Question

You say you’re old enough to stay out late on weekends while they say you have to be home early. 1. You say you’ve met some nice kids and you’d like to go out with them, but they say they’d like to see your friends first.

When you’re a teenager, it seems that every time you say “I want to”, they will certainly answer “No, you can’t.” Also, no part of your life is safe from the “prying eyes” of your parents. 15-year-old Debbie says, “My dad always wants to know where I am, what time I’m going to be home. Most parents do that. Do they have to know everything? 2. ”

3. When something goes wrong, most parents just don’t believe in their children. Without asking why, they think their kids are wrong. And not many parents would allow their kids to choose for themselves.

4. But remember that not too long ago you were really a child. Your parents still remember the childish mistakes you used to make. They want to protect you though you do not want them to do so. And when something seems to threaten your well-being, they worry.

So, if you want to get more freedom, please try to understand your parents and do not just lie. 5. If you want them to allow you to stay out late, don’t just say, “All the other kids can stay out late.” Tell them as much as you can about what you want to do and where you’ll be and why it’s important for you to stay out later ..., they might just say yes.

A. Yes, it is true that your parents sometimes treat you like a small child.

B. No one likes being troubled.

C. Try a more friendly way.

D. They should give us more freedom.

E. Young people further complain that their parents do not respect them.

F. You say you want to see that new film while they say you can’t see it.

G. They are willing to give you advice on your friends.

试题分析：

1.根据下文You say you’ve met some nice kids and you’d like to go out with them, but they say they’d like to see your friends first.可以判断，父母总是不让你做想做的事情，因此选择F，意为：你说你想去看那部新上演的电影，但是他们说你不能看。

2.根据上文My dad always wants to know where I am, what time I’m going to be home. Most parents do that. Do they have to know everything?可知，父母什么都想知道，孩子却倍感压力。因此选择D，孩子认为父母应该给自己更多的自由。

3.根据下文When something goes wrong, most parents just don’t believe in their children. Without asking why, they think their kids are wrong.可知父母不信任自己的孩子，遇事不问青红皂白，就认为自己的孩子做错了。故选择E，意为：年轻人抱怨父母不尊重自己。

4.根据上文not many parents would allow their kids to choose for themselves.以及下文But remember that not too long ago you were really a child.可知，在父母心中自己的子女永远像孩子一样。故选择A。

5.根据上文please try to understand your parents and do not just lie可知这里是给孩子的建议，以及下文如果想在外面玩得晚一点，要告诉父母详细的细节可知，作者建议孩子换个方式和父母交流，故选择C。意为尝试更友好的方式。
