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 thinks of advertisements as ______.
选项
A、convincing
B、influential
C、instructive
D、authoritative
答案
D
解析
从第三段关于流行潮流的描述,可以判定广告对十多岁的孩子来说是很有影响力的。 convincing意为“使人确信的”,influential意为“有影响力的”,instructive意为“有教育意义的”, authoritative意为“有权威性的”。故答案为D。
