With the summer/winter vacation coming near,many kids will find ways to earn money.Babysitting,dog walking and running a lemonade stand (柠檬汁小摊位) are all popular jobs for kids.But did you know that the last one may be illegal?
Recently,the state of Utah in America officially made it legal for kids to open lemonade stands or run the occasional business.You wouldn't think such a law would be necessary,but in most states,the harmless business pursuits (追求)of kids can get shut down.In 2011,Georgia police officers shut down a lemonade stand run by three little girls because they didn't have a business permit to sell food.Last year,two teens were threatened with fines from New Jersey officials because they hadn't got a permit before they went doortodoor offering to clean snow after a storm.
David Roland,cofounder of the Freedom Center of Missouri,recently represented two girls in Missouri who were banned from selling cookies out of their driveway.According to David,media attention usually helps government officials see the light and let these kids get back to business.But one problem still remains: laws requiring permits and licenses that are aimed at adults are increasingly being used to shut kids down.Worse still,officials often receive complaints (投诉) from neighbors.
So what can kids do to stay on the right side of the law with business ventures (冒险)? The best way is to call the local city or town office and ask if there are any regulations in place that would prevent kids from running a lemonade stand.That should give kids an idea about whether the local government is willing to work with kids to protect these occasional businesses.

Recently it is said that a dog has received an award for picking up a number of beer cans,coffee cups,and other pieces of trash,helping clean up her neighborhood in the process.It's unclear if Daisy is aware of her service,but her help has not gone unnoticed,by any means.
In fact,it is reported that this nineyearold dog has picked up more than 5,000 pieces of rubbish.Daisy has been collecting rubbish for the last eight years,at least two times a day.Coming from the city of Worcester in the United Kingdom,Daisy has become the first dog to receive an honor from the mayor(市长).Unlike other dogs,Daisy prefers sniffing around for beer cans,among other things.She carries them back home to her owner,Judy Owens,who then takes her pet's offerings and recycles them.
“I wish Daisy understood how special she was and the award just marks what a special little dog she is,” Judy said.“She started picking up rubbish when she was around a beer can and I think she discovered it by accident.”
“One day she just sniffed out a beer can,then began picking it up,” she continued.“She gets very attached to rubbish,and she must think it's some kind of treasure.”
Daisy has become something of a celebrity in her town,often known as the dog that helps get rid of all the rubbish.Then,the mayor invited Judy and Daisy to come to his office.“When we arrived he told us that Daisy would be receiving the award because he wanted to make people more conscious of protecting the environment and to thank her for her contributions over the years,” Judy said.“It was such a surprise...Daisy thought this was great and went to sit on the mayor's chair with a beer can in her mouth.Everyone thought she was funny and started laughing.”

Ⅲ.阅读七选五
Around 200 years ago,a wellknown English poet called John Keats attacked science.He said that British scientist Isaac Newton had “unweaved (拆解) the rainbow”.Newton explained how light forms a rainbow.For Keats,this explanation meant rainbows could no longer be beautiful.
1 We often hear people talk of problems with science,or say that it is boring.Some people,like Keats,also say that science takes away the beauty of the world.But is this fair?
First of all,science helps us get things done. 2 When you are studying science in school,remember that one day you might be using that knowledge to build a bridge,or save a life.Next time you use your phone to send a message,remember that this is possible thanks to science.When Keats criticized Newton,the very paper he wrote on was created through science.Beyond helping society and getting things done,science also makes us think in a certain way. 3 It teaches us never to trust our assumptions.It teaches us that sometimes,the truth is stranger than fiction.
When you study science,remember what it means. 4 Humans once looked up at rainbows,and said that they were beautiful.Science explained them,and they were no longer mysterious to us. 5 Through science,we can find new rainbows: mysteries that lie beyond the stars themselves.
A.But discovery never stops.
B.This is just one example of many.
C.It asks us to believe things only through evidence.
D.Science is not so closely associated with our lives.
E.It is a constant search for truth and knowledge.
F.It helps us understand the world in which we live and how it works.
G.See science as a tool to discover how living things interact and evolve on Earth.
