The evidence for harmony(和谐) 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 （形象）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 had ever been in the past.“We were surprised by just how positive(肯定的) today’s young people seem to be about their families,” said one number 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(捣乱).”
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, 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 is not rooted in real facts. A researcher comments(评论),“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 the teenager 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 writer, 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.

One day an American friend invited me to a party. It wasn’t a real party, it was some kind of informal get-together. Since it was summer time, he had a cookout where most of his American friends and relatives were known to me, but there were others I had never met before.
It was the most embarrassing (令人尴尬) party for me when I noticed that everybody was wearing jeans and simple T-shirts for the day, while I arrived in proper dress with my shoes and my hair all fixed for a fancy party. It was hard to explain my embarrassment to other guests. When one of them turned around and said, “What nice clothes! What’s the occasion?” I felt my face burning hot with embarrassment. I did not answer at all. If she knew how bad I already felt, she wouldn’t have come near me. But she did. Maybe she didn’t ask intentionally to make me feel bad or uncomfortable, but my reaction had to do with the way I already felt. I could have told her I had to go to another party afterwards, but I did not want to continue the conversation.
Many times I thought about going home and changing, but I knew that they would notice. It would be even worse for me, because I knew they would quickly think that I felt out of place. So I wanted to pretend that I was okay…
I had already realized their customs were different from mine; but after I talked to my friend, I was more convinced that people here are more casual (休闲的，随意的). They care less about formality, unless it is a special occasion, like a wedding or a very formal invitation.
In contrast, my culture is totally the opposite. For instance, in Cape Verdean culture, if a friend invited me to his house on a special day, even if it is not a real party, one should appear well dressed or otherwise the host will be annoyed thinking you are disrespectful to him or the other guests. We do dress casually for going on picnic or on ordinary days, but not normally to go over to a friend’s when invited, especially if other people will be there.
After all, I think that my problem at the party wasn’t that I wasn’t accepted by the Americans; but my feeling was so bad that I couldn’t fit in the group even if nobody noticed, because I was the one who discovered the difference in the first place. It doesn’t matter if people dress differently, but I was the only one different in the group. I felt I was the one who should adjust to their customs. After that, I decided to learn more about American culture, so now I don’t have as many problems as I’ve had in the past.
48．Which of these statements describes the cookout in the story?
A. It was very formal.
B. People wore casual clothing.
C. It took place in a restaurant.
D.People care more about formality.
49．This story is mainly about _________.
A. culture differences
B. living in the United States
C. what to do at a cookout
D. how to get prepared for a cookout
50．It can be inferred from the story that the author _________.
A. left the cookout early
B. probably didn’t enjoy the cookout
C. never wears blue jeans
D. will never go to a cookout
51．Which of the following can replace the underlined word “intentionally” in the second paragraph?
A. Patiently. B. Willingly. C. Carefully. D. On purpose.
