Parents often find it difficult to win their childrens trust and they seem to forget how they themselves felt when they were young. For example, young people like to do things without much thinking. Its one of their ways to show that they have grown up and they can deal with anything difficult. Older people get worried more easily. Most of them plan things ahead and dont like their plans to be changed.When you want your parents to let you do something, you will have better success if you ask before you really start doing it.Young people often make their parents angry about the clothes they wear, the music they enjoy and something else. But they dont mean to cause any trouble. They just feel that in this way they can be cut off from the old peoples world and they want to make a new culture of their own. And if their parents dont like their music, their clothes or their manner of speech, the young people will feel very unhappy.Sometimes you even dont want your parents to say “Yes” to what you do. You just want to stay at home alone and do what you like.If you plan to control your life, youd better win your parents over and try to get them to understand you. If your parents see that you have a high sense of responsibility, they will certainly give you the right to do what you want to do. Choose the best answer. (5分)( ) 1.
