38、chill doesnt have as much social life as his friends. （ A） TRUE （ B） FALSE Section B 60 Today, nearly everyone agrees that it is wrong to treat someone differently because of their race or background. But sadly these arent the only forms of unfair treatment in society. Prejudice against teenagers is

39、 both widespread and largely ignored. 【 B1】 _They frequently describe young people as being lazy, arrogant and stupid. Many also present teenagers as dangerous! One survey found that over 70% of news articles about young people were critical, and a third of these stories related to crimes. 【 B2】 _So

40、me go further, and actively seek to restrict their behavior. For instance, retailers may put up notices saying “maximum of two students permitted at any one time. “ If they wrote “women“ instead, theyd be asked to remove the signs immediately! 【 B3】 _ But their argument is factually incorrect. In re

41、ality, around three quarters of shoplifters are adults. Should we ban over-eighteen-year-olds from stores instead? 【 B4】 _But this low figure is one which little interests the media. Why?

Journalists need to raise awareness of different aspects of teenagers livesand politicians, businesses, teachers and parents need to listen. Are all blue-eyed peopl
