At mails, movie theaters and even motorcycle dealerships around the country, teenagers like Jon Angle are behaving like the fiscal equivalent of the Energizer Bunny: They keep spending, and spending, and spending. Last year, 12-to-19-year-olds went on their biggest shopping spree ever, ringing up $109 billion in purchases, a 38 percent increase over 1990. And the demographics for the teen market are enough to make any orthodontist smile. As the baby boomers' babies hit puberty, the teen population is expected to balloon from 29.1 million to 34.9 million by 2010.
Teens also are earning money. About half of all 16-to-19-year-olds have part-time jobs, according to Teenage Research Unlimited, a market research firm. Combined with allowance from their parents, adolescents average $64 in income per week. But that money bums a quick hole in their pockets. For every dollar teens earned last year, they spent 84 cents. And even when they do put aside some of their funds, teenagers save only until they can afford some coveted big-ticket item. Clair Boetticher, 17, from North Dallas, Texas, for example, receives $35 in weekly allowance and is earning an extra $100 a week this summer working on a ranch. She spends most of money on food, movies and compact disks. And when Boetticher does save, she usually hangs onto the money only enough to buy tickets to a rock concert.
With all this money up for grabs, it is no longer just makers of acne medication who are zeroing in on adolescents. Nike, for example, which consistently ranks as one of the most popular brands among teens, targets its products to consumers between the ages of 14 and 24. And Levi Strauss consults a panel of several hundred teens around the country during its product-development process. If the feedback indicates that the cut on a pair of jeans needs changing, the designers return to the drawing board.
Teens don't just spend their money, they also affect the way their parents shop. When it comes time to buy a family computer, for example, grown-ups often turn to their kids as technology consultants. With an increasing number of children using PCs at school, it's not surprising that parents who buy home computers let their teens influence the decision about two third of the time.

听力原文:W: Oh, Henry, I have been meaning to talk to you.
M: Hi, Jane. What's up?
W: I have a great job lined up to manage the clothing store.
M: Yeah, I've heard of that. So what's the problem?
W: Well, one of the relatives just told me that I can do a part-time in the office of Diamond Hotel in the town.
M: That sounds like a great opportunity too. Why not take advantage of it?
W: I'd love to, especially since I'm studying hotel management. It would be a great way to get some practical experience in my major.
M: And you never know it might lead to something with them after graduation. They are one of the biggest hotel chains in the area.
W: You're right. But there I couldn't get as much money as I would be working in the clothing store, not to mention the discount 1 could get on clothing there.
M: How much is it paid?
W: They only give me a small allowance and give me free room and board for the summer.
M: Well, if I were you, I would take it anyway. You could always get a job during the school year next year to make extra money.
