课时素养检测 九 Unit 3 Period 1 Ⅰ. 阅读理解 As the world around them is changing,teenagers continue to need guidance and support from both parents. Studies show that teens who have an active relationship with their fathers are less likely to involve themselves in dangerous behaviors and more likely to succeed in school and develop higher self-worth,because their fathers go beyond social expectations to devote attention to them. Peer pressure has always been a big part of the teens’ experience. Even the best fathers can’t completely protect their kids from the growing influence of their peer group. However,studies show that teenagers whose fathers focus on their lives are more likely to resist the more bad effects of peer pressure,taking drugs,for example. Teens may not like to admit it,but they are watching their parents closely and often follow their examples. An interesting finding explains just how important parents are,especially Dad. Swiss researchers discovered that if Dad attends church,even though Mom doesn’t,44 percent of the kids are still more likely to keep going to church as adults. But if Mom goes regularly and Dad never shows up,only 2 percent of the kids continue to attend. Teenagers face a lot of difficult choices,especially in their later teens. Fathers don’t get to make those choices for them,but they can be influenced. For example,teenagers can learn a lot from their parents’ concern on what to do when they finish high school. Should they go directly to college and,if so,where? Should they consider going to trade schools,joining the army or looking for a job? A father’s guidance brings a long-term perspective that teens often lack to these important decisions. 【语篇概述】本篇为说明文,介绍一项研究发现: 父亲往往会对青少年的成长有更大的影响。 1.
