The evidence for harmony may not be obvious in some families.But it seems that four out of five young people now get on with their parents, which is the opposite of the popularly held image (印象) of unhappy teenagers locked in their room after endless family quarrels. An important new study into teenage attitudes surprisingly shows that their family life is more harmonious than it has ever been in the past."We were surprised by just how positive today"s young people seen to be about their families," said one member of the research team."They"re expected to be rebellious (叛逆的) and selfish but actually they have other things on their minds; they want a car and material goods, and they worry about whether school is serving them well.There"s more negotiation (商 议) and discussion between parents and children, and children expect to take part in the family decisionmaking process.They don"t want to rock the boat." So it seems that this generation of parents is much more likely than parents of 30 years ago to treat their children as friends."My parents are happy to discuss things with me and willing to listen to me," says 17yearold Daniel Lazall."I always tell them when I"m going out clubbing.As long as they know what I"m doing, they"re fine with it." Susan Crome, who is now 21, agrees."Looking back on the last 10 years, there was a lot of what you could call negotiation.For example, as long as I"d done all my homework, I could go out on a Saturday night.But I think my grandparents were a lot stricter with my parents than that." Maybe this positive view of family life should not be unexpected.It is possible that the idea of teenagers rebellion is not rooted in real facts.A researcher comments, "Our surprise that teenagers say they get along well with their parents comes because of a brief period in our social history when teenagers were regarded as different beings.But that idea of rebelling and breaking away from their parents really only happened during that one time in the 1960s when everyone rebelled.The normal situation throughout history has been a smooth change from helping out with the family business to taking it over." 1. What is the popular images of teenagers today? A. They worry about school. B. They dislike living with their parents. C. They have to be locked in to avoid troubles. D. They quarrel a lot with other family members. 2. The study shows that teenagers don"t want to ________. A. share family responsibility B. cause trouble in their families C. go boating with their family D. make family decisions 3. Compared with parents of 30 years ago, today"s parents ________. A. go to clubs more often with their children B. are much stricter with their children C. care less about their children"s life D. give their children more freedom 4. According to the author, teenage rebellion ________. A. may be a false belief B. is common nowadays C. existed only in the 1960s D. resulted from changes in families 5. What is the passage mainly about? A. Negotiation in family. B. Education in family. C. Harmony in family. D. Teenage trouble in family. | |||

Are you happy? Do you remember a time when you were happy? Are you seeking happiness today? Many have sought a variety of sources for their feeling of happiness.Some have put their heart and efforts into their work.Too many turned to drugs and alcohol.Meanwhile, untold numbers have looked for it in the possession of expensive cars, exotic (异国的) vacation homes and other popular "toys". Most of their efforts have a root in one common fact: people are looking for a lasting source of happiness. Unfortunately, I believe that happiness escapes from many people because they misunderstand the journey of finding it.I have heard many people say that, "I"ll be happy when I get my new promotion." or "I"ll be happy when I lose that extra 20 pounds." It is dangerous because it accepts that happiness is a "response" to having, being or doing something. In life, we all experience stimulus (激励) and response.Today, some people think that an expensive car is a stimulus.Happiness is a response.A great paying job is a stimulus.Happiness is a response.This belief leaves us thinking and feeling, "I"ll be happy when..." It has been my finding that actually the opposite is true.I believe that happiness is a stimulus and response is what life brings to those who are truly happy.When we are happy, we tend to have more success in our work.When we are happy, we more naturally take better care of our bodies and enjoy good health.Happiness is not a response but a stimulus. Happiness is a conscious choice we make in daily life.For unknown reasons to me, many choose to be upset and angry most of the time.Happiness is not something that happens to us after we get something we want-we usually get things we want after we choose to be happy. 1. From the second paragraph, we know to many people ________. A. they are not happy when they work hard B. they are not happy when they drink or take drugs C. they are happy when they possess their own expensive cars D. they all desire exotic vacation homes 2. Generally speaking, most people feel happy because ________. A. they think happiness is rooted in their deep hearts B. they get what they want to have C. they get a great paying job D. they get an expensive car 3.

Most people today are happy. D. Work is a necessary part in our daily life. 5. From the viewpoint of the author, happiness is ________.
