阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。
A
A teenager needs to have a sense of independence in their life to feel secure(安全的).To some teenagers independence means a lot to them,and I think that some parents don’t allow their teenagers enough independence.
Independence has something to do with freedom.Some kids are not allowed to go anywhere alone,and the only thing their schedule includes is going to school,coming home,going to sleep,and repeating the process the next day.Parents tend to be afraid that their kids can get hurt if they go outside into the world.But if parents control their kids too much,they may never learn to live on their own.The best way for a teenager to learn lessons is through experience.I think it is beneficial for teenagers to have freedom.
Teenagers’ lack of freedom can also stop them from having good friendships at school.Some might say this is a good thing,because it helps them focus more on their schoolwork.I argue that this can only discourage them not to do their schoolwork.Some parents do not allow their children to be around their friends outside the school,thinking that this will get them into trouble.But I don’t think so.Instead,isn’t this a good reason for parents to get their children a cell phone?Cell phones allow teenagers to stay in touch with their parents,and communicate with friends.
Privacy is another issue between parents and their teenagers.Teenagers tend to enjoy relaxation by themselves in their own room.This also gives them a sense of independence.It often annoys teenagers when their parents enter their room when they are not home.I know that my mum always goes in my room when I’m not home,and this has brought me to the point where I have asked many times to get a lock on my door.
