(2013·安徽名校最后一卷)
According to a report recently, there are approximately 25.6 million teens in the U．S. market and the amount of money they have to spend every year continues to grow. It is estimated that teens have an average annual income of anywhere from $2,000 to $4,000.
Even though teens might not spend every dollar that they receive from jobs, allowances, or from their parents, the amount of money they have to spend is significant. It is estimated that in 2014 teens will spend more than 260 billion dollars.
A 2012 study done by Seventeen magazine revealed some facts about how teens spend their money. Here are some of the findings：
Teens want actual items. Most teens would rather have an actual item, such as new clothes, rather than something that they can't put their hands on. According to the study, 75 percent would rather have a new pair of shoes than 50 new MP3 downloads, and 63 percent would choo a new pair of jeans over tickets to a concert.
