题目 / 答案提交正确答案
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 Waybased charity World Vision found that more teens volunteer to support a charitable(慈善的)cause-56 percent-than have a parttime 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 Tshirt or donating money.Fortysix 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.
