I hear many parents saying that their teenagers are rebellious(反叛的). I wish it were so. At your age you ought to be growing away from your parents. You should be learning to stand on your own feet. But take a good look at the present rebellion. It seems that teenagers are all taking the same way of showing that they disagree with their parents. Instead of striking out bravely on their own, most of them are trying to seize at another’s hands for safety.
They say they want to dress as they please. But they all wear the same clothes. They set off in new directions in music. But somehow reason for thinking or acting in thus-and-such way is that the cords is doing it. They have come out of their cocoon—into a larger cocoon.
It has become harder and harder for a teenager to stand up against the popularity wave and to go his or her own way. Industry has firmly opened up a teenager market. These days every teenager can learn from newspapers and TV what a teenager should have and be. And many of today’s parents have come to award high marks for the popularity of their children. All this adds up to great difficulty for the teenager who wants to find his or her own path.
But the difficulty is worth getting over. The path is worth following. You may want to listen to classical music instead of going to a party. You may want to collect rocks when everyone else is collecting records. You may have some thoughts that you don’t care to share at once with your classmates. Well, go to it. Find yourself. Be yourself. Popularity will come—with the people who respect you for who you are. That’s the only kind of popularity that really counts.
73. The writer’s purpose in writing this passage is mainly to tell _____________ .
readers how to be popular in the world
teenagers how to learn to decide things for themselves
parents how to control and guide their children
people how to understand and respect each other
74. According to the writer, many teenagers think they are brave enough to act on their own, but in fact, most of them ______________.
have much difficulty in understanding each other
have too much confidence in themselves
dare not do things in their own way
are very much afraid of getting lost
75. During the teenager years, one should learn to __________ .
become different from others in as many ways as possible
find one’s real self
get into the right reason and become popular
rebel against parents

Many French teachers and parents complain that their kids are less bright than they were. They say young people visit museums less often and spend too much time on the Internet. They only read comics and listen to music, and like American culture more than their own. But is this true? A recent survey shows that many French kids spend their time as other kids always have.
Most French teens love music, with 86% putting it as their top hobby, above the cinema, sport and television. French kids read a lot and like different things, from Japanese cartoons to American novels. Many French people worry that their children watch too many American films and listen to too much American music. But the results of this survey show that French young people like their own culture.
As Silvia Berlin, a student from Paris, says, "I love watching American TV, but I watch more French programmes. I love being French!"
1.Many French teachers and parents ________
A. think their kids are as clever as they were
B. don' t think their kids are as clever as they were

2.Most French teens' top hobby is
A. going to the movies B. doing sport

Many parents often say their teenage son looks like a grown man.He is taller than his father,and his voice has turned deep.But his behavior is another matter.He makes hurried decisions, tries to smoke and drink,drives cars too fast and always makes his parents annoyed.Why?
That's because his brain is developing more slowly than his body.Researchers at the National Institute of Mental Health and UCLA carried out a longtime study of normal brain development.They found that the frontal lobe (大脑额叶 ),the area responsible for understanding future influences,making wise decisions and controlling impulses(冲动),does not become mature (成熟的)until the early 20s.
Because of the immature brains,teenagers are easily influenced by the environment and unexpected behavior.So their death rates rise sharply.Research shows that rates of death by injury for people between the age of 15 and 19 are six times those seen in kids aged 10 to 14.The government reports that teens are four times more likely than older drivers to be involved in a car accident and three times more likely to die in one.
Teens may be attracted to drugs and alcohol.Rates of drug and alcohol use are high when compared with those of other age groups.Frances Jensen and David Urion,doctors at Children's Hospital Boston and Harvard Medical School,discovered that adult brain cells recovered (恢复 ) more quickly from alcohol influence than younger brain cells.Jensen said in Harvard Magazine: “For a teenager,what he drank on the weekend is still with him during that test on Thursday.”
Teens aren't making trouble on purpose.They long for freedom,but they are still young.They're still forming into the adults they'll eventually be.And,of course,they won't be at this age forever.Home education plays one of the most important roles in young people's growth,and the influence is most lasting.Finally,they will grow up and become wise adults.
1.Which of the following is NOT the typical behavior of a teenage boy?
A. Driving cars too fast.
B. Making their parents annoyed.
C. Quarreling with their friends.
D. Making careless decisions.
2.Teens death rates rise sharply because of their ________.
A. immature brains
B. brave and impatient character
C. small and cheap cars
D. changeable environments
3.From the last paragraph,we can make the conclusion that ________.
A. teenagers should have freedom to do what they like to do
B. teenagers still require lots of care and attention from their parents
C. teenagers usually make their parents annoyed on purpose
D. teenagers actually know how to make wise decisions

Many teenagers(青少年) feel that important people in their lives are their friends. They believe that their family members, especially their parents, don't know them as well as their friends do. In large families, it is often for brothers and sisters to fight with each other and then they can only go to their friends for advice.
