American teens are setting an example for their parents through their volunteer work, according to the

Harris Interactive poll conducted in the United States between Jan. 29 and Feb. 2 among 2,003 adults. The

random national telephone survey released this week by the Federal Way-based charity World Vision found

that more teens volunteer to support a charitable (慈善的) cause-56 percent-than have a part-time job-39

percent.

Parents and guardians said 82 percent of the teens in their lives do something to support charitable causes,

including volunteering, recruiting others to a cause, wearing a T-shirt or donating money. Forty-six percent

of the adults surveyed said they volunteered their time and they also inspired their children to volunteer.

Sara Johnson, a teacher who advises students at a private school in a Chicago suburb, says she's seen a

rise of teen involvement in social causes since President Barack Obama was elected in November.

The Harris Interactive survey found a quarter of teens have become more involved in charitable causes or

organizations as a result of the economic downturn, but the economy has also led to cuts in allowances, and

has teens work more hours at a paying job.

Alynn Woodson, director of volunteer engagement at Habitat for Humanity International, said she has

noticed a new enthusiasm among teen volunteers for the organization.

Habitat for Humanity International celebrates the 20th anniversary of its alternative spring break program

this year and is expecting more than 12,000 young people to help build homes for low-income people around

the nation.

社会现象类阅读解题技巧：

这类文章通过写人记事来揭示文章的主题，显示其社会意义，一般采用顺序或倒叙来叙述。题目经常是一些细节问题。考查的方面可以是原因和其中引发的思考。阅读这类文章要理清思路。

1、浏览试题，明确要求。

在阅读文章前，最好先浏览一下文章后面的题干和选项。知道了问题后再去看文章，可使思路更敏捷，而且也便于阅读时留意文中出现的与选项有关的信息。

2、通读全文，抓住主要内容。

在不影响理解的前提下，尽可能地阅读以便在尽可能短的时间内理解文章或段落的内容。阅读时，如遇到不熟悉的单词、词组或一时看不懂的句子，不要停下来苦思冥想，继续读下去，通过上下文的词语和句子可能就理解了。

3、抓住中心思想和段落大意。

通读全文时，要特别注意主题句。每篇文章或每个段落都有与文章有关的句子，尤其是科技、政论性文章的主题句一般都在文章的开头或结尾，插在中间的很少。所以，文章的第一段或开头的第一、二个句子往往包含着文章的中心思想、作者的意图或全文的概述，因此要特别注意，彻底理解。

4、有针对性地仔细阅读，找寻所需信息。

在前面的基础上，可进行有针对性地阅读了。把与问题无关的内容一扫而过，而对于和问题有关的内容认真阅读，还可以用笔在下面做出记号。再把这些信息与问题的要求结合起来，逐条分析，综合判断，找出正确答案。

5、进行合理的推理判断。

对文章有了全面的了解之后，可以按照文章要求以及上下文之间的关系，做出推理判断。在进行推理判断的时候，需要综合考虑句型、语法、句子之间的逻辑关系、文化背景等方面的因素。

6、认真复读，验证答案。

要用全文的中心思想统帅各个题目，研究其内在联系和逻辑关系，并依次审核那些还未打上的题目，确保理解无误。
