you should be learning how to stand on your own two feet. but take a look at the present rebellion. it seems that teenagers are all taking the same way of showing that they disagree with their parents. instead of striking out boldly（大胆地） on their own, most of them are clutching at (紧握) one anothers hands for reassurance.they claim that they want to dress as they please. but they all wear the same clothes. they set off in new directions in musil. but somehow they all end up crowded round listening to the same record. their reason for thinking or acting in thusandsuch a way is that the crowd is doing it. they have come out of their cocoon into a lager 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 had firmly carved out a teenager market. these days every teenager can learn from the advertisements what a teen ager should have and be. and many of todays parents have come toward high marks for the popularity of their children. all this adds up to a great barrier for the teen ager who wants to find his or her own path.but the barrier is worth climbing 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 dont 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 is the only kind of popularity that really counts.56through

used to be a usual activity. i would return from school and spend the expected half hour recording the days events, feelings, and impressions in my little blue diary. i did not really need to express my emotions by way of words, but i gained a certain satisfaction from seeing my experiences forever recorded on paper. after all, isnt accumulating memories a way of preserving the past?when i was thirteen years old, i went on a long journey on foot in a great valley, wellequipped with pens, a diary, and a camera. during the trip, i was busy recording every incident, name and place i came across. i felt proud to be spending my time productively, dutifully preserving for future generations a detailed description of my travels. on my last night there, i wandered out of my tent, diary in hand. the sky was clear and lit by the glare of the moon, and the walls of the valley looked threatening behind their screen of shadows. i automatically took out my pen.at that point, i understood that nothing i wrote could ever match or replace the few seconds i allowed myself to experience the dramatic beauty of the valley. all i remembered of the previous few days were the dull characterizations i had set down in my diary.now, i only write in my diary when i need to write down a special thought or feeling. i still love to record ideas and quotations that strike me in books, or observations that are particularly meaningful. i take pictures, but not very oftenonly of objects i find really beautiful. im no longer blindly satisfied with having something to remember when i grow old. i realize that life will simply pass me by if i stay behind the camera, busy preserving the present so as to live it in the future.i dont want to wake up one day and have nothing but a pile of pictures and notes. maybe i wont have as many exact representations of people and places; maybe ill forget certain facts, but at least the experiences will always remain inside me. i dont live to make memoriesi just live, and the memories form themselves.文章大意：本文介绍的是作者的一个成长历程，日记和相机起到穿针引线的作用，随着时间的变迁，作者的感受也在变化。1before the age of thirteen, the author regarded keeping a diary as a way of

and thoughtless employees. your airline should be ashamed of treating its customers so poorly.on january 5, we arrived in denver from houston and checked in for our next flight. it wasnt long before the agent announced that our flight would be delayed because of a mechanical problem. the equipment was in aspen, and they expected it to be repaired soon. soon shortly turned to much later, and during the delay, weather temporarily closed the aspen airport. the weather cleared in aspen and the plane took off very late for denver. while it was in the air, the agent announced that the plane would be used for the next flight and that our flight was being cancelled. this cancellation struck me as being unfair. there was a mad scramble(争先恐后) as the 50 or so passengers scheduled for our flight fought for seats on later flights. when the dust settled, we were wait-listed on the 9:00 flight the next morning. we had to spend the night in the airport. com
