The evidence for harmony may not be obvious in some families. But it seems that four out of five young people now get on well with their parents, which is the opposite of the popularly-held image 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 had ever been in the past. “We were surprised by just how positive today's young people seem 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 decision-making 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 17-year-old 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 me.” 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 teenage rebellion(反抗) 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）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.
（2）The study shows that teenagers don't want to __________.
A.share family responsibility

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）What is the passage mainly about？
A.Negotiation in family.
B.Education in family.
C.Harmony in family.
D.Teenage trouble in family.

【答案】
（1）A
（2）B
（3）D
（4）C
【解析】本文是一项调查研究，新的研究表明：与三十年前的父母相比，现在的父母给他们的孩子更多的自由，这一代的父母更有可能像朋友一样对待自己的孩子，所以他们的家庭生活比以往过去的任何时候更加和谐。
（1）考查推理判断。根据第四段中的“It is possible that the idea of teenage rebellion is not rooted in real facts(青少年叛逆可能不是事实)”推出“may be a false belief”。故选A。
（2）考查细节理解。根据第二段中的”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 decision-making process. They don't want to rock the boat."可知孩子们与父母讨论协商，参与家庭一些决策，但他们不想捣乱”，推出选B。
（3）考查细节理解。根据第三段所给的一些事例，可知与30年前的父母相比，现在的父母给他们的孩子更多的自由，所以选D。
（4）考查主旨大意。第一段中的“ The evidence for harmony may not be obvious in some families. ”是本文的主题句，可知这篇文章主要讲了家庭的和谐问题，所以选C。

练习册系列答案

Now he’s on a mission to feed the hungry in Central Indiana.Lawler has turned his 36acre farm into a nonprofit operation called Brandywine Creek Farms.His goal for the first year is to donate 500,000 pounds of food，which he said is realistic based on the farm’s produce capacity(产量) and the addition of a large number of volunteers to help through the season. On top of that，Lawler has worked together with Gleaners，Midwest Food Bank，Kenneth Butler Soup Kitchen and other area food banks as distribution partners.

Lawler，who also owns a transportation consulting firm that helps pay the bills，says his 15yearold son inspired him to start thinking differently when it came to his farm.“He came home from school and talked about kids who take home food from the food bank，”Lawler said.“My awareness of hunger was limited to the homeless in Downtown Indianapolis.The last place I would expect it is in a rural farming community like where I live.”As he began to look around，he realized that the farms in Hancock and surrounding counties produce tons of corn，soybeans and wheat，“but nothing you can just pick up and eat，” he said.

Lawler and most of his neighbors are selfsufficient(自给自足的)．They grow what they need or have access to quality food at supermarkets.If he needs something he didn’t grow himself，he can jump in his truck and drive 12 minutes to the nearest store.“But for someone who doesn’t have reliable transportation，that 12minute drive could be a twohour hike，” he said.

A. his son

The American state of Colorado is considering a ban on smartphones for children younger than 13.
A Denver-based doctor - and father - is leading the effort. Tim Farnum is the founder of a group called ‘Parents Against Underage Smartphones.' His proposal would ban sales of smartphones to children under the age of 13. It would also ban sales to anyone who wishes to buy such a device for anyone younger than 13. The measure would also require sellers of smartphones to provide proof to the state government that they have asked buyers if the phone is for anyone under 13.
The measure now needs about 300,000 signatures in order to appear on Colorado's statewide ballot (投票权)next year. If it makes the ballot and is approved by voters, Colorado would become the first state to have such a ban.
Tim Farnum said he decided to push for the measure after watching his own children struggle with the mental effects of always having a smartphone around. "They would get the phones and lock themselves in the room and change who they were," he told The Coloradoan newspaper.
State Senator John Kefalas, a Democrat, said he understands the reasoning behind the proposed law. However, he told The Coloradoan that a child's smartphone usage is a "family matter" and not something the government should decide. "Ultimately, this comes down to parenting,” he said, “making sure their kids are not putting themselves at risk.”
Last year, the AAP (the American Academy of Pediatrics) released guidelines for media use by children. The group advised parents to limit time spent watching videos to no more than one hour a day of high-quality programming until age 6. After that, it said, parents should set reasonable time limits for their children and make sure electronic devices do not take time away from sleep or exercise.
（1）What's NOT right about Tim Farnum's proposal?
A.It will be passed by the state of Colorado next year
B.It needs 300,000 signatures to gain the ballot
C.It bans buying smartphones for children under 13.
D.It bans selling smartphones to children under 13.
（2）What's the driving force of Tim Farnum's proposal?
A.Other parents' request
B.His own children's addiction to Smartphones
C.Smartphones' harm to children's health
D.The guidelines released by the AAp.
（3）What's the attitude of John Kefalas toward Tim Farnum's proposal?
A.Positive
B.Doubtful
C.Disapproving
D.Unconcerned
（4）From the last paragraph, we can infer that______
A.children under 6 shouldn't watch videos
B.parents are to blame for children's media use
C.parents should control children's media use
D.electronic devices won't affect children's sleep
