         For many American teenagers, having a part-time job is an important part of growing up. A part-time job
    can teach teenagers important skills like responsibility (责任), independence (独立),teamwork and leadership.
         Young people can expand (扩大) their social circles beyond their classmates by making friends with
    co-workers. And many teenagers find that earning their own money gives them a sense of pride and freedom.
         The US Department of Labor allows teenagers to apply for jobs at the age of 14. Popular part-time jobs
    include working in ice cream stores, coffee shops, and clothing stores. During the school year, teenagers may

    snack, watch TV, or talk on the phone with friends.

         Success comes from good habits. The most important reason that helps you succeed is what you do every
    single day. Your habits are so important that they will decide whether you are successful or not. If you have
    strong and healthy positive (积极的) habits, it does not matter whether or not you fail today because you are
    guaranteed (保证) to succeed in the long run. Having positive habits does not mean that you will succeed every
    single time. However, in the long term, there is no doubt that you will achieve all your goals and be successful.
         A single positive action will not change your life, but the same action repeated l,000 times will have an

    big difference in your English studying. However, if you listen to English l,000 times over a five-year period,
