     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 under 14,you can't earn (賺) your own money? Of
course not !  Kids who are between the ages of 10 and 13 can earn 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 (織)  dog sweaters and selling them to her neighbors,  and Reisa said she had started taking
art classes and showing her work to people. People have asked her to draw pictures for them and they
pay her for them. Jasmine, 13, writes articles for different magazines!
     Earning is learning. By working to earn 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(技術(shù)) and
using your time. Some people think that asking for money is a lot easier than earning it; however, when
you make your own money, you don't have to depend on someone else. The five dollars that you earn
will probably make you feel a lot better in your hand than the twenty dollars you ask for.

A. 14

     If someone asked you to draw a picture of a robot, how would it look?  Like a person? That's how we
often picture robots in our minds. But real robots look many different ways.
     Some robots have TV cameras for eyes. Some have special parts that help them touch. Many have
computer brains. How robots look depends on the job they have to do. Some can even have their parts
changed,so they can do different jobs.
     Some robots look like huge insects. America sent some robots to Mars (火星) in 1976. They moved on
the surface and did experiments there.
     Robots can do boring jobs. They can do dangerous jobs with fast-moving machine. They can do dirty
jobs, such as painting things with oil colours. They can do jobs no person could do, such as picking up hot
metal. Robots don't get bored. They don't get tired. They don't mind getting dirty.
     Some people are worried because they think robots will take jobs away from people. But that doesn't have
to happen. After all, people are able to control robots. People must remember that robots are good at some
things and humans are good at others.
     Some robots often tell people they don't have to be afraid of robots. These robots help people understand
that robots can do boring, dangerous and dirty jobs and people can do better ones.
