Question

【题目】 The clothes you wear. The food you eat. The color of your bedroom walls. Where you go and how you get there. The people you hang around with. What time you go to bed. What do these things have in common? You're asking. They're just a few examples of many hundreds of things that your parents controlled for you when you were a child.

As a kid, you didn't have a say in everything; your parents made decisions about everything from the cereal you ate in the morning to the pajamas you wore at night. And it's a good thing, too--kids need this kind of protection on their own.

But finally, kids grow up and become teens. And part of being a teen is developing your own identity one that is separate from your parents'. But as you change and grow into this new person who makes your own decisions, your parents have a difficult time adjusting（调整）.

In many families, it is this adjustment that can cause a lot of fighting between teens and parents. And issues like the type of friends you have or your attitudes to partying can cause bigger arguments, because your parents still always want to protect you and keep you safe, no matter how old you are.

The good news about fighting with your parents get more comfortable with the idea that their teens have a right to certain opinions. It can take several years for parents and teens to adjust to their new roles, though. In the meantime, focus on communicating with your parents.

Sometimes this can feel impossible-like they just don't see your point of view and never will. But talking and expressing your opinions can help you gain more respect from your parents.

Keep in mind, too, that your parents were teens once and that in most cases, they can relate to what you're going through.

【解析】

这是一篇议论文。文章分析了父母与孩子之间发生冲突的原因并表达了自己的看法。

【1】推理判断题。根据第一段中的They're just a few examples of many hundreds of things that your parents controlled for you when you were a child.（当你还是个孩子的时候，你的父母为你控制了很多事情，而这些只是其中的几个例子）和第二段中的And it's a good thing, too--kids need this kind of protection on their own.（这也是一件好事——孩子们需要自己的保护）可知，前两段主要列举了父母控制孩子日常生活的几个例子, 作者认为这是好事, 孩子本身就需要这份关爱。由此可知，前两段主要解释了父母控制孩子的必须要性。故选D。

【2】推理判断题。根据第三段中的But as you change and grow into this new person who makes your own decisions, your parents have a difficult time adjusting(调整).（但当你改变并成长为一个自己做决定的新人时，你的父母很难适应）及第四段中的In many families, it is this adjustment that can cause a lot of fighting between teens and parents.（在许多家庭中，正是这种调整导致了青少年和父母之间的冲突）可知，当孩子逐渐长大，有个人决定的时候，家长很难适应这种变化。由此推知，青少年和父母之间经常发生争吵是因为父母不习惯失去对孩子的控制。故选A。

【3】细节理解題。根据第四段中的because your parents still always want to protect you and keep you safe, no matter how old you are.（因为无论你多大，你的父母总是想要保护你，保护你的安全）可知，无论孩子多大，父母总是想要保护孩子，让他们不受到伤害。由此可知，父母控制青少年是为了保护他们不受伤害。故选B。

【4】主旨大意题。作者写本文的目的是帮助解决青少年在成长过程中与父母发生冲突的烦恼, 针对为什么会发生如此多的冲突进行分析, 并且表达了自己的看法。由此可知，D项Why do I Fight with Parents so Much?（为什么我总是和父母吵架?） 适合做本文最佳标题。故选D。
