【题目】

No summer beach vacation in the northeast U. S. A state of Massachusetts is complete without an order of fried clams at a seaside restaurant. People enjoy eating the shellfish, which are dipped() in a mixture made from flour, water and spices and then cooked in hot oil.

One restaurant known for its seafood is Nancy’s on Matha’s Vineyard.

Martha’s Vineyard is a small island off the coast of Massachusetts U. S. President Barack Obama and his family like to visit Martha’s Vineyard in the summer. The Obama family often eats at Nancy’s during their vacations. It seems that one Obama has even started working at Nancy’s this summer.

The Boston Herald newspaper first reported that Sasha Obama the president’s younger daughter has a job there. She is 15 years old. The story says that Sasha Obama is helping the restaurant get ready for its lunch service each day. She is also bringing customers their food orders at a take-out window. She works about four hours. Her last day is Saturday, when the rest of the Obama family arrives for vacation. One of the other workers at the restaurant said Sasha started working earlier the week. She has been using her full name, Natasha, while on the job.

Many people followed the story on social media.“Sasha Obama” became a hot twitter topic. One person wrote on Twitter: “Keeping it real.” Another added hash-tag “Respect”. But a third person twittered that someone else who really needs the money should have the job. He said that Sasha Obama was only working because people would like the story.

The president’s daughter does have a safe team looking out for her. But they have been waiting in a large car nearby while she works.

【题目】Almost all Chinese parents hope their kids can grow into successful people, so they make their kids learn all kinds of subjects after school. Though some kids are very young, they still spend much time doing their homework and taking part in after-class activities. They nearly have no time to do sports and housework or anything else.

Each year, 80 percent of parents spend at least 6,000 yuan on different classes for their kids. For example, young kids have to learn English, swimming, painting and so on to follow their parents’ wishes. Most of the parents think that early learning is good for kids. Most kids who go to after-class activities are under 6 years old.

The famous educator Lisa Houghton says, “Although learning different kinds of subjects is important to kids, it’s more important to make them have a happy childhood. Parents should spend more time having fun with their kids, not just making them stay in the classrooms.”
