19.They like using the Internet.They have lots of pocket money to spend.And they spend a higher proportion of it online than the rest of us.Teenagers are just the sort of people an online seller is interested in,and the things they want to buy-games,CDs and clothing-are easily sold on the Web.But paying online is a tricky business for consumers who are too young to own credit cards.Most have to use a parent's card.They want a service that allows them to spend money.
That may come sooner than they think:new ways to take pocket money into cyber (网络的) space are coming out rapidly on both sides of the Atlantic.If successful,these products can stimulate (刺激)online sales.
In general,teenagers spend huge amounts:153bn (billion) in the US last year and£20bn annually in the UK.Most teenagers have access to the Internet at home or at school-88 percent in the US,69 percent in the UK.According to the Jupiter Research,one in eight of those with Internet access has bought something online-mainly CDs and books.
In most cases,parents pay for these purchases with credit cards,an arrangement that is often unsatisfactory for them and their children.Pressing parents to spend online is less productive than pressing on the high street.They are more likely to ask"Why?"if you ask to spend some money online.
One way to help teenagers change notes and coins into cyber cash is through prepaid cards such as Internet Cash in the US and Smart cards in the UK.Similar to those for pay-as-you-go mobile telephones,they are sold in amounts such as£20 or $50 with a concealed (隐藏的) 14-digit number that can be used to load the cash into an online account.

14.Attitude is a way that we think and feel about someone,or a way that we behave.We all have great potential and we all desire good results from our efforts.Each of us has the ability to put our unique human potential into action and to acquire a desired result.But the one thing that determines the level of our potential,and that predicts the quality of the result we receive is our attitude.
With a positive attitude we experience pleasant and happy feelings.This brings brightness to the eyes,more energy,and happiness.Our whole being broadcasts good will and happiness.We believe we will have a bright future.Even our health is affected in a beneficial way.
A negative attitude creates unhappy feelings,moods and behavior.When the mind is negative,poisons are released into the blood,which cause more unhappiness and negativity.This is the way to failure,frustration and disappointment.
People can affect our attitude by teaching us poor thinking habits or unintentionally misinforming us or providing us with negative sources of influence,but no one can control our attitude unless we voluntarily give in to that control.No one else"makes us angry."We make ourselves angry when we give in to control of our attitude.What someone else may have done is irrelevant.We choose,not they.They merely put our attitude to a test.If we select a changeable attitude by becoming unfriendly,angry,jealous or suspicious,then we have failed the test.If we condemn ourselves by believing that we are unworthy,then again,we have failed the test.
If we care at all about ourselves,then we must accept full responsibility for our own feelings.We must learn to guard against those feelings that have the possibility to lead our attitude down the wrong path and to strengthen those feelings that can lead us confidently into a better future.
If we want to receive the rewards the future holds in trust for us,then we must exercise the most important choice given to us as members of the human race by maintaining (维持) full control over our attitude.
Having the right attitude is one of the basics that success requires.The combination of a sound personal philosophy and a positive attitude about ourselves and the world around us gives us an inner strength and a firm resolve (决心) that influences all the other areas of our existence.
Attitude Is Everything
