Parents are often upset when their children praise the homes of their friends and regard it as a slur(诋毁)on their own cooking, or cleaning, or furniture, and often are foolish enough to let the adolescents see that they are annoyed. They may even accuse them of disloyalty, or make some spiteful remark about the friends’ parents. Such a loss of dignity and descent into childish behavior on the part of the adults deeply shocks the adolescents, and makes them resolve that in future they will not talk to their parents about the place or people they visit. Before very long the parents will be complaining that the child is so secretive and never tells them anything, but they seldom realize that they have brought this on themselves.
Disillusionment with the parents, however good and adequate they may be both as parents and as individuals, is to some degree inevitable. Most children have such a high ideal of their parents, unless the parents themselves have been unsatisfactory, that it can hardly hope to stand up to a realistic evaluation. Parents would be greatly surprised and deeply touched if they realized how much belief their children usually have in their character and infallibility, and how much this faith means to a child. If parents were prepared for this adolescent reaction, and realized that it was a sign that the child was growing up and developing valuable powers of observation and independent judgment, they would not be so hurt, and therefore would not drive the child into opposition by resenting and resisting it.
The adolescent, with his passion for sincerity, always respects a parent who admits that he is wrong, or ignorant, or even that he has been unfair or unjust. What the child cannot forgive is the parent’s refusal to admit these charges if the child knows them to be true.
Victorian parents believed that they kept their dignity by retreating behind an unreasoning authoritarian attitude; in fact they did nothing of the kind, but children were then too cowed to let them know how they really felt. Today we tend to go to the other extreme, but on the whole this is a healthier attitude both for the child and the parent. It is always wiser and safer to face up to reality, however painful it may be at the moment.
Adolescents in Victorian times
选项
A、had shown more respect for parents than today.
B、always answered back to deal with the problem.
C、admired the authoritarian attitude of their parents.
D、were too afraid to tell what they really thought.
答案
D
解析
细节判断题。根据题干中的Victorian times定位到末段。文中明确指出,维多利亚时代的父母之所以可以镇住孩子,倒不是因为孩子崇尚无理的权威,而是他们被这样的气势吓得不敢说实话。据此,D的表述与原文相符,为应选答案,同时排除B、C。维多利亚时代的孩子对于父母的尊敬还建立在屈服的基础之上.不能因此就判断他们比现在的孩子更多尊敬父母。据此分析,A也应排除。
