语篇品读

If someone were to ask me what it is like to be a student in today’s society, I would probably answer them something like this: Being a student in today’s society is not always easy.

Adults often tell us that we don’t know what stress is. But we as teenage students have our own levels of stress. For example, all school activities require you to uphold your grade point to high standards.

Then, getting your homework turned in on time seems simple, but you still hope to have a life outside of school as well. Let’s not forget about peer (同龄人) pressure. All high school students meet with it at some point in their lives.

My point is, it is a whole lot more stressful to be a student in high school than adults believe. Our “stress” may not include paying bills or taking care of a family, but I’m sure if the adults in our lives could go back to school today, they would be surprised at how much it has changed.

    I don’t want you to think for a minute that there aren’t good moments and memories while we are students. My mom always tells me to enjoy it while I can. I know that the world outside of school is often hard and that the responsibilities are serious. That’s exactly why I know that the focus I give to my future is

如果有人问我在当今社会做一名学生是什么感觉，我可能会这样回答他们:在当今社会做一名学生并不总是那么容易。

成年人经常告诉我们，我们不知道压力是什么。但作为青少年学生，我们有自己的压力水平。例如，所有的学校活动都要求你坚持高标准的成绩。

然后，按时交作业似乎很简单，但你仍然希望在学校之外有自己的生活。我们不要忘记同伴的压力。所有的高中生都会在人生的某个阶段遇到这种情况。

我想说的是，高中生的压力比成年人想象的要大得多。我们的“压力”可能不包括支付账单或照顾家庭，但我敢肯定，如果我们生活中的成年人今天能回到学校，他们会惊讶于它发生了多大的变化。

我不希望你们认为我们在学生时代没有美好的时刻和回忆。我妈妈总是告诉我要尽情享受。我知道学校外面的世界往往是艰苦的，责任是严肃的。这就是为什么我知道，我对未来的关注对我的职业生涯很重要，它能让我为社会做出贡献。

An idea that changed the world: The teenager

《周刊报道》（高考题源报刊）

How did the concept develop?

In 1945, The New York Times published an article titled A Teenage Bill of Rights, which listed a ten-point set of freedoms that US teenagers should have after World War Two. These rights included having “a say in his own life” and “to struggle in life”. In the following years, rapid economic growth in the US meant many families were better off than ever before. So more people were able to buy houses. This resulted in more space and privacy for many teens.

Birth rates declined and parents began spending more money on their children. Meanwhile, teens found it much easier to get part-time work. The result was a new population of consumers with considerable incomes. Advertisers were quick to react, marketing a new culture aimed at high-school age youths. The increasing number of families with cars brought young people further freedom, and fed the growth of the high-school subculture ( 亚文化).

How did it change the world?

Teenage culture has had a major effect on almost every money-making industry. Fashion merchants sell their clothes using teenage models; many films are made with teenage casts for teenage audiences; and music, cars, games, food and drinks are all often marketed towards teens. This young group of society

改变世界的想法：青少年

  这个概念是如何发展起来的？

   1945 年，《纽約时报》发表了一篇题为《青少年权利法案》的文章，列举了二战后美国青少年应当享有的十大自由。这些权利包括“对自己的人生享有发言权。以及“在人生中奋斗”。接下来的几年里，美国经济的快速发展使得很多家庭都比以往富裕了许多。很多人有能力买房子了，这给很多青少年提供了更多的空问和隐私。

    出生率下降了，父母们开始在孩子身上花费更多的金钱。同时，青少年们发现，找兼职工作要容易得多了。结果出现了一批收入相当可观的新消费群体。广告商迅速对此作出反应，针对高中年龄段的青少年们推广一种新文化。越来越多的家庭拥有自己的汽车，而这给年轻人们带来了更多的自由，助力了高中生亚文化的增长。

    如何改变了世界？

    青少年文化几乎对所有能赚钱的行业都产生了重大的影响。时装商们启用青少年模特来帮助销售，许多电影启用青少年演员，受众群为青少年观众，音乐、汽车、游戏、食品、饮料等行业常常都把市场瞄准了青少年人群。根据 BBC 报道，这个年轻的社会群体每年为英国经济注入约 17 亿英镑，而青少年把 84% 的钱花在了买衣服、交朋友、买食物和打游戏上。

然而，青少年的进化并不仅仅局限于消费者身份。青
