题目内容
19.I hear many parents saying that their teenage children are rebellion(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 two feet.But take a good look at the present rebellion.It seems that teenagers are all taking the same way of showing that they degree 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 somehow 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 narks 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.

Most of us live in a multicultural surroundings these days.Culture can bring us together,but it can also be a cause of division.How does our own culture affect the way we view others?What steps can we take to minimize problems?
Once my friend,who is of Greek origin,went to Sweden on business.He was sent by the head office in the US to introduce a new computer program to their branch office in Sweden.This newly created software would cut production cost in half and speed up the time from planning to production by 30percent,as well as make the finished product look better.After presenting this program to the managers and directors,he waited for their feedback.At first it was quiet.Then,the general manager said,"Hmm,this looks good."in a flat voice."Hmm,I agree,"said another.My friend was in shock.Later on,when he told this to me,he said,"My mother used expressions such as‘Fabulous!'and‘Marvelous!'.These people were presented with a multibillion-dollar program,and all they could say was"Hmm.Good.I don't understand it!"
What was the problem?Culture.What is an acceptable way of expressing excitement and joy in one country is not the same in another.The Swedes were thrilled,and they thought it was a fantastic computer program.They just had a different way of showing it.
Another example:I remember my mother always telling me to look at her when she was talking to me,especially if it was something important.It was a way of showing that I was paying attention in a respectful way.Now,my friend from Nigeria told me that she never allows her children to look at her when she is talking."I want them to respect me,"she says.Who is right?Both.That's the beauty of culture.There is no such thing as right or wrong,good or bad culture.
Of course,one has to take into consideration people living nearby.It is true that a person has to adjust to the country where he chooses to live.On the other hand,when people move into our country,we can make an effort to get to know their culture.Ask them about their country; ask them why they do certain things or wear different clothes.It can be quite interesting,actually.This doesn't mean we have to like it,or live our lives in their way.But knowledge can definitely lead to fewer disagreements and more understanding between people.
When culture is understood and used in an appropriate way,it can give a person a feeling of belonging and security.You know what to do in different situations.For example:at the time of birth and death.Let's give place to culture.Try to know and understand other people's culture,and also try to analyze our own.Let's choose our own way of life.Above all else---let's live in peace with all men!
