【题目】七选五
根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Not all children want to listen to their parents. However, parents have been around for at least two decades or so longer than their kids. 【1】 Here are four ways in which they might be right.
【2】 People should want to grow and change with time in a good way. People who hang around with those who are not as smart as they are will stagnate (停滞). So try to surround yourself with people who are worth learning from.
The more you learn, the less you really know. People tend to believe that they are right about everything before they’ve really learned anything about the world. 【3】 This is largely due to contrast: people will realize how ignorant (无知) they were in the past after they’ve learned certain things, making them realize how much they’ve left to learn.
Growing up too fast is truly bad. 【4】 However, these are the years when you are going to be more protected from the cruel realities of adulthood. You should try to appreciate this aspect of this life stage without being concerned with pushing your development too hard.
It is better to try and fail than fail to try. Children have to learn that failure is part of life. 【5】 However, the sting (刺痛) of failure disappears gradually, and the regret about missed opportunities is going to sting far more for many adults. So don’t stop going for certain goals because of a fear of failure.
A. Parents are wiser than you think.
B. It’s hard enough for adults to accept.
C. Being around people who don’t challenge you is a bad idea.
D. Your childhood years may not be the best years of your life.
E. They have some life experience, and it makes sense to listen to them.
F. People who bring out the best in others will reach their personal best.
G. By the time they have, they’ll realize how complicated (复杂) the world can be.

试题分析：父母有生活经验，听他们的是有道理的。孩子必须知道失败是生活的一部分，不能因为害怕失败而停止实现自己的目标。
