Question

You say you’re old enough to stay out late on weekends while they say you have to be home early. 1. You say you’ve met some nice kids and you’d like to go out with them, but they say they’d like to see your friends first.

When you’re a teenager, it seems that every time you say “I want to”, they will certainly answer “No, you can’t.” Also, no part of your life is safe from the “prying eyes” of your parents. 15-year-old Debbie says, “My dad always wants to know where I am, what time I’m going to be home. Most parents do that. Do they have to know everything? 2. ”

3. When something goes wrong, most parents just don’t believe in their children. Without asking why, they think their kids are wrong. And not many parents would allow their kids to choose for themselves.

4. But remember that not too long ago you were really a child. Your parents still remember the childish mistakes you used to make. They want to protect you though you do not want them to do so. And when something seems to threaten your well-being, they worry.

So, if you want to get more freedom, please try to understand your parents and do not just lie. 5. If you want them to allow you to stay out late, don’t just say, “All the other kids can stay out late.” Tell them as much as you can about what you want to do and where you’ll be and why it’s important for you to stay out later ..., they might just say yes.

A. Yes, it is true that your parents sometimes treat you like a small child.

B. No one likes being troubled.

C. Try a more friendly way.

D. They should give us more freedom.

E. Young people further complain that their parents do not respect them.

F. You say you want to see that new film while they say you can’t see it.

G. They are willing to give you advice on your friends.

試題分析：

1.根據(jù)下文You say you’ve met some nice kids and you’d like to go out with them, but they say they’d like to see your friends first.可以判斷，父母總是不讓你做想做的事情，因此選擇F，意為：你說你想去看那部新上演的電影，但是他們說你不能看。

2.根據(jù)上文My dad always wants to know where I am, what time I’m going to be home. Most parents do that. Do they have to know everything?可知，父母什么都想知道，孩子卻倍感壓力。因此選擇D，孩子認(rèn)為父母應(yīng)該給自己更多的自由。

3.根據(jù)下文When something goes wrong, most parents just don’t believe in their children. Without asking why, they think their kids are wrong.可知父母不信任自己的孩子，遇事不問青紅皂白，就認(rèn)為自己的孩子做錯(cuò)了。故選擇E，意為：年輕人抱怨父母不尊重自己。

4.根據(jù)上文not many parents would allow their kids to choose for themselves.以及下文But remember that not too long ago you were really a child.可知，在父母心中自己的子女永遠(yuǎn)像孩子一樣。故選擇A。

5.根據(jù)上文please try to understand your parents and do not just lie可知這里是給孩子的建議，以及下文如果想在外面玩得晚一點(diǎn)，要告訴父母詳細(xì)的細(xì)節(jié)可知，作者建議孩子換個(gè)方式和父母交流，故選擇C。意為嘗試更友好的方式。
