It is natural for young people to be critical of their parents at times and to blame them for most of the misunderstandings between them. They have always complained, more or less justly, that their parents are out of touch with modern ways; that they are possessive and dominant; that they do not trust their children to deal with crises; that they talk too much about certain problems—and that they have no sense of humor, at least in parent-child relationships.
I think it is true that parents often underestimate their teenage children and also forget how they themselves felt when young.
Young people often irritate their parents with their choices in clothes and hairstyles, in entertainers and music. This is not their motive. They feel cut off from the adult world into which they have not yet been accepted. So they create a culture and society of their own. Then, if it turns out that their music or entertainers or vocabulary or clothes or hairstyles irritate their parents, this gives them additional enjoyment. They feel they are superior, at least in a small way, and that they are leaders in style and taste.
Sometimes you are resistant and proud because you do not want your parents to approve of what you do. If they did approve, it looks as if you are betraying your own age group. But in that case, you are assuming that you are the underdog: you can’t win but at least you can keep your honor. This is a passive way of looking at things. It is natural enough after long years of childhood, when you were completely under your parents’ control. But it ignores the fact that you are now beginning to be responsible for yourself.
If you plan to control your life, co-operation can be part of that plan. You can charm others, especially your parents, into doing things the way you want. You can impress others with your sense of responsibility and initiative, so that they will give you the authority to do what you want to do.
Teenagers tend to have strange clothes and hairstyles because they_____.
选项
A、want to irritate their parents
B、have a strong desire to be leaders in style and taste
C、have no other way to enjoy themselves better
D、want to show their existence by creating a culture of their own
答案
D
解析
细节题。根据短文第三段中Young people often irritate their parents withtheir choices in clothes and hairstyles.This is not their motive.They feel cut off from theadult world into which they have not yet been accepted.So they create a culture andsociety of their own.可知年轻人穿奇异服装并不是要激怒父母,而是感觉与并不接受他们的成人世界隔绝了。所以便要开创自己的文化和社会。故选项D正确。
