I heard many parents complaining that their teenage children are rebelling（叛逆）．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 feet．But take a good look at the present rebellion．It seems that teenagers are 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(紧握）at one anothers hands for reassurance．
They claim they want to dress as they please．But they all wear the same clothes. Then set off in new directions in music．But somehow they all end up with listening to the same record together．Their reason for thinking or acting in thus-and-such a way is that many people are doing it．They have come out of their cocoon（茧） into a larger cocoon．
It has become harder and harder for a teenager to stand up against the popularity wave and 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 todays parents have come to award high marks for the popularity of their children．All this adds to a great barrier(障碍） 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 records．You may have some thoughts hat you don care to share with your classmates at once, well, go to it．Find yourself．Popularity will come-with the people who respect you for who you are．That is the only kind of popularity that really counts．

答案：
(答案→)A
解析：文章讲了青少年一方面叛逆，另一方面又跟随潮流，没有个性。作者认为青少年要发现自我，学会独立，这样才真正受人欢迎与尊重。
【小题1】A主旨题。通读全文发现teenager一词频繁出现，可见本文作者想告诉我们的与“青少年”有关，进一步分析首段，其中句子“You should be learning to stand on your own feet”给出了作者的观点“青少年应该学会独立”，A项说法正符合此意，故为答案。
【小题2】C细节题。由题干中的“brave”可定位答案于第一段的句子“Instead of striking out boldly on their own, most of them are clutching(紧握）at one anothers hands for reassurance”，C项“不敢独自处理问题”是此句的同义转述，故为正确答案。
【小题3】D细节题。把选项与原文一一对照，A项与最后一段最后的句子“That is the only kind of popularity that really counts．”相矛盾，故不正确；B项与第四段“And many of todays parents have come to award high marks for the popularity of their children．All this adds to a great barrier(障碍） for the teenager who wants to find his or her own path．”不符合，故不正确；C项与文章最后一段句子“You may have some thoughts that you don care to share with your classmates at once, well, go to it．Find yourself”不符合，故不正确；D项与第二段句子“They claim they want to dress as they please．But they all wear the same clothes. Then set off in new directions in music．But somehow they all end up with listening to the same record together．”描述相符，故为正确答案。
【小题4】B推理题。根据文章第三段句子“These days every teenager can learn from the advertisements what a teenager should have and be．”可推断出作者认为青少年受广告的影响很大，故B项正确。
【小题5】C细节题。从文章最后一段句子“Find yourself．Popularity will come-with the people who respect you for who you are．”，C项“找到一个真正的自我”是此句的同义转述，故为正确答案。
