“ Teenager ” is the new term being used in the UK to describe kids at eithe-132 or 10-13 years old.

More and more compa nies are begi nning to create products and services for tee n agers. The Disney compa ny sells music and film to tee nagers and their pare nts. You can get everyth ing from bran ded lun chboxes and mobile phone covers, to monthly fan magazines and clothing. It 'als about sales, which suggests that teenagers must have more mon ey, freedom and in flue nee upon their pare nts tha n they ' ve ever had before.

Most kids in the UK today get more pocket money tha n kids did a decade ago. Pare nts have more money to give their kids tha n previously, since pare nts are havi ng fewer childre n. In additi on, the divorce rate in the UK is continually rising and parents spend less time with their children than they used to, so many parents try to compe nsate （弥补）by buying prese nts for their childre n. It ' s a bad habit for both pare nts and kids to get in to, but pare nts are un der con sta nt pressure from commercial marketi ng and the requests of their childre n.

UK kids today are very media and computer-literate （熟练的）.A lot of kids have a TV, if not a computer, in their bedrooms. They can get much more information about life and the world. They may have experieneed a lot in life as well, since 24% of UK

kids live in sin gle-pare nt families, so people now say that “ kids are gett ing older youn ger ” . With such maturity （成熟）at such a young age, it ' s no won der tee nagers are able to in flue nce their pare nts and have more freedom tha n previous gen erati ons.

UK teenagers never used to be worried about spending money on clothes. That ' s changed. Now, they are much more fashion conscious （有意识的）and concerned about their image. Many teenagers out grow （年长而不再需要）the bright colors and fashions of their teenage years and go for something darker and more rebellious （叛逆的）.

Surely none of the above is a good thing. The UK government is certainly concerned, and for that reason has strict laws preve nting compa nies from clearly market ing their products and services at childre n.

25. Why are more products and services created for tee nagers?

A. Because childre n have more money to buy them.

B. Because it is better to study music from an early age.

C. Because childre n educati on is beco ming more importa nt.

D. Because more compa nies are creati ng products and services.

26. Teen agers have more freedom due to the follow ing facts EXCEPT that ___ .

A. they become mature at a youn ger age

B. they have a lot of experiences in life

C. they know more in formatio n tha n kids before

D. their pare nts can not in flue nce them any more

27. What is the purpose of the passage?

A. To teach a new word “teenager” .

B. To introduce a new phenomenon （现象）.

C. To advise parents to

care about their kids. D. To blame today' s young people.

Some of us used big desig ns, and some of us preferred to gather our art tidily down in one corner of our poster and left the space in order to draw the viewer ' s attention to

it. Some of us would wander （游荡）past the good students ' desks and then return to our own projects with a growing sense of hopelessness. It was yet another grown-up trick （把戏）of the sort they seemed especially fond of, making all of us believe we had a fair chance, and then always —always—rewarding the same old winners.

I believe I drew a sailboat, but I can ' t say tlyatl withdedttaiatdmired it. I determined it to be the

very best of all of the posters I had see n, and the n I tur ned it in.

37 People watched funny films while doctors checked their heart, blood pressure, breathi ng and muscles. It was found that laughter has similar effects to physical exercise.
