35、riends you have in school, the more money youll earn later.The idea that popularity could have a serious influence on ones earning potential shouldnt come as too much of a surprise.

Th

She believed that all this helps you “earn a higher salary”.Maybe thats why some people think the younger generations are in the age of Friendaholism (交友狂症). A woman even complained

40、pulation of Internet social networkers, was to get as many of not-really-friends as possible. For example, a friend might be someone you might know personally but who could just as easily be the friend of a friend of some other Facebook friend you dont actually know.

They are itching to swipe it through the machine themselves. When we walk out of the store with our groceries or pet food, or whatever, its almost as though
45、money has not changed hands, painless, easy.So it shouldnt be shocking to discover that teenagers are becoming card carrying consumers in their own right. The question is, should they?While some argue its best to teach kids how to use a credit card while still living under the family roof, not every
46、one agrees. Dave Ramsey, financial expert says getting credit card for your teenager is actually “an excellent way to teach him or her to be financially irresponsible.”Now parents are required to co-sign on credit cards for children under 21. “If their name is on the credit card, then the parent may
47、 say, Hey, my name is on this. Dont get me into trouble,” says Mary Beth Pinto, a marketing professor. “When parents were the co-obligors (共同借贷人), the children caused less debt. If the parents are the co-obligors, the tendency is that the parents were explaining how to use the cards.” Still, Pinto b
48、elieves parents should start the process much earlier. “Yes, there has to be teaching going on and it has to start when theyre younger. Youre not going to get rid of credit cards. They are here to stay. You have to have them. You cant fight progress,” Pinto said.Ramsey, however, disagrees. “Throwing
49、 teens into a pool of (credit) sharks is a sure way to guarantee a life-time of heartache.” he said, “You can make online purchases and rent a car with a credit card. Of course, you must have money in your bank account before you can make a purchase with a credit card. But paying for things with mon

54、ul clubs and taste-filled restaurants. The island activities range from surfing lessons to swimming.

Yew rushed the creature to the ICU of an animal hospital, where he stayed until Yew could no longer afford to keep him there. However, Bugsy needed further treatment, so Yew built his o
58、wn ICU in his apartment and gave the sick creature treatment himself until his companion, Bugsy recovered a few days later.Since then, the doctor and the dog have been inseparate. “As a matter of fact, saving Bugsys life created unconditional trust between him and me.” Yew says, “He knows I will tak
59、e care of him whatever happens.”That may be what fuels Bugsys spirit. The pair surf together every week and have shared other experiences, including skydiving. At Yews wedding to Aimee Kim last year, Bugsy, dressed in an elegant suit, carried the rings for them.Yew and Bugsy have given up skydiving,
