【解析】

试题分析：这篇短文讲述的是父母们都希望自己的孩子是最好的，所以会对孩子寄予很大的希望。当孩子表现不好的时候，家长们会阻止孩子看电视，玩电脑等。但是孩子的想法可能和家长是不一样的。

1.根据短文前三段的内容they want the child to be the best.可知，父母们都希望自己的孩子能够做到最好，所以父母们总是对孩子说，你必须努力学习、你应该做作业、你要为考试而复习。故这个空应该填best。

2.根据短文第二段的内容可知You must work hard，家长们都希望自己的孩子能做到最好，所以总是对孩子说，你必须要努力学习。故这里填work。

3.根据短文第三段的内容可知，当孩子的成绩不好时，家长们就会阻止孩子看电视。这个空的后面就是TV, watching TV 这个动词的ing形式在句中做主语。

4.根据短文最后一段的内容可知，现在的青少年们都喜欢上网，聊QQ,家长们觉得这是浪费时间，In their parents’ eyes, these are a waste of time，所以他们认为这样对孩子们的学习是有坏处的。故填bad， be bad for 是一个固定短文，意思是对…有害。

5.根据短文最后一段中They like pop songs,可知，青少年们喜欢流行歌曲，故这里应该填songs，song是一个名词，意思是歌曲。

6.根据短文最后一段They spend a lot of time chatting online and listening to the QQ music可知，青少年们花费很多时间在网上聊天，听QQ音乐。故这里应该是chatting，聊天。
