26、 according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics. Fierce competition, older workers returning to the workforce and weak economic growth are all adding to the decrease of teenagers in the workforce.

27、eason why some teens wont be working this summer is that they simply dont have time.

32、orried. D. Confused. DResearchers in Australia, who studied 1,500 people and their lifestyle, have found that having good friends can help you live longer. An American study of 10,000 students, over a period of 35 years, also found that if you make more friends than the average person at school, you
33、ll receive a higher salary in later life. People need good social skills at work to manage people and work in a team successfully.
