Which of the two is more important? In my opinion, it is friends who have the most powerful influence on young adults.According to social psychologists, children love their parents so much that they simply adore them, imitating their speech and behavior. By the time they are adults themselves, they have changed so much that they take their parents as equal adults belonging to a different and out-of- date generation. Consequently, the influence of parents begins to decrease. With the image of their parents as perfect or imperfect idols gone from their mind, young adults turn to the outside world. Youngsters share the same or similar perspectives and values. At this stage, they may not be able to find new idols, but they certainly influence each other in many aspects. They may also be influenced by many other factors in outside world, but comparatively speaking, the influence on them in most cases come from those peers around them.Of course, not all children follow suit. Some of them may get stuck totheir parents and some may turn to their teachers. However, generally speaking, mostly friends are the most important influence on young adults.二、Writing(Note-Writing)(本大题1小题.每题10.0分,共10.0分。
