Mr and Mrs Smith had always spent their summer holidays in New Jersey in the past, staying in a small inn(旅店) at the foot of a hill.

It is natural that young people are often uncomfortable(不自在) when they are with their parents. They say that their parents don’t understand them. They often think that their parents are out of touch with modern ways; that they are too serious and too strict with their children; and that they seldom give their children a free hand.

It is true that parents often find it difficult to win their children’s trust and they tend to forget how they themselves felt when young.

For example, young people like to act on the spot without much thinking. It is one of their ways to show that they have grown up and they can face any difficult situation. 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(扰乱) by something unexpected.

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 with their choices in clothes, in entertainment and in music. But they do not mean to cause any trouble; it is just that they feel cut off from the older people’s world, into which they have not yet been accepted. That’s why young people want to make a new culture(文化) of their own. And if their parents do not like their music or entertainment or clothes or their way of speech, this will make the young people extremely happy.

Sometimes you are so proud of yourself that you do not want your parents to say “yes” to what you do. All you want is to be left alone and do what you like. It is natural enough, after being a child for so many years, when you were completely under your parents’ control.

If you plan to control your life, you’d 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(责任) , they will certainly give you the right to do what you want to do.

9.  are to blame(受到责备) for the quarrels between parents and their children, according to this article.

A. Parents

B. Young people

C. Neither parents nor their children

D. Both parents and their children

A. ask for advice before they really start to do anything

B. do things without thinking carefully ahead

C. be very strict with themselves

D. think in the same way as their parents do

12. Older people tend to _______.

A. remember how they themselves felt when they were young

B. act on the spot without thinking very carefully

C. plan things before they act

D. ask for advice from others

13. Young people like to have clothes, entertainment and music in their own way, because _______.

A. they want to make their parents angry

B. they try to get their parents into trouble

C. they want to try on something new and look different from the older people

D. they know they are cleverer than the older people

14. According to the text, young people want to make a new culture of their own, because _______.

A. they don’t feel they belong to the world of the older people

B. they do not want to get into trouble

C. they feel they are cleverer than the older people

D. they want to show they have grown up

15. If a young man plans to control his own life, it’s better for him to _______.

A. do everything according to his own wish

B. do everything the way his parents do

C. do everything under his parents’ control

D. do everything with a high sense of responsibility
