Question

Recently a specialist(專家) 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.

解析試題分析：這篇短文講述一位青少年研究學專家解釋一些青少年出現的常見問題。這位專家表明，很多孩子并不是不懂禮貌、不懂事理，只不過他們不愿意去那樣做。并且孩子出現的問題并不是父母的錯，也不是父母所能選擇的。
【小題1】推理判斷題。根據文章開頭第一句Recently a specialist(專家) in teenager studies does some research on teenage problems.“最近譯為青少年研究專家做了一些有關青少年問題的調查。”后文提到的都是有關青少年的一些問題，可以推斷本文應該是青少年研究專家所寫。故選A。
【小題2】細節理解題。it上文提到的是一些青少年問題，因此it指代的是teenage problem。故選A。
【小題3】推理判斷題。根據文章第二段第四行Lying on the sofa, he made no attempt to turn off the loud TV he was watching as I walked in.“他躺在沙發上看電視，當我進來時也并不打算關掉他正在看的吵鬧的電視。”以及后文這個孩子媽媽說的話He’s forgotten all the manners we taught him.“他將我教他的禮貌都忘了。”可知這個男孩的行為是粗魯的，故選D。
【小題4】推理判斷題。文章最后一句Probably nothing is wrong with the parents.“很可能并不是我們父母的問題。”表明了作者的態度，孩子出現的問題并不是父母的錯，不是我們所能選擇的。故選A。
