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; that they do not trust their children to deal with crises; 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 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 (受压迫者); 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 show their existence by creating a culture of their own
B、have a strong desire to be leaders in style and taste
C、have no other way to enjoy themselves better
D、want to irritate their parents
答案
A
解析
许多青少年喜欢穿奇装异服,理怪异的发型,这主要是因为他们想创立自己的文化以证明自己的存在。原文第二段第二句说“Young people often irritate their parents with their choices in clothes and hairstyles…”,但是“This is not their motive.”,激怒父母并不是他们的动机,“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.”,他们觉得未被成人社会接纳而有一种隔离感,所以就创立自己的文化和社会。如果这激怒了父母,他们会觉得自己是潮流的领导者。因此,答案A是正确的,答案B强烈渴望成为时尚和品位的领导者不是根本原因,而答案C没有别的更好的娱乐方式和D想激怒父母都和原文不符。
