【正确答案】 C

【答案解析】[解析] 30-32 It is natural for young people to be critical of their parents at times and blame them for most of the misunderstandings between them. They have always complained, more or less justly, that their parents are out of touch with modem ways; that they are possessive and bossy; that they do not trust their children to deal with crises ; that they talk too much about certain problems—and that they have no sense of humor, at least in parent-child relationships. I think it is true that parents often underestimate their teenage children and also forget how they themselves felt when young. For example, young people like doing things on the spur of the moment: it is one of their ways of showing that they can accept a challenge. Older people worry more easily; most of them plan things ahead, at least in the back of their minds, and do not like their plans to be upset by something unexpected. So my advice to you is this: when you want to borrow the family car or get your mother to mend something for you, you will have better success if you can possibly ask in advance. Young people also make it harder for their parents to trust them because they like to shock them. They say things like "Everybody we know drives at ninety miles an hour" or "We've all decided we won't study for our final examinations—it's useless. " 30.
