Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, or C to indicate the correct answer to
each of the questions.
 More than 80% of American high school students work at 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 the students can learn the skills that will be useful
for the rest of their lives. When they work, they have to manage both the job and
schoolwork. To be able to do so, 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. High school students who work
are more likely to succeed as adults than people who enter the job market at a later age
with no work experience.
Teenagers want a lot of expensive things: clothes, MP3s, players, trips with their
friends, etc. Not all parents can afford them. And even if they can, the teens might not
