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 teenagers see that they are annoyed. They may even accuse them of disloyalty, or make some unpleasant remark about the friends’ parents. Such a loss of dignity and descent into childish behavior on the part of the adults deeply shocks the teenagers, and makes them decide that in future they will not talk to their parents about the places 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 (幻想破灭) with the parents, however good and adequate they may be bom 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 (一贯正确), and how much this faith means to a child. If parents were prepared for this teen-aged 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 teenager, 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 can’t forgive is the parents’ refusal to admit these charges if the child knows them to be true.
Victorian (维多利亚时代的) 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 frightened 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.
According to the passage, when the children praise the homes of their friends, their parents do not tend to_____.
选项
A、be sad
B、speak bad words about the friends parents
C、praise with them
D、regard the praise as a slur on their own home
答案
C
解析
细节题。题目问家长不愿做的事。文章第一段第一、第二句提到:家长面对孩子夸奖别人家而表现出来的态度有以下几种: “Parents are often upset”(很沮丧)。或者是“regard it as a slur on their owncooking…”(认为是对家长本身劳动的一种诋毁),再或者是“make some unpleasant remark about the friends’parents”(在背后说孩子朋友的父母的不是)。这些都是家长们通常的反应,故A、B、C三项都与题意不符。而选项C“经常与孩子一起赞扬别人的家庭”是家长不愿做的事,故选C。
