IV. Read the passage. Circle A, B or C to answer each question.
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, mp3 players, trips with their friends,
etc. Not all parents can afford them. And even if they can, the teens might not really
appreciate that money because they did not earn it. When teenagers make money for
themselves, they know its true and are less likely to spend it foolishly.

A. Why teenagers should work
B. Advantages and disadvantages of part-time jobs
C. Part-time jobs cause stress
Question 21. According to the passage, what is NOT an effect of part-time jobs?
A. Teenagers become organized.
B. Teenagers become stressed.
C. Teenagers are more likely to have successful careers.

A. fight against
B. deal with
C. suffer from

to _______.
