2. Joy Mangano was 33 and divorced. She had three kids under age 7, and was barely keeping up payments on her small two-bedroom home by working extra hours as a waitress. “There were times when I would lie in bed and think, I don’t know how I’m going to pay that bill,” Mangano says.
But he had a special ability for seeing the obvious thing. She knew how hard it was to mop the floor. “I was tired of bending down, putting my hands in dirty water, wringing (拧) out a mop,” Mangano says. “So, There s gotta be a better way.
How about a “self-wringing” mop? She designed a special tool you could twist in two directions at once, and still keep your hands clean and dry. She set out to sell it, first a few at flea markers. Then Mangano met with the media. But would couch potatoes (电视迷）buy a mop? The experts on shopping TV were less than certain. They gave it a try, and it failed. Mangano was sure it would sell if they’d let her do the on-camera display. She said, “Get me on that stage, and I will sell this mop because it’s a great item.” So QVC, a multinational corporation specializing in televised home shopping, took a chance on her. “ I got onstage and the phones went crazy. We sold every mop in minutes.”
Today she’s president of Ingenious Designs, a multimillion-dollar company, and one of the stars of HSN, the Home Shopping Network. Talking about the household invention, Mangano says, “It is as natural for me as it is for a parent to talk about their child.” 【小题1】What is the first paragraph mainly about? A．Mangano’s small home.

3. If you are a teenager without a job，you probably do not have much extra money. Sometimes parents will give their children a weekly pocket money for doing small housework，but it is often not enough once the children grow into teenagers and want to do things with their friends all of the time. How to make money is an important thing for teens to learn. If you’re wondering how a teenager can make good money，some ideas might be：
Getting a part-time job at a local restaurant or store is always a sure way to make money as a teen. But getting a job somewhere like this might be hard，considering mangy jobs in local stores are being taken by adults more and more often. Babysitting is always a good way to make money as a teenager，and finding jobs as a babysitter is often easier than finding a job at a stores.
Doing landscaping(绿化)is something that most adults do not like to do，and teens can usually find jobs around their neighbourhood doing the landscaping of friends and family.
Some teens are good at something such as writing or photography. These teens can make money by doing things such as writing articles for newspapers or magazines or selling their photos online. Teens who live in a country area can try raising their own animals such as chickens，and selling them or their products. Looking for jobs can seem hard at first ，but if you have a
try ，it should not be too hard to find a job or way to make money. 【小题1】What problem do teenagers have to face when finding a job in local stores? A．Low pay. B．Heavy word.
