Many hands have been wrung about the plight of over-extended kids. In their attempts to become well-rounded as individuals and well liked by college admissions officers, youngsters from grammar school to high school barely have time for play, let alone relaxation. But between homework and music lessons, soccer practice and SAT prep, some parents and their kids are scheduling a new set of appointments. These commitments, however, are less likely to be monitored by coaches and instructors than by the aestheticians and nutritionists at the growing number of day spas and resorts that cater to young people. " Kids are under such stress now at school with life the way it is," says Maria Rohwer of Highland, N. Y. " Spas cost a lot of money, but for a special treat for a birthday, or if you’re in pain, why not?"
Of course, indeed. Formerly the domain of overstressed or over-pampered adults, spas have begun aggressively luring the under-18 set. Offering specially designed massages, facials and glitter manicures for teens, they are hoping to cash in on adolescents’ disposable income and limitless ability to care about their appearance. "So much of the media is filled with beautiful girls who have beautiful skin," says Breanna Ellis, 15, who gets a facial at the Belle Visage Day Spa in Studio City, Calif. , every six weeks. "Young girls like myself are pressured to be beautiful in society or we don’t feel like we belong. "
As is the case at most spas, the majority of teens who visit Belle Visage are the daughters and sons of longtime clients. Some moms even throw spa parties at which their daughters and friends can spend an afternoon getting manicures and makeup instruction.
Not everyone is heralding this era. " Teens could do a lot better by quitting the fast food and chocolate ," says Caren Penland, 23, who visited her first spa in Arlington, Texas, last year. " I think it’s teaching them that instead of taking care of yourself, you can have someone do it for you. "
Many spas argue that they are trying to teach youngsters how to care for themselves. Says Elaine Sauer, who helped develop a Just for Teens package for the chain of Mario Tricoci spas in the Midwest, " We came up with a very useful facial. We really take the time to educate them about their skin. "
The Julian Krinsky Canyon Ranch Teen Summer Program takes its educational mission seriously. Staff members say the camp, located at Bryn Mawr College, is intended to help teenagers learn how to live healthy life, and so stress-breaking classes like Cardio Kickboxing and Pilates are offered, along with nutritional advice that’s given in a Hands-On Cooking course.
Spas begin to develop the market of youth because______.
选项
A、adults have shifted their attention to other leisure activities
B、youth may help them open up new sources for revenue
C、parents give their children more allowances than before
D、youth are jealous of the beautiful skin of girls in magazines
答案
B
解析
细节题。第一一段后半部分提到:日常温泉疗养中心和旅游胜地主要迎合年轻人的需求,温泉疗养要花很多钱;第二段指出:现住,温泉疗养开始吸引大量不满18岁的青少年参与,这些地方为青少年提供特别设计的按摩、面部护理以及美甲服务,希望利用青少年关注外表的无限才能赚取他们可自由支配的收入。这蜕明:他们丌始丌发年轻人市场足因为年轻人可以给他们带来收入。B符合题意,为正确选项。A是误解了第二段第二句话的意思;C和D均属not given类型。
