30、作答。The Changing GenerationA It turns out todays teenagers arent so scary after all. Results of USA WEEKENDs Teens & Parents survey reveal a generation of young people who get along well with their parents and approve of the way theyre being raised. They think of their parents with affection and resp
31、ect. They speak with Mom or Dad when they have a problem. Most feel that their parents understand them, and they believe their family is the No. 1 priority in their parents lives. Many even think their parents are cool! Although more than a third have an object in their rooms they would like to keep
32、 secret from their parents, rarely is it anything more alarming than a diary or off-color (低 俗的 ) book or CD. B Such results may seem surprising against the background of shocking incidents that color the way the mass media portray the young. In October 2000, the same month the survey was taken, the
33、 Washington-based Center for Media and Public Affairs wrote in its publication Media Monitor that, in a recent month of TV news coverage of American youth, just 2% of teens were shown at home, and just 1% were portrayed in a work setting. In contrast, the criminal justice system accounted for nearly
34、 one out of every five visual backgrounds. No wonder parents worry their own kids might spin out of control once they hit the turbulent waters of adolescence. C The overall facts ought to reassure us. The survey shows us that todays teens are affectionate, sensible and far happier than the angry and
35、 tortured souls that have been painted for us by stereotypes. From other sources, we also know teenage crime, drug abuse and premarital sex are in general decline. We, of course, need to pay attention to youngsters who are filled with discontent and hostility, but we should not allow these extreme c
36、ases to distort our view of most young people. D My own research at the Stanford Center on Adolescence uses in-depth interviews with small samples of youngsters rather than large-scale survey. Still, in my studies and others I have read, I find the same patterns as in USA WEEKENDS survey. Todays tee
37、nagers admire their parents and welcome parental guidance about important matters such as career choicethough certainly not Mom and Dads advice on matters of personal taste, such as music or fashion. When we ask teens to choose a hero, they usually select an older family member rather than a remote
38、public figure. Most teens say they enjoy the company of both parents and friends. E Contrary to some stereotypes, most adolescents believe they must be tolerant of differences among individuals (though they do not always find this easy in the cliquish ( 拉帮结派的 ) environment of high school). Many of t
39、hem volunteer for community service with disadvantaged people. One prevalent quality we have found in teens statements about themselves, their friends and their families is a strikingly positive emotional tone. By and large, these are very nice kids, and as the band The Who used to sing, “The kids a
40、re alright.” F How much is todays spirit of harmony a change from our more turbulent past? A mere generation ago, parent- child relations were described as “the generation gap.” Yet even then reports of widespread youth rebellion were overdone: Most kids in the 60s and 70s shared their parents basic
41、 values. Still, it is true that American families are growing closer at the dawn of this new millennium (千年). Perhaps there is less to fight about, with the country in a period of tranquility and the dangers of drug abuse and other unwholesome behavior well known. Perhaps in the face of impersonal a
42、nd intimidating globalization, a young persons family feels more like a friendly haven than an oppressive trap. And perhaps parents are acting more like parents than in the recent past. Within just the past five years. I have noticed parents returning to a belief that teenagers need the guidance of
43、elders rather than the liberal, “anything goes” mode of child-rearing that became popular in the second half of the 20th century. G But missing from all these data is the sense that todays young care very much about their country, about the broader civic and political environment, or about the futur
44、e of their society. They seem to be turning inward generally in a pro-social manner, certainly with positive benefits for intimate relationships, but too often at the expense of a connection with the present and future world beyond, including the society they will one day inherit. H Recently, we exa
45、mined more than 400 essays on the “laws of life” that teens from two communities had written as part of an educational program initiated by the John Templeton Foundation in Radnor, Pa. In those essays, and in follow-up interviews with a few of the teenagers, we found lots of insight, positive feelin
46、g and inspirational thinking. But we also found little interest in civic life beyond the tight circles of their family and immediate friends. I For example, only one boy said he would like to be president when he grows up. When I was in high school, dozens in my class alone would have answered diffe
47、rently. In fact, other recent studies have found there has never been a time in American history when so small a proportion of young people have sought or accepted leadership roles in local civic organizations. It is also troubling that voting rates among our youngest eligible voters18- to 24-year-o
48、ldsare way down: Little more than one in four now go to the polls, even in national elections, compared with almost twice that many when 18-year-olds were first given the vote. J In our interviews, many students viewed politics with suspicion and distaste. “Most politicians are kind of crooked (不诚实的 ),” one student declared. Another, discussing national politics, said, “I feel like one person cant do that much, and I get the impression most people dont think a group o
