It has never been easy to be a teenager, and it is particularly difficult today. The world expects us to be grown up but rarely treats us like adults; we are part of a society in which drugs are readily available but extremely dangerous; our education consists of examinations and more examinations...Is it any wonder we struggle at times?
One of the biggest problems is that parents demand mature and intelligent behavior from us, yet usually think of us as still being children. We help do a range of housework and care for sickly grandparents, but cannot watch adult movies on television. We are expected to show an interest in current affairs and get a part-time job to begin to support ourselves, but are not even allowed a say in where we go for the family holiday—never mind being allowed to holiday with our friends!
Outside the home, we have to make sure our dissatisfaction does not lead us to rebellion and to the dealers who are just waiting to sell us various drugs. Older generations had to come to terms with alcohol and cigarettes; that was easy, by comparison. We go to a club, to dance, then are faced with temptations(诱惑), peer pressures and our own desire to fit in with the crowd. There is always someone there with a designer drink, a designer smile and the latest designer drug to tempt us.
Being a teenager has never been harder
.
Of course, it has never been so hard in school either. We have so many examinations that it is difficult to keep track: SATs, GCSEs...and the practice tests that accompany them. Homework is never ending. No teacher seems aware of how much work the others are setting, and, anyway, they would not care, because they are all under orders to improve results or their own careers will suffer.
Parents will most probably say no to their children if they want to______.
选项
A、learn current affairs by watching TV
B、go on vacation with friends
C、take a part time job while in school
D、holiday with the rest of the family
答案
B
解析
此题考查考生根据上下文具体细节来进行合理理解和推断的能力。问题问:如果孩子们想要做什么,父母最可能会说不。根据题干中的线索词Parents,利用查阅式阅读我们可以在文章的第二段中找到与问题:答案有关的内容。这部分指出:父母希望我们关注时事新闻、找个兼职工作开始养:舌自己,但是在选择全家度假的地点时却不给我们一点发言权——更不用说他们会允许我们与朋友共度假期了!根据破折号后面的句子内容,我们可以推断出本题的正确答案应该是B,想和朋友们一起度假。选项A:通过看电视了解时事;C:上学期间做兼职工作;D:与其他家人一起度假;这三个选项的内容都不符合原文父母禁止做的内容,所以均为干扰项。
