　　If today in America, you ask the high school students 3 their heroes, their 4 would probably fall into three groups. The first group of heroes would be the rock stars-the people with rock music. There is no doubt that such people do have talent but one 6 if one should hold up rock stars as a 7 .The rock stars are too often mixed with drug and their personal life is not all that 8 . The rock stars are rich and wear the latest fashion styles (时装). However, one should put more in a hero than 9 things as money and fine clothes.

　　A 10 type of heroes for the American youth are the sports stars. Again you have a person who has a great talent in one area- 11 . However, too often the personal life of the sports stars is 12 disorder. Too frequently drugs and drinking are a part of life of the sports stars.

　　A third group of heroes are TV or movie stars. These people may have lots of 13 talent and are quite handsome or beautiful. However, the personal life of too many actors is quite sad and 14 be held up as a model for young people.

　　Today, the rock stars, the sportsmen, and the actors 15 have become the models of the youth in America. Really, do you hear a young person say that his 16 is a doctor, a teacher, or a scientist? These people are not 17 and do not wear fashionable clothes. However, they are 18 people who work hard to make the world a better place for everyone.

　　What is really sad is that the young try to 19 their idols (偶像) .They like to wear the same clothes as theirs. If the idols today for the American youth are 20 only to rock stars, sportsmen and actors, the future of the youth, as well as the nation, does not look too bright.

　　It interests me to watch the way children so often act against their parents’ ideas, while at the same time 1 their parents’, characteristics (特征). That is to say, the children grow up to 2 views different from their parents’, yet to have 3 personalities. There is a quarrel 4 on in the toy world at present 5 whether children should be 6 to have war toys. I don’t believe in encouraging war toys, but I do not see 7 point in forbidding them when I think of the 8 of my friend Harry.

　　Harry is the 9 of a pair of strict parents who were totally against war. He was never allowed toy soldiers 10 a boy, never allowed toy guns. Harry grew up and went into the army, becoming a first-class soldier and 11 all sorts of military honors in a rather fierce unit. He became the opposite in 12 way of what his parents might have 13 of their son. And yet there is gentleness about Harry which shows a 14 personality. There is a sympathetic element (富于同情心的秉性) about the man which, I can see, 15 have come from his family. In spite of 16 things differently from our parents, a lot of the spirit gets passed on.

　　Parents certainly have to 17 their children what they believe to be right, but it is not so much your ideas that children 18 as your example. Perhaps the 19 way to teach one’s child gentleness is not to forbid toy guns, but to be gentle in 20 everyday life.
