     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 (責(zé)任), independence (獨(dú)立),teamwork and leadership.
     Young people can expand (擴(kuò)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
go to work a few times a week after their classes get out, then work for longer on the weekends.
     In the summer, top jobs for teens include working at camps, swimming pools and amusement parks. These
jobs are great for young people who want to be active and have fun while making money.
      A favorite job for many teens is babysitting (臨時(shí)替人看小孩), and they can start before 14 if the parents
agree. After the children are sleeping and before the parents come home, babysitters have lots of freedom. As
long as they stay in the house and make sure the kids are okay, babysitters can do their homework, enjoy a
snack, watch TV, or talk on the phone with friends.
     It can be stressful to balance school, homework, and a part-time job. Still, many American teenagers value
their work experience and the skills they gain on the job.

       Many places in the world need more fresh water. Every country is trying to find ways to turn salt water
into fresh. Why aren't there many factories like the Symi factory?
        In some places, the sun is not hot enough. Or it does not shine every day. In such places, other ways of
heating sea water can be used. These ways cost more money, but they work faster than the sun. By boiling sea
water with high heat, a lot of fresh water can be made quickly.
        But heating is not the only way to get fresh water from salt water. Other ways are tried. One way is
freezing. The fresh part of salt water freezes (冷至結(jié)冰) first. To get fresh water, the bits of ice are taken out. 
        Which way is the best? The one that gives the most water for the least money. It may be a different way
for each place.
        Symi's way seems very good for small, hot places. It doesn't make very much water at a time. But the
factory is easy to build and costs little. That is why people in many dry places talk about Symi!
