manipulate the

objects with only their mouths. Each participant was given a single model protein to study. They then were asked to identify

whether each of a set of eight other protein models matched the original they were given.

The research team saw that both age groups of students were able to successfully distinguish between models.

Moreover, the accuracy of recalling the structures was higher in people who only assessed the models through mouth

manipulation.

Although this study did not involve blind or low-vision students, it sets the basis for expanding into them next. It may

offer a way to have science become more accessible, which is the ultimate goal.

28．Who will most probably benefit from Baumer and Shaw’s study?

A．Professors. B．College students.

C．Primary school students. D．Blind and low-vision students.

29．What does the author intend to do in paragraph 3?

A．Explain a concept to readers. B．Provide supporting information.

C．Summarize the previous paragraphs. D．Introduce a new topic for discussion.

30．What method is used in the study?

A．Making comparisons. B．Doing surveys.

C．Conducting interviews. D．Reviewing papers.

31．What is the text mainly about?

A．A recent paper about STEM education.

B．A protein model used in science teaching.

C．A potential way for disabled students to learn science.

D．An academic program for blind scientists to do research.

China is one of the first countries to breed a medical culture. In comparison with Western methods, traditional Chinese

medicine (TCM) adopts a vastly different approach. For thousands of years, Chinese people have accumulated rich

experience in fighting all sorts of diseases, therefore forming a unique medical theory under the guidance of ancient Chinese

philosophies (哲学).

The core behind TCM is that the human body's life is the consequence ( 结果) of the balance between Yin and Yang.

Yang functions to safeguard us against outer harm, and Yin is the inner base to store and provide energy. When the balance

between the two aspects is disturbed, people fall ill.

One of the traditional techniques of TCM, acupuncture (针刺疗法) means insertion of needles into superficial (表面的)

structures of the body—usually at acupoints ( 穴位 )—to restore the Yin Yang balance. It is often accompanied by

moxibustion (艾灸疗法), which involves burning mugwort on or near the skin at an acupoint.

The first known text that clearly talks about something like acupuncture and moxibustion as it is practiced today is The

Yellow Emperor's Inner Canon. It is the earliest and most important written work of TCM and is considered the fundamental

and most representative medical text in China.

Acupuncture and moxibustion have aroused the interest of international medical science circles. And TCM is gradually

gaining worldwide recognition. The WHO issued a document in 2002 that appealed to more than 180 countries to adopt

TCM as an alternative in their medical policies. In 2010, acupuncture and moxibustion of traditional Chinese medicine were

added to the Representative List of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity by the UNESCO. Presently, TCM has been

back in the news for its effectiveness in improving the cure rate of the COVID-19 since its outbreak in January 2020.

32．What is the key feature of TCM?

A．It adopts different medical approaches. B．It's based on ancient Chinese philosophies.

C．It helps to restore body's self-balance. D．It's gained experience through rich practice.

33．What can we learn about The Yellow Emperor's Inner Canon from the text?

A．It distinguishes acupuncture from moxibustion.
