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 of unhappy teenagers locked in their room after endless family quarrels.An important new study into teenage attitudes (态度) surprisingly shows that their family life is happier than it has ever been in the past. “We were surprised by just how positive (积极的) todays young people seem to be about their families,” said one member of the research team. “Theyre 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. Theres discussion between parents and children, and children expect to take part in the family decision-making process. They dont want to rock the boat.”So it seems that these parents are 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 LaSalle. “I always tell them when Im going out clubbing. When they know what Im doing, theyre fine with it.” Susan Cromer, who is now 21, agrees. “Looking back on the last 10 years, there was a lot of what you could call talk or discussion. For example, when Id 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（叛逆）is not based on real facts. A researcher explains, “Teenagers were thought to be different from others in a part of time in our social history. But to our surprise, they say they are getting on well with their parents. But that idea of rebelling and breaking away from their parents really only happened during that one time in the 1960s when everyone rebelled.”（1）The study shows that teenagers dont want to _.A . share family dutiesB . cause trouble in their familiesC . go boating with their familyD . make family decisions（2）Compared with parents of 30 years ago, todays parents _.A . go to clubs more often with their childrenB . are much stricter with their childrenC . care less about their childrens lifeD . give their children more freedom（3）According to the writer, teenage rebellion _.A . may be a wrong opinionB . is common at presentC . lived only in the 1960sD . was caused by changes in families（4）Which title best gives the main idea of the passage?A . Discussion in family.B . Teenage education in familyC . Harmony in family.D . Teenage trouble in family.21. （10分） Habit is any action that we have performed so often that it becomes something that we do almost without thinking. Some of them are thought to be bad habits. People spend countless hours and dollars each year trying to get rid of these bad habits but often fail. Why? Change is hard work and there is no shortcut to achieve it. However, there is still some advice for you to follow.First, look at why you do it. In other words, whats the result of doing this thing? If your bad habit is shouting at people when you are unhappy or under pressure, what do you get from it? It may make you feel a little better for the moment. Or maybe you have a bad habit of leaving your homework undone. The result could be that you get more time to spend on the Internet!Next, take a look on the other hand. What are you losing because of your habit? Shouting at other people is a bad habit because it makes people around you feel bad and unhappy. Leaving your homework undone is a bad habit because you may be punished by your teacher. Having more Internet time means that you are losing the chance to learn the things that you need to learn. When you think that way, youll find that its not wise to keep your bad habit! Now it is time to make a decision. What will you choose? Im sure you will choose to do what you think is more important.（1）From the first paragraph we know that _.A . a habit is a terrible thing that we can never changeB . people take countless hours and dollars to get rid of habitsC . none of the people who try to break bad habits are successfulD . though it is difficult, we can still do something about our bad habits（2）The underlined sentence “there is no shortcut to achieve it” means that _.A . it is not easy to get rid of bad habitsB . there is a long way and a short wayC . something dangerous may happenD . we must cut it in a short time（3）According to the reading, if you want to get rid of your habits, you have to _.A . talk to others when you are in low spiritsB . know why you do what you doC . finish your homework firstD . spend less time on the Internet（4）Which of the following does NOT happen because of a bad habit according to the reading?A .
