问题     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 modem ways; that they are possessive and dominant (有支配力的，卓越的); that they do not trust their children to deal with crisis; 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 tree that parents often underestimate their teenage children and also forget how they themselves felt when young.
    Young people often irritate(使发怒) 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, ff 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(夫败者，处于劣势的人); you can’t win but at least you can keep your honor. This is a passive way 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 firings 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 do not want their parents to approve of whatever they do because they______.
选项 A、have already been accepted into the adult world
B、feel that they are superior in a small way to the adults
C、are not likely to win over the adults
D、have a desire to be independent
答案D
解析 细节题。本题问的是：青少年不想让父母对他们所做的任何事情都说赞成，是因为他们______。依据文章第4段的主要内容可知，不让父母赞成他们所做的每一件事是青少年引以为傲的事。这样一来他们就不会背离他们的群体，他们还能保持尊严。相反，完全处于父母的控制之下，他们就没有办法对自己负责，也就没有办法获得独立。故选 D 。
