Part 2. Read the following passage and circle the best answer.
More than 80% of American high school students work part-time jobs in the evenings, on weekends or
in summer. These part-time jobs bring teenagers great advantages.
One of the benefits of the work is that the students can learn the skills that will be useful for the rest of
their lives. When they work, they must manage both the job and schoolwork. To be able to do well,
they must be very organized and able to keep a sensible schedule. They also learn to cope with the job
stress apart from the stress of the schoolwork. Some of the most stressful jobs include teaching,
nursing, and police work. These skills help prepare teenagers for their later careers. In fact, high
school students who work are more likely to succeed than people who enter the job market at a later
age with no work experience. Teenagers want a lot of expensive things: clothes, mp3 players, trips
with their friends which their parents cannot afford. Even if they can, the teens might not really
appreciate the amount of money that they did not spend their ability on earning.
When teenagers make money for themselves, they know its value and are less likely to spend it
foolishly.
