问题     I hear many parents complaining that their teenage children are rebelling, 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 look at the present rebellion. It seems that teenagers are taking the same way of show that they disagree with their parents. Instead of striking out boldly on their own, most of them are clutching at (attempting to seize) one another’s hands for reassurance.
    They claim they want to dress as they please. But they all wear the same clothes. They set off in new directions in music. But somehow they all end up crowded round listening to the same music. Their reason for thinking or acting in this-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 carved out a teenage market. These days every teenager can learn from the advertisement 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 a great barrier for the teenager who wants to find his or her own path.
    But the barrier is worth climbing 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.
选项
答案 我听到许多家长抱怨说他们处在青春期的孩子们叛逆，但愿如此。这个年龄的你们应该不再腻着父母。你们应该学会自立。但是看看现在的孩子是怎样叛逆的。现在的青少年似乎都采取同样的方式表明与父母意见的不一致，他们当中大多数人都“抓着(或试图抓着)别人的手”相互打气壮胆，而不敢独立行动。 他们声称想随心所欲地穿着，但都穿着一样的衣服。他们本想在音乐方面标新立异，结果却扎堆般地听着一样的音乐。他们如此这般思考和行动的理由是，大家都在这么做。他们爬出了蚕茧壳，却钻进了更大的茧壳里。 对青少年来说，要逆流行浪潮而上走自己的路变得越来越难。企业牢固地开拓了一个青少年市场。如今，每个青少年都能从广告中了解自己该拥有什么和成为什么样的人。现今许多家长都高度赞赏他们的孩子在同龄人当中的好人缘。这一切都成为青少年想找到适合自己发展道路的障碍。 但是障碍值得跨越，道路值得追寻。你也许想听古典音乐而不是去参加聚会。别人都在收集唱片的时候你或许想收集石头。你或许有不愿马上与同学分享的想法。那么，去做吧。找到自我，做真实的自己。你会受到那些尊重你本来面目的人的欢迎。这才是唯一真正重要的人缘。
