问题     I hear many’ parents complaining that their teenage children are rebelling. 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 two feet. But take a good 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 on their own, most of them are clutching at one another’s hands for reassurance.
They claim they want to dress as they please. But they all wear the same clothes. They set off in new directions in music. But somehow they all end up huddled round listening to the same record. Their son for thinking or acting in thus and such a way is that the crowd is doing it. They have come out of their co coon—into a larger 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 has firmly carved out a teenage market. These days every teenager can learn from the advertisements what a teenager should have and be. And many of today’s parents have come to award high marks for the popularity of their children. All this adds up to a great barrier for the teenager 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 re cords. 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. [br] The author’s purpose in writing this passage is to tell ______.
选项 A、readers how to be popular with people around
B、teenagers how to learn to decide things for themselves
C、parents how to control and guide their children
D、people how to understand and respect each other
答案 B
解析 整篇文章作者都在告戒十几岁的孩子不要盲目追逐流行，尤其是在具有总结意义的最后一段，作者希望他们...go to it Find yourself．Be yourself...。可见答案应为B。
