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：这篇短文讲述一位青少年研究学专家解释一些青少年出现的常见问题。这位专家表明，很多孩子并不是不懂礼貌、不懂事理，只不过他们不愿意去那样做。并且孩子出现的问题并不是父母的错，也不是父母所能选择的。

1.推理判断题。根据文章开头第一句Recently a specialist(专家) in teenager studies does some research on teenage problems.“最近译为青少年研究专家做了一些有关青少年问题的调查。”后文提到的都是有关青少年的一些问题，可以推断本文应该是青少年研究专家所写。故选A。

2.细节理解题。it上文提到的是一些青少年问题，因此it指代的是teenage problem。故选A。

3.推理判断题。根据文章第二段第四行Lying on the sofa, he made no attempt to turn off the loud TV he was watching as I walked in.“他躺在沙发上看电视，当我进来时也并不打算关掉他正在看的吵闹的电视。”以及后文这个孩子妈妈说的话He’s forgotten all the manners we taught him.“他将我教他的礼貌都忘了。”可知这个男孩的行为是粗鲁的，故选D。

4.推理判断题。文章最后一句Probably nothing is wrong with the parents.“很可能并不是我们父母的问题。”表明了作者的态度，孩子出现的问题并不是父母的错，不是我们所能选择的。故选A。
