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 lack 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 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 cannot win but at least you 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, cooperation 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 mainly because they______.
选项
A、want to have a culture of their own
B、enjoy being different in style and taste
C、have no other way to enjoy themselves better
D、want to irritate their parents
答案
A
解析
第三段首句提到年轻人常常在衣服、发型、娱乐和音乐的选择上与父母冲突,接着说明原因:他们感觉自己不被成人的世界所接受,和成人的世界隔绝了。所以他们创造了他们自己的文化和社会,故答案为[A]。[B]是针对第三段第三句设的干扰项。[C]在文中没有提到;根据第三段第二句This is not their motive可知,孩子们奇怪的服饰和发型经常让父母生气,但这并不是他们的动机,故排除[D]。
