The
evidence
for
harmony
may
not
be
obvious
in
some
families
.
But
it
seems
that
four
out
of
five
young
people
now
get
on
with
their
parents
,
which
is
the
opposite
of
the
popularly
-
held
(
普遍认为的
)
im
age
(
印象
)
of
unhappy
teenagers
locked
in
their
room
after
endless
family
quarrels
An
important
new
study
into
teenage
attitudes
surprisingly
shows
that
their
family
life
is
more
harmonious
(
和谐的
)
tha
n
it
has
ever
been
in
the
past
.
We
were
surprised
by
just
how
positive
today
'
s
young
people
seem
to
be
about
their
families
,
said
one
member
of
the
research
team
They
< br>'
re
expected
to
be
rebellious
(
叛逆的
)
and
selfish
but
actually
they
have
other
things
on
their
minds
;
they
want
a
car
and
material
goods
,
and
they
worry
about
whether
school
is
serving
them
well
There
'
s
more
negotiation<
/p>
(
商议
)
and
discussion
between
parents
and
children
,
and
children
expect
to
take
part
in
the
family
decision
-
making
process
.
They
don
'
t
want
to
rock
the
boat
.
So
it
seems
that
this
generation
of
parents
is
much
more
likely
than
parents
of
30
years
ago
to
treat
their
children
as
friends
.
“
My
parents
are
happy
to
discuss
things
with
me
and
willing
to
listen
to
me
,
”
says
17-
year
-
old
Daniel
.
“
I
always
tell
them
when
I
'
m
going
out
to
a
club
.
As
long
as
they
know
what
I
'
m
doing
,
they
’
re
fine
with
it
.
”
Susan
Crome
,
who
is
now
21,
agrees
.
Looking
back
on
the
last
lo
years
,
there
was
a
lot
of
what
you
could
call
negotiation
For
example
,
as
long
as
I
'
d
done
all
my
homework
,
I
could
go
out
on
a
Saturday
night
.
But
I
assume
my
grandparents
were
a
lot
stricter
with
my
parents
than
that
.
Maybe
this
positive
view
of
family
Life
should
not
be
unexpected
.
It
is
possible
that
the
idea
of
teenage
rebellion
is
not
rooted
in
real
facts
.
A
researcher
commen
ts
,
Our
surprise
that
teenagers
say
they
get
along
well
with
their
parents
comes
because
of
a
brief
period
in
our
social
history
when
teenagers
were
regarded
as
diverse
beings
.
But
that
idea
of
rebelling
and
breaking
away
from
their
parents
really
only
happened
during
that
one
time
in
the
1960
s
when
everyone
rebelled
.
The
normal
situation
throughout
history
has
been
a
smooth
change
from
helping
out
with
the
family
business
to
taking
it
over
.
在一些家庭中，和谐的证据
(
the
evidence
for
harmony
)
可能不明显
(
not
obvious
)
。但是似乎
五分之四的年轻入与他们的
(
their
)
父母处得来，这与普遍持有的不幸福的未成年
人形象相反
(
be
opposite
to
)
。在人们印象中，他们总是在无休止的家庭争吵
(
endless
family
quarrels
)
后被父母
锁在家中。
一项新的对于年轻人态度的重要研究令人惊讶地显示他们的家庭生活
(
family
life
)
比以前更和谐。
“我们惊讶地发现今
天的年轻人对于家庭所持的态试非常积极，”一位研究小组的成员说。原以为他们会
叛逆
、
自私
(
selfish
)
，
但事实上他们也考虑其他的事情；
他们想要车和物质商品，
他们担心
(
worry
about
)<
/p>
学校是否能为他们提供良好服务
(
ser
ve
them
well
)
。在父母和孩子之间还有更多的协商和讨论，孩
子们
期盼参与家庭的决策过程。他们不想制造麻烦
(
rock
the
boat
)
。
所以看起来这一代父母比
30
年前的父
母更有可能像朋友一样对待他们的孩子。“我的父母很高兴与
我讨论问题，而且愿意倾听
我的讲话
(
My
parents
are
happy
to
discuss
things
with
me
and
willing
to
listen
to
me
)
，”
17
岁的丹尼尔说。“我去俱乐部
(
club
)
时总是告诉他们。只要他们知
道我在做什么，他们就不担心。”现年
21
岁的苏珊·克罗默认同这种说法。“回顾一下过去的十年，有很
多事情都是协商解决的。例如，只要我做完了家庭作业，我就能在周六晚上出去。但是我想
(
assume
)
我的
（外）祖父母对我父母就要严格多了。”
或许我们不应当对这种积极的家庭生活观感到意外。可能年轻人的叛逆并没有根植于
(<
/p>
be
rooted
in
< br>)
现实中。一位研究人员评论
(
comment
)
说：“我们之所以对年轻人说他们与父母相处
地好感到惊奇是因为
在我们的社会历史上有过一段短暂的时期
(
a
brief
period
)
，
那时十几岁的孩子被认为
(
be
regarded
as
)
是不同的
(
divers
e
)
人”。但是这种叛逆和摆脱家庭的思潮实际上只在二十世纪
六十年代发生过一次，而
那时每个人都叛逆。贯穿历史的正常情况
(
normal
situatio
n
)
是从帮助家庭事务到接管（家庭事务）的
< br>平稳的改变
(
a
smooth
change
)
。

Over
the
last
70
years
,
researchers
have
been
studying
happy
and
unhappy
people
and
finally
found
out
ten
factors
(
因素
)
that
make
a
difference
.
Our
feelings
of
well
-
being
(
幸福等的状况
)
at
any
moment
are
determined
to
a
certain
degree
by
genes
（基因）
.
However
,
of
all
the
factors
,
wealth
and
age
are
the
top
two
.
Money
can
buy
a
degree
of
happiness
.
But
once
you
can
afford
to
feed
,
clothe
and
house
yourself
,
each
extra
dollar
makes
less
and
less
difference
.
Researchers
find
that
,
on
average
,
wealthier
people
are
happier
.
But
the
link
between
money
and
happiness
is
complex
.
In
the
past
half
< br>-
century
,
average
income
has
sharply
increased
in
developed
countries
,
yet
happiness
levels
have
remained
almost
the
same
.
Once
your
basic
needs
are
met
,
money
only
seems
to
increase
happiness
if
you
have
more
than
your
friends
,
neighbors
and
colleagues
.
“
Dollars
buy
status
,
and
status
makes
people
feel
better
,
”
conclude
some
experts
,
which
helps
explain
why
people

can
seek
status
in
other
ways

scientists
or
actors
