22、the bank more than once.Lets say you love roller-skating.Just the thought of 26 on your roller-skates brings a smile to your face.You alsoknow that roller-skating is excellent exercise.You have a 27 attitudetoward it.This description of roller-skating 28 the three components of an attitude:affect,co

23、gnition,and behavior.Youlove the activity;its great fun.These feelings 29 the affective or emotional component;they are an importantingredient in attitudes.The knowledge we have about the object constitutes the cognitive component of an attitude.You understand the health 30 that the activity can bri

28、nformation given in one of the paragraphs.Identify the paragraph from which the information is derived.You may choose a paragraph more than once.Each paragraph is marked with a letter.Answer the questions bymarking the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet 2.The Changing GenerationA It turns out toda

29、ys teenagers arent so scary after all.Results of USA WEEKENDs Teens&Parents survey reveal ageneration of young people who get along well with their parents and approve of the way theyre being raised.Theythink of their parents with affection and respect.They speak with Mom or Dad when they have a pro

30、blem.Most feelthat their parents understand them,and they believe their family is the No.1 priority in their parents lives.Manyeven think their parents are cool!Although more than a third have an object in their rooms they would like to keepsecret from their parents,rarely is it anything more alarmi

31、ng than a diary or off-color(低 俗的)book or CD.B Such results may seem surprising against the background of shocking incidents that color the way the massmedia portray the young.In October 2000,the same month the survey was taken,the Washington-based Center forMedia and Public Affairs wrote in its pub

32、lication Media Monitor that,in a recent month of TV news coverage ofAmerican youth,just 2%of teens were shown at home,and just 1%were portrayed in a work setting.In contrast,the criminal justice system accounted for nearly one out of every five visual backgrounds.No wonder parents worrytheir own kid

33、s might spin out of control once they hit the turbulent waters of adolescence.C The overall facts ought to reassure us.The survey shows us that todays teens are affectionate,sensible and farhappier than the angry and tortured souls that have been painted for us by stereotypes.From other sources,weal

34、so know teenage crime,drug abuse and premarital sex are in general decline.We,of course,need to pay attentionto youngsters who are filled with discontent and hostility,but we should not allow these extreme cases to distortour view of most young people.D My own research at the Stanford Center on Adol

35、escence uses in-depth interviews with small samples ofyoungsters rather than large-scale survey.Still,in my studies and others I have read,I find the same patterns as inUSA WEEKENDS survey.Todays teenagers admire their parents and welcome parental guidance about importantmatters such as career choic

36、ethough certainly not Mom and Dads advice on matters of personal taste,such asmusic or fashion.When we ask teens to choose a hero,they usually select an older family member rather than aremote public figure.Most teens say they enjoy the company of both parents and friends.E Contrary to some stereoty

37、pes,most adolescents believe they must be tolerant of differences among individuals(though they do not always find this easy in the cliquish(拉帮结派的)environment of high school).Many of themvolunteer for community service with disadvantaged people.One prevalent quality we have found in teensstatements

38、about themselves,their friends and their families is a strikingly positive emotional tone.By and large,these are very nice kids,and as the band The Who used to sing,“The kids are alright.”F How much is todays spirit of harmony a change from our more turbulent past?A mere generation ago,parent-child

39、relations were described as“the generation gap.”Yet even then reports of widespread youth rebellion wereoverdone:Most kids in the 60s and 70s shared their parents basic values.Still,it is true that American families aregrowing closer at the dawn of this new millennium(千年).Perhaps there is less to fi

40、ght about,with the country in aperiod of tranquility and the dangers of drug abuse and other unwholesome behavior well known.Perhaps in theface of impersonal and intimidating globalization,a young persons family feels more like a friendly haven than anoppressivetrap.And perhaps parents are acting mo

41、re like parents than in the recent past.Within just the past fiveyears.I have noticed parents returning to a belief that teenagers need the guidance of elders rather than the liberal,“anything goes”mode of child-rearing that became popular in the second half of the 20th century.G But missing from al

42、l these data is the sense that todays young care very much about their country,about thebroader civic and political environment,or about the future of their society.They seem to be turning inwardgenerally in a pro-social manner,certainly with positive benefits for intimate relationships,but too ofte

43、n at theexpenseof a connection with the present and future world beyond,including the society they will one day inherit.H Recently,we examined more than 400 essays on the“laws of life”that teens from two communities had writtenas part of an educational program initiated by the John Templeton Foundat

44、ion in Radnor,Pa.In those essays,and infollow-up interviews with a few of the teenagers,we found lots of insight,positive feeling and inspirational thinking.But we also found little interest in civic life beyond the tight circles of their family and immediate friends.I For example,only one boy said

45、he would like to be president when he grows up.When I was in high school,dozens in my class alone would have answered differently.In fact,other recent studies have found there has neverbeen a time in American history when so small a proportion of young people have sought or accepted leadershiproles

46、in local civic organizations.It is also troubling that voting rates among our youngest eligible voters18-to24-year-oldsareway down:Little more than one in four now go to the polls,even in national elections,comparedwith almost twice that many when 18-year-oldswere first given the vote.J In our inter

47、views,many students viewed politics with suspicion and distaste.“Most politicians are kind of crooked(不诚实的),”one student declared.Another,discussing national politics,said,“I feel like one person cant do thatmuch,and I get the impression most people dont think a group of people can do that much.”Ask

48、ed what theywould like to change in the world,the students mentioned only personal concerns such as slowing down the pace oflife,gaining good friends,becoming more spiritual,becoming either more materially successful or less materiallyoriented(depending on the students values),and being more respect

49、ful of the Earth,animals and other people.One boy said,“Id rather be concentrating on artistic efforts than saving the world or something.”K It is fine and healthy for teens to cultivate their personal interests,and it is good news when young peopleenjoy harmonious relations with their family and fr

50、iends.But there is also a place in a young life for noble purposesthat include a dedication to the broader society,a love of country and an aspiration to make their own leadershipcontributions.L In the past,the young have eagerly participated in national service and civic affairs,often with lots of
