Having a part-time job is an important part of growing up for American teenagers. They can learn some important skills by doing a part-time job. They can also make some money in this way. Many teenagers believe that making their own money makes them feel free and proud.

American teenagers can do part-time jobs at the age of 14. During the school year, teenagers may go to work a few hours a week after school.

In summer, American teenagers are glad if they find part-time jobs at camps, swimming pools and amusement parks（游乐场）. These jobs can bring them much fun while making money.

Some of the most stressful（压力大的）jobs are teaching, nursing, and police work. But these jobs can be useful for their future. When they grow up, the students with work experience are more likely to succeed than those without work experience. A favorite job for many teenagers is taking care of babies, and they can start before the age of 14 if their parents agree. What they only do is to stay in the house and make sure the kids are okay, at the same time they can do their homework, watch TV, or talk on the phone with friends.

It is important to balance（平衡）school, homework, and a part-time job. Many American teenagers value their work experience andthe skills they get from the job. 66、67题完成句子; 68题简略回答问题; 69题找出并写下本文的主题句; 70题将文中画线句子译成汉语。
