Question

Recently a specialist(专家) in teenager studies does some research on teenage problems. He thinks parents shouldn’t be blamed of themselves because there is nothing they can do to deal with the teenage problem. Whatever they do, sometimes a wonderful, kind and helpful child will turn into a terrible animal.
I’ve seen friends deal with it in all kinds of different ways. One strict mother insisted that her son, should stand up, open doors and shake hands like a gentleman whenever anyone entered the room. I saw him last week when I visited them. Lying on the sofa, he made no attempt to turn off the loud TV he was watching as I walked in. His mother was angry. “I don’t know what to do with him these days,” she said. “He’s forgotten all the manners we taught him.”
He hasn’t forgotten them. He’s just decided that he’s not going to use them. She said that she would like to throw him down from the sofa onto the floor.
Another good friend of mine let her two daughters climb all over the furniture, reach across the table, stare at me and say, “I don’t like your dress, it’s ugly.” One of the daughters has recently been driven out of school. The other has left home.
“Where did we go wrong?” Her parents are now very sad. Probably nothing is wrong with the parents.

解析试题分析：这篇短文通过两个事例，说明孩子从懂事到无理的叛逆，父母有时却无能为力，父母们不得不接受这个不好的事实，不要再自责。
【小题1】细节理解题。根据短文第一段“Recently a specialist(专家) in teenager studies does some research on teenage problems.”描述可知，这篇文章的作者是研究年轻人的专家。故选A。
【小题2】词义猜测题。It出现在第二段的段首，应该指代上文第一段的最后一句话“Whatever they do, sometimes a wonderful, kind and helpful child will turn into a terrible animal”，即孩子从好变坏的情况。故选A。
【小题3】判断推理题。根据短文第二段“One strict mother insisted that her son, should stand up, open doors and shake hands like a gentleman ”以及其后的细节描述和该段最后一句话“He’s forgotten all the manners we taught him.”可以看出：一位严厉的母亲想把她的孩子培养成绅士，但是她的孩子后来对客人的表现却是很不礼貌。故选D。
【小题4】主旨大意题。根据短文“arents shouldn’t be blamed of themselves because there is nothing they can do to deal with the teenage problem”的描述就表明了作者的观点，父母不应当总是为此事而责怪自己。应当采取措施面对这个事情。然后又用了“ Probably nothing is wrong with the parents.”作总结，表明父母不得不接受这个不好的事实。故选A。
