28、he centre.You may not use any of the words in the bank more than once.Questions 26 to 35 are based on the following passage.Lets say you love roller-skating.Just the thought of 26 on your roller.skates brings a smile to your face.You also know that roller-skating is excellent exercise.You have a 27
29、attitude toward it.This description of roller-skating 28 the three components of an attitude：affect, cognition, and behavior.You love the activity；its great fun.These feelings 29 the affective or emotional component；they are an important ingredient in attitudes.The knowledge we have about the object
30、 constitutes the cognitive component of an attitude.You understand the health 30 that the activity can bring.Finally,attitudes have a behavioral component.Our attitudes 31 us to go outside to enjoy rollerskating.Now.we dont want t01eave you with the 32 that these three components always work togethe

34、onA It turns out todays teenagers arent so scary after all.Results of USA WEEKENDs Teens&Parents survey reveal a generation of young people who get along well with their parents and approve of the way theyre being raised.They think of their parents with affection and respect.They speak with Mom or D
35、ad when they have a problem.Most feel that their parents understand them.and they believe their family is the No.1 priority in their parents lives.Many even think their parents are cool!Although more than a third have an object in their rooms they would like to keep secret from their parents.rarely
36、is it anything more alarming 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 mass media portray the young.In October 2000, the same month the survey was taken, the Washington. based Center for Media and
37、Public Affairs wrote in its publication Media Monitor that,in a recent month of TV news coverage of American youth, just 2of teens were shown at home, and just 1were portrayed in a work setting.In contrast, the criminal justice system accounted for nearly one out of every lave visual backgrounds.No
38、wonder parents worry their own kids 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 tar happier than the angry and tortured souls that have been painted for us by
39、 stereotypes.From other sources, we also know teenage crime, drug abuse and premarital sex are in general decline.We of course, need to pay attention to youngsters who are filled with discontent and hostility,but we should not allow these extreme cases to distort our view of most young people.D My o
40、wn research at the Stanford Center on Adolescence uses in.depth interviews with small samples of youngsters rather than largescale surveys.Still, in my studies and others I have read, I find the same patterns as in USA WEEKENDs survey.Todays teenagers admire their parents and welcome parental guidan
41、ce about important matters such as career choicethough certainly not Morn and Dads advice on matters of personal taste, such as music or fashion.When we ask teens to choose a hero, they usually select an older family member rather than a remote public figure.Most teens say they enjoy the company of
42、both parents and friends. E Contrary to some stereotypes, 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 them volunteer for community service with disadvantaged people.
43、One prevalent quality we have round in teens statements 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 sprat of harmony a change from
44、our more turbulent past?A mere generation ago, parent。child relations were described as“the generation gap”.Yet even then reports of widespread youth rebellion were overdone：Most kids in the60s and70s shared their parents basic values.Still.it is true that American families are growing closer at the
45、 dawn of this new millennium(千年).Perhaps there is less to fight about, with the country in a period of tranquility and the dangers of drug abuse and other unwholesome behavior well known.Perhaps in the face of impersonal and intimidating globalization,a young persons family feels more like a friendl
46、y haven than an oppressive trap.And perhaps parents are acting more like parents than in the recent past.within just the past five years.I have noticed parents returning to a belief that teenagers need the guidance of elders rather than the liberal.“anything goes” mode of childrearing that became po
47、pular in the second half of the 20th century.G But missing from all these data is the sense that todays young care very much about their country,about the broader 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 often at the expense of a connection with the present and future world beyond, including the society they will one day inherit. H Recently,we examined mo
