I hear many parents say that their teenagers（十几岁的少年）are too independent. 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 one 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 the reason for thinking or acting in thus-and-such a way is that the crowd is doing it. They have come out of their cocoon（蚕茧）?--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 teenage 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（奖励）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（古典的）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.

(1) B 主旨大意题。本文主要分析teenagers（十几岁的青少年）的独立意识。作者在文章末段明确提出自己的观点，从全段人称代词“you”和“yourself”可推知写作对象为青少年。(2) B 细节理解题。最后一段中“Find yourself. Be yourself．”两句可以看出全文表明了青少年应找回自己，不盲目反叛父母和跟从同龄人的意见行事。(3) A 细节理解题。B项的依据在倒数第二段最后两句；C项的依据在最后一段“you may...with your classmates”一句；D项的依据在文章第二段，只有A项与文章最后两句意义相悖。(4) B 词义推测题。“popularity”意为“受欢迎，受爱戴”，末段最后两句意为“只有你成为自己之后，别人才会喜欢你。而成为自己才会受欢迎。”counts在此意为“有意义”。 |
