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.
The first paragraph is mainly about______.
选项
A、the teenagers’ ability to deal with crises
B、misunderstandings between teenagers and their parents
C、the dominance of the parents over their children
D、the teenagers’ criticism of their parents
答案
D
解析
首段第一句提到了年轻人批评和责备父母,第二句紧接着列举了年轻人对父母抱怨的五个方面:They have always complained,more or less justly,that…that…that…that…and that…,显然是在进一步解释第一句,由此可知道首段讲的主要是年轻人对父母的批评和抱怨,故答案为[D]。首段主要讲年轻人对父母的抱怨,父母对年轻人的误解和管控只是其中的一个方面,无法概括首段的主要意思,故排除[B]和[C]。[A]在首段中未提到,且与第四段提到的年轻人不负责任不符。
