In college, time is scarce, and consequently, very precious. At the same
time, expenses in college pile up surprisingly quickly. A part time job is a
good way to balance costs while ensuring there is enough time left over for both
academic subjects and after-class activities.
If you are a college student looking for a part time job, the best place to
start your job search is right on campus. There are tons of on-campus job
opportunities, and as a student, you’ll automatically be given hiring priority.
Plus, on-campus jobs eliminate commuting time, and could be a great way to
connect with academic and professional resources at your university. Check with
your school’s career service or employment office for help to find a campus job.
Of course, there are opportunities for part-time work off-campus, too. If you
spend a little time digging for the right part time jobs, you’ll save yourself
time when you find a job that leaves you with enough time to get your school
work done, too. If you are a college student looking for work but worry you
won’t have enough time to devote to academic subjects, consider working as a
study hall or a library monitor. Responsibilities generally include supervising
study spaces to ensure that a quiet atmosphere is maintained. It’s a pretty easy
job, but one with lots of downtime-which means you will have plenty of time to
catch up on reading, do homework or study for an exam.
Q16: What does the speaker say about college students applying for
on-campus jobs?
Q17: What can students do to find a campus job according to the
speaker?
Q18: What does the speaker say is a library monitor’s responsibility?
Passage Two
Agricultural workers in green tea fields near Mt. Kenya are gathering the
tea leaves. It is beautiful to see. The rows of tea bushes are straight. All
appears to be well. But the farmers who planted the bushes are worried. Nelson
Kibara is one of them. He has been growing tea in the Kerugoya area for 40
years.
He says the prices this year have been so low that he has made almost no
profit. He says he must grow different kinds of tea if he is to survive.
Mr. Kibara and hundreds of other farmers have been removing some of their
tea bushes and planting a new kind of tea developed by the Tea Research
Foundation of Kenya. Its leaves are purple and brown. When the tea is boiled,
the drink has a purple color. Medical researchers have studied the health
benefits of the new tea. They say it is healthier than green tea and could be
sold for a price that is three to four times higher than the price of green
tea.
But Mr. Kibara says he has not received a higher price for his purple tea
crop.
He says the market for the tea is unstable and he is often forced to sell
his purple tea for the same price as green tea leaves. He says there are not
enough buyers willing to pay more for the purple tea.
Q19. Why have tea farmers in Kenya decided to grow purple tea?
Q20. What do researchers say about purple tea?
Q21. What does Mr. Kibara find about purple tea?
