items rose to 39 percent. That goes up from 26 percent between 2011 and 2024. Families with school-age kids will most likely spend an average of $630.36 this year. It is down 6 percent from last year. The results have shown drops for four out of the past seven years.
Teens’ behavior is similar to how their parents learned to shop since 2008. That was when retailers pushed discounts. The idea was to get people to buy during the downturn. It helped draw shoppers. But it also got them to love deals. The change made it hard for stores to make money. That is because the discounts cut into the amount of money they made. The shift is changing how stores market to teens. Normally stores’ promotions would end around Labor Day. Now they are making them go through September. They are also pulling together complete outfits from different brands in stores. It makes it easier for teens to buy different looks. And they are using social media campaigns to be more easily seen by teens. Teens no longer want to look exactly like their friends. They want to personalize their looks. That behavior makes it hard for retailers to influence specific looks. Retailers have to do more marketing to attract teens.

书面表达 （满分25分）
阅读下面的短文，然后按照要求写一篇150词左右的英语短文。
To many people even the word“work”sounds unpleasant, not necessarily because they are lazy. The same man, who dislikes his job in the factory or even in the office, may work hard at the weekend, painting the house or digging the garden.
What is the reason, then? In most cases, it is because these people simply do not enjoy the job they are doing. It does not give them any real satisfaction. It may be quite easy, like making up wooden boxes, but it is very boring. Very often they are doing a job which is just a small part of a much larger one, such as attaching a door handle to a car. But the part they play in actually making the car is so small that they can never say: I have made something!
Yet in modern society somebody has to do ordinary jobs such as
cleaning streets because this is the way society is organized. No matter how ordinary a job is, it plays a part in society and therefore deserves our due respect. Society cannot function a single day without the“dull and boring”jobs. [写作内容]

Possible version:
Demonstrating a phenomenon that the majority of citizens consider an ordinary job boring or even valueless, the passage highlights the importance of mundane and sundry jobs in society and asks for our respect for these jobs.
Cleaners, the most“well-known”“ordinary”workers, are confronted with numerous hardships while doing their share. When the city is still sleeping soundly before the dawn comes on, it is the cleaners who sweep the floors or streets in spite of the chilly wind or the heavy rain. When the scenic spots are contaminated with different kinds of garbage after the sun sets, it is the cleaners who deal with the pollution despite the stink. Were there no cleaners, an inevitable deterioration in environment would occur. Undoubtedly, the streets would be full of disgusting rubbish with rats or flies here and there. What’s worse, with natural environment degrading, citizens would suffer from the spread of diseases, a horrible disaster that could be devastating.
From my perspective, ordinary jobs are anything but ordinary in contemporary society. For one thing, these jobs, with essential functions respectively, contribute to the achievement of various ecological, economic, and social goals that humanity has set for itself. For another, these jobs, which are worth our enthusiasm and respect, also provide a chance to realize our value or fulfill our dreams.
