23、It seems that four out of five young people now get on well with their parents. It is different from the image of unhappy teenagers staying in their room after arguing with their parents.

An important new study surprisingly shows that their family life is more harmonious (和谐的) than it has ever been in the past. “We were surprised by just how positive (积极的) today’s young people seen to be about their families,” said one member of the research team. “People think they are rebellious (叛逆的). In fact, they have other things on their minds; they want a car or a phone,and they worry about their grades. There is more discussion between parents and children, and children want to take part in the family decision-making process.

So it seems that these young parents is much more possible than parents of 30 years ago to think their children as friends. “My parents are happy to discuss with me and willing to listen to me,” says 17-year-old Daniel Lazall. “I always tell them when I’m going out clubbing. As long as they know what I’m doing, they are fine with it.” Susan Crome agrees. “Looking back on the past 10 years, children negotiated with their parents a lot. For example, as long as I finish my homework, I could watch TV. But I think my grandparents were a lot stricter with my parents than that.”

Maybe this positive view of family life is what it should be like. It is possible that the idea of teenage rebellion is not because of real facts. A researcher says, “Our surprise that teenagers say they get along well with their parents comes because of a short time in our history when we think teenagers are different being. But that idea of rebelling and breaking away from their parents really only happened during that one time in the 1960s when everyone rebelled. It has been a change from helping out with the family business to taking it over.”

【1】What can we learn about today’s parents from the passage?

A．They go to clubs more often with their children.

B．They are much stricter with their children.

C．They care less about their children’s life.

D．They give their children more freedom.

【2】The words “negotiated” in Paragraph 3 probably mean   ________.

A．discussed

B．helped

C．stayed

D．shared

【3】Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?

A．Positive parents

B．Harmony in Family

C．Rebellious Children

D．Teenage Trouble in Family

24、根据下面短文内容，在短文的空格处填上一个恰当的词，使短文完整、通顺。每空 1 词，含缩略词。

You may have asked yourself this question many times: What should I do with my life? Should I be a teacher, a reporter 【1】 a doctor? You maybe have many choices. As a middle school student, it’s time for you to choose one.

However, don’t just talk, but to act. Getting the right job for yourself is 【2】 climbing a ladder (楼梯)-you do it step by step before you 【3】 the top. You need to get some training and experiences.

Maybe you want to be a 【4】. You might start by writing articles and then send them to TEENS. During college, you might choose to learn journalism (新闻学) and work part-time for a newspaper. You might work for a magazine or a TV station when 【5】 finish your college. As long as you try your best for your dream, you will become a reporter one day. Then you will have the chance to go to 【6】 places and meet different people as part of your job.

We 【7】 stop learning. This does not just mean school. Many things you do in the middle school will give you the knowledge you will use later in your job. Joining a club, having a summer job, doing some reading-all these 【8】 are useful in the future.
