I hear many parents saying that their teen-age children are rebellion（反叛）. 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 good look at the present rebellion. It seems that teen-agers are all taking the same way of showing that they disagree with their parents, instead of striking out bravely on their own, most of them are trying to seize at one anohter’s hands for safety.

       They say they want to dress as they please. But they all wear the same cloths. They set off in new directions in music But somehow they all end up crowded around listening to the same record Their reasons 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 large cocoon.

       It has becomes harder and harder for a teen-ager to stand up against the popularity wave and to go his or her own way. Industry has firmly opened up a teen-ager market. These days every teen-ager can learn from newspapers and TV what a teen-ager should have and be. And may of today’s parents have come to award high marks for the popularity of their children. All this adds to great difficulty ofr a teen-ager who wants to find his or her 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 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.

       A．readers how to be popular in the world

       C．parents how to control and guide their children

【小题1】64. Which of the four magazines is the most suitable for a 4-year-old child?

We let ourselves believe that life will be better once we are married, have a baby, then another. Then we get frustrated because our children are not old enough and that all will be well when they are older. Then we are frustrated because they reach teenage years and we must deal with them. Surely we'll be happier when they grow out of the teen years.

We tell ourselves our life will be better when our spouse (配偶) gets his/her act together, when we have a nicer car, when we can take a vacation, when we finally retire. The truth is that there is no better time to be happy than right now. If not, then when? Your life will always be full of challenges. It is better to admit as much and to decide to be happy in spite of it all.

For the longest time, it seemed that life was about to start—real life.

But there were always some obstacles along the way, an ordeal (苦难) to get through, some work to be finished, some time to be given, a bill to be paid. Then life would start. I finally realized that those obstacles were part of life. Little by little, that point of view also helped me see that there isn't any road to happiness.

Happiness is the road. So, enjoy every moment. And keep in mind that __________. So stop waiting for school to end, for a return to school, to lose ten pounds, to gain ten pounds, for work to begin, to get married, for Friday evening, for Sunday morning, waiting for a new car, for your mortgage(借款) to be paid off, for spring, for summer, for fall, for winter, for the first or the fifteenth of the month, for your song to be played on the radio, to die, to be reborn… before deciding to be happy.

Happiness is a voyage, not a destination. There is no better time to be happy than… NOW! Live and enjoy the moment.

The most proper title for the passage should be______.

A. Happiness Is a Frustration      B. Happiness Is a Destination 

C. Happiness Is a Dream         D. Happiness is a Process

The first two paragraphs mainly tell us_______.

A. life is a worthwhile but challenging voyage       

B. so long as you believe you can, you can

C. people tend to think the future will be brighter than now 

D. people feel confused about their life

The writer thinks _______is a real happiness

A. setting our imagination free     B. enjoying our present life

C. finding our own shortcut to success  D. facing obstacles and challenges bravely

Which of the sayings can fill in the blank in the fourth paragraph?

A. time waits for no one      

B. time is money

C. tomorrow is another day  

D. time can work wonders
