【简答题】
阅读理解。 I heard many parents complaining that their age 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 agers aretaking the same way of showing that they disagree with their parents. Instead of striking out boldlyon their own, most of them are clutching (紧握) 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 offin new directions in music. But somehow they all end up huddled (聚在一起) round listening to the same record. Their reason for thinking or acting in thusandsuch a way is that the crowd is doingit. They have come out of their cocoon (蚕茧) into a larger_cocoon. It has become harder and harder for a ager to stand up against the popularity wave and to go his or her own way. Industry has firmly carved out a age market. These days every agercan learn from the advertisements what a ager 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 barrierfor the ager 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 toclassical music instead of going to a party. You may want to collect rocks when everyone else iscollecting records. 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 is the only kind of popularity that really counts. 1.In this passage, the author wants to tell ________.
